No problems to report with this super model CM! At first I had a problem but it turns out it was my faulty HDMI cable, more fear than harm.
The motherboard was received on time and was as well packaged as ever. I opted for MSI, a brand that I really like, particularly for their BIOS, which I find easy to access without being overloaded with information.
I paired it with an Intel Core i9-13900K and 6400 MHz DDR5 (make sure you activate the frequency in the BIOS, otherwise the RAM will be limited to around 4000 MHz).
When installing Windows 11, it asked me for an Internet connection and, of course, it didn't recognise the drivers even though I'd updated the BIOS correctly (and in the boot sequence, the key supplied with the card wasn't listed). So I started by installing Windows 10, then downloaded all the drivers that I'd previously stored on a USB stick. Finally, I updated to Windows 11 using the utility.
