Very good motherboard
Personal use. Apart from the design, I was looking for a motherboard with 6 SATA connections and WiFi.
The only downside is that the use of 1 of the 3 M2 slots inhibits the use of 2 SATA ports.Review automatically translated -

Well received
Order received perfectly on time. It is just a shame that the box is not sealed with these seals given the price at which we buy this equipment.

No bottleneck
I use this motherboard coupled with an i9-13900KS and 32GB DDR5 6400Mhz CL32-32-32.
Obviously used for gaming, the motherboard allows you to not have any bottleneck on your configuration.
I use this same computer for photo processing as well and having so much storage capacity is very handy especially at this speed. No compromises on this motherboard except maybe the number of fan pins (this could be a problem for those who absolutely want to connect each of its fans to a pin and not a HUB that splits the whole thing).
I did a wifi test once mounted even though I never use it and I had no bad surprises contrary to what I have seen on forums (maybe it's very "local").
The price may lack a start-up error indicator but that is not a big deal.Review automatically translated
