Works great with the 9800x3d
Why did I pick this? I was intrigued by this so I bought it. Sure, its pricier than most pastes. There is a thick plastic side and a thin plastic side. I cut the piece to size and used a sharp utility knife to pre-peal the thin plastic side and fold the corner. I wiped the die with the enclosed alcohol pad, pealed the thick plastic side, centered the pad, used the spatula to press it down and then grabbed the pre-folded edge of the thin plastic to remove. It wasnt too bad. I dont know if it works better as I have not compared it to regular thermal paste but I am satisfied that I got an appropriate amount between the CPU and the cooler.
Everything in the manual was clear to read and understand Made setting up the motherboard and troubleshooting very straight forward. I used to have a asus intel motherboard but loving the am5 as rock motherboard. The WiFi 6 and Bluetooth works great so far. I have WiFi 6 router and having much faster download speeds than my prior pc. The Bluetooth works well with my Xbox controller and speakers so far. Did a mid range build with ryzen 5 7600x, 32gb ram, rx 7800xt gpu, using just an air cooler fan for cpu, got a m.2 nvme gen 4.
The Asrock B650M Pro RS beats a lot of high-end Gigabyte and MSI boards when it comes to features. It is really worth considering if you are upgrading to the AM5 platform, I was a bit hesitant since I haven't bought any Asrock products for over 15 years now, but I didn't regret buying this board and their bios seem equivalent to many big brands and doesn't miss out in overclocking features.
