Motherboard, CPU, and NVMe Hard drive that I wanted at one place and at a good price. Fast to arrive and worked to my expectations.

Great features Tremendous value for 12th-gen Intel builds

- Two LED ARGB light zones. One by the heatsinks and one by the chipset. Can set up different effects using GCC. I wasn't expecting the motherboard to have lights on it. Photos attached show the two zones in white. - Extensive BIOS options. Not sure how to tweak everything for max performance. There are auto tweak settings as well. - Great front panel I/O options. - Easy to install and setup.



1. Bios is very easy to navigate. There's a beginner's version, and an advanced, which I use. Compared to other bios , the advanced is simple. 2. Easy install. Later, I put in an M2/NVMe 1 TB system drive, which worked terrific. 3. Have never had any issues with this board after 2 1/2 years. Never upgraded the bios, it's been fine since 2019. It amuses me to read bad reviews from purchasers who don't know what the h*** they're doing.


Plenty of I/O, 3 M.2 drives, PCIE5, wifi (haven't tested this yet). Quiet fan curve by default but stays cool, my 250K at 100+ watts is barely over 50, while nothing else on the board is out of the 30's. No issues applying XMP timings. The main workload I bought this for a heavily threaded Python app with a lot pillow usage and perceptual hashing limited by memory bandwidth. This is a whole lot faster than my 11700k and has been rock solid. Probably nothing to stress the 8 phase power delivery, which is fine with me!
