To use RAID, you have to enable Intel VMD in UEFI, then you can install Intel Storage SW, which then reports that VMD is disabled and must enable it. Even so, it failed to recognize the previously created RAID array and reports it as corrupted without the ability to repair it.
After installing 4x DDR5 modules, it runs at half the speed (specified in the specification), which does not significantly affect games and 3D applications, but for memory-intensive activities (e.g. video processing, databases, etc.) will cause a 40% performance loss (max. 22GB/s vs. 30+GB/s with 2 modules). Additionally, after enabling XMP, the board tries to get the memory to a given frequency (7200MHz) every time it powers up and then only realizes it has to use half that (3600Mhz) and after about a minute reports it as a boot error (and then boots normally).
When overclocking the CPU, it gets worse results (i9 14900K only got to 5.65GHz, although another manufacturer's board got the same CPU up to 5.8 to 6.2GHz (for different cores)).
All FAN connectors (except CPU1) can be switched to PUMP mode for water cooling
Large number of fast NVME, SATA and USB ports (incl. internal 3xUSB2 and 5xUSB 3)
Backlighting of the shield, chipset heatsinks and M2 ports + 1x RGB and 3x ARGB ports + SW for color adjustment (or switching off)
14th generation CPU support + support for BIOS update without CPU
After installing 4 RAM it runs at half speed (2000MHz, XMP max. 3600MHz) and also reports a boot error (even though the PC boots after a minute)
RAID works strangely and reports an error condition at boot
Cannot connect 5 x M2 because M2_1 and M2_2 are opposite each other and occupy the same space
Cannot use M2 gen5 and PCIe 16x at the same time
The WiFi antenna is not magnetic, it only contains a sticker for sticking to the box or monitor.
Not suitable for 3 to 4-slot GK (First and second PCI slot are close together, supplied GK bracket is too short)
Not very good CPU overclocking options
