Very interesting MB, with some interesting features...

Pros: Specificially designed to work with the X3d Processor line 5gb Lan, Wifi 7 4 NVME SSD drives 2 @ gen 5 4 Sata drives FAST!!!! Has settings for both EXP and AMP memory
Cons: Even though it's designed for the X3D Processors it's locked up on me twice using the Extreme Performance and Gaming overclock settings. There's a built in feature which (I believe) Overclocks the cpu settings. I say this because the overlay in my game shows faster CPU speeds with these settings. I did the Q-flash of the bios before ever putting in the cpu or memory, and it failed. However it failed. IT did still boot up with the 9800X3D without updating the bios. I still need to update the bios and see if that resolves the overclocking issues.
Overall Review: Jury is out. I need to see if the bios update resolves the locking up issue.. I don't generally overclock, but I was intrigued by the performances options. All in all it's a very good motherboard, I'm overall very happy with it. There are just a few things that make it less than stellar.
Great Card excellent value

Pros: Upgrading from a Radeon 5770, this is like night and day! I thought the 5770 was still doing well, but I couldn't pass up this deal (got it for 199). After installing and updating drivers, went into Tomb Raider, cranked the graphics to ultra and it was like watching a movie! The Game plays and looks like the cut scenes. It's unreal!
Cons: None!
Overall Review: Will probably buy another when I have extra cash.
