The board is a little bit basic but absolutely gets the job done. I've been running an 5700 X3D with RX 6800xt for a gaming machine and it has been rock solid.
I've had the ATX version of this board. Ran my 5900X and 5950X well, now has a 3700X in it that I gave away to a nephew and niece. Still running great.
should it be free at this point? i mean, it's an old platform.
I'm rocking AM4 and it's great.
5700X3D, ASRock B450 itx, 2x16gb 3600 (OC'd to 3733 and tightened sub timings), 9070 XT, 2TB GM7000.
I load just as fast and game better than my friend with a 7800X3D & 7900. I think $80 is a fair price if somebody has an old CPU and plans to use Wi-Fi. I wouldn't be building new on it or anything, but it's a great recipient for old parts.

What rock you been living under? AM4 is on full comeback due to the high price of DDR5 . 5800X3D's are going for $1000 right now! The 2 5800XT's I bought last year for $159 have appreciated to $240 now

Relevant, yes. I don't think I would invest in it at this point though, unless I already had all of the components needed to complete the build, and was just looking for a motherboard replacement/upgrade. Realistically, the platform has zero future for development.

Cool, so we agree, AM4 is still relevant.
