Bought this MB with a Raptor Lake i5 to replace my old Asus Zxx MB and Kaby Lake i7 that were not capable of upgrading to Windows 11. Reused my old CM PS, CM Heatsink, Nvidia card and even my old 16GB of PC4 RAM. Booted-up and it automatically booted Windows 10 from my old SSD. I was then able to "Upgrade" to Windows 11 (rather than having to buy a new copy) and it has worked perfectly. When I first started doing builds 30 years ago, if you changed the CPU, MB or HD, you had to start all over. Not this time. Don't know why?

Easy to install booted up immediately with easy to follow bios settings. Board is basic but good power delivery

Very heavy and solid they use a lot of metal. ATX Board, Supports socket 1851 for my intel core 9 285. Easy latch for m2 sticks, release button for PCI video Card. Debug display for troubleshooting. Z890 Chipset, reinforced pci slot, Wi-Fi 7, 10 GB Lan, dual channel DDR 5 memory with 4 slots. Support for gen 5 m2. PCI 4 and PCI 3 available for expansion. Easy build for me. Best motherboard I have had to date.

-So many USB slots

- Lots of USB ports - Lots of M.2 slots - Stunning Looks - Solid build - Fair price considering cost of everything has gone up

Simple setup, worked and updated itself on first power up zero issues thus far. Massive heat sinks everywhere running benchmarks so far everything has been optimal. Nothing over 70c at 100% on processor,board, or video card. Wish I had known before hand they had heat sinks installed on the M.2 sockets for M1 M3 and M4. Wouldnt have had to buy memory with heat sinks. This is more positive than negative hence the pros column.


has allot of good features for the price point

Easy install, price, features

-White/silver accents -Intuitive BIOS -Button to release PCIE slot -WiFi 7 -Debug seven-segment display -on-board buttons for power, reset, BIOS flash

easy install bios is very easy to update i updated to get the intel micro code and my cpu has been solid so far i have it paired with a i5;13600K and with some ddr5 ram its very fast and the power rails near the cpu never even get hot or warm great product


I am pretty sure this is a pretty amazing motherboard, just the fact that it has an error code reader for a sub $500 motherboard is a plus. I wish other manufacturers would take note as this use to be a normal thing even with the budget motherboards.

- Was easy to recover from a failed firmware upgrade due to bad RAM with BIOS flashback feature. - BIOS is easy to use and tune. - Can use EXPO settings for AMD DDR5 on Intel CPU's. - Runs cool. - Plenty of NVME and SATA ports. - Lots of fan headers and expansion options. - Looks good, not overly done with RGB, a little bit that glows from under the GPU is a nice touch.

-Perfect motherboard at this price point -Instant 6 ghz with 13900k is a plus

Plenty of I/O, 3 M.2 drives, PCIE5, wifi (haven't tested this yet). Quiet fan curve by default but stays cool, my 250K at 100+ watts is barely over 50, while nothing else on the board is out of the 30's. No issues applying XMP timings. The main workload I bought this for a heavily threaded Python app with a lot pillow usage and perceptual hashing limited by memory bandwidth. This is a whole lot faster than my 11700k and has been rock solid. Probably nothing to stress the 8 phase power delivery, which is fine with me!


I have seen several complaints regarding the compatibility of 14th generation CPUs without a BIOS update, I fortunately did not have this problem, the i5-14600KF worked, I have tested this motherboard for about 2 weeks now, at least 3 or 4 hours a day sometimes more, multiple benchmarks, games and other things, the board seems very solid so far.

Back connect makes a clean build

NEW!! I bought this cause I don't know anything better. So far it is good. Does what I need.
