20 years of ASUS motherboards - Never dissapointed
5+ builds in 20 years and ASUS motherboards have never let me down. Once again my most recent board is my new favorite. Bios is packed with settings and options for all user types. You can set it and forget it Auto PBO/EXPO Tweak and be good to go in minutes. Or you could spend days tweaking a million different ways. Works great with 7800x3d and 6000mt/s ram kit. This particular board is also one of the nicest white boards available which is just a nice bonus. If you are looking at the 800 chipset this is top notch. WIFI + PCIE5 GPU + PCIE5 nvme. Love this board.
