A steal for the best itx mobo for AM5. A little annoying to build with since the connections are a little weird, but having 3 NVME SSD slots is worth it. Updated the BIOS before installing and booted first try. Using it with 96GB of G-Skill ram and a Ryzen 7 9700x

I run an early revision of this mobo with a 9800x3D and 5090. It's all you need!

Is this better than the 870i ICE? I know that's more expensive, but I used that in a recent build and it was incredible.

Been trying for a month now to get the BIOS to update to work for my 9600x. How'd you do it? Literally every exact step because I've done everything

I did it on the bench before I installed anything on the motherboard. Maybe your flash drive was too big or not formatted correctly, or you didn't rename the bios file correctly. I followed a tutorial on YouTube to know what to expect in terms of lights and time to complete. The motherboard itself spent about 5 minutes updating I believe

Which BIOS did you use? I've done it all kinds of ways, still no post here

I recently bought an ASRock B860i lightning wifi from newegg to build a NAS with. Should I have gone with this one? this doesn't have gen5 but has one more M.2 and I think that seems really great. I would just need to also find out if this one supports bifurcation x4x4x4x4

Did you update your BIOS?
Some ASRock boards got too aggressive on default PBO setting/feature which ended up killing some Ryzen CPUs.
This news was from like 2 weeks ago in Taipei, Taiwan.

thanks for the heads up but yeah it's updated and also doesn't affect the CPU I am planning on buying.

Picked up this motherboard when it went on a similar sale on Woot a month or two ago. The one I got was a revision 1.0 board (which is good imo, it has the nicer Intel network chipset).
The BIOS was very out of date, and even after updating, it has an issue with severe input lag/stuttering which goes away about 10-15 seconds after powering on. Everything seems to work fine after the initial stuttering clears up, and I haven't noticed any issues that carry over into normal operation of the OS. Now that I'm done setting up the machine, I don't notice it any more.
Another thing to keep in mind is the heatsinks and risers are very tall and chunky, and they do make this board incompatible with many coolers (like the Cooler Master Hyper 212 that I tried to migrate over with). Not considering this a negative; it feels like more of a trade-off for all of the extra connectivity/features that this board provides. Still, it's something to keep in mind for your build.

For a little more, I would say jump up to a B850i motherboard, having the PCIe 5.0 GPU slot will help future proof a bit more especially with current gen of GPUs already utilizing it (even if the performance is minimal for now).
