Was planning a build using a B650E AORUS ELITE X AX ICE as it looks pretty decent and it seemed a solid B650E board.

Today the B650E AORUS PRO X USB4 was briefly on offer for very little more. It's an odd board, it devotes 4 CPUs lanes to USB 4 (single 40Gbps or 2x20Gbps). It has 4 M2 but if you use the 3rd or 4th it drops the GPU down to 8x.

Seems like an odd board, almost a test bench for the upcoming revised boards. Anyone got one?

It's only a 6 layer PCB which some people seem to suggest might reduce memory overclocking/PCI-E 5 stability.

If you want USB4 then X870/X870E should be out at the end of the month.

This one looks far to expensive for what it offers and as you say a 6 layer PCB.
