as far as I'm aware, those should be fine, I'd still recommend upgrading to the latest SBIOS (3.40) where available

But ASRock 800 series AM5 boards are killing granite ridge 3D CPUs en masse. Funny enough, it happened to me.

I begrudgingly switched to Asus after my CPU was RMA'd as that was the only other vendor to offer ECC compat on a consumer platform.

I'll consider you lucky. I've had many experiences with their hardware across different segments (phones, tablets, laptops, mainboards, NICs, displays, GPUs).

They're an atrocious vendor with extremely poor customer support (and shitty SW practicies for UMA systems and motherboards).

I don't think many people have been as unfortunate as I have with them, the general consensus is they mark their products up considerably relative to competition (particularly mainboards & GPUs).

To be fair, their contemporaries arent much butter.

in that situation, Asus are the shitty part, though it is nice to see more TV-sized monitors. Fuck HDMI.
