Almost looks like a HP Omen pre built motherboard. Odd to release an AM4 motherboard like this.

This is a weird release , low end mobo am4 , nonetheless a welcome one for people that wants to update plattforms on the cheap.

we like the new so much that we sometimes forget the utility of the old.
AMD has been saying AM4 isn't dead since they released AM5. their release of more X3D cpus on the platform acknowledges it.
it is time we actually give credit to AMD for keeping the best interests of gamers to heart. they may not have as inexpensive gpus as some might like, but you can build a kick-ass 1440p system for well under $ 1,100 total - and that's with 32Gb RAM, 2Tb M.2, and a 750W gold or platinum psu

Same as this one except no Wifi. Can even see the spot where the antennas go.

That's good news. TBH It does look kind of pricey.
But games like Hogwarts run way better with DDR5.
That maybe just a one off?
But!

I wouldn't say "way better." It's about 9%, which is a bit better, but nothing to write home about. What really helps this game is more than 16GB RAM. It's a true memory hog (Hograms pun?) Going from 16 to 32GB removes virtually all stutters.

This plus 56,57,5800X3D is a hell of an upgrade for 12900K performance on air and budget. I cannot see anything wrong with this. Better than a console upgrade.

@RealNC
Yes, it is a ram hog.
16GB is definitely not enough.
It runs perfectly well on my system @ ultra so long as I do not hit ray tracing.
5800X3d
32GB ddr4 @ 3200Mhz
RX6600Xt @ 1080p.
I have noticed that my recent upgrade to the 5800X3D has done a lot to stop stuttering in games, even NFS heat appears to be stutter free. 😱
EDIT: No, it still has stutter issues. 🙁 😡 😕 🙄
