Review on πŸ–₯️ ASUS ROG STRIX Z270E GAMING LGA1151 DDR4 DP HDMI DVI M.2 ATX Motherboard with Onboard AC Wi-Fi and USB 3.1 by John Baker

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Edit: It was great up to the usual Asus issue!

Edit: After 10 months of use I suddenly noticed when booting up the computer that my KB and mouse weren't working, the bios warned immediately, tried to plug them into different USB ports on the back of the PC (USB ports on the mobo) almost all USB ports except the USB 3.1 A port were dead and I couldn't use that one as it would shut down the computer. Only one of the two USB 3.0 on the case worked and wouldn't turn off the computer when I use it, first thought it was a problem with the power supply as mine is almost 7 years old, bought a new one and it's no problem, I have Searched online and found many forums, people having the same problem, and from what I've read I've been lucky because people were facing this problem a few days or a few weeks after purchase. This is a common problem with Asus motherboards in all models (Prime, Horn, Strix, etc.). I have contacted Asus and am doing an RMA as the mobo is still under warranty. Old review: I love this motherboard! I bought this for a small build for myself and read the specs, it has everything I need but to my surprise it has 2 M.2 slots which I will be using in the near future to mount my SATA SSD switch to one of the SSD-M .2

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Long wait
