Built out a new PC after 8 years replacing ASUS with ASUS and love the new motherboard so far. Performance is great, and everything looks really well made.
Has enough fan pins to support 2 front fans, 1 rear, and 2 cpu fans. Has everything I wanted at the cheapest price which is why I bought it.
Killer Ethernet and 6E Wifi and Bluetooth 16+1+1 power phase DDR5 PCI 5.0 USB 3.2
I really liked all the USB that is at the back of the motherboard in the I/O area. I also love to quick latch for the m.2 drives and the quick release button for the GPU.
I/O Panel has plenty of ports Great Value Well laid out
I really enjoy the layout of this motherboard. Machine built as a media server / gaming machine The i7 12700K with the z790 chipset has no problem serving media files while playing games at the same time.
I was able to boot with a i7 14700 out of the box which surprised me. I was able to update the BIOS with an "unsupported CPU" out of the box. Board manufacturing date of 2023-04 so BIOS wasn't even close for 14th gen CPU support.
Cheap price, but not cheap quality
Build Quality 2xUSB-C ports on the back Good VRM phases with beefy heatsinks Asus Bios runs smooth and is easy to navigate Runs DDR5 7200mhz out of the box
Started right up without issues
PCB layers -board feels very solid, no flex when plugging in the 24 pin Built in IO Shield - just a nice quality feature with straight forward IO and not a bunch of extras Great Cooling - board stays stable on air under load M.2 Armor
- support up to 14 gen Intel processor - DDR 5 memory - two M.2 storage slots
- extremely sturdy - great built on heatsinks - solid state components in the TUF series
I had a Gigabyte Z690 motherboard on my iBuyPower gaming PC, but I was encountering a lot of issues while gaming, such as the mouse or keyboard not responding, the ethernet connection failing, and microstuttering and crashing of games. I replaced the power supply and memory, to no avail. I even reinstalled Win 11. I finally just replaced the motherboard with this one, and all my problems went away. It feels so good to just have everything working like it should, and I haven't had any issues. The connections were pretty much identical to my Z690 board, so it was an easy swap.
Everything worked. I started up this board and it booted up and everything started up without any problems. 2 weeks later and all is well. I came from an ASUS z690 G board that gave me so much trouble with BIOS and memory, I never could get a XMP to work right. This board has 4 NVME connectors which allows me to move away from SATA. I am completely happy with this board.
-Have had this motherboard working great with 14900K for almost a year now -Many features, plenty of USB options for front and rear panel connections -Currently running a high-end AIO cooler with ten case fans -All fan LEDs connected to one port and controlled with open source software -Very easy to install; just read the motherboard manual -Check ASUS website for latest BIOS release, and choose compatible CPU and RAM options
My motherboard purchase from new egg was very good. The board was new in a sealed box with all parts and worked perfect for my son's new build. I tried purchasing a board from Am-a-zon. What a disaster that was. First time they sent me an opened box, likely used board. Returned. Secured board was DOA and wouldn't turn on. New egg was a way better experience.
-As of October 2024 purchase, it came with BIOS version 3/26/2024. It recognized the Core i3 14100 processor without any issue. Didn't need to put a 12th gen Core processor in to do any BIOS update. -From the above bulletpoint, my box had a "Next Gen CPU Ready" sticker on it probably to indicate it has the updated BIOS version to support 13th and 14th gen Core processors. -Compact size and has Wi-Fi card already included. -High quality -2x ARGB 5v headers for your LED lights -Integrated video output if you don't want to add a dedicated video card. (VGA, Displayport, and HDMI)
- Perfect Productivity MoBo - 4 Simultaneous Displays supported! 2 DP, 1 HDMI, 1 VGA - More I/O than I can use - Great price
