Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

If you just remove the limits from the 11400 processor, then the board under load applies wild voltage to it, because of this, overheating and throttling. It is necessary to downvolt, the instruction is on the Internet. After this procedure, stable operation at a maximum frequency of 4.2 24x7 with a temperature of 75-80 under load. It is also worth considering at least a slight vrm blower, it can overheat and again cause throttling. The board is very good for its price, the i5 11400 opens up completely.

Pros

Inexpensive, vrm under the radiator, there is also one radiator for m.2 in the kit. It works, it's not buggy, there is auto-detection of 3pin-4pin fans in the BIOS, it's nice. All limits, timings and frequencies are in place. 2 m.2 connectors, one with sata support.

Cons

It is narrower than conventional ATX boards, so the side with sata and 24pin power is hanging in the air. If you look closely at the board itself, then it has non-solid-state, ordinary capacitors, I don’t know how long they will live. The built-in sound is terrible, it's flat with a dip in the mids and lows. As far as I'm not picky, but still noticed.
