Great mobo

last month

Great MB for mine 3700x, was thinking a more expensive x570 board at the beginning but it's not necessary to spend a 80-100 more with basically the same performance. End of the day, it's easy to build and happy to work with, would recommend to those who like a simple but reliable MB. The extra M.2 slot won me over compared to the tomahawk max.
