ASRock X670E Steel Legend review

Meet the ASRock X670E Steel Legend motherboard. It’s a mid-tier motherboard (from a series that we had a chance to check with Z690 or B550 chipset) but with a high-end AM5 chipset. The “E” in the X670E indicates that the board needs to have at least one PCI5.0 x16 slot and one PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot.

$299 for the most basic x670e, still seems a lot to me when decent z690 sell for $160.

Yeah, well, when apparently people are totally fine with 3-slot+ GPUs, I guess you're not going to need those expansion slots anyway...

Thats not excuse, if you need to use other slot you could as well put GPU to raiser or put it in 2nd slot and have 1st free to use with what ever you need.

I am not going to buy motherboard that does not have two 16x/0 | 8x/8x slots from CPU and post code.... ever, period. I used 2nd slot and post code for troubleshooting too many times, it save my nerves and time.

expensive.. And Asrock has no x670e with 10gbit ethernet this generation... Even on the most expensive boards.

This is one of the reasons i won't bite to change my older setup.
