Been running this motherboard for 9 months at this point with my Ryzen 5 9600x paired with a 9070XT Steel Legend. Has been working amazingly.
The board looks amazing and fits my cards color perfectly, (i sure hope so considering they are both steel legend lol) the included RGB strip in the board is very bright and in an area where RGB isn't normally in the system, adding a nice flair when paired with other RGB components.
The IO is incredible. So many USB ports you dont know what to do with them. More than enough Ethernet speeds and the newer USB ports are quite nice.
4 M.2 slots is absurd. One might be a little weird, but 3 is still amazing! (Do some research on that) The Gen 5.0 M.2 slot has a quick release mechanism, with a added heat sink which is a nice touch. The 16x PCIE slot also has a quick release mechanism which feels good.
Perfect amount of ARGB ports, located in good places.
Manual makes finding necessary connectors easy.
All around good board!
**ONLY THING TO KEEP IN MIND BEFORE BUYING** If you are paring this with a 9000 series Ryzen CPU, you will need to update your motherboards BIOS to a newer version, as in rare cases the CPU (primarily XD3 CPUS) would fry, also killing the board. Don't let this scare you! It's supposedly fixed with new versions. I updated day 1 of owning this and it's been running amazingly for 9 months like I said! (This is the reason for the 4/5 instead of 5/5)
