Spectacular performance

The 12th generation Intel Core processors are a small revolution in the world of x86 architectures, they are the first to integrate a hybrid architecture. This process consists of combining two different types of cores on the same chip. The first 1, called Percormance-Cores, are dedicated to performance in games and mono-threaded applications requiring resources. The second type, called Efficient-Cores, are particularly efficient for multitasking and side task processing. Together, the two provide spectacular performance and incredible responsiveness for your system.

    Very good

    A ton of sockets to plug in fans or rgb, good visual aspect, the M2 SSD heatsink does the job (although you can only put it on slot 1, located on top of the graphics card, but even there it's still more efficient than putting the SSD in a cooler place lower down but without the heatsink), The bios is very complete to control everything (OC of the ram, the processor, undervolt point by point, and I pass obviously, it has everything of a big one), the software MSI Center can alone manage all the RGB (including my CG KFA2) and allows to do a lot of other things (although it is not perfect).
    The only (mini) negative point is that the IO Shield is not really plated as it should be (I have 1mm of daylight), but that doesn't take away from its other qualities

    I was forced to get a motherboard with six sata ports because of the old hard drives but I am not disappointed.
