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.

Great board does everything I need it to ,I suggest reading the manual first and google what you don’t know about ,a few uefi settings change how it reacts to vcore .all in all I love took my cpu to 5.0

- Linux friendly motherboard - WiFi and Bluetooth: Working - Ethernet: Working - Audio: Working - All USB ports: Working - All of the above working out of the box with Ubuntu 16.10.

similar to the z790, which I currently have. Great look and amazing options.


this mobo fits well with my i5-13500 intel processor. i have no problems with it. it seems to take its time adjusting to changes that i make at bios level. but erroring on the side of caution is always good. a prettygood board overall. no complaints.!


I like more low key boards however the dragon on this board looks amazing. The back I/O is the best in class with 2 thunderbolt 4 built in. The PCIe slots are used to a maximum the first 2 go Gen 5x8 allowing 2 GPUs for local AI work and the 3rd (from chipset) is Gen 4x4 allowing a multitude of usage scenarios including a thunderbolt 5 add on card!! Amazing The motherboard trains memory very fast and the performance rivaled the unify x which I decided to return as I couldn't get more out of it however it was an amazing board!
