Pros: Lots of features. Fast. Reliable. Paired with my 9700K I'm at 4.9Ghz.
Cons: Haven't ran into any issues. Not sure it needs to be so expensive though.
Overall Review: Not my thing but wow - Pretty LEDs. I purchased Jan 2019.
Pros: Everything
Overall Review: Awesome board, have a i7-9700kf running at 5.2ghz stable. Love it
Pros: All the latest tech you want USB C gen2 Lots of headers
Cons: I don't like how much space RGB takes. It's like fool's gold for teenagers. Lots of useless add-ons
Overall Review: Very happy with this MB so far, works like a champ. RGB bullscrap is foolish
Pros: Easy install, great BIOS setup with i7-9700K , Corsair H20, Corsair DDR4 (3200, running XMP2.0) , running @ 4.9GHz , without breaking a sweat. Lightning fast boot with dual M.2 970 EVO Plus. Just remember to remove plastic coating on thermal pads for included M.2 heatsinks. Asus make great MB's... inspite of comments to contrary. Everything just works well.. fully stress tested with no hickups.
Overall Review: It's ASUS .. I would highly recommend this MB
Pros: Good and highspeed
Cons: price is expensive
Pros: I have update my review. After 2 weeks installed and running, I must confess I am happy with the board. I was able to get my 9900k clocked to 5Ghz easily. VRMs do not seem to be holding me back. Furthermore, I am able to use Adaptive Voltage which saves a lot of power and heat. VRMs do a great job with those rapidly changing voltages under Adaptive. Great UEFI. Asus is still has the best UEFI. Easy to Clock Supports my 9900k @ 5Ghz all cores @ 1.29v, AVX -2 with Adaptive Voltage CPU at 80c & VRMs at 66c with H115i Pro Gskill at 4000 17Q, that's great memory support (cpu has a solid mem controller obviously) VRMs do get warm but not overly hot Solid on board sound
Cons: The M.2 screws. They locktite them in. Not a good design there. Although I'm happy with how the board performs, and it easily powers my 9900K, the "twin 8 phase" marketing speak was a really bad idea. The board is obviously 4 phases with 8 power stages. Not 8 phase. For a nearly $300 mobo I would expect a higher end VRM set up. The VRMs are indeed adequate, but not what's advertised.
Overall Review: Overall a very good board. There are no Z390 mobos out there that are perfect. I'd rather deal with the sufficient 4 phase VRM but get a solid UEFI and good clocking board than vice-a-versa. Has they just marketed this as a 4 phase board that handles voltage changes better, they would have been better off. If you are worried this board cannot handle a 9900k, don't be. Although the 4 phase set up might require a tad more voltage than an 8 phase board, the Hero XI handles the fluctuations superbly and makes for stable overclocking.
Pros: -Solid and good(though not excellent) design as usual. -Friendly BIOS with tons of settings adjustable. -VRM heatsink now has pipe connected at least.
Cons: -Serious VDrop when overclock 9900K. I could achieve 5G at 1.33V with level 6/7 load line calibration, and the actual idle core voltage in system is 0.05V lower than it supposed to be. In stress test the difference will even be more than 0.1V. -Like many other reviews mentioned, the M2 screws are overtightened so be careful to that.
Overall Review: Please notice that this board is not 8 phases on vcore but 4 instead, with each phase has two DrMos and ASUS is using the same design from Hero, Code and Formula for Maximus XI series. I'm not judging or arguing as long as for most scenarios this board is good enough to work perfectly fine. But for a 300+ bucks board I'd expect more than this one, especially compared with other brands.

Pros: Killer MB works Perfect Overclocks like a beast Software is Best in the market Runs I9900k Perfect
Cons: People think this board sucks because of vrms when no one needs the vrms they are talking about to run the 9900k because of a rumor on youtube
