Pros: Put in the processor and memory, installed it in a Phanteks Evolve Shift, hooked up the water cooler and it started and ran flawlessly. Had to set the SPD speed manually but otherwise easy as it gets. Don't expect any overclocking so don't use an expensive K processor. The BIOS is typical ASUS perfection and the AI Suite software works like it should, minus the overclocking apps.
Cons: The tiny screws that hold on the heatsink over the front m.2 port strip easily.
Overall Review: I build a lot of custom systems and use ASUS motherboard almost exclusively. Their BIOS are easy to use and glitch free and the AI Suite software, especially the Fan Expert means I don't have to spend long hours configuring things. This board is no different. It just works. Sometimes that's all you want.
