Do not listen to negative reviews

Another big mob from Asus. Most of the negative reviews you read here are from inexperienced computer users. I had the same problem with LAN, it was fixed after I finished installing windows. The overclocking experience has never been better. With your ability to hold voltages under load with LLC settings. Make sure you have both 8+4 CPU sockets connected. Running between 11700k and 11900k these chips can draw up to 400W according to AVX 512 guidelines. You may need to upgrade your PSU to 850+W for the first time depending on usage and GPU. 11th Gen processors are extremely temperamental when it comes to speed. If you don't change the default settings in the bios, your bios will shut down the computer at 80c. I wish I could give 6 stars for adding memtest86 to the bios. Really great work from Asus.

Pros
  • A lot of positive emotions
Cons
  • Quality
