labeling of connectors and slots make installation very easy. FROZR M.2 cooler is really stout and easy to install. Solid VRM's BIOS buttons make troubleshooting very easy.

- Price - for a B850 ITX motherboard, it is already great value and even better if you do the rebate. - Solidly built with good heatsinks that don't limit too much cooler compatibility or block ultra small sized cases. - Quick boot times.

other then one of my RGB pin was slightly bent but was able to straighten it out. other then that for the price this board is great. I got a white pc built so it look and perform amazing. I would definitely buy another one in the future.

Huge io looks fantastic m.2 are easy to install Gigabyte easy GPU release is nice All cable connects are in the perfect spot


It was easy to plug in components and the board was sturdier than I thought it would be.

No issue at all Paired with 9900X with 7900 GRE and it works like a charm I went back to AMD because of Intels problem

Bios easy to update and navigate.

The board has all the right ports and plenty of options when it comes to your NVME or SATA drives. I also appreciate the heatsink for one of the SSD spots. It also looks very nice in a black tower white would also give a good look. It definitely isn't built cheap, which gives it a durable and nice feel and look. All of the ports feel good and stable. It is very helpful to have a few different troubleshooting lights as well! That really helped me when I was figuring out my graphics problem.

"This review is for the Asrock review rebate program" Booted right up and as given no issues with my R5 3600.

This is an absolutely awesome motherboard specially in the bio settings. There are tons of options.

Basically plug n play with a Ryzen 7 9700x. Did not have to update any BIOS. Plugged everything in and turned it on. Using the EXPO profile for the RAM was super easy.

Awesome board I love it runs my i7 13700 so good no high temperature underload it's also good for overclocking

-Stable -Plug and Play -great compatibility -good IO -easy to use bios -all m.2 slots cant be used without taking lanes from your GPU

Easy set up Quality

I like everything about this board. Great bios - has everything you need for OCing. Performs great - like a much more expensive board. I'm running a 3700x in it with Team T-Force Xtreme 4133 memory - which it booted on right off. I'm also running a Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD and an EVGA 1660 video card.

- Memory Support - UEFI Ease of use - Setup and Installation - Ease of Installation for NVME drives - Number of M.2 Slots without lane sharing - Layout

- Easy to install components. - Fit like a glove in the Corsair Frame 4000 case.
