Anyone have any experience with this Asrock Livemixer ?

I like it because of the amount of USB 3+. It isn't carried by my local MC. It is going in a Hyte Y70 touch which should be shipping soon. If anyone has either an Asus or Gig Mobo with lots of USB, I would also be interested.
Thanks for any input

I have PSU, GPU already. Beside the new case I'll need DDR5 (64GB)and a new 4TB M.2 bundle if I can find it.

The lack of prime shipping indicates it's coming from China or wherever.

I get back from vacation Thursday. I may have some solid motherboard options that fit your needs and will reach out then if you want.

The info in the link says that Las Vegas.
I would still wait for what ED will find as he reviews some nice mobos and maybe will get you something good at a reasonable price.

For me, all these ASRock Livemixer or similar mobos are more like budget series with eye-catching heatsinks and flashy paintings. This is what I see from looking at the specs and general design. Their price is also quite low, but this is because of what I already said. Nothing is wrong with stability or compatibility, but if you look at additional controllers, there is nothing above standard, and sometimes it's below standard.

If you need many USBs, just buy a PCIe card/controller or USB hub. I doubt you run a lot of devices at full speed, and every modern motherboard has at least 4 USB 3.2 ports.

Thanks..
Yeah I have a hub and it is a good one. I need more and typically I can never fit a PCI card in. My gpus take up the space. I am looking forward to Joe's advice.

This doesn't have to be a performance build I just need USB 3.0 and a lot of them so I don't have wires running all over my desk.

Trust me though... I have built enough PC'S to know what I need.

The Livemixer I think I will use for a new SIL/Daughter build in their Lian Li Lancool 2 mesh as its ancient(The Mobo,CPU not the case).(#2 in my sig) If I don't sell my 3080 RTX (Classified) I'll donate it to them and sell their 3070 Ti.

EDIT: I just noticed the Livemixer should handle 2 GPU's they can pay the electric this winter to keep their G piggy's warm.(f@h)
