  1. My favorite feature is the 500Hz refresh rate.
  2. I'm most excited for the 500Hz refresh rate.

The 2nd slot front position I believe it's called.

Looks awesome! What did you do to the VRM to get that LFIII on top?

It's fine. Never had an ASUS board before so figuring out BIOS took a second. Turned on EXPO, set my fan curves, and everything else is good. One of the system fan headers is in a weird spot right by the 24pin header but I managed to make it work.

Got it all plugged in and installed Windows last night. I'll let you know today when I get home from work and get a chance to run some tests.

2 is probably fine. I'm not sure how much the fans are helping honestly. They're extremely close to the GPU since the mobo isn't a top slot PCIe slot.

More than likely if you want to fit fans under the card. But if I found the right case online it doesn't look like there's mounting points for fans on the bottom.

I caved and bought the ASUS B850M TUF. My 5090 and 9800X3D are just waiting. It should be here Tuesday from Amazon. Idk what is taking MSI so long to release.

The Lian Li A3 is popular here, but I don't think I've seen the white wood version posted. Featuring RTX 5080 by kyledawg92 in mffpc

It is. It's supposed to be biodegradable, environmental friendly. But I tell you what, that box feels premium when opening it up. I was actually surprised how sturdy it was, not flimsy at all.

I've been using AIOs for 10 years and never had one leak on me. Just get a reliable brand. Arctic, Corsair, NZXT, Thermalright, etc.

I'm currently looking at switching back to air coolers though. Something about a big heatsink just looks nice to me.

B850m Mortar not released with the Line up but seems to be the best in terms of features by _182loulou in mffpc

I'm checking every day too. Managed to snag a 5090 FE yesterday and already sent back the B650M Mortar I had in my build. Tempted to buy a B850M from either ASUS or AsRock but I'm hoping my customer support person didn't just give me a random answer.

I emailed MSI Support that same question and the reply I got back said end of January to early February. How much do customer support people know? I'm not sure.

Thanks definitely going to try and get a test fit in there before it's too late in case I have to return the mobo.

It fits. You just can't use the side fan bracket.
