Asrock B650M PG Riptide - Moederbord - DDR5 - micro ATX - Socket AM5

Excellent product, very effective for what I want to do. I recommend it. It offers good value for money. It gets the job done.

I had bought the Asrock B650 HDV/M.2 for my no longer used 7700X. I had a lot of issues with the HDV/M.2, had to return it. Got this B650 PG Lightning to replace it. This PG Lightning has been Great, no issues at all, definitely worth the 160 I paid for it (btw the HDV/M.2 was 120)

Took me a long time to get the system to post but it was totally my fault. Was using a VERY old graphics card to just test for post and system was holding at the VGA test. Post LED's are great and i eventually replaced the video card with the one from my current system and was off to the races. Upgraded BIOS with flashback option which worked great. Paired with G-Skill 6400 memory and had no issues enabling the profile for it. Have a 9600X system running in a few hours. Been running continuous stress stress for several days and not a single hiccup. So far so good.

If you're considering this board, I think it's probable that you've decided that you don't need massive USB connectivity, because that's the one area where this doesn't shine. For me, USB output is adequate and way more than balanced out by the fact that this doesn't have a whiny chipset fan to annoy me or go wrong a few years down the line like all the other B650E ITX contenders. It's been rock solid from day one running PBO and EXPO 6000mhz RAM. Recommend.

Well thought-out with a feel of quality. Hardware Unboxed were impressed with the VRMs. If you don't use wifi or have your own card you don't really need to spend more.
