Simple but solid. Good budget board for Ryzen 4000 APUs, but great with 12 cores

The board is simple. Everything arrives well. Don't expect a monster for the price - it's simple, easy to set up and works well. It is really designed for Ryzen 4000 series APUs because the 2-slot GPU covers most of the PCIe slots and interferes with the signal with the WiFi card in the last slot. However, it is effective. I installed a Ryzen R9-3900x, 128GB RAM, a 1TB 3x4 NVME gigabyte drive and a 500GB 4x4 NVME drive with a wifi6 6 card and a GTX 1660 GPU - it works fine. Simple, but powerful and reliable.
