Verdict

The ASRock X670E Steel Legend is a mid-range ATX motherboard designed for the AMD AM5 platform, featuring a robust 16+2+1 power phase design with 60A Smart Power Stages and an 8-layer PCB. Key specifications include support for DDR5 memory up to 7600+(OC), a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for graphics, and four M.2 sockets—one of which is a 'Blazing' PCIe 5.0 slot. It offers extensive connectivity with dual LAN (2.5GbE and 1GbE), Wi-Fi 6E, and a rear I/O packed with 12 USB ports, including a 20Gbps Type-C. Main pros include its future-proof PCIe 5.0 support, excellent USB connectivity, and included GPU support bracket, offering strong value for an X670E board. Notable cons are the limited four SATA ports, the lack of a dedicated heatsink for the M.2 slot directly beneath the GPU, and the absence of onboard power/reset buttons for easier troubleshooting.
