Hey everyone! My ASUS Prime X670-P WIFI motherboard has unfortunately died, and I'm in the market for a replacement. My current setup includes a Ryzen 9 7950X3D CPU, a Palit RTX 4080 Super GPU, 64GB of G.Skill DDR5 6000 CL30 EXPO RAM, and a mix of storage including 2 M.2 SSDs, 1 SATA SSD, and 1 SATA HDD.
I'm looking for a new motherboard that meets the following criteria: it should be fully stable with my hardware, have no weird BIOS or firmware issues, and offer high build quality with reliable VRM. Additionally, I need plenty of USB 3.2 ports (preferably Gen 2 or Gen 2x2), good software that's user-friendly, and I'd like to choose something with fewer known problems. Any recommendations?

What do you mean by 'plenty' of USB 3.2 ports? Just curious how many you need for your setup!
Have you thought about using a USB hub? That could save you the trouble of getting a whole new motherboard.
I’d say a minimum of 6-8 would be good to cover most needs.
