Some motherboards I've worked with - I've felt - tended to squeeze things in. I've often had to wedge the AIO cooler into a space not quite designed for an oversized pump/heat plate combo. Not so with this board. It's well laid out, the connections are easy to access I've only had this MB up and running about a month, but so far it's been rock steady.


Design, XMP support, VRMs, M.2 ease of install, front I/O adapters

Runs with a 7900x3D on basically 24/7 load but stays cool. VRM's are cool and power draw around 100-110W. Overall ASRock Bios allows everything to be tuned

Hidden back connectors, black brushed aluminum, minimal ambient light

The motherboard was easy to use as a first time of builder and I like all the ports it had it made it easy for things to stand out and find


-WOOD -Premium built quality -Metal backplate -Not real wood

Honestly, I purchased this product due to its small form factor and numerous features. Its a bit overkill for what I need but its great. I was worried the HIVE may not have been a good idea but its a niche novelty. The light features during boot allows for quicker troubleshooting(assuming you can remember what each color means without looking it up each time LOL) and ports allow quick input for external usb-based storage and peripherals.


- Easy to set up - Visually appealing - Fits everything well

I recently wanted to replace my B650E and decided to go x870E, It is an access motherboard the Bios is simple and has straight forward information on what each segment does currently running with a 7800x3d and 5600mhz of Ram impressed with the stability.

VRMs are good. Wifi is solid. Price for what you get is hard to beat. Also, it looks more "adult" than some motherboards.

Has everything that I needed for this build.

-Great motherboard has plenty of USB slots to "future proof" your rig. -PCI-e 5.0 is a nice upgrade from my PCI-e 3.0 -Nice BIOS utility easy to navigate

great board with alot of pcie lanes for extra ssd and peripherals got a gen 5x4 m.2 / and 2 gen 4x4 installed on board an external m.2 gen 4x4 with a wd black d10 8 tb with a samsung 860 evo and gpu still runs on gen 5x16


- Built in Wifi/BT - Built in I/O Shield - Sufficient rear I/O - Premium looking heatsink shroud - Preinstalled M.2 screws is super convenient - Shipped with latest BIOS version - Two M.2 slots + 4 SATA ports for storage

Everything plugged in and worked first try. My first pc build ever but the wiring diagram was easy to read.
