Revainrating 4 out of 5

It is of good quality, but I won't buy it again.

So, I bought the board, installed it, and in general, there were no issues with the installation in the case; it was nearly an intuitive installation. I looked into the manual for connecting the power buttons, reset, and their indicator lights; however, these are inconsequential details, so let's skip over them. Everything worked properly when it was initially tried. Nevertheless, I couldn't resist but poke about in the computer's BIOS. And it was at this point that concerns and misunderstandings first started to surface. Since it was turned on right away since the speaker's beeping gets on your nerves, in my opinion, already for me it is easier to navigate by what is happening on the monitor, the first query was why the corporate logo is not displayed at startup (well, or at reboot). The second question is as follows: what for when you voyage into 2022 while still using the same BIOS, and while storing the settings and exiting it? When you press Ctrl+Alt+Del during boot, the computer turns itself off and then back on again in the same fractions of a second; this is something that I have never seen from any other manufacturer. Oddly enough, I revert back to English when the computer does this. Of course, I was surprised when it did this; in particular, I have never seen this from any other manufacturer. The use of words was the solution to the issue. Tell me the conditions that led to the establishment of this board, because it's really interesting: D. The remaining configurations are already optimized (on auto). Aside from that, the board functions similarly to any other board, the BIOS was updated to H.60 using m-flash, and although everything went smoothly, the issues (questions) raised earlier have not been resolved. In general, I noted that they want and laud the cost, but despite that, there is obviously enough marriage, and whoever is lucky will depend on the revision, because the majority of the questions, despite being identical, are still somewhat different from one another. I'll say it again: the opinion is completely based on one person's experience, and I don't pretend to have all the answers. My setup includes a Ryzen 2700x processor, 32GB of RAM (GoodRAM GR2666D464L19S/8G, in 4 separate sticks), a Coguar GX-S 750 power supply, a 1000GB Toshiba hard drive, a 250GB WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSD, and a Philips 223v7qsb display.

Pros
  • Support for two different video cards, the inclusion of a slot for an M.2 solid-state drive, and the ability to connect multiple different types of cooling units, including ones that use water are all desirable features. Since I have been driving the board for the past little while, in general, my opinion is somewhat hazy and completely subjective regarding the virtues; however, we will continue to examine this.
Cons
  • It's not that there are flaws; rather, there are questions with a "raised eyebrow" based on what I was able to test out, but more on that will be covered in the following section.
