Beautiful mobo, everything has been thought of to make building east and beautiful at the same time

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?

Great motherboard for my needs. Running fast memory on pci 5.0 and ssd and video cards on 4.0. Default over locking cpu from native 4.6 to 5.0 with no noticeable heat gain. No buggy drivers. IMHO rock solid purchase

No regrets I was looking forward to it!!


All the bells and whistles Looks really stunning Six NVMe slots Prepared to run on custom water loop but runs just fine on air (make sure you have proper airflow) As stable as it gets Lots of type-c ports and 2 thunderbolt (plus 2 type-c headers, 2 regular A headers, and 2 USB 2.0 headers) Got it on sale <3

Seriously overkill for me. Looks great white and silver. Supports DDR5 6400 2x16 perfectly. I like MSI bios vs Gigabyte z390 (upgrading from)

Lots of options. Got a free MSI AIO with it. Looks greats and works great do far. Would by again.

Easy bios for kids No longer eatx Does 8000 stable ddr5 -vsoc 1.1 vddio 1.45 fclk 2000 Easy

Ez CLips for M.2 "Keep out zone" Appealing design Plenty of SATA ports PCIE 5.0 Post Code Display doubles as CPU Temp CPU Debug LEDs Q-Flash Button on Rear IO


1) 10g nice on board 2) optional IPMI which I am planning to get. 3) Asus cpu enhancement all 24 cores fully under-load at 4.8GHz/ single core 5.2 boot stock out of the box 4) 1TB or Rdimm supported 5) lots of pcie slots for expansion

- Easy to use - Easy to install

Pretty easy DIY Digital display vs a single flashing LED A number of future proof features to keep you competitive for a while

3 m.2 slots, easy setup, supports most needed connections for RGB, fan, USB etc, Works without a hitch,

Two pcie x16 slots with ryzen comparibokity

This board feels solid and reliable. Setup was smooth and the BIOS is easy enough to work with once you spend a little time in it. Runs my 9950X3D with no issues, temps stay under control, and everything just feels stable. Plenty of ports and slots for whatever you throw at it, and the build quality is exactly what youd expect at this level.


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!

Lots of features Feels like a premium product Cool accessories in the box
