DON'T BUY THIS BOARD.

ASRock X570M PRO4 AM4 AMD X570 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Small form factor. Decent I/O.

Cons: Will boot-loop on you in a short amount of time with no discernible reason; good luck getting any aid from the manual or the manufacturer themselves.

Overall Review: I have gone through the ringer on this board. Ryzen 9 3950X 2070 RTX Super Founder's Edition G.Skill Trident Z Neo Series RGB 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-3600 Samsung 970 M2 nvme 500GB Win10 Samsung 860 EVO 500GB Ubuntu 18.4LTS 850W Platinum Modular Power Supply from Fractal Design Everything was going fine for about a week. Then the warning LEDs on "Boot" and "VGA" come on. And now the board appears to be boot-looping, not able to boot into either operating system. I'm fortunate to own enough computers to individually test out every piece of my build in order to isolate variables to the problem. All to no avail besides the board itself. I have, so far: - Tested the GPU with a different board (it worked, no problems) - Tested the CPU with a different board (it worked, no problems) - Tried to unplug everything and just turn on the computer with only the CPU in play (no splash screen, no video signal through HDMI or Displayport) - Tested my NVME drive with a different computer (readable, no problems) - Tested my SSDs with other computers (they're also readable, no problems) I'm at my wit's end. I need to RMA this board. I'm out of other options. BE WARNED: I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO THE OTHER REVIEWERS. THIS BOARD WILL DRAIN YOU OF EVERYTHING WHILE TRYING TO TROUBLE SHOOT. Furthermore, ASRock, so far, have been completely unresponsive to me. Just to add some more flavor to this @#$% sandwich. Go with ANY of the other brands. VERY disappointed. Would not recommend.-
