Finished building out my new pc recently & this MoBo is just a beauty. Built in I/O shield, 4 M.2 slots, sleek design + RGB & more. Exactly what you need out of a motherboard at such a great price.

Many features included onboard. Make sure you upgrade the bios and firmware prior to installing OS to have all features up to date. Mobo DOES NOT come with wifi/bluetooth capabilities so you will need an adapter or pcie card.

Great MOBO

Was going to go with the Gigabyte Elite but chose the Asus after reading some feedback on the Gigabyte. Glad I picked this. It got up and running with windows 11 without issue. It sacrifices a couple sata ports and WiFi. I only have a couple SSDs and I always go wired so this was not an issue. But it's something to consider if you're looking at MOBOs.

Ethernet port failures

The ethernet port died within a year. Luckily it was still under warranty. However, ASUS was unable to repair it, so they sent me a replacement. The ethernet port on the replacement died within a month. Not only was I unable to use my computer for the three weeks it took them to send a replacement, I also had to purchase another copy of Windows since my original Windows was OEM and tied to the original motherboard. Based on additional research, it looks like the ASUS boards are notorious for ethernet port failures. I need a reliable motherboard, so I switched to MSI.
