I picked up Aorus Pro X870E during the winter sale which also included 32GB DDR5 6400 memory for around $360, so for me the RAM help offset the overall price. That said, if you do have these boards, you might run into issues with the AMD AGESA 1.2.0.3a patch. My 9800x3D machine had BSODs after the F4a BIOS update, but the F3 bios on AMD AGESA 1.2.0.2b is very stable with curve optimizer under-volt and overclock enabled. So just something to be aware of if you're updating your BIOS. Also there will be random tool tips in Spanish...fun times for a +$300 board lol

If the case has airflow at all, they can even push the 16 core if they don't use pbo.

those cheap boards are meant for APUs, like ryzen 8000. that's obvious from the fact that those boards have a disproportionate amount of power phases for the iGPU relative to the CPU itself.
you're clearly not supposed to stick something like a 9900x into them. even a 9700x would be a stretch for them
additionally, better motherboards also have built in wifi 7/bluetooth 5, multi-gig LAN ports, USB4 chipsets (these are expensive!), more M.2 slots, better audio, debug readout LED screens, etc.
if you don't need those extra features, then obviously this isn't for you and you don't need to be here. but since you are here crying, i'm going to assume that you are just too slow to understand what it is you are looking at. if you can rub two brain cells together and look at the specs, you should not need someone to tell you why these cost what they cost.
