Great Aesthetics, Low Quality Options

PROS - Cool Design Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Gundam Horn Adapter - Adequate performance for gaming and streaming - Plenty of BIOS options and ease of use CONS - Minimal fan headers - SATA ports are blocked by larger PCI-E modules - Tight design - No RGB integration

Pros
  • Engineered for Online Gaming: Intel WiFi 6, 2.5Gb Ethernet, TUF LANGuard and TurboLAN Technology
Cons
  • Nothing

Good Licensed Product

Branding is subtle but appropriate. I think the AIO and the case are more important to the build than the MB, but that works well with the outs on the case and the only odd assumption is that it's a smaller board than the case. Comes with slightly modified BIOS and boot screen. There was an initial issue with the AIO leaving the CPU and support was very good from both Asus and Amazon.

Pros
  • Bidirectional AI Noise Cancellation: Reduces background noise from microphone and audio output for crystal clear gaming or video conferencing
Cons
  • No

Won't boot on motherboards

The board I received was defective. No matter what I tried to fix, every time the BIOS reported USB overcharging, the system would shut down. This happened even with no USB devices connected! Since the board was shutting down it was also necessary to update the BIOS if that was the problem. So, surprisingly, I came across a bad ASUS board. About my 2 or 3 in 10 years and 100 boards. Now I am very happy with MSI boards.

Pros
  • Improved power solution: 8+2 DrMOS power stages, ProCool connector, military-grade TUF components and Digi+ VRM for maximum reliability
Cons
  • boring packaging

very cool mobo best in internals

looks really sick and with red RGB the only thing I didn't do , e.g. , I had to buy a heatsink for the m.2 because the top one doesn't have one

Pros
  • AMD AM4 Socket: ready for Ryzen 5000 Series/ 4000 G-Series/ 3000 Series Desktop Processors
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
