Hi,
=

AM5 works pretty well in general but there are some issues you might
w=
ant to be aware of. As mentioned this
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/s=
how_bug.cgi?id=3D272507 seems to
plauge various models and BIOS versions.=
 I'm not sure it's the same
for B650 series as I only have one data point=
 being ASRock B650M PG
WiFi running Beta BIOS 1.30.AS02/AGESA 1.0.0.7c wh=
ich according to the
reporter works fine. As far as WIFI goes most uses "=
AMD RZ616" which
is a Mediatek controller and unsupported however there's=
 work being
done bringing in the mt76 driver that should to my knowledge =
support
this controller. Regarding ethernet you more or less have three=

options using the builtin controllers, Intel i225-V, Realtek RTL8125BG=

or Marvell AQC113(C). Intel works out of the box using 14.0, no idea
a=
bout Realtek but I suspect that you need to use the port to get it
going =
and the Marvell controller lacks a driver. There's a NetBSD
developer hac=
king on a driver if you're interested getting that going
by porting it, h=
ttps://github.com/ryo/aquantia .=20

A word of advice, you'll need a beef=
y CPU cooler for the 95W+ "rated"
CPUs as they boost very aggressively an=
d mid-sized air cooler might
cause it to throttle. Most Asus boards also =
supports ECC memory which
can be a nice feature.

Here's a good round=
-up of most if not all available models.

https://docs.google.com/sprea=
dsheets/d/1NQHkDEcgDPm34Mns3C93K6SJoBnua-x9O-y_6hv8sPs/edit#gid=3D0

I'=
m personally happy with my ASUS ProArt X670E-CREATOR with 128Gb of
ECC me=
mory (4 x MTC20C2085S1EC48BR) however be aware that you'll see
much slowe=
r memory clocks with 4 memory sticks especially dual rank
due to how DDR5=
 and current memory controllers works. Using the latest
BIOS available as=
 of writing (1710) breaks SATA and USB among a few
other things while 160=
2 works fine.

Best regards,

Daniel
