Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 April 2023
Luckily there are lots of options when it comes to buying a new AM5 motherboard and I spent plenty of research time understanding features, vendor "state of updates" and best fit for my needs. This model came out on top mainly due to the way it allocates the cpu lanes a bit differently to others - using extra PCI slots doesnt take away the cpu lanes for drives but just usb instead. Also i only typically upgrade my PC every 10 years so wanted to spend extra to future-proof myself. Yes would have been nice to have usb4 but on balance i doubt i will use a usb4 external drive in the future, especially as this comes with more than normal ssd slots and i could always get a usb4 pci card if needed. The setup and bios are very easy and hardware feels very solid and sturdy. Nice positioning of ports and looks cool/shiny. Overall I'm a happy dragon!
