Everything worked without effort when assembling my new computer. Running with a 7950X3D, 64 GB RAM, MSI Gaming Trio 4090 and various NVME and non-NVME SSDs.EXPO memory configuration worked without effort or problem, despite the problems some motherboards have.BIOS flashing was quick and painless, though a note for buyers that when a BIOS flash is started the machine reboots and goes back into the BIOS to do the flash, which surprised me. I thought the flashing procedure 'crashed'.Serviceable network and sound.One minor missing feature is it does not come with a pair of status LED characters to show specific boot states during boot, but rather a set of 4 single LEDs to indicate where the board is in the boot state, and any problems. Less details, for sure, but only a problem if you have a problem.First boot takes a while, because of memory training, but successive boots can be fast if fast boot is enabled (and future AGESA updates should improve that). This is not unique to this motherboard, but rather all Ryzen 7000 series motherboards.

Fonctionne correctement. BIOS complet et bonne compatibilité RAM. Avec 2x16GB le memory training se fait en quelques dizaines de secondes, pas plus.Attention, ne faites pas comme moi, lisez le manuel et pretez attention à la position des slots RAM. Avec 2 sticks il faut utiliser A2 et B2 - si jamais la carte mère est bloqué sur le training avec 2 sticks lorsque EXPO est activé, c'est probablement ça.Si je devais donner un point négatif: très, très léger en termes d'accessoires et de vis dans la boite.

Zero issues after updating the BIOS. It's a nice board, EXPO 6000 DDR5 easily. It's got all the bells and whistles, but the delay POST setting in the BIOS is my absolute favorite feature by far. No longer am I smashing the delete key after rebooting in hopes of catching it. It's ridiculous, I know. The heatsinks are nice, but huge. The IO shield should have been a shroud and there really should have been a BIOS clear button on the board. That's really nitpicking, though.

I had a horrible time setting my system up using this motherboard at first. I had weird issues like the LAN card not detecting a connection and tons of lag when I installed AMD Adrenalin. I hadn't updated the BIOS (which you're never prompted to do with their built-in software), and I was using Intel-XMP ram (which the documentation claims it can handle -- there's even an option for that profile in BIOS). I updated the BIOS and uninstalled Adrenalin, and that seemed to fix a lot of my issues (my LAN internet was working, Windows wasn't laggy, but Starfield was laggy in some areas using a 7900 XTX). I ordered AMD EXPO rated ram (Corsair 6000 cl30), installed that, installed Adrenalin, and there was no lag in Windows or in Starfield. So, I highly recommend doing 2 things - updating the BIOS and only using AMD EXPO rated ram!! After that, this motherboard seems to work flawlessly (only time will tell), and it looks really cool in my black case. I'm not planning on doing any manual overclocking, so I can't rate that. Overall I think this is a good board (very solid build quality too) -- you just have to know the quirks with DDR5 ram.
