I'm in need of a new AM5 motherboard since my Asrock X670e has been giving me loads of Realtek hardware IO errors. I've tried every potential fix and guide, but nothing seems to work, and there are times when my Ethernet and WLAN ports won't function at all. I've heard some folks say that Asrock isn't the best choice for this generation, so I'm on the hunt for a more reliable motherboard. I'm looking for something with plenty of ports, including Wi-Fi and Ethernet. I have two M.2 SSDs and an HDD, so I'd appreciate some good storage options. My case is a Montech King 95, so it needs to be ATX size.

Honestly, Asrock has had some issues with the newer CPUs and motherboards. For a solid alternative, I’d suggest considering a B850 motherboard that’s not from Asrock, somewhere in the $150-200 range should work well for you. You just need to make sure it has all the features you're looking for. Why do you need both Wi-Fi and Ethernet though?
I always like having Wi-Fi as a backup! You never know when a wired connection might go down.
