Received my board today and noticed the it was tampered with the seal was pulled off and -stuck back on upon inspection , i found that the board is cracked !! Hopefully the new Board is is in better condition 🤞

la placa aprendio a pensar y me esta hablando en aleman, pero muy buena compra

I write this after about 1 year of post-build use. The board just works, but I did my research up-front to be sure I was buying all the right components (I leaned heavily on Level1 forums, others). I should add that this is not a typical consumer motherboard. I mean that technically (build-detail precision required), but also physically. It is heavy, very heavy. And big, very big. Make sure the case you choose (extended-ATX) can fit this board - not all E-ATX can. I went with Fractal Torrent. Also, not all RAM listed on the QLV is best. I went with the listed Samsung ECC variant. And for PSU, Corsair flagship 1600. You might/likely need longer cables than the stock PSU cables due to the distance between the PSU placement in the Torrent and the motherboard. Heatsink fan is fine but be sure to use the best paste, MK6 is what I used. And be sure to connect all the power inputs into the board, for long-term stability. That's all the biggest issues you should know. As built it is an extremely flexible and cost-effective platform (arguably more stable, too, than the WRX90 variant). I'm using it to host my bare-metal LLMs, content GFX editing, vlog streaming, Windows Infrastructure VM testing environments, gaming and more. The electrical draw is not as extreme as I imagined, but I use professional grade GPUs, RTX 4x00 series. So, unless I'm hammering the system, it doesn't use any more electricity than my upper-range normal PC, in fact it uses less because of the efficiency gains. And lastly, ironically, I paid 30% less for this board 1 year ago. In fact, I got luck: all together, my build is now worth twice what I paid for it early in 2025.

Packaged poorly like last time but luckily arrived undamaged. This may be the heaviest motherboard I have ever owned and that is saying a lot. It is beefy, for serious PC builders. That being said, it was packaged inside of a large Amazon box almost 3 feet long and twice as big as the motherboard box with a single 3 foot piece of brown packing paper so it slid freely inside. I can only imagine the abuse it suffered getting here and may account for why the first one didn't work. But this one does and it is fast!

This board is total garbage it's bigger than most boards so it's hard to get it into the case once you get it in the sata ports are behind your front panel devices once you get past that the board shuts off without rhyme or reason mostly during boot up
