I should have looked for better, I spent my money on a mediocre product.

Another problem - sometimes it hangs on the ASUS logo when rebooting. Until I figured out what it is. At the same time, it does not react to the keyboard, long holding "Power" - then turn it on and everything is loaded normally. I'm not going to argue that it's the mother's business. Possibly other components. While it is difficult to determine, it is necessary to accumulate statistics, try to give up memory, percent, disks, but this takes time. 04/01/2022 - Another ambush. I bought an ASUS M.2x16 Hyper expansion card for this mom. Hoped to create RAID0 on it. Not here it was: ONLY INTEL disks can work on this board in a raid! well, not nonsense? OK, I put one disk on this board, the second one in the mother itself, configured RAID0, installed Windows, now both disks work at full speed . but the tests in some respects are worse than when one of the disks was in the mother in PCI-E 2x!

Pros
  • Didn't notice any particular
Cons
  • I understand that I overlooked it myself, but it only has one M.2 slot running on PCIeX 3.0-4x, the second at a speed twice as low. As a result, my dream to make RAID-0 on two 970PRO SSDs was shattered. The speed of the raid falls short of the speed of a single disk of the EVO series. Now you have to buy an expansion board for the SSD. And as I now understand, this problem is massive. Whatever you take - on any mother there is one connector and the second half connector. And the chipsets for Ryzen are even worse, the second connector is completely obsolete PCIex x2.
