Our take, AM5 motherboards cost too much.

for what it´s worth my reasons why i don´t update my AM4 boards yet.
my oldest mainboard is a crosshair hero from 2017.
it´s running perfectly stable under full load 24/7 if needed.
that system would be the most likely candidate for an update as it runs the oldest mainboard and it has earned it´s cost back.
but i don´t need all the I/O and gimmicks of the x670 chipset. it´s a renderslave.
it was my first voyage into AMD again, after years of intel (after K6 and Athlon XP).
i wanted an upper end mainboard at that time, as it was going to be one of my mainsystem.
but my two mainsystems are now threadrippers.
so when switching to AM5 i want boards that run stable and don´t cost more than 180 euro.
another reason is that i want the teethings issued fixed and the mainboards polished. i guess the next iteration of AM5 boards will offer that.
if i only had one AM4 system i sure would be more tempted to update.
i always liked to be on the latest and greatest (if the price is reasonable .. a RTX 4090 is not).
