Chill Experiment: ASRock B650M HDV/M.2

This is the first AM5 motherboard in the US that was available at retail for $125 + tax. We all want to know if it&awful or decent, so I bought one. There isn&a lot of testing I can do, but here&what I could get out in a rush today (the board just arrived around 4PM). As usual, before I get too far in, I&like to ask something that&important to me. Please consider helping out your local food banks, churches, etc, that offer assistance for the less fortunate in your area. Not everyone can afford these things, and we should share our blessings. Something I forgot to mention in the video: The board is NOT square. Specs of the build: Ryzen 9 7950X 32GB GSKILL Flare X5 6000 CL30 DDR5 ASRock B650M-HDV/M.2 Motherboard NVIDIA RTX 3070 8GB (from an HP) EVGA 1000W P3 Platinum PSU Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1TB NVME SSD Cardboard Box Open Air Case Since the VRM temperature sensors either do not exist, or HWINFO can&read them, I had to depend on what the CPU behavior to see if they hold up. I haven&put together a test setup for this kind of thing (and probably won't). about 36,000-37,000 CB23 points seems pretty good at stock. I ran that for about 5 minutes and didn&see throttling, so for most people&uses, it shoudl be fine. In fact, it was around 4.8GHz most of the time. In the lower power ECO modes, I don&expect the board to struggle. My end plan, if I keep this, is to throw one of the 65W parts in it
