- no PCIe lane sharing as long as your not planning to use 40 Gbps USB4 ports - debug code on motherboard is pretty handy - almost complete I/O - pretty clean white design - Pretty

Easy to install and VRM heatsinks not overly big

The board is very, very well designed with great features, including wifi 7 and good heat sinks for overclocking.

Very good motherboard, quality and price!

Disclaimer: This review for ASRock review rebate program. - Inclusion of the m.2 for wifi and the built in bracket at the top, great add. - 2x m.2 support for nvme ssds. - great to have multiple fan headers for this price bracket - sensible primary x16 slot placement

-Compatibility: With AM5 -Price: I got mine with a large discount because of a promo but at its current price still seems like a good deal -Easy to install: Didn't take me too long to set it all up in my computer -Appearance: My build isn't full white, but I really like the color and its contrast to the build

- 3x M.2+ Tool-less install - Good connectivity options - Clean and professional look - Fan Control was well thought out - RGB sync'd up fine using the supplied software - VRMs ran cool

- This was the least expensive X870 motherboard and also let me order perpetually out-of-stock AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D - Easy install and setup - Does everything that I need

I cannot recommend this board enough. The color is amazing, so complimentary to an all white build. Bonus points to the PCIe EZ-Latch plus feature to remove your GPU effortlessly. ALL boards should make this a standard these days. Wifi built into the board is an appreciated bonus (not use to this, had an old G7-gaming mobo and installed a wifi adapter to the board before this) and the unique antenna is a nice feature that I use since ethernet isn't an option.

- Motherboard very well made, heavy. - Previous Gen Dark Hero does not compare quality wise - Bios is simple to use and RGB control is great addition - Separate GPU lanes make it unbeatable

- High-quality heatsinks, - Reinforced PCIe slots - Super fast internet with Wifi 7 / 2.5Gbe LAN - Easy Install - Lots of USB ports


Seems ROCK SOLID. While it's a dedicated Flight Sim, still in the process of setting it all up for MSFS2020/24 and DCS WORLD. It has a FABULOUS BIOS setup in UEFI.

- Ease of use - BIOS software - Amount of USB CONNECTIONS, FAN Headers


Works great.

Easy bios for kids No longer eatx Does 8000 stable ddr5 -vsoc 1.1 vddio 1.45 fclk 2000 Easy

- Love the Aesthetics, and heat sinks - sturdy, well built motherboard. - Armored graphics card pci-e 5.0 slot with locking mechanism - 5gbs ethernet port, wifi 7 - lots of pci-e slots for additional SSD's

-comes with bios revision f2, just go ahead and flash bios f10 or f11 right away or the 5600x will not install Windows If you get formatting errors on windows install: -turn on CSM for legacy hardware to install Windows on a basic partition HDD/SSD or turn it off for GPT partition drive installs. I went with GPT on NVME for faster boot times. The motherboard itself is a beauty. Well built. Got a clean look. Overclocks well. I got the memory to OC to 3600mhz with ease in 20 seconds. Price is good. They did away with the phase doublers because they were not necessary. So don't worry about that. Asus has been doing that for ages. WiFi is really good. I use an AC router and the AX dongle on the board goes to 9ms ping and 250mbps Download which is all I pay for but I'm sure it goes much higher if i do a local file transfer. Works great with the 5600x real snappy vs my old b350 and r7 1700

Everything just works perfectly the way i want it to. It has all the ports i desire and much more for expansion later.
