TOP FAVORABLE REVIEW
Perfect

Great quality,
Stable.
TUF components for long life.
RGB SYNC works flawless with RAM sticks via ASUS AURA software.
Onboard RGB header.
Full size ATX.

UEFI Menu is superior to other brands I have used.
I enabled the network under network stack in the UEFI bios, bios updated itself from the internet to latest version, No Windows install or USB stick needed,
rebooted, set D.O.C.P under advanced CPU settings, it enabled the XMP profile for the RAM and is running at 3200.

M.2 PCI-Express 3.0 x4 was seen by the bios and Windows with no settings changes required.
It really was a painless setup, I was pleasantly surprised.

Other components:
AMD Ryzen 5 2600x
RAM: 16G Geil RGB Sync 3200 :Memory Model GALS416GB3200C16ADC
M.2 SSD: Corsair Force MP510: Model CSSD-F480GBMP510

None

I do recommend this board, A good set of features in this price range, great quality,

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Missing hardware

I like the mother board and the small RGBit has, I have yet to turn on my pc though.

Went to mount my M.2 SSD. Well guess what no mounting hardware for it. Well I contacted Asus and I get this response “if we have spares we will send one, and email you.” Well I took that as a not getting one so I bought a kit with 4 of them. Wish someone would have paid for them instead.

Tip: before installing make sure you have everything listed as packaged.
