the best Motherboard i have brought 5*
one of the best Motherboards i have had and well worth the price
Its been many years since I updated my PC and was torn between staying on well established end of line AM4 and futureproof AM5. My budget was not great and in Dec22 I decided to stick to AM4 for as long as I can so bought this board. Great OC capabilities, excellent audio, perfect BIOS - Overall solid board that includes premium features at a fair price.
