full of bugs! Do not buy! To return!

I spent about a good chunk of the day installing a Ryzen 9 3900X, +32GB DDR4 (4x8GB) and 3 RTX GPUs. This board has many bugs from no display to RAM read errors (board saw RAM as 2133 instead of 3200MHz) to CPU errors, screen freezes! UNBELIEVABLE! I finally managed to figure out a way to get the operating system to work, but one bug remains to this day: When I turn on the computer, my monitor doesn't turn on automatically. I have to turn it on manually. And if I turn it on too early, it turns off again; and when I turn it on too late it shows a blank screen (no GUI). Keep in mind that the same OS works fine on my Intel systems. Anyway, I managed to get around it, but the number of bugs is phenomenal! I am stunned that these boards are allowed to be sold to the public! Edit: It looks like this board cannot accept 3 GPUs. I will refund this fee! Edit 2: Screen glitches were fixed with a BIOS update. The bios update also resulted in a Ryzen processor overclock increase of around 50MHz. I also added an 80mm fan to cool the VRMs since I use water cooling and the VRMs are not cooled by the CPU fan; and another 50MHz was received (the VRM temperature has now dropped from +65°C to 30°C). Ryzen is now clocked from 3.55GHz to 4115GHz on all cores (depending on workload and AVX usage). I have to say that a BIOS update is a must, ASAP! However, I experience that I can only add 2x RTX GPUs to the system! It sucks! Edit 3: Finally give up! The bios doesn't allow any more changes. Now it only boots after a bios reset. No overclocking, not even adjusting the fan curve or enabling XMP. The payment will be refunded!
