I'm planning to purchase an AM5 rig to retire my long running Ryzen7 1700 rig(since 2014) which is mainly used as a virtualization host (homelab) 24x7

was wondering which motherboard vendor is most sought after nowadays if I'm looking towards an AM5 cpu ? I'm currently on Asus Crosshair VI Hero which has been a worthy work horse so far. But I've also came across the debacle from Jayz and GN about Asus's treatment on AM5 platform recently hence I'm not sure which would be a better alternative.

Not to mention the options on retail seems to be way limited either..

I'm looking at 7900 for now , since I need the core counts for my workload ..
