Maxsun makes some waves in the budget B850M space, but current pricing thwarts a blessing over the competition.
The Maxsun Terminator B850M Pro II is a competent budget AM5 motherboard with a solid feature set with average performance, but its current U.S. pricing make it a tough sell. At $199 it's competitive, but above that, better B850M options are available.
Pros
+Two PCIe 5.0 M.2 sockets
+Quick-release GPU latch
+Updated BIOS
A small step backward compared to the original, but less expensive (on sale) and more competitive.
It sure looks like a ProArt, but it lacks in important areas for a creator board.
If you gaze long into the abyss, the DDR4 also gazes into you.
You can (almost) have it all on B850, but the price creeps into X870 territory
The Promontory 21 chip isn't locked to AMD CPUs in any way, so you can use it with anything.
$500 cost requires serious consideration.
