What platform? Newegg has some lly solid deals for B550M boards and Microcenter kills it with B650M open box stuff.

i have a B850 right now, would like to get a B850M. i haven't spent enough time reading if i even need that. i mostly just want to avoid any kind of rail sharing for my GPU & SSDs, and i want one of the better audio codecs. i use Ryzen 7 7800X3D & RTX 5060 right now. Gigabyte B850 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 MOBO.

You could get an X870M motherboard like the Gigabyte X870M Aorus Elite WiFi7. One of the M.2 slots connected to the chipset. One of them shares a rail with the GPU, but the other one is on the chipset. The SATA connections also are connected to the chipset. Has the Realtek® ALC1220 CODEC. But it's $360.
