a "creator" board with 10 year old audio? wow. I understand not spending the $ on the newest 4xxx chipset for sound, but the ALC 1200 family is still really nice and barely more $ than this crap.

A question that I would like to see answered is - what level of chip could this board handle with no throttling?

i7 or i5K?

What is different that allows the board to dominate the Office benchmarks? It seems like the biggest best most expensive should still lead those too.

These moderate boards will help Raptor Lake a bunch at launch. DDR5 still doesn't look worth it in most cases to me. Intel could have a little motherboard advantage for the first time in a long time.

$199!! is hardly under $200, don't for get to add taxes, a budget board would be more like $79-$100, mid-range-$159-$169 range.
