Good board, good features, good connectivity and well designed.

I've had very few builds where absolutely nothing gave me problems. I installed an i9-10900f, RTX 3070, 32GB Crucial DDR4 RAM and a SKHynix SSD in a beQuite case and it worked right away. Flashed it with the latest BIOS on a cheap USB stick and booted into Windows on another and it worked without any issues. I wish it had a different fan header, but that was my only wish for the board layout. The BIOS is pretty easy to load optimal settings. I set up an XMP profile for my RAM, which required no effort, and ran it with APE 2.0 settings, which automatically change PL1, PL2, and Tau settings to improve performance (along with heat dissipation , so plan for the right cooler). When comparing a CPU under load, it never crashes far north of 200W and then only for short bursts, so it's transient. Setup is effortless as Asus has already done it for you. As for Intel and AMD, Intel systems are almost always more stable and mature than the AMD systems I've bought in the past. I usually build latest generation components, which is probably one of the reasons for creating stable builds, but after struggling with teething problems on a new platform, you never want to repeat this. Good board at a reasonable price. buy with confidence.
