Looking for a replacement for MEGx570 ACE

I'm kinda disappointed with my MSI x570 MEG ACE, so I'm looking for a replacement x570 board to go in my Ryzen 9 3950x system.

I don't need a disco in my case, so one option is the Asus Pro x570 ACE board, but that would need an extra wifi card and USB-c converter for my front panel USB-c socket.

Other boards I'm considering are the Strix-E and Crosshair Hero Wifi.

I'm open to other ideas (except ASRock and other MSIs)...

I dunno what to buy, hence why I'm asking on here...

Hi and welcome,

Why don't you like the MSI board, without that we can't recommend something else?

.... and the MSI board is disappointing because?

Proper information dammit!

It doesn't o/c via the bus and I'm disappointed with the max overclock it'll do.

The Dragon Centre software was so bad I didn't reinstall it when I reinstalled Windows.

Can't I just dislike something because it's not as good as I thought it was gonna be?

Bus overclocking beyond about 103 hasn't worked since the first Gen processors.
