A great option for this money, one of the best offers.

It is recommended to install the motherboard in a traditional case that has the power supply unit located on the top. There is previous experience installing in one of the more current cases, which has the power supply located at the base of the device. In this particular instance, it was discovered that the holes in the casing through which the wires from the power supply unit emerge are located near to the connections for the peripherals that are located on the board. In this instance, they…

Pros
  • Reliability, functionality, and a lack of extraneous features.
Cons
  • There are aspects of the installation that are not disclosed, and these aspects vary depending on the scenario.

Mostly reliable

So far this is a good board with many features for the price and I haven't had too many major issues with it except for one. The CPU Power Header no longer works correctly. Some fans won't start anymore and others won't let me spin the RPM as low as it used to and I'm not sure why I only started this last night. I had to put a case fan and CPU fan on the AIO socket to make it work and still boot. works fine now for the most part, if not a bit not in the controls. It's too small an issue to…

  • Special offer

Two open boxes and defective item being sold as 'new'

I've been building PCs for years and have had little trouble ordering parts from Revain. I've had several dozen Asus boards and have been very happy with them so far. I'm ordering it along with a Ryzen 5 2400G to help a family member replace their computer. Came a list of parts including this circuit board. I have concluded that there was no factory seal or accessories in the box. Obviously it was used. Bought it assuming it was a new item based on its description. However, I didn't bother with

Pros
  • Complete kit
Cons
  • Poorly designed

I trust ASUS for the best internals

Having had experiences with ASUS in the past I will definitely use them again. They make good boards and this board ticks all of my boxes. I'm not using all the features of the boards yet, but I'm glad they are. There are plenty of fan connectors, there's USB 3.1 gen2, as well as a USB-C connector. I also needed an M.2 connector. Everything got up and worked perfectly from the first start. Windows 10 1809 downloaded all needed drivers. I had to go into the BIOS to get the board to boot from the

Pros
  • Durable workmanship
Cons
  • No insurance

Works like a charm - Motherboards

Update I've been using this board for 2 years now and haven't had any problems and it's still working! So far I haven't had any problems with this board. I paired it with a Ryzen 5 2600, a GTX1050 graphics card, only 8GB of RAM, an NVME to boot Windows and 1 SSD, a 550w PSU. Get this board if you're on a budget!

Pros
  • Hands free operation
Cons
  • Good but not great

Overall excellent value for money.

All in all a fantastic motherboard! Pros: - Plenty of ports and expansion slots - Minimal appearance, fits almost any PC - Mostly easy to use - Pretty good pre-installed audio - Reliable - Aura system adds orange light to highlight the GPU - Great value for money money quality . Cons: - no built-in Wi-Fi or Bluetooth - vague instructions for pin connections - body pins are difficult to add as the connection marker is so small it requires a camera and the manual doesn't tell you where to place…

Pros
  • 1 year trial
Cons
  • Expensive

Unacceptable. Audio drivers are completely incompatible or defective.

Bought this model for my brother's birthday for his first real PC build and it has NO COMPATIBLE SOUND DRIVERS. Not only is this model newer and more expensive than my original radio, it is also more modern, with its own driver disk and NO AUDIO DRIVERS. The drivers don't work. You can't be serious, ASUS. I'll call tomorrow to complain to support and look for a replacement. I will update this review whether or not a solution is found. I'm angry and embarrassed that my little brother's first PC…

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Empty

I expected mediocre quality, but it was a pleasant surprise.

What is the outcome? Works on this motherboard Ryzen 2700 in STOCK! I put a friend 2700x and it works the same way. However, due to the small number of power phases, and rather symbolic cooling, constant overclocking was rejected. But overclocking for the test did. Through bios, there were problems with overclocking the CPU, the readings refused to be applied, but there was no memory. I think the bios is damp. Through the AMD Ryzen Master program The processor took 3925mhz across all cores at…

Pros
  • Starts any processor up to 2700x WITHOUT PROBLEMS!
Cons
  • For me, the disadvantage is that overclocking RAM in my cases is not possible more than 2933mhz. (I thought my RAM STOCK 2400mhz no longer takes) I put the RAM DRAIN 3200mhz, It did not start at its native frequency . Above 2933mhz it does not start! Of course, the sound is depressing . Especially taking into account the price of the Motherboard, and the size of the ATX. For mATX, this would be forgivable .

I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

Decided to upgrade. I took it spontaneously. Installed r7 2700x. Everything became clear and started. With Patriot 3200 memory, it started up without problems. Flashed the BIOS to the latest version. Haven't tried above. 6 phase. Or rather 4+2. Regarding overclocking (Precision Boost). Separate item. Overclocking, and without tower overclocking)) The first can be turned on or off. The second one still needs to agree to this, and then everything turns on. This is an item on the menu. Yes. Sound.

Pros
  • Simplicity. Radiator on the bridge, and near the processor. At least some. Convenient bios. Availability of 6 USB ports. Backlight. Overclocking options.
Cons
  • I don't see any special. Installing a cooler on the processor. Be careful. Don't push. Aim very clearly when installing. The pay is thin. Separately, it's about food. Not for 8 core board. Still for 6.

Good product, not disappointed.

Impressions are twofold from this materinka. The Ryzen 5 3600 processor started up without flashing the BIOS. RAM started up at 3600, but refused at 3466. Sound: it works flawlessly in the seven, but the seven does not like Ryzen, and it suggests switching to the ten; in the top ten there are jitters of the sound, as if they abruptly jumped to another section in the track, and after ating the drivers (and it was already 5 times), the problem did not disappear, it just began to appear less…
