Great board
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great motherboard with lots of features. Comes with a pre-installed IO shield which is nice. My only complaint is that I wish the USB3.2 and C headers were at the bottom of the board rather than the side. Makes cable management a little funky with some cases since the 24 pin connector is right next to it.

Excellent
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely no complaints....well if I did have 1 it would be that after installation the RGB led's would stay lit even after shutting down, that can be easily fixed by going into bios however. WIFI, Bluetooth and instillation is smooth. and the thermals are above par when running a high end gpu on ultra.

Check I225-v revision if you buy this board
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I only have one issue with this motherboard. There is something wrong the ethernet controller I225-V revision on this board. You could either send the board back and hope the new one is a newer revision without the issue or buy a PCI-e NIC. I didn't want to go through the hassle of sending mine back so I just bought a NIC and the issue is solved.

Great product
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my first build and I am so far impressed with this motherboard. Although I would have liked to see better watertight packaging. It rained when it was delivered and it was put on the ground away from the house so it was soaked. It made me nervous if the product was effected since the box wasn't wrapped.

Amazing MB
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Remember this motherboard needs Intel gen 10th. So if you get a Intel 7 9070 won't work

Bad Build Quality
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros: Looks like a quality board coming out of the box. Nice lighting when it is all setup in the case . You get a nice set accessories and has a good array of ports I/O. Cons: This is the second motherboard I have had to buy for my current build. The original Asus board I got had issues with it's functionality. I was brand loyal and upgraded to this board. The major problem I ran into was even getting the board to boot. It would recognize all of the components attached, i.e. keyboard mouse hard drive, but would only error out. Ended up calling Asus to see if they had an answer and all they could come up with was, it had a faulty USB port on the motherboard and needed to be returned as defective. If you plan on a new build pass on as Asus board. They are not the quality they had once been.

Great board
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ethernet is rough on this board something about the adapter makes it so I have to disable and enable the adapter each time I shut down the computer. It’s a power save “feature” that can be turned off. Other than that great board.

Great Motherboard, Amazing IO
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Has practically every feature I wanted and more IO and storage options than I currently have space for in my case. Pre-installed IO shield is great. Only thing I wish it had was a metal backplate under the board as with some other Asus boards have.

Solid motherboard
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm a longtime Asus ROG fan. This motherboard is great: connected I/O plate, integrated Wifi & Bluetooth, & easy to navigate BIOS. Only improvements would be to add a start button, and relocate post codes from the bottom left (odd place to put it).

Great mobo.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have always been impressed with the ASUS Strix line of products, and this mobo is no different. Installed i9 10850k with ease, and memory/SSD support is top notch. No problems overclocking the CPU to 5GHz. Thanks ASUS for another quality product.

Faulty screw
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Finally got all the parts to put my PC together just to find out a screw at the top of the motherboard holding the IO in place is faulty, ended up just leaving the screw behind and letting the slight offset be. Wish they had better product control but the PC works so I can't complain 4 stars.

Mobo
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A bit of trouble shooting at first, but over all great mobo. The slots for the nvme's are convenient, and having the number display for error codes cuts down by days if you have any down time. Been great to me for almost a year.

It worked when MSI didn't.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.During a new build, the motherboard I started with was showing a cpu error light. I tried a different cpu and received the same error light. That lead me to try this board. It was a lot more expensive but, it worked. That's what matters.

Excellent Z490 Motherboard
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Been using it for a bit over two months without problems. I ran into an issue on initial setup where I couldn't use my wired connection until I did a driver update. Only complain is could use more than two chassis fan headers.

Great practical motherboard
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was happy to see that my local best buy had this in stock when I needed it. it has almost all the headers I needed, could have used one more usb 3.0 though. They're all conveniently placed. The UEFI is intuitive and will rate your cpu cooler and CPU and automatically overclock it accordingly

Motherboard
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty good motherboard. First install was kind of a hassle. Several drivers were missing and required internet (internet drivers were missing) to get them so I had to find a separate pc, download then to a flash drive and manually install them. Haven’t had any issues since.

Great motherboard for a great pc
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great motherboard. Only issue is that the Bluetooth antenna is part of the WiFi antenna, a fact that is never explained in the documentation. Install the antenna if you want to use anything further than 3 feet away from the PC.

Great motherboard
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A dream motherboard, upgraded to this when I got my 10th gen i9 coming off of my 7th gen i7. Does everything I need it do even has a VRM fan if you want to do some overclocking. 2x m.2 ports which is nice.

Coolio!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good lawd, this is fast, efficient and seems to be the most stable of the three I've tested. Granted this Motherboard is going to obsolete in a few months but was so glad to get this at this price point, worth the wait.

Good Value
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really have no complaints so far...except for maybe the Aura Sync software for RGB lighting randomly dropping in and out. Install was easy enough with good documentation from ASUS. BIOS is easy to navigate and use.
