The best thing Ive ever used, a great item for everyone!

I collected computers for friends on boards from different manufacturers, but for myself I try to choose ASUS products. The previous computer had a mat. board, sound card and video card from ASUS, and all this worked without any problems for 7 years in a fairly active mode. Therefore, for a new computer, the choice of mat. there was practically no pay. In addition, I like a clear hierarchy (Prime, TUF, ROG) when you just choose a chipset and take the right board for your tasks. I took it with a

Pros
  • Out of the box support for Zen2 (it is not always possible to flash the BIOS) and not yet released processors of the Zen3 generation, high-quality VRM cooling, two headers for processor fans, support for PCIe 4.0 for processor lanes and PCIe 3.0 for all lines of the south bridge.
Cons
  • the price is still high, the BIOS duplicated the items in A. I. Tweaking and AMD Overclocking (and they are not synchronized with each other, so it is not clear which priority)

I'm a little disappointed, not a good buy.

I would recommend removing ECC support from the description - on the official website, in the list of tested modules, there is not a single ECC module. With its pros: The pay is good. Installed Ryzen 5800X in it. But the aftertaste remained unpleasant . With its cons: ECC does not work at least with Samsung M393A2K40DB3-CWEBY modules. Unfortunately, there are no other modules to check. The official Asus support didn't say anything sensible - only sympathy and "in theory it should work, try…

A great option for this money, I definitely recommend it!

This is already my 3rd system on an Asus motherboard. I take them because of the stability and good BIOS. With this motherboard, too, did not lose. 3300x took 4.4, and the memory started at 3800. Timings were selected using the Ryzen DRAM Calculator. I will overclock the processor over time, while the priority was for memory. The motherboard was ated to the latest BIOS without any problems. In general, I am very satisfied and I think it will serve me for a long time and will please me.

Pros
  • - Good VRM cooling. Radiators are good, massive. - 10-phase power, but in fact 4x2 + 2, since the controller is 6-phase - excellent bios - nice appearance with "neat" illumination. Made well. - Lots of fan headers
Cons
  • - there is no temperature sensor on vrm, but this is solved by an external sensor, there is a connector for it on the board - for that kind of money they could put a more modern network and sound

Great quality, did not expect at all for the price.

Hong Kong 5 3600 got out of the box without a tambourine Memory modules must be installed according to the instructions - I got stuck on this myself. Despite the fact that the slots are signed, you need to put the first module in the SECOND slot :) Just in case, the connection diagram is in the photo. Pros: Beautiful custom lighting :) New chipset Well-known quality brand Has some cons -I did not find support for XMP profiles in BIOS. I had to manually set the frequency of the memory modules…

Spring. Computers and Accessories

Worst of all, it couldn't read one of the RAM slots. This is all cool as I only need 32GB Straight Meow anyway and I won't be using the board for long. 3 years max so I don't care but if you want something that will last 10 years then this is definitely not what you are looking for.

Pros
  • Finally Purchased
Cons
  • Update Availability

No bios recovery port for 5000 series

If you scroll down for more product information they have attached a picture how the bios for 5000 series processors above USB port and Flashback button is updated, but this specific model does NOT have this capability. This was very misleading and I wasted my time. I had everything set up and ready to upgrade, and what do you know? There is no way to update the motherboard for my 5000 series processor. In order to be compatible with Ryzen 5000, you must have a previous compatible 3000 series…

Pros
  • good thing
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

The product is not new!

This board had a bent pin to the USB connector on the front panel indicating the part was used. The only way to bend these pins is to use the fork itself. It cannot be that this happened at the time of delivery. I fixed it in my computer workshop.

Pros
  • Positive Only
Cons
  • Sad Hardware

Motherboard is bent but works

This is a really good motherboard. The problem was (don't know if it's the Revain's fault or mine when I unpacked it as it was so fragile) it was slightly bent in the middle as I noticed when I fitted the cooler, one side was screwed in and the other one looked uneven, it took me about 6 hours to figure it out, even the spacers didn't help! Before unplugging and giving up I called a local friend who has been building for about 7 years and everything was pressed and booming ! After that…

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other models
