What reviewers say about the B650E Steel Legend WiFi
One whitelisted hands-on review survived verification: Tom's Hardware, which bench-tested the board on a Ryzen 9 7950X. It found the board performed well in its benchmark suite and overclocked easily, but faulted the board for having only two SATA ports, a dated Realtek ALC897 audio codec, and a $269 price higher than the competition. All quantitative measurements and the second source (TechPowerUp) were dropped because they could not be confirmed in the fetched page text.

ASRock's B650E Steel Legend did well in our benchmarking suite and overclocked our Ryzen 9 7950X with ease.
But it's short a couple of SATA ports and we'd prefer an updated audio codec, especially since the $269 price is higher than the competition.
