Review on ASUS Prime Z590-A LGA 1200 ATX Motherboard (Intel 11th/10th Gen, 14+2 DrMOS Power Stages, 3X M.2, Intel 2.5 Gb LAN, USB 3.2 Front Panel Type-C, Thunderbolt 4, Aura Sync RGB Lighting) by Aaron Villanueva

The motherboard itself is everything I hoped for, but not without problems. On the plus side, it's fast (I installed an Intel i7 11700 processor) and if my Asus history holds up, I can expect it to be reliable. The BIOS gives you many options and is easy to use. Use the right processor and take advantage of the integrated graphics. (I avoided processors of this type). CONS: After finally installing Windows 10, I couldn't reinstall the ethernet controller. The driver is not installed from the support disk provided, nor from Intel or Asus driver downloads. I finally bought a PCI-E card to get online. Wow! Once I did this, the correct driver was automatically downloaded and installed along with any Windows updates. There was no need to buy an additional card just for Intel's onboard 2.5GB lab to get the job done. The WiFi adapter I also bought will work too and they are cheaper. But I recommend this particular board for its features and performance. Just buy the fastest RAM you can afford as it makes a good board better.
