I'm a little disappointed with the value for money. This board is sold at a high price and makes do with the bare minimum in terms of options. Only 3 jack sockets for audio (my previous motherboard at half the price had 5 + optical output).
No indicator lights to troubleshoot the card in case of component failure.
But the thing I didn't like the most was the fact that despite the ATX format, which is supposed to be standard, this board is slightly shorter by 1cm and only has 6 screws to attach it (instead of the usual 9). This may seem like a minor detail, but when you have to exert a lot of pressure to clip the ATX power plug in and the motherboard twists because it's floating in the air without any support, it really doesn't inspire confidence.
Apart from these weak points, the card works very well and fulfils its function correctly.
This is my first desktop PC, I can't rate each component separately but my final configuration suits me perfectly, fast, fluid and quiet for an affordable price:
- INTEL CORE I5-14600KF (3.5 GHZ / 5.3 GHZ)
- ASUS PRIME Z790-P
- Kingston FURY Beast RGB 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR5 6000 MHz CL40
- Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 GAMING OC 12G (rev 2.0) (LHR)
- Kingston SSD NV2 1Tb
- be quiet! Pure Base 600 Window Orange
- be quiet! Dark Rock 5
- Seagate BarraCuda 2Tb (ST2000DM008
- be quiet! Pure Power 12 M 850W 80PLUS Gold
- PC mounting without system
- SATA cable (50 cm)
Assembled by LDLC, I made a few additions myself (RAM and M.2 SSD): simple, efficient and solid, with a wide range of connectors.
No problems encountered
Very good motherboard, exactly what I was looking for, good value for money/features. Nothing to report, it's all good!
