Easy to work with

GIGABYTE B850 EAGLE WIFI6E AMD AM5 LGA 1718 Motherboard, ATX, DDR5, 3x M.2, PCIe 5.0, USB-C, WIFI6E, 1GbE LAN, EZ-Latch 5-Year Warranty

Pros: - Wifi has a strong connection to my router around 60ft away and bluetooth works well - The EZ-Plug for the wifi and EZ-Latch for the PCIe and M.2 makes it slightly easier to build - Bios flash button is nice in case you need it - One PCie 5.0 and two PCIe 4.0 M.2 support is great for faster storage - The bios is fairly easy to navigate

Cons: - A second USB-C port on the back panel would be really great to have - 1Ggbps ethernet is ok, but I'd prefer something like 2.5Ggbps ethernet that my old motherboard from 5 years ago supported - No heatsinks for the two PCIE 4.0 M.2 is disappointing. This forces me to purchase separate heatsinks for two of my M.2s

Overall Review: I had zero issues setting my ram to XMP and using Precision Boost Overdrive to undervolt my CPU. Everything was detected on initial boot. The cons I listed aren't exactly deal breaking for me, but rather nice-haves I'd really appreciate. Overall, I like the motherboard.
