Huge Step Up

Overall Review: This is my first Ryzen processor and my first modern CPU in decades - the sale price at Christmas was too good to ignore. I've been running 10+ year old computers with Intel 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Gen processors. This Ryzen 5500 is such a huge step up in performance for me that is really needed for the gaming the video editing that I like to do.
Looks good. Runs well.

Overall Review: I haven't had time to play the game yet. I just wanted to rate it 5 (eggs?) because it was free with my Ryzen processor. Can't complain about if I didn't have to pay for it!
Great Functionality

Overall Review: This really is a fantastic motherboard with a lot of options, lots of fan headers and a decent BIOS. The only (mild) let down for me is ASRock's RGB software and presets - they're really terrible. Honestly, I feel that the RGB controllers that come with the cheap Chinese fans have better presets and adjustable controls. However, that is all actually a software issue and doesn't affect how the motherboard works.
Works as it should

Overall Review: My first NVMe drive. I like the compact nature of it and no cables. Pretty cool. Good price for this much capacity and performance.
