For my build its exactly what i needed. My other motherboard was just slightly cheaper (just $50) but couldnt hold up (Ryzen 7 5700G with RX 6700 XT). This motherboard not only is holding up in performance its outperforming my dedicated wifi card and its sound is really realistic on games like R6Siege, Cod and World of Warcraft (Iconic RGB headset). Highly recommend.

Great board for the price. I used it in a Ryzen 5800X build and everything went smoothly — setup was easy, BIOS is super user-friendly, and it runs cool and stable even under load. Built-in Wi-Fi 6E and 2.5G LAN are a huge plus.
Only small downside is there’s no USB-C header for the front of the case, but not a dealbreaker. Overall, solid performance, clean look, and packed with features. Would definitely buy again.

replaced an ASRock X470 that died, all around upgrade, my temps are even improved all around, ram let me stabalize the overclock at 3600mhz, up 200mhz from the 470, plus the bios are much better all around
also let me undervolt my 5800 X3D, not many options as far as boards go for that.
only complaint, no bios reset button, still jumping pins

My previous motherboard stopped working and I had to get a back up. This motherboard worked without any issues! I was lucky this was the only AM4 motherboard best buy had available in store!

Overall a good AM4 motherboard if you are needing a replacement. Offers good bios options and software to support it. The only issue I had was a BIOS update was required for a chip that was probably 2 years old before it would boot. I could have just got older stock that was sitting on the shelf but still somewhat disappointing. This is a full size ATX board so make sure your case will support it if upgrading from a Micro-ATX board that comes in many prebuilt systems.

Good motherboard all the extras and solid performance. Wifi was solid, ethernet worked well, audio sounded good through my speakers no interference. Bluetooth worked well. M.2 slots fast. I paired it with 2 different cpus in 2 different builds. 5600x in one and currently a 5600g. I would buy again.

The board had a couple hitches when I first tried to fire it up, but it worked fine after I reset the power. Not sure why this happened. I've been using this board for a couple weeks now and I have not had any issues. I've been able to manually ramp up the memory speeds without any issues.
The BIOS version that came on this board supports newer processors like the 5800x3d and the 5700x out of the box. I didn't have to go through the hassle of flashing the BIOS to run it with the 5700x I had bought. Not like that would have mattered anyway because this board is supposed to have the USB BIOS Flashback feature that allows the user to Flash the BIOS without a CPU, but I didn't try using that feature. This might come in handy in case AMD decides to release a few more AM4 processors..... which is rumored to happen.
The VRM cooling on this board is supposed to be good. So you should be able to push a 5950x and not worry about frying the board.
The only complaint I have is this board comes with a cheaper and older version of the Realtek Audio Codec. It's not much better than what came with my old Z77 Sabertooth board.
I'm running this board in an older Cooler Master CM690 case. With a Fuma CPU cooler, the 5700x stays ice cold and I've never seen it hit 60c while under load.

I find that this motherboard delivers good performance, particularly with the 5900x processor, and appreciate its quality for gaming. The installation process is relatively simple, and they like the connectivity options, including dual M.2 slots and multiple USB 3.2 ports for peripherals. I consider it good value for money and appreciate its sleek design.
