Just super, it's beautifully made, I'm very happy with it.

So far, I took it with r5 3600 - at the moment such a board is redundant, but in a couple of years I can seamlessly upgrade to something like 4700x or even 4900x, having received a huge performance boost. The main feature of the chipset is pcie4, which is of little use at the moment, but since it will also be in new consoles, in a couple of years games will be optimized for such speeds, and we already have everything. As for the Internet and drivers - during the installation of Windows, the Internet was not detected, but after the end of the process, when it first hit the desktop, everything worked. I ated the drivers for everything (chipset, network, sound) using Asus' proprietary Armory crate program, which the computer offered me to install the first time I turned it on. I ated the bios before the first inclusion, before installing Windows. Everything works as it should.

Pros
  • Decent power supply and vrm, will pull out any modern processor; pcie4 for one video card and one ssd; heatsinks on both slots for m2-ssd; decent built-in sound; convenient implementation of ating the BIOS, you donโ€™t need to climb yourself, just plugged the USB flash drive into the switched off computer and pressed the button on the back panel.
