Best board I’ve used in a long time!
My build:Motherboard: NZXT N7 B650E with integrated 4k GPU and onboard WiFi6CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9900XRAM: 128GB DDR5PSU: 1k WattSSD: 1x 1TB + 1x 2TB, both Western DigitalLiquid Cooling: GAMDIAS Aura GL240 V2, 240mmChassis: GAMDIAS White ATX Mid Tower with 4x 120mm ARGB FansThis motherboard is excellent for the money. It boots up really fast, especially with the max load of 128GB of DDR5 RAM. It’s made for the Ryzen 7000/8000/9000 series, and my CPU works very well with every component I added in. This sucker’s practically a brick, so it’s built solid while also easy to install. All USB ports work very well. The ARGB features, integrated 4k graphics, and onboard Wi-Fi 6 are very smooth.The only thing that caught me off guard is that this needs two power connectors to run. I knew of the 24 pin connector (located on the right-hand side) that powers the board itself, but I initially missed the 8 pin connector that powers the CPU and ports on the back. It’s located on the upper left corner near the CPU. I’m used to building with boards that have a single power connector, so just remember to connect that 8 pin to your PSU and your board will work just fine.

Great motherboard
Very good and clean looking motherboard

Great for a gaming pc.
If you’re looking to build a gaming PC, this is in incredibly user friendly to those who are new to building their own gaming pc.Everything on this board is incredibly detailed. The manual is in incredibly easy to read / follow.I personally built this for someone who just switched from an Xbox to a gaming PC, but doesn’t have the time to build the gaming PC and since NZXT makes this very easy to build / modify you should have no problem upgrading if you want.

Gave up after hours of work.
Finnicky at best, and completely unable to get it working. I spent roughly 9 hours trying to get it to work from BIOS updates to removing the ram and putting it in one by one. Nothing worked, and I have given up. I looked at help forum after help forum and I believe my issue is that I don’t have the SPECIFIC RAM brand that it requires. NOT a good value, if it requires specific parts.

I heard people having issues with this board. Personally I had no issues. I paired up with a 9000 series chip. If you’re currently building with this board and having a problem with it not posting, make sure to go to the nzxt website, find the motherboard, scroll all the way down and download the bios update, extract contents, then download the file onto a USB that’s formatted (fat32). MAKE SURE TO RENAME THE FILE TO ”creative.rom”. Turn off the pc, but don’t cut the power to the psu. Plug in the usb into the bios flash port, hold the little button down, it’ll start flashing green, let it do its thing, it’ll turn solid green, once it’s goes out, turn on the pc.Hope this helps. Would only recommend this board when it’s on sale for $200.

Robust VRM, quality sound, Wi-Fi, perfect aesthetics. Took some troubleshooting.
Pros:- 16+2+1 90A SPS VRM. Overkill even for a 16 core Ryzen.- Robust and durable PCB.- Robust NVMe slot #1 heatsink.- PCIe 5.0 GPU slot.- Surround sound connectivity and TOSLINK out.- Boots quick.- Wi-Fi works great with included antennas.Cons:- Took some troubleshooting to arrive at optimal BIOS version for consistent performance. BIOS releases are also behind the comparable AsRock release roadmap (at least at the date this review is written) if you care about having the absolute latest BIOS. Still runs fine on v3.06.- No ECLK generator. Not really applicable to this price point anyways.- No temp sensor jumpers. Had to buy an Aquacomputer Octo to control fans with.- Wish NVMe slots 2&3 had functional heat spreaders with thermal pads. On this board they are just composite covers.The overall features and aesthetics of this board for $250 seemed like a great value to support a 9800X3D. Cross shopped with the Strix X670E-F which does have ECLK but was not a fan of the gamer aesthetics on that one. I was not let down by the N7 B650E in the end.Upon purchasing I immediately flashed the BIOS to 3.08 and had numerous issues getting the board to POST consistently. Flashing to 3.06 fixed my issue. The AsRock-style BIOS is easy to navigate and use. The diagnostic lights and built-in power/reset buttons were a huge help when putting this board through its paces on the test bench. Kind of wish they were on the side though (looks like NZXT is fixing that with their upcoming X870E).Paired with my all-black Mushkin 6400 C30 64GB kit the combo looks awesome and I was able to hit 6200 C28 @1.43V stable. I’m running a 9800X3D and a 7900 XTX Aqua. The CPU will do all core -50 on curve optimizer and hits an R23 score of ~24400.Overall very pleased with this board’s performance and stability.

Rezension – MainboardPro:Stabiles Mainboard mit ordentlichen Specs. Die Stromversorgung für PCIe ist stark und liefert auch unter Last zuverlässig. Optisch macht das Board was her – clean und modern. Die Kühlung für M.2-SSDs ist gut gelöst, läuft kühl und effizient. Pluspunkt: Die proprietären Anschlüsse für Gehäuselüfter und ARGB sind direkt auf dem Board vorhanden und sinnvoll platziert – kein Rumgesuche, alles da, wo es hingehört.Kontra:Ein paar Schwächen gibt’s. NZXT CAM unterstützt keine RGB-Steuerung für RAM – wer alles zentral steuern will, muss auf andere Tools ausweichen. Außerdem fehlen rückseitig orientierte Anschlüsse – damit wird sauberes Kabelmanagement schwieriger. Und subjektiv: Das RGB-Design der Intel-Variante sieht einfach besser aus – Geschmackssache, aber erwähnenswert.Fazit:Technisch stark, optisch solide, mit kleinen Schwächen bei Software und Anschlusslayout. Wer auf cleane RGB-Integration und gutes Kabelmanagement Wert legt, sollte sich Alternativen anschauen. Für alle anderen: zuverlässiges, gut ausgestattetes Board.

Me encanto el diseño minimalista, pero esperaba que tuviera un poco mas de calidad, algunas partes son muy fagriles, la fabricante de esta motherboard es AsRock y NZXT solo le hace un rebranding

It’s a decent motherboard but I ended up switching to the AORUS Pro
