5 out of 5 eggsMy opinion on the high DOA complaints

Pros: Works so well once I finally got it up and running.
I like that it has usb 3.0.
Its all black and sexy.
It came with two nice SATA cables.
The documentation that comes with it is greatly helpful for us new builders. Read through it before you start to plug away.

Cons: Orientation is different than my old motherboard (not the boards fault but my fault for not looking, my old motherboard had the external plate on the short side) so it would not fit in my current case. Luckily I was able to find a cheap case!
I would like an HDMI but again I knew buying it that it did not have one.
No mounting screws included. (Do those usually come with the case? I wasn't sure.)

Other Thoughts: I thought twice that I had a board that the integrated graphics would not work on but it was actually due to my low experience with building. I did not realize that the CPU had it own 4 pin power supply so I never hooked it up. The computer will turn on with just the 24pin hooked up so when I was getting no video signal I thought that I had a board with a problem. Then I realized that little port was not just for a fan or something. I had to get a new power supply that had the 4pin (it came as an optional 8 or 4pin) then I hooked everything up and still nothing. My second issue was the power supply had the option to set to 230v or 115v. I did not realize that it was default set to 230v. Once I turned the computer off, changed it to 115v, and turned it on again it worked like a dream. Just make sure you read the manual and double check everything before you think its the boards fault. Goodluck!

4 out of 5 eggsGreat so far.

Pros: Easy to install and setup.

Cons: Limited CPU upgrade path.

Other Thoughts: I purchased this with the following bundle http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.2715322 back in December 2015. I built this to replace my girlfriend's aging Dell. It has been working without any issues.

5 out of 5 eggsAwesome Budget Mobo

Pros: Purchased for an insanely cheap price ($39.99) and came with a $29.99 cpu cooler for free.

This motherboard does everything I need it to. Everything works.

Cons: Only very minor issue (to me at least) was no USB 3.0 header, only USB 3.0 built in to the motherboard.

Other Thoughts: For the price I paid + the free gift I have nothing to truly complain about. I can easily get the USB 3.0 ports on my case to work with a $10-$20 add-on card so the lack of a USB 3.0 header wasn't a huge issue to me.

Xion XON 560 mATX Case
Athlon 860k w/ Deepcool GAMMAXX400 Cooler

2 out of 5 eggslow quality, IO issues

Pros: it works

Cons: USB 3.0 ports don't work at all, one of the USB 2.0 ports works fine, the other will supply 5 volts DC out, but nothing else, perhaps the data transfer tracing is damaged.

Other Thoughts: drivers were difficult to install, this is the first PC i have built with an ASUS motherboard, i have always used Gigabyte and haven't had any problems at all, i have used gigabyte boards for lga 1150 z87 , b85 , am3+, 990fx and 970a, fm2 and fm2+ and have never had any issue what so ever, i recommend GIgabyte, i took a chance on this and i am not impressed

1 out of 5 eggsDOA

5 out of 5 eggsSimple Little Board for a Sweet Livingroom PC

Pros: 6.0Gbs SATA for the SSD users
Plenty of USB headers and SATA ports for a basic machine
Very small form factor
Low Price $

Cons: I have yet to have any issues.

Other Thoughts: The board is very basic, for basic needs. Don't expect it to have all the bells and whistles of the more expensive alternatives. I'm using it in a basic gaming machine with 4GB mem, SSD, Athlon X4 840K CPU, GT 730 GPU. It runs very well. I have always chosen ASUS for my builds and will continue to in the future.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat Board

Pros: Asus has an amazing UEFI bios, easy to operate, cost is low for the quality of this motherboad, works with linux and windows

Cons: Installing an OS with USB devices would be nice to have 4 USB 2.0 slots on the back plate, but that's being picky

3 out of 5 eggsGood Luck

Pros: I've built several of the DIY Combos for clients with this board and worked great.

Cons: In addition to the folks that have gotten boards with no display output (with or without BIOS update). I received two back to back that Crashed, Froze in BIOS, lost connection to SATA and USB and one of the two display visual artifacting and discoloration at the POST screen.

Other Thoughts: These things happen but in six years of business this was a first and delayed two customers orders. Costing me time and money.
