4 - m.2 slots that can all be used without reducing pciex16 slot to x8 So far super stable out of the box with non qvl ram, Just enable expo and go. No rgb if you prefer that Plenty of headers, fans, front usb3, rgb etc Has 3 temp probes which is cool

I purchased this to use in a Ryzen 9800X3D build in a Lian Li A4 H20 build-Fantastic value. At the time of purchase, there weren't any other options in the same price bracket. I also wanted to sidestep potential compatibility issues with some PCIe riser cables you're likely to find in ITX cases and was warned about Gigabyte boards. I also saw some reports that Gigabyte boards were not compatible with the Silicon Power DDR5 6000MHZ memory kit I used. I am pretty jazzed with the DP Alt over USB C on the rear I/O. The drawing display I use for digital art can now be connected with a single cable, rather than two separate DP and USB cables. It is nice to see this becoming more widely available outside of laptops.

-reasonable cost -two m.2 slots -form factor -IPMI

Even if I wasn't building a white PC build, I probably would have still bought this board. It's one of the few boards out there to have a PCIe 5.0x16 GPU slot (Slot 1) that doesn't lane share with anything else, so your GPU will always run at max performance at x16! Even the X870E Carbon lane shares with PCIe Slot 1 and M.2_2 and it's more expensive. This was a no brainer. Definitely one of the best motherboards you can get with all of the modern features and is fairly future proof.

Easy installation, clear labels

Appearance, power and premium build quality just on another level!

- High-end IPMI + dual 25gb LAN = great value at $450. - Multitude of BIOS configuration options. - 1-week burn-in went well.

Did someone say USB?! If you run a VR or sim racing rig and need lots of USB ports, this board is the one for you. You get 14 USB ports just on the rear panel, with USB 2.0, 3.1 and 3.2 front panel connectors for even more. The top PCIe slot is gen 5, so it will support any new GPU upgrades for a long time. VRM is very strong too, so it should be able to handle a 9950X without a sweat. It handles my overclocked 7700 just fine. On board audio is also a nice spec but you probably already have an audio interface if you're getting a board like this. All NVME slots area tool-less style, but you still need to unscrew the heatsink for slots 2 and 3. The top NVME slot has cooling pads on both sides so it should be able to cool gen5 SSDs decently well. I don't have a gen5 drive so I can't test this.

everything works great

IPMI alone has to be the biggest feature! Board looks built to last decades
