AM5 - Asrock X870 Steel Legend WiFi vs Gigabyte X870E AORUS ELITE WIFI7

I am thinking about changing my motherboard to one of these bad boys - anyone got an opinion on which is the best board?

Had a few Gigabyte boards and never had any issues although Asrock is new to me so not sure what to expect.

Will be paired with a 9800X3D and 32Gb of DDR5 CL30 6000 Ram

Main use is gaming @ 1440P

A quick look at both of those boards, and I would suggest the Gigabyte one, as that one appears to have a PCIe release button/slide. The Asrock one does not appear to have this feature, meaning if you have an air cooler as well, it'll be hard to remove the GPU once it's in.

Yeah - I was veering towards the gigabyte anyway but thats a good point

Any other opinions?
