Sad C6E noises.
After AMD's decision to single out and discontinue AGESA maintenance for X370-based motherboards despite having no actual valid technical reason as to why do so beyond a generic "300 series motherboards were built to an inferior standard" (despite the X470 being the exact same ASIC and most 400 series being carbon copies or using similar components with similar characteristics) - going as far as fabricating theories such as low BIOS ROM storage sizes which were quickly debunked by the enthusiast community - and then going out of their way to actively stop the motherboard manufacturers that decided to provide support for newer processors anyway (AsRock), I would guess that it's best if it a product like the C6E "just disappeared".
Even though I never owned a C6E (I did have the Hero though) I still think it's one of the cooler AM4 boards to this day, for whatever reason.
That having been said though, I feel like this new iteration is way too late in the lifecycle of AM4 and is simply for those chasing epic e-peen points.
