This motherboard is a savage
This thing is a boss!. So much room for overclocking, and literally everything you could ask for in a motherboard. I do not like the shared lanes for m.2 and GPU however I would never run that many m.2 drives anyways lol. You only need 2 really large M.2 drives to have enough storage for just about anything you could want. I have this paired with a Ryzen 9 9950X3D (beast mode), an PNY RTX 5080 and TridentZ Royal 6000, sitting inside of the HYTE Y70 case, and more RGB than a European rave.

Amazing motherboard
I wouldn’t really say any flaws you know what you’re buying. I had no issues with the install and it’s been running great for the past month.
