- Good B550 motherboard. Nicely laid out. - No problems adding a pair of m.2 ssd's - Booted first time
- It was what I ordered - CPU fits as intended - Size is sized - 100% ITX sized - Probably size comparable to a banana
Great board looks excellent in a white case lots of USB. plenty of fan headers in convenient location and well labeled The xmp profile for my DDR5 6000 worked flawlessly
- 3 m.2 slots - ez connect front case cable holder
Works unlike the last terrible Gigabyte motherboard I bought here.
easy install with user friendly instruction product seems durable and thoughful design.| loving the white and black color extra for matching with my case
It was very easy to setup, the BIOS comes with an easy mode to toggle, has a nice color and sleek design to it.
-Butter zone of price to features (at least if you're not planning on deep overclocking) -The toolless NVMe latches were a great surprise for me. This is my first MoBo with them and not having to worry about dropping those tiny screws was great. -All drivers except WiFi and Bluetooth were auto installed by Windows making the initial OS setup a breeze.
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.
- Price - Its X870 with pci-e 5.0 - Its has wifi - BIOS falshback - Matches my ASUS PRIME 5070 ti.
New DDR5 AMD micro ATX finally after a long wait! The board only has status LEDs not color changing LEDs in the PCB like older Tuf boards A nice sticker pack like it's a transformer computer. I used the stickers for the case. Uefi bios is still easy to navigate.
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
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.

Small and works good Bios flashback was a nice Its a motherboard
Decent VRM setup to for Ryzen 9000 processors, PCIe 5.0 support for a graphics card and a M.2 drive, dual USB4 ports, and PCIe EZ-Latch Plus.
Has a nice fan for the NVME supported my slim cpu cooler supported 6400mhz with just applying XMP from bios
Here are some of the positives: new, fresh technology smell of perchlorates? maybe not now, teamed 8-Phase VRM, x16 (x8), x4, x2 PCIe Gen 4 (relative to AMD R7 8700G "flagship APU"), USB4 (like Firewire), WIFI7 320MHz, X870E ("full" connectivity with 8700G from only X870E with 2nd chipset), NVME is easy to install while inside case--just remove GPU or not--turn, lift, place, or press, and Post Code DEBUG Multiplexer-DeMultiplexer (I never had one before; I just relied on the speaker chirps or LEDs).
