I paired this with a Ryzen 9 5900x - it's a fantastic value offering, even though it isn't the cheapest Ryzen 5000 compatible board, but compared to the cheapest Intel LGA1200 board for 12th gen i7 or i9 it is a complete steal! It's not the most full featured mobo, but gets the job done, and allows the 5900x to run at it's highest potential. Great board for the money.
