    Good X870!

    After a long research on the different models of motherboards based on X870/X870E I found that the MSI MAG X870 TOMAHAWK corresponded perfectly to what I was looking for, an excellent connectivity on the I/O port, enough NVME port (special mention to the second for gen5 which if it is used for NVME GEN 5 does not lower the PCIE lines of the PCIE slot), very easy to assemble, keeps a good temperature.
    This card offers a lot of useful features for a reasonable price. Coupled with a 78003XD, the configuration will last for quite a few years.
    5 stars, the card is well worth it

    Top motherboard!

    A motherboard with a sleek, sober design that sets the tone for the whole beast!

    All the latest technologies are included to deliver a top-notch experience!

    Direct WiFi and Bluetooth with a handy magnetic antenna so you don't have to worry too much about positioning the antenna!

    The heatsink is huge, but there's still plenty of room to work without being bothered!

    A real pleasure to set up and use!
