Perfect AM5 cooler

Pros: No maintenance if you incorporate Thermal Grizzly Kryosheet, standard fans for inexpensive replacement. 78C peak max load temperature on a 7800X3D.
Overall Review: Unbeatable value and effectiveness per dollar.
needed a cheap mobo, got one in more ways than one

Pros: it works at all stock, autodetected settings. it was inexpensive and i could drop in my old CPU it works perfectly at all stock settings. no complaints other than CONS
Cons: it WILL NOT support my CPU going to it's more-than-capable 3.6ghz. i have to run it at 3.2ghz. not a huge problem, but when i get ready to get my new CPU i am tossing this motherboard in the trash. i can't go lower than 3 stars because it has always worked, GIGABYTE has always been good about quality, as far as my purchases of their products are concerned.
Overall Review: if i had a little more money when i was set to purchase this motherboard, i would have gone with one that had better performance.
Great performance

Pros: Does Ray Tracing better than I expected. Already equipped with PTM9075 35% lower power consumption than my previous GPU (ASRock Taichi 7900 XTX) for basically the same performance Temperatures are very good. ASRock could take some notes. Works perfectly in Bazzite KDE on all my games.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: I have recommended this product everywhere I go.
Rotation is stiff

Pros: Has good adjustability and range of motion Plenty strong for my 32" IPS monitor Much better than the original stand for allowing the monitors to get out of the way when access is needed
Cons: Adjustment is stiff, then loose. It has a high force threshold to move the moves too far under that same force Tilt hold is a bit weak compared to the rest of the adjustments. Wobbly. Moves around while I type
Overall Review: If someone has a very rigid desk or doesn't mind things wiggling all the time, sure.
King of AM5 value

Pros: Best power delivery for the money, likely sufficing til 2030 for upgrades, if AMD does as they promised. Fast memory training 30 second reboots (Fastest of any AM5 motherboard) Cold VRMs under any load Great UEFI UI
Cons: No actual cons, but be aware that upgrading the BIOS firmware will require retraining of the DDR5 RAM. This is a DDR5 thing, not a motherboard thing, All DDR5 modules must be "trained" This board just does it faster than any other than i have ever seen, even above some $400 X670E boards!
Overall Review: The go-to motherboard for gaming
Excellent performance

Pros: Great software package, excellent stability, no 12vhpwr fire hazard connector, fastest air cooled RX 7900 XTX available, and the coolest running while doing so.
Overall Review: 4K gaming finally in my grasp!
"Dent and Ding": it had no such defect!
seems their definition of a ding or a dent is pretty sensitive. i didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. the laptop i bought works perfectly, and the missus loves the look!
