Software

Q: Does this has Wifi? Thanks

A: Hi, This particular model does not have Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi version of this motherboard is a bit more expensive and isn't available on Best Buy that I have seen. I stuck to this particular board because I didn't really need the Wi-Fi connectivity considering I run my computer wired straight to the router. Great motherboard! I would highly recommend if Wi-Fi is not necessary.

Q: Would this support a Ryzen 9 5900x ?

A: Yes, it supports all AM4 socket AMD processors up to and including the 5950x.

Q: I want to buy this. When will it be available?

A: Many computer components are out of stock right now I don't know when this specific one will be available however I do know many system components are expected to return to stock between now and mid June. As Production in China begins to return to normal.

Q: Would you be able to overclock an AMD Ryzen 9 3900x

A: Yes. Easy to overclock multi core to 4.0/4.1 and even up to 4.3 with a single core clock of 4.7/4.8. I have a 3700X on this mobo but my other Asus mobo has the 3900X so I'm familiar both the Mobo and CPU.

Q: Is this motherboard compatible with a Ryzen 9 5900X? If so does it need a bios update?

A: I use it with my 5800x and all I needed to do was update the bios

Q: when will this be back in stock?

A: It''ll be in stock June 30th on Amazon.

Q: Does this board have the Intel NIC or Realtek? Is there bluetooth integrated?

A: Realtek® RTL8125-CG 2.5G LAN. You will have to get the WIFI version of this motherboard to get bluetootth.

Beast of motherboard!
I am happy about my purchase as I upgraded from Asus TuF gaming plus to this motherboard. I paired it with a Ryzen 9 5900x, 3090 FE, G.Skill 64gb at 15 CAS 3600mhz, EVGA 850 and a Corsair h110 AIO 240. This is a beast with all the features that support my overclocking needs and more. Great product and would recommend.

Excellent board for overclockers and enthusiasts
Purchased this motherboard to replace my MSI motherboard for my new Ryzen build and it has not disappointed. Excellent features for overclocking like high quality VRMs, clear cmos, safe boot, board mounted power and reset buttons, trouble shooting leds, Q code display and even a small hole in the cpu socket for inserting a temp probe. Easy to use and very high quality!

Great Motherboard with lots of features!
I bought this motherboard to go along with my Ryzen 9 5950X, 32GB of DDR4-3600 RAM, and a Samsung 980 PRO Gen4 m.2 ssd. This thing is an absolute dream. Between the flashback feature, diagnostic display, and great power delivery - this thing was a breeze to setup. No fiddling with DDR4 timings, just select your DOCP Overclock and go! Also much of the features are "Set up and forget" in that they don't require additional software to be used. These are things like fan curves, overclocking, PBO boosts, and automatically switching between PBO and a static overclock based on power load. Since I use Linux, this was crucial. Most configuration software tends to be Windows only.
