-Robust VRM -POST Code -Multiple USB4 ports -Overclocking performance, especially for memory
ASRock continues to be my favorite motherboard manufacturer and really packs tons of value into their boards. I paired this board with a 7800X3D, 64GB of G.Skill DDR5 6000, and an MSI 4090 and it's just a dream machine. The memory wasn't on the QVL but it functions just fine after selecting the appropriate DRAM Profile in the BIOS. The included heatsink for the fast M.2 slot was left unused as my drive came with a heatsink.

This review is for the GIGABYTE B650M GAMING PLUS WIFI Good Price XMP worked flawlessly Cloned boot SSD from an AM4 Ryzen 5 1600 system booted after a boot repair, with a little work system was up and running as before but on an AM5 mobo with an 8400F Even with a janked old 1050 video card I was getting reasonable Passmark scores.

Lots of lipstick on this pig, me, I messed up the installation and now have figured out the issue on my end.
Plenty of slots for NVME drives A real premium feel that can be felt when handling the board quick easy mounting NVME drives Quality heatsinks for NVMEs and VRMs Simple bios for new builders and more in depth for veterans and some fun leds that can be disabled in the bios beautifully design and looks great in white build
- Inexpensive. - Good expansion options. - CPU-less BIOS flashing option. - CMOS battery is not blocked by the graphics card. It's surprisingly hard to find a motherboard that does that.
Came with UEFI and Secure Boot enabled, which was a pleasant surprise. The BIOS was only a few months old so I haven't even bothered to consider updating. Everything worked first time as expected
Stable power supply for CPU and RAM overlock
Good looking motherboard Great BIOS UI
-it works great with 9800x3d -In general very quality board, feel very solid -Like the design, good looking in my opinion -USB slots are plenty and they marked with the speed! Very detailed work. -Bios, easy to navigate the use
Good value while also maintaining quality and a rich set of features Tool-less M.2 slots makes M.2 drive installation very easy and seamless, along with GPU quick release Integrated heat shields/sinks for the VRM's and M.2 Drives Boots with a 9900X CPU without having to update the BIOS Supports PCIE5, USB4, AMD EXPO for RAM Overclock
I got this on a deal, turned out to be a solid Little mobo. I'm using for a little home server behind the tv. Started up on the first try, and have had zero problems since.
Super high quality, has all the connections and features you would need. More m.2 storage then Ill ever need.
After installing drivers and upgrading windows 11 the system is so much faster and smoother than my 10th gen cpu z590 asus board that would turn on. The major pros is great price with cheapest 14th gen i5 cpu and runs all my old ram and has wifi for under $100.
I like that it has enough Fan and Fanopt headers to run an AIO (Im using a fan hub to run the rest of my case fans). I like that it has two NVME slots. and it looks cool.

3 tool-less NVMe slots, 4 SATA, upgraded audio (ALC1220), and overall looks great!
The options of components that you can put on this motherboard without worrying about taxing it are great. We're testing games that have not yet been optimized so will be putting it through the paces but it's more than capable to build a great system. Having visual post errors helps. The USB4 is great for running a full frame camera for presentations.
Pros are the blue tooth and wireless built in. They board also allows flexibility in storge types
Looks, overclocking capability, diagnostics LED
