Decided to go from a 12th gen intel to a 9950x3d that way I could put my custom loop to good use , picked up this board to go with CPU as it seems like the most affordable option to go with what I wanted gotta say I'm impressed the firrerence between this and my old MSI board is massive my partner also has a Asus board a Rog strix and wile it doesn't have some of the stuff hers does it suits me just fine
