Update 2/9/23. I've been running a 13700k on this board since November 2022 and have had zero issues. I updated the bios while I still had the 12700 in it. I also added another 32gig stick of Crucial 4800 DDR5 for a total of 64 gigs of ram running at 4800mhz (XMP mode) and a Crucial P5 plus 1TB for my system drive and a Crucial P3 Plus 2TB for my game drive. I'm still rolling with the 3060ti. It's been a very solid motherboard, I haven't had a single blue screen or lockup since I bought it.
PCIe x16 with gen 5 for future-proofing and good ddr5 ram compatibility.
Plenty of fan headers and decent vrm heatsinks.
Plenty of M.2s.
Wonderful board with solid core features and no frills. Perhaps the best value 12th gen intel board with ddr5, at least at the time of writing. Would have been nice to have thunderbolt, but the io is otherwise solid.
The first board I got came with a single bent pin in the upper part of the socket, causing the graphics card slot to not work, despite bending it back into place such that I could no longer make out which pin had been bent. Due to the placement of the pin in the midst of others, I doubt I could have somehow pushed the single pin over without hitting any others, so it must have came that way. Replaced without hassle though so that was fine, and at the price, it still can't be beat.
Super solid no nonsense build. Great performance, great VRM temps.
Definitely worth the money!!

I just wanted a clean looking and affordable motherboard, with modern features.
The 2.5Gbps NIC is definitely a bonus (though I can't utilize it yet... cat 5e in my walls...).
No issues at all yet, been running for over a month.

Las BIOS son faciles de configurar y la habilidad de poder configurar los ventiladores con graficos es super util, sin duda es una tarjeta con la que espero pasar mucho tiempo antes de poder reemplazarla.
Reviewed in Mexico on March 17, 2022
Las BIOS son faciles de configurar y la habilidad de poder configurar los ventiladores con graficos es super util, sin duda es una tarjeta con la que espero pasar mucho tiempo antes de poder reemplazarla.
Tuve dificultades con la tajeta al inicio, no se si venía mal configurada pero no mostraba nada ni lograba cargar la BIOS, tuve que llevarla con un técnico para que arranque.
Windows no tiene drivers predeterminados de red para esta tarjeta. Hay que conectarla por usb (wifi o red del celular) para descargar los drivers o instalarlos por memoria usb descargados de otra computadora. Encima los drivers me dejaron de funcionar después de una actualización de windows.
Esta tarjeta es de muy baja calidad como para su precio, debería tener un precio más cercano a una de bajo presupuesto.
Lo positivo de la tarjeta es que tiene socket de 13va generación y espacio pleno para expanción de memoria y PCI
