    Honestly, if you're looking to buy an AM5 Board around this price point, the Gigabyte B650M DS3H is the best bang for your buck. Unfortunately, the latest Asus MB's have really fallen in terms of quality and pricing recently.

    Not to mention their high end exploding board, and a BIOS update that voids your warranty to fix it, lol!

    Also with am5 at the moment, have to be careful espeically with asus as of voltages being used with expo turned on. Can ruin the cpu and the motherboard.

    Asus being the worst of the lot with this.
