to what extent the problems have been resolved with bios updates, i don't know.
the google summary says: AM5 asus boards had high SOC voltages that could damage CPUs, boot inconsistencies, memory training problems leading to long boot times, and BIOS freezing. i wouldn't trust an AI summary, but that does mirror what I was reading on enthusiast websites all through AM5 adoption

This [newegg.com] is closer to what you want, but I'd check the motherboard spreadsheet [google.com] to verify it has what you want. Though something to note is that at this price point you still only get LED instead of Post Codes.
I'd say the microcenter board is slightly better but I'd avoid paying the extra premium for Wifi 7 boards if you can help it.
By that logic, would slapping a $600 price tag on it make it a high end board?
