Review on ASUS X570 Plus Motherboard paired with VG248QG Monitor – A Dynamic Duo for High Performance Gaming and Productivity by James Sevenfold

I upgraded three of my computers last winter and this was the first motherboard I bought. It's been working great since day one, so nothing to complain about. However, I later found a PRO version of this motherboard and bought 2 for other builds. It has 3 key features for just a few dollars more. 1) This MB has 1 gigabyte Ethernet. Pro version 2.5Gig Ethernet.2) This MB has WiFi A/C. Pro version of Wi-Fi 6 (literally 5x faster when paired with a Wi-Fi 6 router). I usually get 500+ MB/s. additional bezels for USB 3.2 for older cases. Now there's an even better PRO II version. It features passive cooling for PCH (no fan) as well as WiFi 6E. As of this writing, the Plus version is $203, the Pro version is $210, and the Pro II is $230. Personally, I would go with the Pro II, which was not included in my builds. If you later want to add any of these features with an add-on card, you'll end up spending more than the Pro II's premium. PS- If you are currently looking for a good WiFi 6 router, I recommend ASUS AX5700. It's WiFi 6 and solved all speed and coverage issues for my home without using a repeater (2600 square feet on the 1st floor). I got a version with an additional 2.5 GB Wan/Lan port. At the moment I use it for the Lan port. If that doesn't matter to you, you can save a few euros with the standard version.
