The assembly was very pleasant, after I finally had the right cable I found out that there are problems with the ethernet port when I connect it via a switch. These have not yet been resolved

The motherboard works fine. In combination with an Intel Core i9 and Kingston HyperX 32GB, everything works nice and fast. Videos in 4k are displayed fine. Applications such as Premiere CC 2021, Photoshop CC 2021 and Lightroom Classic CC 2021 work nice and fast. Only problem is the display of QR codes in Chrome. Seems to be an issue with Chrome in combination with the drivers of the UHD graphics 750. Also occurs with Edge (not strange, as Edge uses the same engine as Chrome). But it works fine with Firefox. I have a lot of USB peripherals and wish I had a few more USB ports. But with a PCI card with 4 USB ports, which I had lying around, this problem was quickly solved. I thought that my old SSD-HD with Windows 10 could be used without reinstallation. However, the motherboard BIOS didn't work with this SSD-HD, so I had to install Windows 10 from scratch. I also needed a new license. Fortunately, there are suppliers on the internet who can provide these licenses cheaply.
