Works wonderfully, inside and out!

This was a randomly selected motherboard from all that I could use for functionality to build a new PC. I didn't pay attention to the lights. It worked with my Intel i7 7700K, used DDR4 RAM and had enough SATA ports for WAY more storage than I could ever need. While waiting for it to arrive I did a bit more research and learned about the RGB strip. For me it was a big plus - I'm a lover of beautiful things. I also saw that it came with a drink holder! Very random, but it's definitely nice. Ah…

Pros
  • Regular Price
Cons
  • No

Good MOBO for internals

Bought this part with high hopes. Everything is connected together, all fans and LEDs continue to work, but nothing is displayed on the monitor. Okay, maybe I hooked something up wrong. I soldered everything, testing it as I put each part on. Nothing. It was the first computer I ever built and I was scared. It made my first experience even worse. I like the look of the board but it seems flawed. After troubleshooting I read that a cellphone should beep codes when there is no RAM or when it is…

Pros
  • Useful for more than intended purpose
Cons
  • Sad hardware

Edit: It was great up to the usual Asus issue!

Edit: After 10 months of use I suddenly noticed when booting up the computer that my KB and mouse weren't working, the bios warned immediately, tried to plug them into different USB ports on the back of the PC (USB ports on the mobo) almost all USB ports except the USB 3.1 A port were dead and I couldn't use that one as it would shut down the computer. Only one of the two USB 3.0 on the case worked and wouldn't turn off the computer when I use it, first thought it was a problem with the power…

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Long wait

If DOA, look for a RAM LED in the top right corner of the board.

Okay, so I'm going to be perfectly fair here. I received the board. Everything was hooked up correctly (even checked with a techie at the local computer store) and I didn't get a POST on startup. After scouring the internet for a possible solution, I found all possibilities from bent CPU pins to dead RAM slots to bad power supply. So I started testing. My MoBo lit up, fans kicked on and everything (except the hard drive hummed a bit) and no visual effects from HDMI, Displayport or VGA (1080 was
