A good product, more pros than cons.

After the first assembly, the mother refused to start, EZ Debug was on fire at the DRAM stage. What I just didn’t try: taking out the dies, putting them in different slots, taking out the BIOS battery - nothing helped, I already thought about returning the mother or the strips, but in the Double Front group one person suggested doing a number of rather unusual actions: turn off the PC, get the power cord and after that, close two jumpers on the board: JBAT1 and exactly at the same time with it the jumpers of the power button (the first two contacts of JFP1). After that, the board started up, lowering it for 10 seconds, again checking the memory. In general, a sensible board for 12100, maybe even for 12400. If not for this incident with a non-launch, it would be generally wonderful. Memory was Kingston FURY Beast KF432C16BBK2/16

Pros

Convenient bios, the presence of Ez Debug LED (and it can be useful to you, believe me. See comments). The only, it seems, mother, on the H chipset, where two ARGB connectors are soldered. Enough ports, Gigabit Ethernet from Intel.

Cons

Bad, really bad slots for RAM: it latches on only one side, you need to press hard enough. Taking into account the fact that the textolite here is quite thin, it becomes scary for the mother, honestly. If you have cards of the thirtieth RTX series and higher, then without a tool or very thin and long fingers you will never snap off the video card yourself, because there is no space at all between the cooler (SE-224-XT) and the card.
