Faultless for over a year, and the BIOS flashback button saved the build
This board has been in daily service for about fifteen months and I have thought about it exactly twice. The first was during the build, when the 7800X3D I bought needed a newer BIOS than the board shipped with. The flashback button meant a USB stick and four minutes sorted it, with no borrowed CPU and no trip to a shop. The second was when I added a third M.2 and discovered the heatsink comes off with a single screw rather than the usual puzzle. Beyond that it has simply run, at 6000 with EXPO, through a summer with no air conditioning and a lot of long gaming sessions. The rear IO has enough USB that I have never reached for a hub, the audio is clean enough that I stopped using a DAC, and the network port has never dropped. For the money at the time it was a very easy recommendation and it still is.
