    So I got lucky and scored a Asus Strix ROG RTX 3080 and had to change to team blue shortly after to handle the power so I put this motherboard to complete my setup and oh my what a great beautiful board this is!

    I purchased this motherboard as a replacement to another one that was defective from MSI. Asus has always been my Go To. This board is great for day to day use. It has good features for overclocking, however, I don't personally use that functionality.

    No functioning onboard LAN device

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Onboard LAN device has no functioning drivers. If you get this, expect to have to use its WiFi adapter to connect to the internet. And apparently this goes for multiple boards from ASUS, this is the second board I've tried from them to have the exact same issue. Even the Geek squad remote viewed my system and couldn't fix it. I spent a week searching the internet only to find this is a problem a lot of people are having with no solution. Try all you want with the supplied disc or driver direct from their site, the driver will not install. If you want a wired connection, you'll have to buy an aftermarket PCI card. ASUS has zero customer support and using the WuFlu to justify not having one.

    I had purchased a cheaper motherboard but some of the pins in the CPU slot were bent so I had to return it. They didn't have anything Intel in stock except for this and I needed it so I could finish building my PC for school the next week. At first I was annoyed at spending so much for a motherboard but I absolutely love it. Looks great, cooling is very nice with how many heat pipes and everything it has, runs everything very smoothly, plenty of room for anything you want to add to it, comes with some nice goodies in the box like a keychain and stickers to help with cable management, BIOS was fairly simple compared to others I've used. Super solid motherboard for any gamer.

    can't complain about this motherboard. I'm a casual gamer so i could've gotten something cheaper but there's not much variety from best buy right now. (i financed a big portion of my pc build) the VRM fan never turns on, basically is only for people who are doing major overclocking. You have to put your graphics card on the first pcie slot which covers the ROG RGB, pretty dumb design in my opinion. IO shield preinstalled, easy access to fan headers and all that good stuff. i like when the q code is done on the start up code readings, it reads your CPU temp. if you don't know a lot of the stuff like i did, watch youtube and research, go into the rabbit hole.

    This was in the bundle with the i7-10700k and I have no complaints. This is a great motherboard with good power delivery to the CPU. The RGB elements look great and aren't over the top.

    I did a lot of research on mobos before nailing down on the Asus z490e. Most attractive feature for me was the amount of USB ports. The bios is simple to use and update.

    Overall a great product but it’s overpriced. I love the quality, lights and the q-code which helped me fix a few things during my build. Setup was easy and packaging was great. Only dislike is it’s not budget friendly.

    As the title says: very expensive, but has almost everything you could want. It's also pretty large, you might have issues with RAM clearance in tight cases with a radiator at the top. Mine is juuuuuuust barely clearing the RAM and if I had large heatsinks and/or LEDs on the RAM it probably would not, so definitely look at lower profile RAM. Bluetooth seems rather weak, but I've also only really tried it with like two devices. Haven't really used the WiFi because I'm not a scrub.
