I built my pc barely a year ago, recently my 4th ram slot have been faulty and now does not work at all.

Easy to use. It’s a nice and big board. It comes with every thing to make your installation easy. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a great for for a great price.

Don’t really know what else to say besides I’m really satisfied with this Motherboard. Has all the ports that I could ask for and the BIOS is a breeze to work with.

Great motherboard. I got it for the 2 m.2 slots and the rgb. Asus Armoury Crate is kinda iffy. The shutdown effect for the rgb on the motherboard resets to rainbow. My only issue is that it doesn’t have ARGB headers. I didn’t know about ARGB until I got this motherboard and a case that uses ARGB. So it’s my own fault. Should have gone with a Z490 and bought a new processor.

This is my 2nd time building a PC and so far so awesome! I did a lot of research on motherboards before buying this one. This has the most functions when compared to other MB’s at the same price. I had a great experience with Asus on my previous mobo, arguably the best MB’s made. This one didn’t cost an arm and a leg and it has lots of features and the automatic overclocking works really well. The i7 9700K 3.6Ghz overclocks to 4.6Ghz. The UEFI bios have a million settings but you don’t have to fool with them. To overclock just click on turbo-zoom (or whatever it’s called) and the MB does the rest. Lot’s of 3.1 USB receptacles on the backplate and for front panel USB connections as well. Easy to install, comprehensive instructions are included. $180 is a little more than I usually spend but it’s quality and the extra features that you’re paying for and it will be a few more years before it probably becomes time to upgrade to something else. RGB lighting is pretty neat to see too.

Good amount of slots, looks clean, RGB is a nice touch and isn’t over the top. Only complaint being the plastic accents make screwing it down hard in some places.
