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.
Good combination of features

This board has good specs for the price, PCIe5.0 x16 slot and PCIe5.0 M2 slot being the key features. It also has a good provision of the various types of USB ports, along with the usual sata, wifi6 and 2.5g ethernet options.
The board feels solid, good quality and the colour is nicely understated. It has worked perfectly, so far, no issues at all and has all the features I need for my build. Very happy with the board.
