Aesthetically Amazing, But With Unnecessary Fixes

Aesthetically this board is awesome! Functionally everything works great. No issues with booting up with a Ryzen 7800x3D and 6400 MHz of Corsair Dominator 32 GB DDR5 (running at full specs). The NZXT CAM software, while not amazing, is 10 times better than what I was working with before. The board is manufactured by ASRock, which has a great reputation for quality. It’s only been 10 days so far, but everything is running stable. Also, 5 system fan headers in addition to the CPU and CPU Pump headers. 4 NZXT proprietary ARGB headers, but only 2 generic ARGB headers.
I did have a couple of issues, that while simple to fix, seemed way to obvious for NZXT to fumble the ball with.
First… The included heatsink for the first NVMe slot has a 1mm thermal pad that was too thin to make contact with my Samsung 980Pro NVMe drive (didn’t even touch it). You would have to replace it with at least a 1.5mm (I used a 2mm) thermal pad to make adequate contact to transfer heat from the drive. Fortunately I already had thermal pads on hand already to quickly fix this, but most people would not.
Second… So the really cool magnetic covers for the 2nd and 3rd NVMe slots, that also give the motherboard it’s really cool aesthetic. Are NOT intended as heatsinks for the NVMe drives they cover. I needed to use the second slot, so I was able to remedy this and use them as heat sinks anyway, I just doubled up the 2mm thermal pads for a total of 4mm and it made solid contact with the cover. The magnets on the covers are strong enough to keep them firmly in place. It would have been very easy for NZXT the tweak the design so they would have been better suited as heatsinks out of the box.
My last one doesn’t really count, but… The board has a really cool simple black aesthetic, but NZXT went with the standard AM5 CPU mounting system with bright silver steel hardware.I replaced the screws with black #6-32 3/8in star drive screws and a Thermalright AM5 CPU holder, which from the pics in included, looks a lot cleaner.
Other than the initial modifications I had to do, I’ve been very happy with this board and especially how it compliments my PC build.

Gorgeous Motherboard, So Far So Good

Stunning all black Motherboard.
NZXT continues to be the only player in the game who understands minimalistic design for the Motherboards.
My only gripe would be that there is no way to turn off the Power/Rest buttons LED on the physical board when the computer is in sleep mode.
I have my PC in my bedroom and need it pitch black to sleep. Because of this I have to shut down my computer every single night which isn't a big deal but it's something I'm not used to doing as this wasn't an issue with my previous MSI board.

This was an upgrade from a motherboard I had a few years old. This one had much expanded capabilities and allowed a chipset upgrade as well as a better cooling system. It came as advertised and is working great, would recommend 10/10
