Awesome, this one and the Asus Pro WS X570-ACE are leading the pack in the for-grown-ups-and-adults market. Glad to see some options for those of us that just want the latest in tech, but not to play games. I still have a 1st gen Ryzen system build around an Gigabyte 'Ultra Durable'-line motherboard, for development under Linux, which is another option, but doesn't have all the bells and whistles. Happily, it is working amazingly well and hopefully for 2-3 years more.
I plan to upgrade until the PCIe5/DDR5 generation, I pray that there will be many (more than now) non-14-year-olds motherboards without LEDs and plasticky gimmicks by then to choose.
@Gavin "There are three full-length PCIe 4.0 slots which operate at x16, x8/x8, and x8/x8/x4..." Your math is off. 1/2 16 = 8, not 8x/8x/4x. Please clarify.

As soon as the 3950x launches and settles down to somewhere near MSRP, I'm sold on this board.wr3zzz - Monday, October 7, 2019 - link

MSI has provided proof that there are still a few adults with the power to make decisions on the payroll.ballsystemlord - Tuesday, October 8, 2019 - link
