One of the best motherboards I have ever used. Super simple bios. All in all performed meticulously. I’ve had it for almost 2 years now and never encountered a problem. It has more than enough slots for everything. The best I’ve ever used and won’t ever think of upgrading until it gives it in like 10 year time.

SO while the board did work out of the box, an increasing rarity with electronics today, the boot up time is measured in minutes even on an AMD 9950x3d and 64GB of ram. The time it takes for this motherboard onboard NIC to access the internet takes on average 6 minutes once you get to a usable desktop, before it will connect to the internet. Wifi will work inside of 90 seconds. Every other computer I own its instant. Its so bad, I am now buying an ethernet card because the ethernet card on this motherboard sucks that bad. Its slow as well. Wifi is faster than the NIC on this motherboard, and I wonder if the bad NIC is whats causing other quirks. As a bonus, its fully compatible with windows 10, so your not forced to downgrade to windows 11 to use it. I would not buy this board again.
