Easy to setup, worked well

Has all the features I need while matching the rest of my build.

Works well LED lights are a nice touch

-No problems out of the box -great Wi-Fi and Bluetooth -Looks cool -Easy to install

-Plug n play basically -Board is fairly new so bios update is not needed (at the time of this review) -x2 m.2 slots which is nice compared to the b450 t. max -supports a front panel 3.2 USB type c -Wi-Fi 6e (have yet to test its speeds) -Supports plenty of additional storage -New mobo that still has DDR4 memory (easier on the wallet) -2.5G ethernet port is handy :) -GPU slot is sturdy and did not require a gpu support bracket (however, a 2 fan 3060ti is pretty small compared to other cards, so it depends per build)

Great looking board! Cant wait to try it out.

10GB ethernet port is cool.

Everything

-As of October 2024 purchase, it came with BIOS version 3/26/2024. It recognized the Core i3 14100 processor without any issue. Didn't need to put a 12th gen Core processor in to do any BIOS update. -From the above bulletpoint, my box had a "Next Gen CPU Ready" sticker on it probably to indicate it has the updated BIOS version to support 13th and 14th gen Core processors. -Compact size and has Wi-Fi card already included. -High quality -2x ARGB 5v headers for your LED lights -Integrated video output if you don't want to add a dedicated video card. (VGA, Displayport, and HDMI)

Wifi 7, 5G lan, 4 M.2 slots The IO all works at the same time. On older motherboards you'd usually have something like "using the second m.2 slot disables two SATA ports" or something inconvenient like that.

Super high quality, has all the connections and features you would need. More m.2 storage then Ill ever need.

-Everything I've tried has worked. -Rear M.2 is convenient to access (depending on your case) -Nice to have a dedicated temp sensor with a 1ft cable to put wherever you want, like taped to your rad for a rough coolant temp sensor. Can then set fan curves based on that.

Large heatsinks. Heatsink cover for both NVMe drives. Easy tool free install of NVMe drives Large number of USB ports. 1 type C on back plus 1 type C internal. Supports 9800x3D post without bios update (as should all B850 boards) Stable with ram in normal or Expo timings, 32 GB of G.Skill Flare 6000 CL 32. Stable with benchmarks run so far. At first it did not post. But this was quickly fixed with a simple cmos clear via on board jumper.

Improved network speed and wifi. Better slot placement than the PRO 650m A board. The pci slot for expansion cards is full length so I can use a 10G network card and it has an extra PCI-E 8 pin connector for power for PCIE 5 SSD.

Allows 16x pcie 5 in main slot and 4x pcie 4 on second. Perfect if you need extra vram but dont want to sacrifice the makn gou performance or go enthusiast builds.



Looks clean PCI 5 4 m.2 slots, one being fast User friendly overclock ready if you're into that Wifi 7(and it works impressively well) Tool-less m.2 design(only for the m.2 slot directly beneath the CPU Heatsinks are nicely done Plenty of USB's

Clean look and easy BIOS Keeps my 265k boosted as high as other more expensive boards
