great model, love it
30 November 2020 
Excellent motherboard
Everything works perfectly, the first "record" was memory 4500 at CL16 with a voltage of 1.5
I don't see the need for the lighting; they could have left it out since it's not very bright and you can't really see it under the graphics card.

Great model, installed i5 10600k and it works perfectly, no complaints. It weighs like someone's actual MOTHER
Lots of slots for fans, cool backlight, very beautiful and convenient motherboard, convenient and understandable BIOS. When buying the opera, it turned out to be defective, I found out by LED post codes, it helped a lot. Good instructions, all connectors are specially designed for cable management
everything seems ok
