Good motherboard, rear mounting a real plus.
Superb motherboard, neat design, heatsinks everywhere... etc.
The rear assembly is really clean (I only have the graphics card cable visible in the box).
Please note that depending on the case, the power supply cables can seem very large (solved by taking custom mod cables with much shorter cables... but beware of the price).
What would be really great would be to see the manufacturers who offer these motherboards offering suitable power supplies (or cable kits for their power supplies) ;)Review automatically translated
