    Wonder what made them choose this motherboard model in particular?

      It sounds from their blog posts, they tried to crib some config details from the MSI Intel boards they had done work with, but it seems like a relatively small part of the story.

      I bought one a few months ago because I had wrecked the PCI-E clip on my old ASRock X670E Pro RS, and it was my first time in a Micro Center. :P

      What drew me to it was the large number of conventional PCI-E slots (one day I might want to dust off my old Hauppauge HVR-1250 or Sound Blaster Audigy-RX)

      The one novel feature compared to other similarly priced B850/X870 boards is that it has 5GbE when most have 2.5Gb.
