    Frustrating experience with this board...

    This is a tough review to write. I am very happy with the quality of the product and am very fond of ASUS overall. This board is no exception. What I am unhappy about is this... I purchased an I9-10850K as my processor for this board. I have been unable to get this board to work with any memory, including that listed on their web page as being 100% verified, to work properly on this board or the two others that I exchanged (exact same model). I bought this board to with desire to moderately overclock. I'm unable to OC the CPU or Memory. I've contacted ASUS and they tell me to RMA or exchange board. Every DIMM location works singularly. After trying 10+ different memory brands and speeds (including 2 exact matches from their verified memory list) I've given up and feel I've been cheated to be honest. I will say this is the ONLY bad experience I've had with ASUS and to be fair... I took this one step further and had the same issue with MSI so I don't know what the deal is but when you spend over 1k on a board, processor and memory you should be able to get it to work as described.

    LOTS OF PROBLEMS - BUYER BEWARE

    I purchased this motherboard along with all approved parts. It came up with numerous error codes. I tried to trouble shoot all the codes to no avail. I thought that I had a bad motherboard so I returned it to the store for another board and had the same codes. I then tried replacing the RAM, a new CPU, a new Power supply and was never able to get it to work. I called ASUS tech support and they told me that it was my RAM or my CPU that was not functioning. At this point, I switched to a MSI board and put all the components on and it worked. Iv never had problems with ASUS products in the past, but this one is just a poorly constructed board that has a history of problems (do your research). Stay away from this to avoid yourself some headaches.

    BE AWARE OF I225 LAN ISSUES

    For the price you pay, you'd think you'd be getting everything set and ready to go. I was excited for this board, no doubt. Popped everything in, ran my benchmarks and everything was great! Until I actually started to game. I noticed I was lagging profusely, high ping and extreme packet loss almost within 3-5 min intervals. Why would I ever assume it was my motherboard, right? I even called my internet provider to come and check out our cables and signals to make sure everything was tight and running. They came and said everything was fixed and I should be good to go. Signed back on, still lagging. I was beyond frustrated at this point, on wifi it was great, but I never play on wifi. I'm always hardlined through ethernet. So I did some digging on my the ethernet port of my this motherboard, and what I found was exactly what I was looking for. Hundreds of other owners of this board experienced what I was going through! The 2.5g ethernet port (Intel I225 2.5Gbe LAN) has a problem with connectivity stability, known to cap some users at 100mbps or in my case sever packet loss. I would recommend staying away from this board if your preference is hardlined through ethernet. If you play on wifi, enjoy it, its a great board. Just know, if you decide to pop an ethernet port in, good luck.

      Dear Valued Customer,

      It's unfortunate to hear about your issue with the LAN port, this must be frustrating. I will be letting the related department know about the issues you are experiencing for continuous improvements to the product line. Have you tried to update the drivers or re-install? Usually, this could be due to EMI interference. Please ensure that the cable is not close to any electrical component that will interfere with the signal. For further troubleshooting, feel free to reach out to me at customerloyalty@asus.com and provide this link for reference. I'll do my best to provide a quick resolution to your case. Your feedback is important as it helps with improvements to ASUS Support channels.
