Cheapest price I could find for this motherboard, solid option if you're hoping to pick up a cheaper 5000 series processor now that Intel has released alder lake.

I have the X570 (no S) and it's a pretty decent board, no real issues with it from a hardware perspective.
Be warned though, Dragon Centre is a flaming pile of dog shit that has a real nasty habit of Repeatedly installing PUA/bloatware on your system EVERY TIME YOU OPEN IT, no matter how many times you uninstall it. So provided you do 90% of the work through Bios or other programs, you should be sweet.
Also Umart customer service is pretty garbage to. If the board does go bust for whatever reason you are pretty much SOL and will need to go more or less through the manufacturer who probably won't abide by ACL.
Great hardware on this deal, rubbish everything else.
Nice - this is the price it was going for at Centrecom during their Halloween sale, towards the end of which Umart had them at $315, the cheapest I've seen them. If you don't need the WIFI, Centrecom has the Torpedo going for $299 (https://www.centrecom.com.au/msi-mag-x570s-torpedo-max-am4-a…) that has a second ethernet port (2.5G) too, but one less M.2 drive heatsink. Otherwise identical except for colour.
