Type of review

I chose ASUS because for me it is the standard of quality and reliability, not for the first time. After more than 2 months of using the product, very satisfied)

Pros
  • Excellent motherboard. Purchased from Amazon. Main advantages: - The power zone is super, if necessary, it will overclock the processor without problems. - Massive heatsink cooling zone VRM. - The workmanship is top notch. And: - A bunch of ports, there is everything you might need. - Opportunities at the MP level with a class and cost higher. - Just a great mounting system m2! No need to look for screws, small screwdrivers, etc. : insert the disk, turn the latch) - Convenient bios.
Cons
  • The temperature of the chipset in the standard version of the MP is a bit high.

As a "cherry on the cake", I can note the presence of a Thunderbolt 4 connector on the board. Which is extremely useful for working with pro sound cards "Focusrite Clarett", "Universal Audio Apollo". There are very few motherboards supporting this connector at the moment. And Asus TUF Z590 is the most affordable of them! About Windows 10! The system has become noticeably faster and more responsive. This also applies to work applications (Cubase 11, FL Studio 20) and the already well-knownโ€ฆ

Pros
  • 1. The board is well reinforced. Shrouds and inserts for shielding are visible. VRM heatsinks are large, heavy, and don't play. 2. The top heatsink of the m2 slot (PCIe x4 4.0) is good, but nothing more! Too bad it doesn't have a fan! SSD Samsung EVO970 plus cools like a regular "Chinese" one! (See screenshot) 3. RAM "G-Skill Trident Z 3200" was determined automatically after turning on the X. M. P mode in the main menu. (see screenshot) 4. SATA6G connectors have returned to their historical homeland (the front side of the board), where it is much more convenient to connect them. But a few connectors were left on the side, which also makes sense! 5. When the system was first started, the cooler (Noctua NH-C14S) was automatically set to 650-700 rpm. (See screenshot) I advise you to immediately go to the "Monitoring" _ "Q-Fan Configuration" menu and change the "Standard" mode of operation to "Turbo". (See screenshot) The rest is up to you! 6. Add. 8 + 4pin power is connected without problems. If you have 2 cables 8pin power supply, extra 4pin remain outside and do not interfere with anyone. Front connector USB 3.2 type C and USB 3.2 type A are standard. If you have USB 3.0 connectors on the case, they are backwards compatible with the USB 3.2 type A connector on the board! Board power connectors standard. ARGB illumination is standard. 7. The built-in sound of TUF is not bad, by the standards of Realteck. But I myself use the pro segment, because of my profession. (sound engineer) Nothing much to say here. There is less noise and interference. (Signal-to-noise ratio) There is a screen and grounding on board, good preamplifiers. If you do not cling headphones and "studio monitors" (speakers) more expensive than 10,000, it will do just fine.
Cons
  • 1. BIOS at the start, extremely raw! Some functions are not available, some descriptions are missing, there is no full translation into 2022! ated without problems from a flash drive. Version 0810 fixes most problems, but not all! 2. Very modest equipment! (This is not particularly important, but competitors have better ones! )

Exactly as promised by the manufacturer, high quality.

The mother is good, there is a potential for an upgrade in the future, the frequencies of the suppressor are good. I recommend to buy. Study carefully the issue of processors 11 and 10 generations, so as not to step on my rake. I repeat: 10 generation does not support m2 4.0. Different pros: Speed, quality, overclocking capability. It automatically chases depending on the tasks set, everything is included in the kit, I didnโ€™t have to buy anything in addition. Different cons: M2 4.0 does notโ€ฆ

Great mobo, great support!

Used on a recent PC build with an Intel Core i5 11400 processor. The BIOS update via a proprietary software interface was a bit hesitant at first, but the USB flash drive update ran smoothly. I had an issue with my old dedicated GPU that caused the board to POST fail. ASUS couldn't help me with this, but they tried, and that's the main thing. I understand they will be at the end of the road when they exhaust their troubleshooting sheet. But good customer service is the only chance a company has

Pros
  • Internal components
Cons
  • Expensive

This board does not have WiFi and it is not clear when it will offer it as an alternative to z590+ and most importantly it does not have a tpm connector. tpm security is a Windows 11 requirement, so this board will soon become useless. I just spent my money on it. ๐Ÿ‘ Hello again Microsoft.

Pros
  • Motherboards
Cons
  • No insurance

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very strong board for the price.

Compatible with 11th generation. Asus has a simple fresh BIOS configuration for easy overclocking for the less tech savvy. Aside from sharing traces with other components for the 2nd and 3rd m.2 slot, I have no complaints.

Pros
  • Computer components
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Excellent Motherboard

This motherboard has great features, is attractive and easy to install. I love the LED feature and multiple m.2 slots, and the way ASUS mounts them now makes it easy to remove/replace/install. My setup is the motherboard; Intel 10-850k processor, 32GB DDR4 memory, silent fans, Samsung 980pro boot drive, 4TB Seagate hard drive for storage, NVIDIA 3070ti graphics card, 1100W Gold PSU. Enjoyed the build and the end result works flawlessly.
