Great Little Motherboard works well!Coming from a top of the range Asus M/B I thought this would be disappointing but it's not other than wish i had got the wifi version!6 Layer PCB,Good VRM's,Bios Curve Optimizer,Undervolt Control plus loads more whats not to Like?Asrock have been around a very long time and have Produced some good M/B'S over the years!CCL Great provider of Tech at Great Prices1

The motherboard has many features and appears well made.The value for money with AM5 motherboards is currently a little skewed, however that is somewhat to be expected with a new platform.

Decent motherboard

Good boot time , around 30 seconds far better than my previous MSIThe downside is a coil whine , mostly in demanding games Cyberpunk,Warzone 2 etc .I would recommend it .Great job for Scan with delivery timing .

Giant stickers on the motherboard and poor BIOS options

I bought this mobo wanting a new mobo to support next gen CPU's. This one was the cheapest, but at still expensive compared to older mobos so figured it would be fine.Well, I was unimpressed when it arrived. The RAM slots had a giant sticker on them detailing how to install the RAM. Useful right? Well yes, but removing the sticker left paper residue all over the RAM slots. I'm not talking just a little, it left so much that I was concerned it would cause issues. They clearly used a very cheap paper sticker, this problem would have been a non-issue if they had used just a slightly more premium sticker that wasn't paper based.Secondly, the BIOS options are poor. There is no option for a %offset for CPU voltage, so you can only statically overclock your CPU, which ... MoreI bought this mobo wanting a new mobo to support next gen CPU's.

There is no option for a %offset for CPU voltage, so you can only statically overclock your CPU, which means it will ALWAYS run at the assigned frequency.Thirdly, the compatibility with 5600mhz RAM is poor. There is no XMP option, only profiles based on what MHZ you want to run the RAM, I chose the 5600 one which also changes all the other required settings when changing RAM frequencies and it causes crashes during all games and benchmarks. I had to set it to the 4800mhz profile, which is now stable. My RAM was advertised as 5600mhz so I'm not impressed.The good is that outside of the above, it runs fine... So it's definitely an 'Okay' product, but if I could do it over again I would avoid this manufacturer entirely.

Good board with some problems.

I got this motherboard from Scan looking for an AM5 board and based on the reviews I had seen, the board seemed decent. However, when I first tried to boot up the board, I couldn't get a signal to my monitor and I tried various different things e.g. change RAM around, tried different gpus etc but no luck. In the end I sent it back and Scan found the board had a bent pin (not sure if this was damage by myself or just faulty out of the box) and they repaired it for me and thankfully the board now boots up with no issues.As for the board itself, it runs very well and get decent temps, boots in quite fast and seems good for games so far (only played Elden Ring so far but will try some other games out soon). My Ryzen 7600x runs pretty hot however but I managed to apply ... MoreI got this motherboard from Scan looking for an AM5 board and based on the reviews I had seen, the board seemed decent.

My Ryzen 7600x runs pretty hot however but I managed to apply an undervolt to reduce the temps and applying the change in the BIOS wasn't too difficult (select CPU voltage config and ensure offset is selected to change the voltage values). I was aware of some coil whine but it was pretty minor and mainly when just booting in and normal operation the board is pretty quiet and way better than an Aorus B650 board I returned which had horrible coil whine by comparison.So, good board albeit I did have some problems getting it to work initially and the board manual isn't the best or easiest to read either but SCAN did a great job in their customer service in repairing the board for me and it works fine, which is all you can ask for in the end.

Great MATX board, just get the latest BIOS

I bought this to go into a compact, semi-budget gaming setup. It hasn't disappointed. First thing to do is to download the latest bios from the ASRock website. There are needed fixes in the mid numbered versions of the BIOS that affect things like being unable to reboot and general stability fixes. I run this with a 7700x and a RX 6750 XT video card.This has been a great setup. For those of you that like the RGB, this board is really flexible and can control just about anything. I like the LED under the heat spreader on the chipset. Unfortunately that is mostly invisible with a 3 fan video card that extends over the heat spreader.You can't go wrong with this board. It just works and does it without a hassle.

Great board!

Good:- GPU in the top slot, where it should be! I was working in a Jonsbo D30, and any board with a second-slot GPU resulted in my GPU hitting the bottom case fans. Not a problem here!- Simple and easy to navigate BIOS with RGB control.- Adequate I/O, see second con.- No bloatware or over the top styling. Looking at you, ASUS.- Integrated I/O shield. This is one of my favorite advances in motherboard design in recent years.Bad:- The 4-pin CPU power connector is on the wrong side of the 8-pin, meaning if your PSU gives you a pair of 4+4 connectors you have to "split" one of them and find a home for the unused 4 pins.- Only 3 of the USB type A's on the back are USB 3. On my last board (ASUS X570-E Strix), all of the type A's were USB 3 which meant you didn't ... MoreGood:- GPU in the top slot, where it should be!

On my last board (ASUS X570-E Strix), all of the type A's were USB 3 which meant you didn't have to think about where you plug stuff in.I normally go with ASUS, but between Armory Crate being utter garbage and their refusal to make a decent board with the GPU in the top slot I decided to give ASRock a shot. Glad I did! You won't be disappointed!

Nice layout, but graphics adapter didn't work

Overall a nice form factor and layout for a Micro ATX AM5 board. Unfortunately I had display problems from the beginning. New copy of Windows 11, updated drivers for Windows, CPU, and BIOS. But display would always be stuck at 1024x768, couldn't use my 1080p display's full resolution. It would occasionally work briefly but then screen would go black and back to low res. I was using the Ryzen 7000 series integrated graphics. Replaced this with a different mobo and instantly dual monitors work at full resolution, so CPU isn't the problem.If the graphics had worked I would have been happy, the layout of the board is good for fitting a bottom case fan, and it came w/ all the accessories needed and a M.2 heatsink.

good motherboard

Good motherboard, really like inbuild backplate, shame it is not the wifi version.
