I do find the light on the motherboard a bit little, to be honest I expected a bit more. That's partly because my video card is half in front of it. Herlt works very well and it is easy to use. The user manual is also very clear, with videos and clear images.
I have to say that my monitor has very little hertz for my pc, if I win this money I will buy a new game monitor (at coolblue) namely an aoc 144 hz monitor.
