Good placement of all plugs. Easy BIOS layout. Didn't come ready for my Ryzen 9 5900X, but it was easy to USB Flash update the BIOS. Not a lot of RGB (which I like). Love the dual LAN connections (great for work).

Simple to set up, makes sense visually. Decent board

Waited 12 days to begin my PC build. Took the motherboard out of the box, mounted it, built the PC, attempted to turn it on and nothing. A PC store informed me the motherboard was bad. Best But won’t refund after their 14 day period so now I’m left with a $200 piece of junk.

I purchased this motherboard because of it's superb VRM (voltage regulation module) This is why you see such large heat sinks along the top left of the board. VRM quality should be one of your MUST HAVEs when shopping for a motherboard. The thickness of the PCB as well. Motherboards are complex. I'll try to be brief about the other reasons. PCIe 4.0. Two M.2 slots. BIOS flashback and several other features were great to have as well. The board does have some basic RGB lighting but I don't really care about that stuff. Manual was a bit stingy with info and I had to search the board itself for the location of jacks and pins.

I thought it was time for an upgrade, I had a MSI B350 Carbon Pro and I found this at a good price(I let my wife have my old pc for her office) I used this for a new build along with some rgb fans and a AMD 9 3900X along with some rgb ram and the build looks fantastic. This thing is a beast so I feel I won't have to upgrade for a long time. It was easy to install and the motherboard is solid, no flex on the board. It has tons of feature too.
