Do NOT buy this motherboard

On my 2nd Motherboard as the first one was replaced via RMA.
I've had issues from the get-go with this motherboard, constant crashes out of nowhere, lights flickering on the motherboard like it's failing. I've replaced the CPU, I'm on my 3rd set of RAM from a 3rd manufacturer (Corsair, Gskill and now Kingston) nothing works.
Just rebuilt the machine from scratch today with the new motherboard and it's doing the exact same thing the last one did, it's completely unusable. Maybe it's just my bad luck but this motherboard is absolute trash. Save yourself the headache and get something from another manufacturer

Pros:
-8-layer PCB with one PCIe Gen5 M2 and GPU slot
-Good PCIe slot layout. Secondary x16 slot can still be used with a big GPU installed.
-Good networking (Intel 2.5G Ethernet, WiFi 6E with a good antenna)
-Good front audio jack with Savitech amp, rear audio jack is also good with ALC4080 chip
-Variety of USB ports
-BIOS flashback button (would recommend updating BIOS to latest version before first use)
-Unbuffered ECC RAM support
Cons:
-Chipset gets hotter than I'd like
-Cannot use third M.2 and secondary x16 slot simultaneously but glad the user can decide which to use
-Missing S/PDIF digital audio out port
-Duplicate "Precision Boost Overdrive" settings in BIOS (located in both Ai Tweaker and Advanced/AMD Overclocking)
All that is needed for a solid gaming board

Great performance and feature set for a motherboard in this price range, first AMD build in a long while and it was effortless with this board pairing a 7800X3D with DDR5 6000 CL30, wifi gives excellent coverage too plus you can use all 3 m.2 slots with no interference or losing anything in the process.
