One of the tasks of this motherboard is to raise the level of performance , quality, material, and image on the screen, in relation to other motherboards and Asus has achieved it. It's fantastic, everything works at a higher level. Excellent Product.

Needed to upgrade from a 390 and the 790 hero was my choice and a great choice it was. Very simple set-up instructions. However the only issue i ran into was the huge amounts of updates needed. Still recieving 5 stars for design and quality

Very overpriced for what you get. Ended up returning the board and going with a cheaper board. Nothing wrong with it, but you just don’t need a $700+ MB, even with a 13900k
Go and buy the strix instead

Bought this motherboard after trying to replace another one that was dead on arrival. Tried to get this thing installed in my system, bent CPU pins right from the get-go. Dead on arrival. If not for the bent pins, this mobo would probably have been completely fine, and Asus is still a solid brand that has great customer service. Unfortunately, I just happened to get unlucky. This board is also obscenely expensive for what you’re actually getting. You can find a perfectly suitable board for your Intel chip for like $200-$300 cheaper. It’s only saving graces are it’s wide product compatibility and general aesthetics with some awesome rgb lighting on the top left side. If you really want this board, go for it, but don’t even consider getting it unless you have cash to spare.

This motherboard has been working for me now problem. The only thing I had to do was install the network drivers and other various drivers because the computer wouldn’t connect to the internet on first startup.
