Short version: In summary, if you're willing to compromise by using irregular and nonstandard hardware in order to really chase down the best value, I see no reason why you shouldn't purchase this. Docked a star because it runs a little hotter than it needs to, but can be mitigated if you're willing to tinker.The details: This is probably the most bang-for-the-buck solution you can get. It's got 32 threads, can do PCIe 5.0, and you can even overclock with it. But you need to be aware of the cooling. I spent hours and hours looking into this and did eventually find a solution. The surface of the cooler that meets the CPU die isn't as flat/smooth as any other cooler out there, which results in substandard performance. It will cool the chip just fine, but you're going to hear that fan working and working often unless you change out the paste. And even then it will still be bouncing off TjMax (which is within spec for the chip, so it's fine). I definitely recommend repasting the CPU. Just use an excessive amount of paste to compensate for the cooler's imperfections. I, personally, replaced my paste with a pad of PTM7950, tightened the cooler onto the board as much as I could reasonably go, and my thermals have been great ever since. Alternatively, there does exist a water block for this exact board; but it's prohibitavely expensive (like 400 euros) and unless you can speak German you'll have a tough time getting it.Furthermore, there is a BIOS/UEFI update available for this board that improves the default fan curve and thermals, so do look into that. You can also use the overclocking menus to undervolt the CPU, further reducing temps and fan noise. It's a great chip and performs like others in its class, it just doesn't come out of the box "perfect." And that's ok, people buying this should be willing to tinker.

Great MITX board+cpu combo. The price for this is really good, compared to pairing your own board and similar cpu. Running this with a RX 9070 XT and it runs great with any games on high/ultra 1440p. The high core count (despite hard limit of 100W) is great, the performance is identical to a Ryzen 7900 non-X for comparison.Update: After 2 weeks have stability issues seemingly related to AMD drivers, if you do, downgrade to the previous version.

installed in a mini itx case with rtx 4070 dual fan. great upgrade from my rtx 3060 gaming pc. I will be buying another one when building a new pc, fantastic motherboard with a great cpu.

Pros:* Cheap* Powerful hardware (16c/32t)* Great sound quality on it's amp/dac (if anyone cares about that anymore)* Built-in intel wifi 6 card* Great support for linux out of the box.* Decent BIOS options* Incredible power efficiency compared to a full desktop chip (60w on desktop/330w while gaming)Cons:* No SATA ports* Only 1 usb header* No usb-c headers* Non-standard fan mount for board fan (uses m2.5 threads when most fans are mounted with m3)* Wireless antenna included is bulky and the pins are non-standard (they protrude from the antenna side going into the case, whereas other antennas expect the pin to protrude from the case) so you can't simply replace it with a small form factor antennaExtremely happy with this board! Very innovative and cost competitive. Literally wouldn't be able to build a mini itx in this price range.For context: I'm upgrading from an i7-5930k 6c 12t processor. This was a huge step up in performance and although there are some caveats (only 1 USB header, 2 m.2, no sata) these can all strategically be worked around in your build (use one m.2 slot for sata or buy 2 large m.2 drives, get a USB header splitter)I'm running on Linux exclusively and everything just works, and works well (USB c for display/USB is working with graphics offloading to a dedicated GPU). There are ways you can control the fans by installing custom firmware on Linux, I haven't done it yet. The fan curves are rough out of the box but they get the job done and I'm hoping to smooth them out.I have this paired with an hdplex 500w DC power supply and a 330w 20v dell power adapter. At the wall it measures 40-60w on the desktop and with my GPU (AMD 5700XT) set to a maximum of 180w, I am measuring 330w max while gaming with nothing getting too hot. This things a monster.

For anyone who is looking for ridiculous processing at a rock bottom price, I'd recommend this. Bonus points it's in an ITX form factor, although you have to get a little creative like I did if this is going into a full sized tower to keep it from looking weird. This is basically the mobile variant of the Ryzen 9 7950x, but it's unlocked and there's good options in the bios to adjust pbo settings, curve optimizer settings for both CPU and graphics. You will almost always be cooling limited because the included heatsink is the only one you can use and it's not the biggest. So I got the bright idea to use an APNX 30mm thick fan. If you do this, be sure to order m2 screws 30mm+ because the brackets fan mounting hardware use m2 screws. So I just mounted a normal 120mm x25mm thick fan in the meantime while I wait for the screws to arrive to put the nicer and more capable fan on it. Performance is just a shade under the true desktop 7950x, but it's recognizably better than my previous processor the I9-12900kf all while using 1/3rd the power to do it.Also try to get the lowest latency ddr5-5200mhz sodimm sticks. I got a lot of ddr5-5200 cl38 from gskill, because anything over 5200 will be downclocked. So if you get a ddr5-6000 cl46 kit, you'll just end up with ddr5-5200 cl46 which isn't ideal.Also board has no argb header of any kind, and no type c header. You'll have to get creative to work around that, I went with an argb controller and USB 3 splitter. So turn 1 USB 3.2 header into two, and use a USB 3 to type c header. That way I could use all the ports on my case.Even with a few $10 adapters here and there, you get a Ryzen 7000 16 core CPU, motherboard, and heatsink for less than the cost of the desktop 7950x CPU alone. This is my second minisforum Ryzen 7000 board, girlfriend has had the 7745hx board for a year now with no issues. I can't recommend these boards enough to people who want great performance without spending a fortune for it.
