The item was good, I'll recommend it to my friends.

In general, I managed to do without reinstalling windows 10 only on Bios F3 (downloaded from the site) and with CSM mode enabled (I also later rolled back the BIOS from F5 back to F3). I had to change the power supply. for some reason, the mother refused to work with the old one (chiftek 2022) at 1250 watts. The attached screw for fixing the M2 ssd immediately fell off the head with the slightest screwing, which indicates the low quality of the metal. Returning to Bios, I want to add that it is very buggy, on the F5 version it often does not turn on at all, and on the F3 version it turns on, but sometimes it sticks and does not switch settings sections.

Pros

A lot of the latest technologies on board, a good RGB Fusion 2.0 lighting program, a lot of fan headers, the ability to flash the BIOS to a previous version

Cons

A very raw buggy motherboard BIOS that literally forces you to reinstall windows. does not see the operating system on boot disks (sees the disks themselves in CSM mode), the screws for fixing the M2 ssd are of very poor quality, poor equipment for such a price
