TO THE TOP
As always with ASUS, I am not disappointed. Stability, reliability and performance are the key words.
I recommend a good update of the Bios before installation and afterwards it's all good.

It also supports DDR5 RAM, PCI-Express 5.0 16x graphics cards, SATA 6 Gb/s and M.2 PCI-E 4.0 drives and USB 3.1 and USB 3.2 peripherals.
The 12th generation Intel Core processors are a small revolution in the world of x86 architectures, as 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 ones, called Performance-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.
