No complaints. Used it for a new build around Christmas. Board offers plenty of connectivity for my use case and looks great in a white glass case. I've always trusted Asus, and I think it won't be different this time.

The price range I wanted to spend for a new motherboard for my new i9. Didnt need the 2nd video card slot, so this was a good deal. Everything I wanted.

I have an I5 13600K, Samsung 980 Pro 1TB, Corsair, RGB32GB DDR5 6000, GTX-4070, iCUE H150i Capellix and Corsair RM850 PSU. I can get my PC to boot but i have to force it to boot. I have updated bios to 1010 and i can see all drivers are good. When i restart the unit though, it goes to STOP Safe in BIOS and takes forever! I called Asus and was on the phone for 2 hours. I moved my M.2 to another slot changed all settings in Bios according to the tech and nothing. Everyone i see online says just go with MSI. JUST FYI

Dear DavidG,
If the system will not boot up and boot into stop safe in the BIOS, please do the following to resolve the issue. Please verify if the power supply unit, hardrive, RAM and CPU are working properly. If it power on but will not boot up in Windows, please make sure Windows was installed fresh from scratch using our motherboard in order to avoid any software or driver conflict.

Its been a nightmare. First mother, USB ports inop, no power to the gpu, and the user manual is very generic. Second one, I come to found out won't operate without Windows 11 OS. The package box doesnt tell you and have to find out the hardway. I called ASUS and the tech didnt even bother to ask or inform. Very stylish RGB. Itll turn on but dont expect it to work without installing TPM 2.0 Module and Windows 11

Prior to installing this motherboard visit the ASUS website to download the latest bios. Also, I looked at their memory compatibility list. If you are using a LAN or WIFI connection be sure to download the drivers from the asus website. Extract the bios and drivers to a USB drive. After updating the bios I then installed Windows. Good thing it asked me during the install if I had any drivers and I directed it to the USB drive. If I did NOT do this there would have been no way to connect to the internet during the install process. This board works well and no compatibility/install issues with my DDR5 6000hz CL30 G. Skill RAM. I can't give 5 Stars but I would if the price were better.
Great motherboard! Updated it to the latest bios and have had zero issues since…was having some issues with VGA light staying on but after update all is well! Looks great in my white build. If you’re wanting to control the RGB in your build, I suggest SignalRGB instead of all of the ASUS bloatware. Downloading the drivers was simple as well from their website!

This ASUS Motherboard was purchased along with 2 new Corsair 16GB memory modules , and a new Intel i7 CPU. All three of these new components have been installed into my older computer providing new life, (and speed/performance), to my 5 yr old computer. All three were purchased from BB, delivered on time, and picked up at the local BB store - great job BB !

Bought this for my first pc build and to be completely honest it was very easy to work with and preforms amazingly!

Great motherboard for the money . This can handle any of the intel gen 12-14 i9 cpu's right up to i9-14900KS PROVIDED you pay attention to the only potential weak link on this board . VRM cooling is ok but could be better . The problem is that some PCB's are warped slightly and this impacts the contact between the very hot VRM's and the thermal pads under the aluminum heat sinks . This is the only potential negative beyond the THUNDERBOLT 4.0 add on card ....which might work or it might not ! Use with aftermarket water cooled monoblock and your all set

This motherboard makes for a solid all around mid to high range computer build. I've paired it with a 13700kf and 2x16gb DDR5 7000 ram. I actually bought 7200 ram but on the box, it says this motherboard maxes out at 7000. I verified this by struggling to get 7200 stable for a long time before realizing it wasn't supported. I was getting persistent game crashing and one blue screen until I knocked it down one notch to 7000 and now it's perfectly stable. Not the motherboards fault, just user error. However, it is worth noting that it doesn't seem to support the absolute fastest ram which is probably not necessary anyway. Overall, the motherboard is well made and I especially love the tool-less/screw-less m.2 drive installation. Made for a quick and easy building process. The heat shielding for the m.2 drives is a nice touch, albeit likely unnecessary. It comes with sticky thermal pads pre installed; you simply peel and install over the drives. It can be a bit finicky if you don't place it perfectly and it sticks so now you're trying to rip it off of your drives without damaging them to get it seated properly, but it's not the end of the world. Because 13th gen Intel runs so hot I haven't tried overclocking, but I'd imagine this board would handle a modest overclock. The stock performance is already good enough for me that I'm not sure I'll try. I would definitely recommend this motherboard for an i5 or i7 build and I'm sure it would work with an i9. But if you're spending that much anyway, I would probably get a different motherboard with more overkill vrm.
