  • Good motherboard for the 93€ I bought it for. It does what it promises. I combined it with a Ryzen 5 3600 and it works perfectly. The 4 stars are because the motherboard had the wrong BIOS installed and wouldn't boot. Everything had to be removed and only the power supply connected to flash the correct BIOS from a stick. Luckily, I have a second computer and there are relevant videos for help on YouTube.

  • The first slot is not working after a return and check request, it was returned to me with the same problem and additionally this time it does not recognize even the Windows. I don't know if it's the company's fault or the one who supplied it to me, but all this is unacceptable.
