Perfect board if you want a feature-packed, RGB-ready, PCIe 5.0 and DDR5-capable platform with tons of storage and connectivity for a high-end gaming or creator build. I am selling this because I bought it from someone who lied to me and didn't disclose 2 of the 4 RAM slots didn't work. The issue is those 2 are in the same channel, so you can't take advantage of dual-channel RAMs like we have now. It doesn't halve the performance but it does reduce it as far as I know. In practice, I believe it's not an issue because 99% of the time games are bottled today by CPU or, increasingly, GPU if graphics/resolution heavy. Anyway, I am just trying to get rid of it and, despite this fault, it was a great motherboard and even beat my current Z790 while it was working. It has a very high voltage/ampere limit on its ARGB headers too, I think 3A, which I have never seen. Anyway, full specs below. Asking $150 but best offer accepted. Also check out my other listings as I am trying to sell a bunch of stuff. Pickup from Artisan West Apartments (500 Manor View Dr, 37923) or can meet up/deliver if within 10-minute drive. Accept Cash, Venmo, or Zelle.
