3 MONTH FOLLOW UP - great board!

Pros: Overclocks well but beware, some am5 procs have a heat issue. AMD is limiting this issue through bios AGESA parameters - including xmp and expo ram profiles. Luckily I have not had any problems with the 7600x or the 7900x3d installed on my b650 pg lightning MB. I use ddr5 pc6000 overclocked to 6200. The 7600x was overclocked via ryzen master to a peak of 5.2 Ghz (all cores) without reaching Tj max. The 7900x3d cannot be overclocked via ryzen master. Its temperatures do run a little lower with its peak clock reaching 5.6 Ghz. The MB handles these two processors faultlessly with the appropriate bios.
Cons: with a change of ram or proc, one gets lengthy post/boot times (90 secs) for the first ram count. A little disconcerting.
Overall Review: Great bang for the buck - no frills. Decent price point. Easy bios upgrading. Worked with the am5 7600x and then the 7900x3d processor. Ram is overclockable to a mb set limit of 6200oc. Current build: amd 7900x3d, ddr5 pc6000ram, m.2 drive, 850 watt ps, rx7900xt gpu and a 360 aio. I am happy I bought the ASrock b650 pg lightning MB. It has accepted all my upgrades without any hassles.
useless antenna mounting system

Pros: none. one cannot secure the antennal connection terminals to the card.
Cons: Sell a unit that has factory installed antenna leads - one cannot install them in situ
Overall Review: do not buy.
asrock rx9070 gpu is a marvel

Pros: low noise, low power, low heat, smallish size, not much disco lighting. Excellent 2k performance. with an amd rx7800x3d and a 650e motherboard with 32 gb of 6000mhz ddr5 and a 1tb m.2 sdd 4x4, Time Spy ranks my rig in the top 90%. Free game, Crimson Desert, came bundled with this gpu.
Cons: i cannot get asrock's light control software to function due to the token light bar on the gpu.
Overall Review: I rate this gpu highly and i recommend this gpu for 2k/1440p resolution. It runs the game Crimson Desert at 2k resolution really well, i get 80 to 120 fps at max settings.
great speakers

Pros: Easy to set up lots of connection potential.
Cons: i had to eq these due to the bass response. They are a tad boomy.
Overall Review: great speakers - i have 2 sets of them.
installed in 5 minutes and rocking.

Pros: easy to install post and boot first time no issues plays my games perfectly 165+ fps at 1440p resolution
Cons: none so far
Overall Review: The proc stays cool under load. Out of the box it has not climbed above mid 30's using a 280 AIO. the processor, in conjunction with an rx7800xt gpu, delivers 165+fps at 1440p resolution, no tearing or stuttering. I have the first issue pcie 5 amd motherboard so i opted to put the 7800x3d instead of the 9800x3d. There is no danger of mobo/proc compatibility issues.
Excellent sound qualities

Pros: Easy to set up - has a remote. Excellent sound quality and volume They look good.
Cons: Have issues with bt function but line-in and optical work just fine
Overall Review: I would recommend these speakers. They fill my living room with high quality sound.
excellent speakers
highly recommend. on time delivery no feedback with manufacturer needed so far. i am using them for pc speakers and they are really good.
I live on an island off the BC coast. Deliveries never dissapoint.
Despite my very rural location the delivery of all newegg retailed items has never failed and the delivery times are reasonable given my remote location.
competent and professional
An address confusion was promptly dealt with to my satisfaction.
