- A lot of built in features from USB C to WIFI 7 - Always a fan of the GIGABYTE quality

- BIOS is easy enough to navigate - Comes with a case header plug - Good clearance next to AIO pump hose connections for ram sticks - I/O face plate is built in - 4-year warranty

Just built a new system, been running it for a couple weeks and its working flawlessly. All the features I need, prices fair for a quality board.

It's very easy to install everything into it, and it looks great, has a ton of memory slots, the GPU bracket has a lever that can be used to remove it. RGB lights at the bottom right of it.

Very easy bios update and settings. Be sure to check it you need v1.1 or v1.0 though. Also, overclocking the CPU was very simple as well.

EZ Latch Tons of pcie 4.0 ports dual USB 4.0, backward compatible with thunderbolt 3 extremely easy overclocking wifi 7 5 year warranty

- Fits the white aesthetic well - Has PCI 5.0 slot and gen 5 m.2 slot - Compatible out of the box with 9800X3D - Has a good number of USB 2, gen 3, gen 3.2 ports - WiFi 7 with external antenna is a nice plus - Bluetooth 5.4 - Bios was easy to navigate

Bought this to add 10Gb and USB4 video out. Happy to have discovered that the built-in Radeon capability of the 7900x CPU outputs from both the HDMI port and the USB4 ports by default. Also, I have 4x16Gb of Corsair Vengeance RAM and no issues to report.

Easy to setup Good RAM compatibility Extensive options in UEFI Bios

- I was pretty pleased with my previous MAG X570 Tomahawk motherboard, so the equivalent X870 version was a front-runner when selecting a board for my AM5 build. - Though prices across the board have risen, it seems to have remained in a nice goldilocks position of price-to-features. Though the X670E board was also in contention, I elected to pay a bit more for the newer 5Gbps ethernet (vs 2.5Gbps) and WiFi7 (vs 6E) support. The included wi-fi antenna is magnetic, but the cable isn't that long; regardless, I get a solid signal running catty-corner between the computer and router on different floors. - Honestly, the real deal-maker were the easy PCIe release button and tool-less M2 cover releases. These two areas are some of the more commonly-accessed areas when doing mid-gen upgrades, and Im certain these Quality of Life features will be worth it in the future (ESPECIALLY the GPU release button). While the middle two M2 slots require a screwdriver for the cover/heatsink, the retention mechanism is tool-less and doesnt require dealing with that microscopic M2 screw. I also really appreciate the addition of the numeric error code display and multitude of high speed USB ports. - Personally, I still make use of mechanical HDDs and a BD drive, so its a bit disappointing that SATA port quantities have gone down. This is where having multiple PCIe slots is important for me. Since SATA data transfer speeds are relatively slow, and Im not doing a whole lot of simultaneous reads/writes, the fact that the second PCIe slot only operates at gen 3.0x1 speeds is plenty fine for an aftermarket SATA card. - At the moment, Im leaving the PCIe 5.0 M2 slot unpopulated for a future upgrade, but the OS runs fine off the slower PCIe 4.0 slot. While the stock top M2 cover/heatsink isnt very big, I do wonder if a high-speed PCIe 5.0 drive would do better with a bigger heatsink. At least for now, the stock cover doesnt present any clearance issue if youre using an AM5 offset bracket with a big CPU air cooler, but YMMV (depending on your cooler) as to whether or not you may need to dismount the cooler to get that top M2 slots cover on/off. - I do prefer the updated UEFI BIOSs layout vs the X570 MAG Tomahawks, as there seems to be a bit more friendlier chunking of the organization of options. - Board feels good and hefty and rigid. Seven PWM fan headers along all sides of the perimeter.
