Question Does the Asrock B650M-PG Lightning WiFi have issues ?

[Pimpom]

This motherboard Asrock B650M-PG Lightning Wi-Fi meets the features I want and just fits into my budget. But I heard that some recent Asrock motherboards have been having issues. Can anyone please tell me if this model is one of those?

As for the CPU, I'm leaning towards the Ryzen 7 7800X3D - if I can squeeze it into budget. Otherwise, it may be a 7700X or similar.. Other specs are RTX 4070 GPU, 2 x 16GB RAM, 2 x 1TB WD SN770 SSDs.

It's not just one board from ASRock, it's all of their boards, primarily due to their BIOS version.

IMHO, I wouldn't drop in a 7800X3D processor onto a motherboard with a 6 phase VRM design, instead with something more beefy.

Thanks.
I saw this mobo several weeks - maybe 2 months - ago while doing an extensive search for a model that both fits into my budget and has the features I want. But I shelved the project for some time and heard about the issues with Asrock boards in the mean time.

Anyway, while waiting for a reply to my post, I did a fresh search and found some suitable alternatives from other manufacturers.
