whats so wrong with the board, not enough M.2 options?
vrm stuff just look mediocre at a glance, i like to wait for the high end cpus to be valueless 10 years later and run those. and yeah i rather have another m.2 than more pci lanes i rarely use.
If you don't mind used component, I've gotten 16gb ddr4 on marketplace for $25 in this ramagedon time.
This chip and motherboard use DDR5 and cannot use DDR4.
The last/best CPU to support DDR4 was the 14900k on Z790/Z690 DDR4 boards.
Anyways I agree with the other comments, this is not a good motherboard, and the bundle not coming with RAM means you shouldnt buy it. Buy one of the Microcenter bundle deals with RAM
I'm wondering if this is an attempt from MC to make people stop selling this CPU and Motherboard on Marketplace/eBay and either keeping the 16GB RAM for them self or sell the RAM separately for a small profit.
board is very meh but so slick i might buy it and wait on ram to drop in price
Not sure if you are following the stock market, but the AI market has completely took over RAM, memory. They forecast the shortage will last for at least 2 more years.
I picked up this up at Tustin, CA store today. The box they use the pair this is an OEM custom box from Microcenters. Inside the box, It has motherboard and CPU installed into the board. Additionally, they come with accessories such as antenna for wifi, rear shims, screws, and stickers. $200 for this is a steal. CPU alone is worth more than $200.

did you have to flash the bios? all the complaints in the reviews are strange, maybe they started updating the bios at the factory

Would make no real world difference.
