    It's obviously not the best MB but at £85 for a B650 board, who can argue. Good deal!

    Exactly, you'd expect an A620 at this price. It's been pointed out that you can spend a "bit more" for a £120 board with better VRMs. Should you choose to use a 170W chip on it.

    That other comment has been deleted now. Weird. (edited)

    Sparse on slots but otherwise a bargain
    nobbynuts's avatar
    I barely use any slots. Most things are built into the motherboard now. Shame itx cost so much

    OOS even though website says otherwise

    Would this motherboard bottleneck the 7800x3d?

    No, only something pulling way more power like a 7950X.
