I purchased with no reviews on any of the B850 boards as a gamble. But I don't use alot of the same features as others for there mobo use cases. Easy to set memory overclock, wifi antenna works great. Router is 3 rooms away and I can pick up no problem and get 350mps on a 400mps plan. Definitely use it if your using a bluetooth controller, most people forget your antenna is half wifi, half wifi/bluetooth.

Beautiful all-white motherboard Very easy to install components Simple BIOS setup Worked well right outside of the box

It was very easy to setup, the BIOS comes with an easy mode to toggle, has a nice color and sleek design to it.

Works unlike the last terrible Gigabyte motherboard I bought here.

No regrets I was looking forward to it!!

This motherboard ACTUALLY supports 128GB of RAM.

Plenty of fan headers placed in great spots for connecting fans, water cooling pump/radiator, etc. Wi-Fi 7 (For Windows 11 only) GPU quick release lever USB-C Front and Rear suppport Wi-Fi Antennas are slim (a clearance issue with Tower 300) NvME secure posts are clasps built into the board, a nice touch and no worrying about tiny screws being lost NvME Heat Sinks with Thermal Pads


- 2 x 16 gen 4 pcie slots that go directly to the cpu (16x and 4x electrical lanes) - Bifurcation available on the 16x (top) slot - Able to run a 7950x (Supports Ryzen 7000/9000 cpus) - 4x gen 5 m.2 slot (CPU dependent) - supports up to 96 GB ram (Might increase with bios updates and 64 gb dimms) - about 60 seconds ram training with 64 gb ram with current bios ( Jan '24) (you only have to ram train if you set it up that way)

1) 10g nice on board 2) optional IPMI which I am planning to get. 3) Asus cpu enhancement all 24 cores fully under-load at 4.8GHz/ single core 5.2 boot stock out of the box 4) 1TB or Rdimm supported 5) lots of pcie slots for expansion

Back connect Super sleek

-Attractive shroud -3 M.2 slots -Bios was clear and easy to use

Clean design Sleek Built in IO Shield

Worked with my 5800x CPU without a bios update. Fit nicely in my case (Zalman). Easy to connect and insert other components (Memory, CPU cooler, M.2 drive 6600 GPU) Doesn't feel flimsy or fragile. Posted and booted on the first try. The Bluetooth is awesome

Honestly, I purchased this product due to its small form factor and numerous features. Its a bit overkill for what I need but its great. I was worried the HIVE may not have been a good idea but its a niche novelty. The light features during boot allows for quicker troubleshooting(assuming you can remember what each color means without looking it up each time LOL) and ports allow quick input for external usb-based storage and peripherals.

Runs with a 7900x3D on basically 24/7 load but stays cool. VRM's are cool and power draw around 100-110W. Overall ASRock Bios allows everything to be tuned

- Design, I like the all black design and heat spreaders keeping it minimal. - b850, comes with newer features like pcie 5.0, gen 5 storage, and 9000 series support - wifi, always a plus and personally I always prefer the attachable antenna instead of the little tower with a wire some motherboards use - 8 usb on back, more that enough for my peripherals - pcie 16x location, for my specific matx case, I wanted the pcie lane for the gpu to be at its highest so there would not be a extra slot between the cpu cooler and gpu - dual motherboard display output, helped me a lot when I was out a gpu and needed to use my computer with integrated graphics. -Bios, very user friendly, easy to tune ram and cpu

- Good wifi reception even if you don't plug in the antennas - BIOS UI is pleasant to use and offers good control over fan curves - Good linux compatibility - Relatively cheap for having the latest-gen tech

The motherboard is working
