When I was in-store, this was the only x870 motherboard they had, and also the last one. I don't think this would have been my first choice, but its not bad. I wish there were more than 2 sata ports, and that using the other pcie slots (besides the top x16 interface) wouldn't require disabling the additional nvme slots (I gusss its a lot of pcie lanes, and you need either threadripper or a more expensive chipset controller to share them). USB 4 / thunderbolt is wonderful as well as pcie gen5, glad to see it. It does have WiFi 7, but its only half channel bandwidth, so you're not getting those extreme real world multi-gig speeds. I almost want to throw in a Qualcomm WiFi 7 pcie card just so I can get the full 320mhz width, but plan to add a 10 gigabit NIC instead. The board feels quality and looks good, make sure you disable the armorycrate auto-installer in the UEFI settings, otherwise you'll get that installed by surprise on windows. All Asus mobos seem to include that and enable it by default. Lots of heatsinks for the nvme and cpu power delivery. I haven't tried the "AI overclocking," but the 9900x I paired with this board is plenty fast for multi-threaded workloads. Its a pretty good motherboard for the money, especially considering this generation of AMD motherboards started so expensive.

Great Board - Simple to install - Reminder - Anything in the M.2 Slot-2 Will reduce the PCI Slot 1s bandwidth in half - This will not affect you now - But it will when you get a PCI Gen 5 GPU

Easy to install and the instructions included were straight forward. The quick release tab for the GPU is easily accessible unlike some other boards I've tried. Overall works as expected and I would definitely recommend if you are in the market for a new AM5 socket motherboard.

How to unpack this. The board was to be a replacement board for my x670 tomahawk wifi board. The ethernet port stopped working. This new board, well i expected improved performance with a Ryzen 9 7800 cpu and with all the ssd's i had installed, but that was not too be. From power up to the Windows login screen, it was about 2 minutes, and i would see some noticeable drop-off in performance when i would play games at 4k. Turns out the PCIe 5x16 shared a lane with the M.2_2 slot, so if you don't want that drop in video performance, don't use that M.2 slot. I got my x670 board back and swapped it out, and the boot times were much shorter[20-30 seconds], and preformance was better. I fiddled with the bios as suggested on the asus site, and nothing really changed[adjusted memory frequency, memory context restore, removing the M.2_2 ssd,etc]. Not sure I can return it since I've used it, so I'll just keep it as a spare backup board. But it's not the best board I've ever purchased, and for the price, i probably should have stuck with an MSI board. They have not disappointed me.

Works great with the updated features for X870 like USB4 and WiFi 7 for the latest Zen 9800X3D CPU.
CPU runs cool, BIOS is easy to navigate and make changes. Lots of m.2 slots although using the 2nd m.2 will split your PCIe 5.0 x16 slot to x8/x8.
I would skip Armoury Crate though unless you really need some feature or want to control RGB and fanspeed and don't have a different system to do it.

Coming from a 5600G to a 7800X3D with the AM5 upgrade has basically removed all my CPU bottlenecks. AM5 is the way to go now and this board works for that job

Worked when MSI failed. The only problem I had which isn't much of one now after upgrading my sound was no optical audio port. And could use a few more usbs

Bought this board(TUF) when I thought my STRIX board went bad, turned out to be a power supply issue. The board has been great but has minor issue of after waking PC from sleep the ethernet doesn't work and system falls back to Wi-Fi. I like ASUS boards.

Anytime you buy a motherboard/CPU/RAM combination and everything works without a single issue, right out of the box, that's a five star day. This has been a rock solid motherboard with a 9700X CPU and Corsair DDR5.
