Thanks for the overview.
I've been blitzing motherboard reviews the last few weeks.
Does anyone here have the AsRock X570 Creator?
I was actually surprised to see it marked as the best. It's the only board that ticks all boxes for me with 10GB ethernet and built in Thunderbolt 3, but when I started looking at comments from owners, all I saw was complaints.
Users are complaining about Thunderbolt 3 not working correctly, having to use old bioses, instability and more.
I'm not sure how accurate the comments are though so would love to hear from anyone who has the board.

B550-A pro was on my wishlist. That or its sibling Gaming Plus (which should be the same with slight more stuff and is priced just a tiny little bit more). But then I had to build a PC for an acquaitance, the prices of the former two skyrocketed beyond the price of the Tomahawk, so I went for that, (155 eur while A pro should hover in the 120s, gaming plus 130ish). Honestly for that little more the Tomahawk is kinda nicer, i think. But I see many times around it should be in the 180s.

I just ordered a Gigabyte B550 Aorus Pro board. I have an R5 3600. I won't bother with upgrading the CPU until I can walk into Best buy and purchase a 5000 series CPU. the only thing I'm not fond of is the placement of the internal USB 3.0 header. I don't like the fact that I have to figure out a way to create as little strain as possible on the cable and connector when I connect the two since it's on the bottom of the board.

The X570 Creator is a piece of shit.
It is not possible to populate the M2_2 and the x4 (PCIE6) slot at the same time. It s seither one or the other. I recently purchased the mainboard and populated all three mechanical x16 PCIE slots with three single slot GPUs and both of the M2 slots with PCIE 3.0 NVMEs. AS soon as I remove the third GPU from the x4 (PCIE6) and reboot the system, the last M2 NVME becomes available.

Kingston HyperX Fury Black 16GB DDR4 3200MHz PC4-25600 CL16
Okay guys I need your help. I found this for 65 Euros for a single 16 GB stick. My question: is it a good idea to buy 2 sticks (130 euros for 32gb) of this model or am I over looking some flaw? I'm wating for a 5900x and thanks to this video I'm buying the Aorus B550 Pro V2 160 Euros.... Pros - Cons?

I'm running the 5600X on the Asus TUF X570 Wifi and really happy with it. There is no need for manual overclocking, not even a need to use Auto OC or Ryzen Master, you just flip a few BIOS settings to unlock the CPU and it does boost up and down automatically. The only weird thing is that the motherboard lighting stays on when the PC is off. Is that normal??

Why Msi x570 Tomahawk didnt make it to the list? I have seen some reviews that shows these are good. But I don't know much as Gamers Nexus. Reason for this question is because I was going to buy one based on reviews. But getting confused. Now its between asus tuf x570 vs meg x570 tomahawk. I hope anyone reads this and makes the doubt clear.

More of a yawn-er than usual. Hell I can go to the manufacturer web sites and look at and read all the on-paper details. Don t need a half hour video to parrot them back at me. Also, as some mentioned already, these are the best ? Best on a budget maybe?

I think there is a slight misstake in the description. The link title for the affiliate link to the mag mortar says it's B450, although you obviously review the B550. The affiliate link is however correct. Thanks for the roundup!
