   Great Motherboard
   Amazing motherboard! I didn’t expect it to be big but it has a lot of options compared to your standard ATX motherboard, absolutely no issues, motherboard also looks premium. The drivers are also simple to install thanks to their ASUS driver hub that downloads the required drivers from a browser, which is really cool and convenient! WIFI and speeds are pretty great as well.Although I eventually switched from ATX to Mini-ITX to make my PC build smaller, as my pc was too heavy to carry, even my standing desk couldn’t raise itself because of the case!

   Great Mobo
   This Mobo supports my 9800x3d, it comes in a great box, it does everything you need it to do. It is sturdy and easy placed into your standard ATX case. The boot time for the first time is really slow, cause it does a RAM check, that can take 2-15 minutes (this is only on the first time and everytime you lose power).I love this board, no more sata garbage

   Would not recommend, I’m not the only one that has had serious issues
   I have had nothing but issues with certain features on this motherboard since I got it, Asus Support pretty much gave me 2 possible solutions, I tried both while in chat support with them, and after they both failed to fix the issues, their answer was “RMA it” – like I can afford to have down time on my only PC lolThings that are great about this board:ECLK OCing on the CPU works well, I have a 7800X3D in it currently and I can push an extra ~200MHz over the normal 5025MHz max boost a 7800X3D has, without issues, and it’s stable.The software suite – some hate Asus Armory Crate, and I used to be one of those people on older generations of their software, but it’s better now in my opinion. RGB control is pretty good, the different settings you can use are quite nice, I in particular like Starry Night with the background set to off/black, and the colors set to Random, looks pretty awesome. Fan control is also very good, you can set each fan header to it’s own curve, and control that curve with multiple temperatures at once (so if the CPU or GPU gets hot, you can have the fans ramp up based off both of those at the same time, so whether you’re gaming or doing something CPU intensive, the fans will ramp up).The Q-Release slots are nice, no more having to try & get that stupid GPU-slot lock to pop off so you can get your GPU out.Before we get in to the bad, I should note I use this system for a combination of rendering (which is why the 9950X3D is an incoming upgrade) and gaming.What were the issues I am having you ask?Well, apparently it’s all related, at least partially, to RAM settings/clocks, BUT the primary issue is that the 2nd & 3rd M.2 slot are completely messed up unless I run the system with NO XMP/DOCP/EXPO settings, and even then if I manually tune the RAM, it STILL happens randomly. This has happened with two different RAM kits of different sizes, I had a 2x16GB CL30 6000MHz kit, and I’m not running a 2x48GB kit that I have set to CL30 at 6000MHz as well. Sometimes the 2nd & 3rd M.2 slots will just not work at all, sometimes they’ll run at PCIe 1.0 x4 (which in case you didn’t know, is BASICALLY physical HDD speeds, less than 500MB/s maximum speed). If I enable the EXPLICIT setting in the BIOS to ENABLE both of those M.2 slots & set the GPU slot to x8 speed … it disables both slots & still sets the GPU slot to x8 speed. If I enable the setting to DISABLE the slots and set the GPU slot to x16, it will still show them as being accessible half the time. Any time I set the RAM speed to what it should be (6000MHz) those 2 M.2 slots will randomly appear or disappear from one power up to the next – sometimes from one REBOOT to the next. This has happened across multiple BIOS updates, including 2 BIOSes that Asus said would “fix the issue” later on.I went back to Asus because I wanted to give them another chance after the whole debacle they’ve had with poor customer service etc in past years – now I’m regretting ever making that decision. I will be purchasing a different motherboard (liikely an Asrock Taichi) at some point in combination with a 9950X3D, at which point I’ll be RMAing this motherboard with Asus, and reselling the replacement as I want nothing to do with it.I highly recommend NOT purchasing this motherboard, if you search Asus Support forums, I am not the only one that has experienced these issues, there’s dozens of other users on there that have experienced the same things, and who knows how many others that just “haven’t noticed” because they’re not trying to use all 5 M.2 slots.

   Bought this board because all of its extra PCIe lane (I have 3 NVME drives and 3 SATA drives), and this model allows multiple slots to run at full speed.* Zen 5 CPU (9000) works right out of the box without any BIOS update.* G.SKILL Trident 6000Mhz 32×2 kit has EXPO enabled without any issue* plenty of USB ports that I don’t think I’ll run out againThe most helpful feature is the BIOS POST code display – when system first boot up or right after I enabled EXPO, nothing come up on the monitors, but I wasn’t panicking because the code shows it’s just doing memory training

   Good board, though it has two major issues.Fragile nvme connectors, and not linux friendly (any flavour).The easy connect system for the nvme is very fragile. A little spring went flying out of one of them. My rog crosshair x670e had a much simpler, reliable system. Asus got too clever and introduced new points of failure.Warning. This board is not linux friendly, unlike its predecessor. The wifi/bluetooth card they ship it with is well over a year old and has no driver in any kernel, and none in development. The manufacturer isn’t doing anything and an independent effort has been abandoned. As this is not available in any kernel, it will not work in any linux flavour. This is not likely to change. Asus should use their buying power to force the lazy manufacturer. This is a popular board series for home workstations on Linux, not just gamers. Almost no one uses windows for coding or as a workstation. Have linux, want wifi or bluetooth? Buy usb dongle. Or, if you want to really take stuff apart, under the rear panel output area, remove heatsinks, and you will find a tiny wifi card that is in a socket, not soldered. But you still have to buy the new card. Amazon have some. Thats what i did. Annoying after spending so much on a board.Also, unlike it predessor, there is no manual, just a quick start guide which is for more than one board. A manual has detail that is very relevant to the type of user who will buy this board. For example, now much current a fan or pump header can handle. All this was in the x670e hero manual.If asus are cost cutting on the manual, it stands to reason they are also doing so in board design. I think this will be my last asus board, they are going in the wrong direction.
