Overall, I am very happy with this motherboard. Even though it is a Mini-ITX model, it offers rich connectivity, a high-quality VRM, and good cooling. I also appreciate the support for PCIe 5.0, fast NVMe SSDs, and high DDR5 memory frequencies. A major plus is the BIOS Flashback feature, which allows you to update the BIOS without needing to install a processor or RAM. On first boot, the board was running BIOS version 4.16 and my Ryzen 5 7500X3D was recognised without any issues. The board offers a very good price-to-performance ratio. Based on my experience, it is an excellent choice for a compact AM5 build. The only downside is the lack of dedicated diagnostic LED indicators. However, basic diagnostics are possible via the flashing power LED on the PC case. Different flashing frequencies signal different system states, and their meanings are described in detail in the motherboard manual.

The second memory slot does not work. Unfortunately, I only found this out a long time after buying it, so my only option left is to make a warranty claim. I bought the PC components slowly, almost every month for the last six months. I have only put the whole PC together now. Otherwise, after a brief test, I can say that in other respects the board is good. The cheapest AM5 with DP-Type-C.
I would advise new buyers not to repeat my mistake and to test it straight after purchase.
Otherwise OK
Faulty item

Well, I hope what people are writing won't happen to me: "the motherboard short-circuited after 2 weeks in the PC and took the processor down with it."
Passive cooling
Price compared to the competition
Classic screw-in antennas
Probably nothing.

If you don't want to lose your 9000 series cpu so don't buy this board. Even bios 3.40 did not help (9800x3d) I recommend to use only with 7000 series
Finally an ITX board for reasonable money

Based on the reviews I was a bit worried about the weak Bluetooth but after updating the BIOS to the latest version I don't have any of the problems mentioned below and installing the latest drivers I have no problem.
Super price for ITX
Good connector layout
One of the PWM connectors is right next to the PCIe x16 slot and a bit harder to plug in when the GPU/riser is plugged in

easy installation
auto update drivers
quite clear bios
bluetooth has a very small range
bluetooth sometimes pauses when playing music - solved by usb dongle but this makes bluetooth on the board meaningless
