Good board with top price/performance ratio
Setup:
7800X3D, 32GB DDR5 RAM (6000MHz, CL30), 7800XT, M2 SSD
Assembly of the components and installation in the board was simple as usual. Everything was recognised without any problems and the corresponding EXPO profile was loaded. In the benchmark (Time Spy) the graphics score was perfect, but the CPU score was approx. 6-7% lower than it should be. Plus the well-known long boot time with the AM5 platform. After a little research, I found out that further RAM settings need to be made in the bios to reduce the boot time to approx. 15-20 seconds and to achieve full performance in the benchmark.
Since then, everything has been tiptop and the PC runs perfectly. The USB front slot was difficult to find, but that was probably more down to the user than the board. :)Cool motherboard
Everything top
Everything top, everything works, good quality: A little tip, if you want to boot into Windows faster, then I would activate Memory Context.

Good price-performance ratio
IMPORTANT: Activate Memory Context Restore in the BIOS to reduce the boot time from approx. 1 minute to approx. 10-20 seconds.
Inserting the RAM sticks (G.Skill Trident z 5 RGB) was relatively difficult but worked with enough careful pressure.Pro
