### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sufficiently overkill for a desktop.
*by R***N on 17 December 2025*

It dropped star because it would not boot a set of top line Trident Z Neo at anything above 5200MT/s when configured as 4 * 32GB. Otherwise it's been as good as gold with 2*32GB CL30 and a Ryzen 9950X3D. I have 4 Samsung Nvme drives (1 * 9100Pro 2TB, 3 * 990 Pro 4TBs) and an Asus Prime 9070XT OC. Latest bios was in Nov 2025 so still in support.
