I'm considering using the ASRock B650M Pro RS micro ATX motherboard for a build that includes a 5070 and a Ryzen 9 9800X3D CPU. I wanted to get some opinions on whether this motherboard is a good choice or if I should look for something else. Here's the link to the board: https://www.newegg.ca/asrock-b650m-pro-rs-micro-atx-motherboard-amd-b650-am5/p/N82E16813162130?item=N82E16813162130. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I’d steer clear of ASRock motherboards for this setup. They've got a reputation for bricking the 9800X3D CPUs. It's better to look for alternatives to avoid potential issues.
Totally agree! I've heard similar stories from friends. What about ASUS or MSI boards?
Thanks for the heads up! If I should avoid ASRock, what brand do you recommend instead?
