    Great mobo with lots of well thought out features. The heat sinks are nice and beefy but even if you feel it isn’t enough they also include a fan and bracket to provide further cooling for the heat sinks. I love that the IO shield is built in, I hate having to deal with this thin plates when switching cases or mobos but that is not an issue at all with this mobo!

    Solid Mobo, good feature selection, good price and decent power delivery. I'm running this with my 10900K and I have had no problems with this board delivering enough juice to hold a 5.1 ghz all core clock. Good expandability internally and externally, though you can get slightly better ethernet (both faster and better drivers) or more USB expandability. Only issue I had was some issues with Asus' software to help update and control the mobo.

    Excellent board paired with 10900k or a 10600k. Can’t go wrong with either. Memory overclocking could be better. If you need that get a board with only 2 memory slots and has D.dimm for nvme drives. This is a great board. Yes th ASUS taxis there. This is a great choice. Can’t wait for 11th gen and actually get PCIE gen 4 actually working.

    Finicky on RAM XMP Settings. Don't just think it will work out of the box with any RAM @ default settings. Do your homework and buy compatible RAM and take your time. Once it's up-and-running it's solid with many features (wifi, ethernet, bluetooth, integrated GPU). There are probably better options for the impatient.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Dear RockFreedom,

      I'm sorry to hear that you had XMP issues with your motherboard. All ASUS products undergo intensive quality control, testing and inspections. What you've experienced was not intentional or representative of our brand. I understand that you have the board up and running, but can you please send me to model number of your RAM kit? I'd like to verify it is on the QVL to make sure there are no compatibility issues. Please reach out to me at [email protected] and include case #N2012083885 in your email for reference.

      Thank you for choosing ASUS!

      Best regards,
