Beyond praise! The product definitely deserves your attention.

Aura Sync allows you to control absolutely all the light in your PC. But only through two 3-pin connectors and two 4-pin connectors. There are too few connectors, and there are too many backlights in new assemblies. To help all the same Hubs. And that's an extra cost.
Aura Sync works great. You will not need remotes to control the light. There is a terrible hassle with remotes, and many have as many as three remotes in assemblies, to the light of valves and backlight tapes, as well as rotation speed.
Unlike the remote control, all light settings are saved and you do not need to poke into the remote control to select the desired mode at each start. Absolutely all RGB components in a PC: backlighting of the RAM, mother, cooler tower and the cooler itself, all fans and all RGB tapes, as well as: keyboard, mouse, mousepad and monitor backlight work synchronously, for example, to the beat of music, like in a disco or the best mode, this is when the backlight matches the color of the picture on the monitor. It turns out a single color scheme in everything, including brightness. It looks so impressive, just dump the head. But it works strange :) the RAM works out the first in terms of the speed of displaying a new color, then the mother, then the tower, then the fans with the tape. Sometimes in a different order :) It's funny, but these are shoals of software and have little effect on the overall impression.
Software from Asus is beautiful, understandable, but not complete. There is no way to control the brightness, which has already become too much, it ripples in the right eye :) it is necessary to reduce it.
Through software from Asus, I set up all my fans so that they don’t even spin in a simple PC, and when there are not heavy loads on the PC, they barely spin, the case has become really silent. Many control methods, the software is very variable.
How to power my 12 fans with RGB and 2 RGB strips, I still think I have 10 of them in the case and 2 on the tower.
In order to remove the vidyahu and not get close to the latch that fixes it, you need to remove the RAM every time.
This latch also interferes with the installation of the Nvme SSD, they intersect.

Pros

Beautiful appearance. Quality performance. Simply amazing software! Do you want to get adaptive backlighting behind the monitor on RGB strips, like on Philips ambilight TVs, without any extra investment? Easily! You just need to buy ready-made inexpensive tapes and connect them directly to the mother! And then fix the three tapes on the back of the monitor. Further, the software does everything itself. The presence of the backlight sector on the board, at the top right, is very out of place. It works with Aura Crate software, further I will write Aura Sync - this is a key lighting function in the current world of all RGB backlit devices. You can set any RGB zone operation mode when PC is off. It can easily glow in any chosen mode. Support for automatic overclocking of any compatible processor to maximum frequencies. Take any series and this board will drive it when it is needed. Support for high-frequency RAM according to the XMP profile. Support for the speed of absolutely all fans in the system! Including video cards. Management through the software is simply amazing. Any modes, any speeds, and monitoring everything you want. You can even name each fan in its own way. Incredible. You can overclock the video card, the processor with Asus proprietary software, they have completely ated the software and it's just super. There is only one heat sink on the Nvme SSD, and there are two such connectors on the board. Where did the second radiator go? I had to with my second SSD.

Cons

It's better to overpay a bit and take a normal ATX size. Because my RTX 2070 Super covers and heats all ssd m.2, RAM is very close to the processor and if there is no dropsy, then it blocks access to the maintenance of the processor cooler tower. Aura Sync is well implemented, but there is no brightness control in the control program. Although it is clear that Aura Sync controls the brightness in its modes, you cannot do this manually. A huge minus is that the stream of hot air from the video card does not go outside the case, through a hole on the back wall of the system case. Everything is blown out on the sides of the video card, directly into the mother and the second stream into the side wall of the PC. And this is for a second about 70 degrees in games. And this stream of hot air warms all your Nvme SSDs under it. Which have a throttling threshold of 80 degrees. And the likes of Nvme SSDs are hot on their own. Plus, this flow of hot air enters the cooler tower, reducing the cooling efficiency of the processor. Any video cards with transverse finning of the radiator induce heat in the system unit. Some cards from Palit have longitudinal fins and could theoretically blow half of the hot air out of the case, but blowing out from the back will meet the forcing airflow from the case fans on the front of the case. Thus, the right side of the video card, on which its power is located, will experience cooling problems. The second huge minus of all motherboards in the line up to 35,000 is an extremely small number of connectors for case fans. There are only two of them here! There are three of them in the most expensive motherboard! And I need to power 12 fans! This can only be done through hubs, which are sold separately. Although Asus claims that 4 fans can be connected to one pin through a splitter. You can only find a splitter for three fans, and it will cost almost like a hub. Up to 10 fans can be connected to some of the hubs. Incurs additional unimportant costs.

With its pros. A bunch of ports, including type-c. PCIe 4.0 Radiator on M.2 Its cons: There is one radiator on M.2, and two ports. Only 2 connectors for case fans.
