I see AMI BIOS, not AMD.
Not a bad looking board but I didn't see a LED read out, which I always like to have to assist with errors.

Not a bad looking board, glad more vendors are putting out white boards in the game. May replace my Asus with this one.

I agree, really nice 200 ish board let down by not having decent trouble shooting features.

Pretty decent board for the price indeed. I'm looking to see if I replace mine, some of the Z590 are looking a bit expensive. This Steel Legend for 200$ inc Wifi6 looks like a deal.

My old Fatal1ty K6 has the debug LED. I think the Steel Legend is the same grade as that. Too bad they ditch the useful LED.

Guessing you mean bottom right but yeah I see the leds now. Not sure if it was just an early manual I was looking at but there is no mention of any troubleshooting features in it.

Finally found them after failing to find the digital readout I prefer, the "Camo" colour scheme doesn't help.
I guess they are better than nothing, but would it hurt their bottom line to include the digital version?
