The motherboard exudes quality. Clear layout, solid VRMs, comprehensive BIOS that's easy to learn. Installation of the DDR5 DIMMs is trouble-free, and there's no instability. The Wi-Fi is excellent and the number of connectors more than adequate. The Flash BIOS is a real convenience.
An excellent choice for a high-performance, upgradeable AM5 setup.
I chose this graphics card because it had built-in wifi and Bluetooth, which allows me to share documents from my PC to my phone without having to run after a cable. As I don't have internet at the moment (thanks SFR) I use my phone as a modem, and as this motherboard has an integrated wifi card I can finally do without a wifi key that worked 1 time out of 2.
Opinion: very solid motherboard: robust VRM, clear BIOS, full connectivity (integrated Wi-Fi + 2.5 GbE, M.2 well served).
Room for improvement: some of the factory BIOSes are old - think about updating.
Tuning tip: activate EXPO for RAM 6000, update BIOS (recent AGESA), Resizable BAR activated, and possibly PBO + Curve Optimizer (negative) to improve performance/efficiency.
The graphics card was not recognised, only the one built into the CPU AMD Ryzen 7800X3D worked.
The motherboard bios was dated 25/1/2016, which is abnormal for a recent motherboard. So I did a first update and then a 2nd (latest version). Everything now works very well. Super fast start-up and shutdown.
Top service! The product works without a hitch and delivery to French overseas departments and territories is trouble-free.
