I got an ASRock x370 board and it had fewer problems than other first gen Ryzen boards, was one of the first to support 5000 series CPUs, and it’s still working well in my NAS with no dead ports or anything.
They used to be one of the lowest quality boards, but they’ve earned my respect. My current motherboard (b550) is also ASRock and the only problem I had was the WiFi chip sucking on Linux (known issue, I replaced just the WiFi module and everything is golden). My wife has a Gigabyte board and it had some minor issues.
When I bought my B650 Lightning, Wendell from Level1Techs recommendations over the years played a big part. I haven’t found a single thing to complain about.
no offense but i would literally never use an asrock board unless i was 15 again scraping coins out of couch cushions
especially on high end silicon. don’t skimp that hard on a board.

So yeah, ASRock is on my good list for now.
I’ve got 2 rigs with their B450M’s and they’ve been solid for years now :shrug:
Asrock is one of the best board makers for am5. They used to be a shit cheap brand but aren’t anymore.
