I'm currently building a PC with an AM5 setup featuring a 9700x processor and a 5070ti graphics card. I've run into a bit of a snag with the motherboard selection. I'm interested in finding a motherboard similar to the MSI B850 GAMING PLUS WIFI6E ATX AM5. The issue is that it won't be available until late December or early January, which isn't ideal for my timeline. I'm open to any color options, and I'd prefer something with a price close to that model. Any recommendations?

How about the ASRock B650 Pro RS WiFi? It’s a solid choice and comes with great features. Here’s the link to it: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Lnrqqs/asrock-b650-pro-rs-wifi-atx-am5-motherboard-b650-pro-rs-wifi.

I've heard that ASRock had some CPU burnout issues. Is that something to worry about?
