ASUS ROG Strix B650-A Gaming vs MSI MPG B650 Edge?

[bamboilo]

For a 7800X3D - Which motherboard would be better for stability, overall memory OC + support and less BIOS f... ups?
I'm more inclined towards MSI, since the things I've read about how ASUS treats the AMD lineups are pretty atrocious (from CPU melting, to lengthy BIOS update processes etc etc).

LAN is not needed, neither is the sound, I don't mind the 1min boot times from MSI. I only need a M2 Gen5 + 2x m2 gen4 slots + 3x PCI-e lines for GPU, LAN card and sound card.

It'd be great to have a PCI-e 5.0 x16 too, to future proof but that's too much to ask from a B650, and that's why I was thinking about ASRock X670E PG Lightning.

Those motherboards are at the same price right now and both suit my needs.
What do you think guys?

I guess white / silver aesthetics arnt really required as the ASRock board is black.

You need to go B650E if you want all the PCI-e 5.0 stuff, so something like this, it has PCI 5.0 x16 slot and 2 x PCI 5.0 M.2 Slots (From CPU) along with a further 2 PCI 4.0 M.2 Slots (From Chipset) https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asus...ocket-am5-ddr5-atx-motherboard-mb-6jw-as.html

Or theres the cheaper version of the same board which looses some of the features, including the post code display which is really handy to have and also looses 1 x M.2 slot and most of the PCI Gen5 stuff except 1 M.2 slot: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asus...ocket-am5-ddr5-atx-motherboard-mb-6jx-as.html

60eur difference between the other 2 where I live, unfortunately, which make them over 330eur and for that price I'd just pick a X670, which I don't really need, but thanks for the suggestion!
