ASRock AM4/X570 Extreme4/HDMI/M.2/USB3.2 Motherboard

It is a great value when it came down to a sale. I originally got it on here, but then newegg had it for 50 dollars less. Everything was easy to set up. The rgb and the rgb header work well. Not a huge fan of Asrocks rgb software but you get what you get. The motherboard has a great I/O selection.The bios is easy to use, but the one problem I run into, and this could be fixed with a bios update most likely, is whenever I spam f2 or delete key, it never loads into the bios and stays on a gray/black screen. I must only click it once for it to go into the bios, and it can only be the f2 key pressed. Every other motherboard I've worked with allows the spamming of the key, but hopefully it's just a small bug.Overall I am impressed with this motherboard, because at the 170 dollars I picked it up for, nothing can match it, and even when amazon had it for 220 or 230, still a great competitor.

The look and features of this mobo are on point. It's a bit pricey, but considering the overclocking and M.2 cooling... it is well worth the price. This board will likely fit AMD chipsets for 5 years or so at enthusiast performance levels. I considered it an investment and was very pleased with the results. Don't buy if you are on a budget. Not worth the performance to price value unless you are going to use it for years. I recommend sticking with stock overclock if you are using Zen2 due to the high heat at idle from Zen2 chips. Talking 50 Celsius at idle. This is common, especially with 3700x, so be wary of any overclock above the stock overclock. It turbos to about 4.2 from 3.6 base clock with the stock overclock on the 3700x, so really doesn't need much more than that unless you are trying to break records.

Have been using this board for almost a year, only a few things to note.I originally wanted to use a Noctua air cooler, but opted for an AIO from Corsair after encountering mounting issues. My memory modules were too close to the heat pipes for proper mounting. I was and am still using Trident Z Royal 16gb modules, which are relatively tall.I'm still using it today, with my Ryzen 9 3900X.

Booted up first time no issues at all after gaming heavily for weeks now. Amazon let me return my first one no questions asked. I will only buy from Amazon from now on. Couldn’t be happier!
