ASRock X870E Nova WiFi ATX Motherboard for AMD AM5 CPUs

This thing is a beast. No issues with my 9800X3D so far (fingers crossed) although I have been keep right up to date with the BIOS updates. If you want a Motherboard for AMD which allows you to use 4xNVME without lanes being blocked - this is the one for you. Wifi and BT are also solid. I didn't build this PC myself, so if you're going down that route - check other reviews.

Ok, there were a few problems in earlier bios versions that had a soc voltage anomaly/bug that you should be aware of. This has been widely reported on but fixed according to ASRock. I have had no problems on the board at all, it is well built, good quality and is a good price compared to other motherboards with similar or even lesser specs.

Decent build quality and easy to build your PC. Has a great power delivery. No issues with set up and bios flash features are super easy. Bios itself could be easier to navigate but it has all the tools necessary to overclock your system. Good cooling and enough m.2 drives for most needs.

I thought the problems were fixed, they're not, this thing worked for about 6-7 months then damaged my CPU and wouldn't boot properly just as thousands and thousands of others have also had happen to them with AsRock boards. Do not buy AsRock. I had a great graphics card from AsRock which gained my trust for the brand but this has taken away all trust I had, definitely avoid AsRock motherboards. If you do any research you'll see why. It'll be MSI or Gigabyte for me in future as Asus and AsRock are dirt it seems.

Stay away from this faulty, horrible failure of a mobo. The BIOS is broken and easily corrupts and just the other day it ended my CPU whilst gaming, no overclock! And the worst part is it was fine until I updated the BIOS. Horrible brand never again and dont be fooled by YouTube paid to promotion asrock

The delivery by local seller was fast Was skeptical on Asrock X870E when I saw print on the box mobo was produce in Vietnam - Hooked up with a 9800x3D cooled by Lianli GA2 Performance on Rad 7900XTX in Lianli 011D EVO case - No need to do BIOS update and booting up on Win 11x64 without a hitch. - XPG DDR5 2x16 was boosted to 6000 with PBO enable No compatibility issue so far. Did some gaming for few hours, no stutter or hang up. Will update later after tweaking and getting some milage out of the combo Good Buy if you can get the stock

I was very skeptical about this motherboard, the last time I had purchased an ASRock motherboard was over 5yrs ago & it only lasted one year. I was very surprised when I received the package, and opened the box, it was literally so beautiful, I seriously paused for a moment to just appreciate the beauty. The motherboard is put together very well, I couldn't believe it's an 8-layer PCB, has a metal back plate, and all of the PCIe lanes correctly setup for the lower price that it is verses the competition. I do understand that there have been issues with previous versions of the bios mostly with PBO settings. My motherboard came with bios 3.20, and I promptly updated to 3.25, now there is another bios version available, however I believe this is for upcoming new CPUs & I haven't yet updated my bios to the latest. I also do not use PBO, I set a multiplier & set the CPU core voltage & SoC voltage & it's been stable. I am using a 9800 X3D, set all 8 cores to 5.4 GHz, set CPU core voltage to 1.24v (it actually goes lower on its own), & SoC voltage to 1.24v (it also goes lower on its own). While I don't dismiss there could be an issue with this motherboard & it killing CPUs, I do think it is mostly due to users just plugging in the CPU and just allowing it to run at system defaults, which has shown will do in the CPU based on how good the cooling it has. The only issue I had with the motherboard is that it has to have a thumb drive formatted as Fat32, which means you need a smaller size drive to get this done. Once I got found a smaller size drive, it updated quickly and all is well. The only other downside for me is that the bios looks likes & feels like something from early 2000s, so this is also why that you are stuck to using a Fat32 formatted drive, so if ASRock wants to truly fix something, this would be a huge plus if they could fix their bios & be able to use larger size drives for updates. One last issue I had is the memory list, I have 3 different memory kits & only one is on it, however, its rock solid on the EXPO I profile, so I just mention this as a warning to make sure to look at the qualified memory list, & also this is the first time I've seen a M.2 drive support list, again make sure to go over this list to make sure you don't have compatibility issues later. Overall, I would recommend this motherboard & has been completely stable since the start & I will come back and change the review should something happen. Speaking seriously, I am about to give up on AMD due to mostly memory compatibility issues, I still have Intel systems working today & are older systems & they were stable from day one & didn't have to jump through all these hoops to just get it working, I truly hope AMD can get this sorted out soon, because at this moment I have no hope, because we are like 3yrs or more into the platform & memory issues still exist. ASRock needs to seriously work on their own software for their products. The software they have made to control the system fans, while works, it doesn't work well & also their software for the lighting control works, it's just very clumsy & strange to use. It would be great if they could get their software put together better.

Asrock à fait fort dans un prix contenu, il ya des VRM super correct et des fonctionnalités d'enfer, PCIE 5.0, USB4, WIFI 7, bleutooh 5.4, 4 emplacements SSD NVME, tirette de dégagement de la carte graphique, bouton sur la carte mère et afficheur de diagnostique, plein de port USB, le son avec l'application Nahimic est transcendant, un bon investissement

Med uppdaterad bios är denna en riktigt best för priset. Bäst i klassen skulle jag säga, inga problem med kortet, men viktigt att uppdatera bios och använda rätt slots för att få önskad effekt.

A placa é linda e muito boa, tive uns problemas inicialmente com a bios, até achei que estava com defeito, mas foi só dar clear cmos que funcionou perfeitamente.
