Solid Board: Computers and accessories

Great performance without problems. I've built myself an amazing system running on a flight simulator and it's fantastic.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Reliable and fully featured

Asus motherboards are always good. It has disk caching software that does the job perfectly. The mainboard allows the use of Nvme versions with three or four sticks. Works for me 24/7/365 with no problems.

Noisy capacitor and MOSFET components

Ideal board to support Thunderbolt 4 and Gen4 NVMe devices. It takes a lot of cooling to take advantage of "K" processors. The TPM fan is only controlled by the BIOS, and the capacitors and MOSFET make an audible scratching noise in sync with high CPU load (it sounds like a spinning hard drive looking for a track). That said, it's basically the best you can get in an ITX form factor for Rocket Lake processors given current offerings from all vendors.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • boring packaging

A bit pricey but as always you get what you pay for.

The best Z590 board with all the features you can get today. I wanted Thunderbolt4/USB4 support if I had to restore my system. I also wanted PCIE4, but on Intel. I had a lot of problems with my Ryzen system and now I have no more problems. Otherwise same details, only works with this board and platform. Mine is paired with an i9-11900K and is not holding that chip back. With ABT enabled I get 5.3GHz on all 8 cores and it hits 5.3GHz on 7 of the 8 cores at the same time, all the time. It runsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • GOLS certified

  • Blank

Bought twice, will definitely buy a third time

First bought as part of my first home build, I had no experience setting up a computer so I followed the instructions on youtube, got an install This motherboard comes with it with an Intel i5 11600k, with two 16GB Corsair DDr4 3600MHz sticks and a Rocket Sabrent 2TB NVMe 2.0 SSD with a Silverstone 1000W SFF power supply. I successfully set it up and installed Windows but I did it when the install was outside the case so I made a rookie mistake, after moving all the components (including theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Finally bought
Cons
  • Slightly dented

Good board, easy to use, rear USB can be improved

Dunno how to rate this board. In some respects I really like him, in others I would like to deduct a few stars. First of all, the first one I received had a defective RAM slot. Every time I put RAM in this slow module (closest to the CPU) the board didn't post. I ordered a replacement through Revain which came in about a week but the issue was resolved. I don't use a defective board in my evaluation as this can happen with any board and it may even happen that I have an uneven CPU set. I usedโ€ฆ
