Build solid, heavy, durable. Great location for connectors (at least for my artic c8) Everything went together easy. No issues with clips, mechanisms, etc. Looks beautiful. Updated bios before power on, this is a great board, with great features. Very easy to navigate bios, everything worked exactly as it should.

Finally installed this motherboard with Seasonic 850w Platinum PSU, G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) and i7 9700k with Samsung 970 Evo Plus. Fast boots, no waiting. From the very first boot no issues, and running great. Not sure why it's getting some bad reviews. Maybe some power issues or bad choice of power supply for other users or sketchy memory. I always use GSKILL. I'm happy. I'm still loading software and only gamed some BL3 once with Gigabyte Aorus RTX 2070 Super to test it. I've been building systems since the 90's so let me say this: "Take your time and plan out your build, then do it right even if you have to delay the build. Don't get in a hurry" I actually enjoyed it this time by not rushing it. If you pick the right products (quality) you should be ok. I even have TT Riing Trio lighting and RGB memory, very appealing visually.

Nice motherboard. No frills, no blingy RGB. Just what I needed to build a media server, paired up with an Intel Ultra 5 225. The build booted up first try, no problems with memory compatibility like other reviewers have reported. I'm using a Crucial Pro 2 × 16GB kit that ISN'T listed on the QVL, but it works great. Memory is Crucial part # CP2K16G64C32U5B (Newegg part $ N82E16820156450). I love the spring-loaded M.2 quick release pins. No need for a screwdriver or the pivot locking mechanism that MSI has on its other boards. Overall, I very pleased with the motherboard. It's reasonably priced and has a nice feature set. So far it's been rock solid stable being on 24/7.

z890 Aorus Elite WiFi7 w/Core Ultra 7 265k Both great I/O and internal connections, 1 USB-C/Thunderbolt, 5 USB 3.2 and 4 2.0 USB on the rear IO panel, not to mention however many extra you plug into the front connectors, built-in RGB LED's are nice, bright and add appeal even before in, I MUST be losing my mind because after doing BIOS updates HWInfo64 shows the motherboard is in the quad-channel memory setting, which I haven't heard anything about in the last 10 years or so and thought it was dead and gone. So a VERY pleasant surprise that not only am I upgrading from DDR4 3600Mhz ram to DDR5 6000 Mhz, but swapping from dual-channel to quad as soon as I get 2 additional sticks of DDR5 ram

Modern architecture in a low power form factor Can run off a 20 pin ATX power cord BIOS has no restrictions (power limit increase to ~15W, boot on power provided, and CPU undervolting) Passive cooling

Product is first-line brand name, the ordering process was easy and straight forward, and delivery was on time.

-Easy install -Actually durable -Wifi antenna has a long cable and a stand so it's actually decent wifi signal

Sharp design, and integrates easily with components. PCI express 4.0 capable Lighting effects are clean as always with ASUS

Board runs fine. I have no complaints. Nice midrange board.

Affordable price Excellent workmanship Stable and easy-to-use BIOS

easy setup 13900K and DDR5 6000 instantly recognized. plenty of M.2 PCIE 5

easy to install solid build


Lots of expansion ports for all the extras. Dual 2.5gb Ethernet with wifi6e. 4 m.2 slots for tons of data storage.

This is the second of these boards that I have used to build a system with -- it's hard to beat for the price. I used G-Skill Trident Z5 RGB memory modules and it's good to go.
