Cette carte mère est un parfait achat pour ceux qui désire avir une carte toutes équipée avec un excellent rapport qualité prix. J'ai utilisé cette carte avec un AMD X2 7750 et le BIOS à détecté ce CPU sans problème et c'est ce que je m'Attendais puisque la premère révision du BIOS support ce CPU donc aucun risque. Mon kit de mémoire G.SKILL F2-8000CL5D-4GBPQ 800MHZ à aussi été détecté corectement par le BIOS avec tous les settings aux bonnes valeurs. Pour ce qui est du heatsink qui est plutot chaud (autour de 65C après une heure d'utilisation en idle) un simple ventilateur de 40mm collé avec un bonne goutte de silicone pour le bain sur ce refroidisseur à réglé ce petit soucis et à baissé la température de 20C!       » READ MORE
