Review: Wonderful replacement for my quirky previous board. - I bought this as a replacement for an ASRock X570 Steel Legend that I've had since they first launched back in the summer of 2019. As, it was gradually showing more signs of failure over the time that I had it in my system. First, the onboard audio stopped working. Which, I just switched over to using the audio interface that I had for recording. So, that didn't bother me TOO much. I also was noticing that games were starting to have more and more issues with micro-stutter. I did some tinkering and got it behaving a little better. But, that never fully went away. The final thing that prompted me to look for a replacement was I started having really bad lag issues while playing online games. Yes, legitimate lag. Not the "I missed my shot, the stupid server must be lagging!" type of lag. As, I'm very well aware of and openly recognize how bad I am at competitive games. This is "friend and I are in a car together, friend awkwardly crashes car into a building, I wonder why they did that, then the game suddenly snaps to us being on a completely different street and still moving" level of lag. Quite a frequent occurrence, at that. I tried a list troubleshooting steps. Driver updates for everything, lowering the games' settings, reinstalling the games, cleaning the operating system, reinstalling the operating system, adjusting settings and also resetting the router back to factory defaults, port forwarding, pestering the cable company about connection issues, different ethernet cables, etc. I figured seeing as the motherboard was already having other issues, perhaps it was drying out even further. So, I decided to start looking for replacement options. Which, being that the 7000 series processors had been out for a while, I knew that my options would be slimmer than before. At least for a NEW board. Also, pricing may not be ideal. But, reading a bunch of reviews and doing comparisons, this particular board sounded like it would be a solid choice without having to spend a lot more for the available higher end boards. I had mixed feelings about "stepping down" a notch to the B550 chipset. But, upon further consideration and reading, the performance difference was minimal. Plus, I didn't use enough of the extra features that X570 had over B550 to really be concerned about that. So, I went ahead and grabbed it. Yeah, it was a great decision to grab this board! Though there are still occasional lag quirks (which, is to be expected, honestly), there was a HUGE improvement in connection stability with games. Plus, games and the system overall feel notably smoother than before. Far less micro-stutter and things just feel more responsive, as a whole. Oh, and I have onboard sound back. Which, is cool too! But, yeah, I am VERY happy with this board! Everything about it seems to work great! And, I can't think of any major complaints. Maybe that the UEFI menu feels a little messy to navigate. But, that could just be a familiarity thing. Also, I don't use any of the "software suite" stuff that often comes with motherboards. That's just unnecessary bloat, to me. So, I can't comment on any of that stuff. I was worried that I was getting a step down from my previous board. But, that was not at all the case. A very solid choice for anyone that plays demanding games, does content creation, and/or software/game development.
Review: Works perfect with Win11 and 2.5gb networking! - Swapped out a dying MSI MEG ACE motherboard, and everything booted up perfectly. Updated the bios, enabled XMP support w/1.35v on my 32GB kit, moved over my two NVME drives and booted right up. Nice and fast! I picked this board for it's 2.5Gb lan, which I'm using.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do you get WiFi to this motherboard**
A: Buy a WiFi PCIe Card! You can buy a wifi 6 card for between twenty and forty bucks and they take minutes to fit. If you don't need an ultra-fast and capable wifi connection you can also buy a wifi dongle that plugs into a spare USB port (preferably a USB 3.0 port) however I'd strongly recommend a PCIe plug-in card.

**Q: Will this support Ryzen 7 3700x out of the box?**
A: Yes it does finished my build with it yesterday

**Q: Can it support mvme ssd?**
A: It has support for two NVMe devices although only the first supports PCIe 4. The second supports PCIe 3. I use both slots with each having a capacity of 1tb. Either slot can support both PCIe 3 and 4 devices but you only get the fastest performance matching a PCIe 4 drive to the first slot. The X570 motherboard offers 2 slots and both are PCIe 4 capable.

**Q: Does this mobo fit a musetex phantom atx mid tower case?**
A: That depends on whether the Phantom ATX mid tower case can
accommodate a motherboard with the dimensions 12 in. x 9.6 in.
(30.5 cm x 24.4 cm).
