Bought this to add 10Gb and USB4 video out. Happy to have discovered that the built-in Radeon capability of the 7900x CPU outputs from both the HDMI port and the USB4 ports by default. Also, I have 4x16Gb of Corsair Vengeance RAM and no issues to report.
Nice board. Will need time to see if it is really good. But first impression is good. And the price was lower than I expected for A new release. Impressed with the rigidity of this board. Very well made.
Built this around the Ryzen 9 9900X CPU with 32 GB of ram. Like the manual states that when you first booting up it takes about 3 min. for the debug in the BIOS to recognize the hardware and works great. Very Pleased.
- Worked with 5700G right out of the box - BIOS by default will switch between IGP and PEG if one does not work. I booted first with the IGP and then installed a GPU after and it still got it right, saving a lot of hassle. - XMP profile on my ram worked first try - Lots of voltage options I have to look up before trying to undervolt my CPU
Installed without issue, most instructions were only online but they were informative.
Pairing this board with Ryzen 7 9800X3D and RX 7900 XTX and (2x32) 64GB RAM, I'm getting a mind blowing performance in both gaming and productivity work loads like 3D rendering and modeling video/photo editing, OBS streaming/endcoding etc... and the system is super stable ! Definitely this is the Best Mini ITX board, I love it !
This case is spacious and clean looking with plenty of areas for routing cables. Also, some might view this as a con, but the case headers are all in one neat cable rather than the normal finnicky configuration that most cases have.
It seems to be thoughfully laid out and with a good feature set. It installed without incident, and has worked well. Heat sinks for the 2 m.2 slots are a plus. VRM's are nicely designed and stay cool. There is the PCI-e 4.0, which I don't actually have a use for, but it is there if I need it later.
- 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
Easy set up and install. Nice that it has built in overclocking if you want Supports higher RAM
Plenty of m.2 slots for matx Plenty of fan and argb headers Looks really good for the price point
The BIOS needed to be flashed before my AM5 processor would be recognized, but flashing the BIOS via ASRock's BIOS flashback tool was fairly straightforward and went off without a hitch.
Very easy to set up, manuals are all online for reference. Very intuitive, lots of options.
Nice layout Easy bios flash Booted right away with 9800x3d PCIE 5.0 2 ssd spots with no PCIE 5.0 interference
- you have everything you need and even more in the box - BIOS is great - Looks are great - Heavy and very sturdy.
