Why do these annoucements never come with a price tag attached? It always makes me suspicious.

IO is not terrible, nice minimalistic board with no ARGB just hoping the VRM is upto mark task of feeding Ryzen 9 CPUs without overheating or causing other issues. Also no more BIOS issues crop up with these as at sub $150 these can be good options for majority of PC builders on budget.

Is that an accessible WiFi card? It's not hidden under the IO shroud like Gigabyte's? :eek:

It looks nice but only two M2 is a no buy for me, sadly.

Not to be confused with the B580 Challenger graphics card.

If it's cheaper than the B850 Pro-A, then I guess it's worth considering.

Yeah, I just tried to look up the price and mistyped, saw €269 and wondered what the fuck they were thinking.
