ROG Beast_Mode activated

Pros: 5 NVMe support, 18+2 power phases, passive cooling through a massive heatsink, No screw required NVMe installation. Bigger 2 Oled display centralized for better view.
Cons: Nothing absolutely nothing.
Overall Review: This thing is massive, is packed with every single feature available by ASUS, blazing fast LAN ports (required driver installation) superb audio driver and software. I utilized absolutely everything that was included, even the screw driver is of superb premium fabrication. It keeps my 5900x at 4.8 all cores very stable. The RGB lights although beautiful, are barely noticeable in my specific build due to loads of corsair QL fans. Please do not use the bios flashback option, it tends to misfire and will brick your board. For cooler cpu operarions you should activate Precision Boost Overdrive.
Great value for performance

Pros: Elegant style and sturdy aluminum construction, fast speeds and low latency, paired to a holiday season pricing picking them up for just $83 while performing at par with my dominator titanium its just unbelievable, but true, it uses Hynix chips instead of samsung so compatibility with older chips may be an issue but yeah, this things work awesome.
Cons: Make it cheaper lol
Overall Review: Dont waste money on CL36 or LED, get this instead and spend elsewhere.
Awesome inexpensive little board

Pros: Runs every single cpu amd has to offer out of the box, web support is superb and easy to access, runs my expo profiles with ease. Performance comparable to a $210 board.
Cons: Nothing
Overall Review: Awesome little guy to get you going, lets face it, this is the A620 chipset so overclocking is limited and being an ITX board kinda makes sense. Dont waste money on your board and expend it on your cpu and graphics. This thing will run your 7800x3d and 9800x3d outta box with no issues and theres even a beta bios to overclock the 9800x3d if you must void warranties lol. I recommend this ASRock board.
Awesome little case

Pros: Building is a breeze, only second to corsairs itx case which is larger in size. Loved how every single panel was detachable and no tools were needed for that. Motherboard and cable routing was super easy as everything is pre-routed, only thing to look for is the separate fan heathers for both the aio pump and included fans.
Cons: It does not fit the XFX RX 7900XT MERC 310. This was already addressed in the V2 revision but a simple mod fixes the issue.
Overall Review: This is highly recommended for small office spaces or apartment units, the gunmetal color makes it not to stand out at all and helps it blend with the environment. Every single detail was considered when choosing cable length and routing options, designed with a turn-key scenario and it delivers. Overall a great build experience but, gpu length is a thing to consider, the V2 revision already fixed the issues but for the non-holiday price the regular 200p is a better choice.
Awesome performance gains

Pros: Super simple to setup AMD Expo profiles. Comes already out the box with a 6200 profile also and low CL class either 30 at 6000 or 32 at 6200. No boot up issues or blue screens or weird memory loss conflicts.
Overall Review: I recommend this ram for the easy of build and the guaranteed boot success, specially for the AM5 platform and how long it may take for some boards to complete the initial ram check on first boot. Awesome performance, reliability and versatility.
Awesome little board, inconvenient cable management

Pros: The board is super compact without compromise, the build quality its amazing and working within the bios is easy. No update was required for it to recognize my 7800X3D outta box and I got somehow the version 1.0 in 2024 but oh well.
Cons: The usb 2.0 dongle is right on top of the pci-e port so it makes installing the graphics card unnecessarily difficult.
Overall Review: Overall its a nice little board, very expensive but then again, it offers the most out of the rest. If you already own an Aorus monitor, you can integrate it using the gigabyte environment control center.
