Pros: - All the bells and whistles. - M.2 slot in the front under its own heat sink is a nice feature not in the x370/x470 itx series. - literally popped in my cpu, ram, nvme ssd, GPU, and all connectors and posted first shot. - bios is relatively easy to navigate. Can set exact cpu voltage rather than offset like some ryzen mobos. - overclock was quick and easy. Unstable posts restated at bios recommending lowering the tuning. - easy overturn option (4.0 ghz @ 1.32 V + ddr4 3200 @ cas14 latency) was similar to my own overclock (4.1 ghz @ 1.28 V + same ram speed except tRc manually set to 48) - my first RGB mobo: unnecessary but cute. - bottom line: product feels solid and all RGB components sync easily with ASUS Aura software.

Cons: - none so far.

Overall Review: Great premium Ryzen motherboard worth the wait for me (opposed to ASRock x370 ITX or Asus x470 ITX (more expensive)).

Pros: By all accounts this is essentially a twin of the asus ROG x470-I minus a little RGB (which I don't care about) and some chip set features which aren't relevant for the mini ITX form factor (like duel CPUs on a motherboard). On the current BIOS as of writing this (1003) Asus's version of XMP (D.C.O.P.) runs my cl14 flareX memory just fine. Just make sure you adjust the voltage settings as well (or you'll be getting a slew of failed boots before it defaults to much looser ram speeds and timings).

Cons: The wifi attachment stand is pretty dinky and doesn't make a whole lotta sense; it's not magnetic (like the antenna which goes in it) so I just ended up chucking it in the trash and sticking the antenna to my case alone. I had to take apart the audio jack near the on board audio to get rid of all the shrink wrapping. Not a big deal, but considering how small everything is, it felt a lot more like surgery than it probably would've on a larger board.

Overall Review: If you're looking to run 2nd gen Ryzen in a mini ITX form factor, this is an excellent choice-- especially when contrasted against the more expensive x470 version.

Pros: Very small, nice neutral colours, great BIOS, a decent variety of fan and LED strip headers. Works great for all intended purposes. Not DOA, unlike some other boards I purchased in the past.

Cons: Onboard lighting is obnoxious. It took me a day of reboots to figure out that BIOS settings can be altered by the AURA software, which they were, lighting up the board over and over again when PC went to sleep. I finally figured it out, though, so it no longer illuminates my room while I sleep. BIOS update is absolutely mandatory - before the update it allocated only 1GB of memory to the APU with no way to change it. The update fixed this issue.

Overall Review: The board required quite a bit of tweaking as it wasn't entirely functional out of the box, so there might be better options for non-enthusiasts. However, if you were raised by LinusTechTips, or have more than zero experience with hardware, then go for it, it's a nice board.

Pros: Solid board. My ryzen 2700 runs at 4.1g and 2*16gb hynix m-die ram runs 3200 c16 on it.

Cons: 1. The wireless card is horrible. It's Realtek 8822BE. You can hardly find any new drivers for it online. The wireless connection seems fine but the bluetooth cannot connect with my sony 1000xm2 bluetooth headphones. I had to replace it with an intel 9260 wireless card to make everything work perfectly. 2. It's a bit disappointing that the ROG logo on the nvme drive heatsink cannot light up. The strix X470-I can. Maybe that's how Asus differentiate these two products.

Pros: -Easy Setup as with all Asus boards -By far the best BIOS of any MotherBoards

Cons: -None yet

Overall Review: -I used this MB in my Wife's build with a Ryzen 2600, Samsung 970 Evo M.2 PCIe and an Asus 1070 Dual -Also ordered this board for my HTPC to use with a Ryzen 3 2200G, will see how this fairs once I build it

Pros: -Very detailed and varied UEFI/BIOS features. -BCLK overclocking. -QLEDs are very helpful. -Easy and conveniently placed CMOS pins (thank you and I mean it.) -Rated up to DDR4 3600. -Decent memory training.

Cons: -*Quirky behavior with voltage changes. -*Quirky behavior with CAD Bus/IMC changes. -M.2 front slot is inconvenient to reach, back slot drops PCIE speed to x8 (so the manual says, didn't verify.) *Basically I have to remove all power from the system to get it to train/apply properly.

Overall Review: Came from an ASROCK Fatal1ty mini ITX and this mobo is definitely what I wanted from the start. Better UEFI with more features and the CMOS pin is actually somewhere reachable (in fact instead of a jumper you can short it with a screw driver.) These QOL things were a big time saver. Ryzen 1500X @ 3.6Ghz (PBO/CBS disabled) with DDR4 32GB @ 3533Mhz. While the cons are inconvenient I consider it a fact of pushing the processor's IMC to its limits. DDR4 3600 might be possible but look, I bricked a $700 GPU getting the memory stable

Pros: -Good overclocking support (overclocked my 2700x to 4.1Ghz without any trouble at all) -Pretty RGB lights on the right side of the board -Lots of fan Headers -VERY premium build quality (Asus managed to even make the IO shield look and feel premium somehow) -2 rgb fan headers (one 3-pin and one 4-pin) -Didn’t feel like I made any compromises by getting this ITX board over an ATX board, something that can’t be said for a lot of ITX boards

Cons: -Price; I wish it was lower, but don’t we all?

Pros: Small and compact. Almost everything is in a good enough distance to plugin. It was straight forward plugging in everything that needed to be plugged in. The BIOS had the recent version (3004), which supports the 3000 series CPU from AMD. No need to flash.

Cons: Wish the booklet was in English. Front Audio was further away than I thought. Wish had one more fan header. Wish the OVA list for the motherboard was a bit more straightforward, referring to the site of ASUS.

Overall Review: I ordered this back when it was marked as backlogged. Once I received it, I checked to make sure everything was fine. Then I noticed the booklet was in, what I assume was Chinese. If I was a person who was building their PC for the first time, I would of have been lost and unsure where to go. I don't know if I was a rare case or what. Aside from that, the front audio I didn't bother to plug in, as I am unsure how to route it. The front audio was just long enough, but it look like it would of put strain on the cable (Phantek Mini ITX case). The Motherboard won't pick up the profile of my ram. It detects the profile, but when trying to tune it to that setting, it would power cycle a bit before setting it back to 2133. OVA list seems to be a bit lacking. It starts off with 3400, which only shows 1. The list doesn't fully expand until you get into the 3600+ range. I understand that new Ryzen loves higher clocked ram. 3200 is more of a sweet spot. If a kit that says on the memory's website (Gskill) says it works, but the motherboard's site doesn't start at 3200... I tried the AMD RAM calculator, but that seems not to work either. So I guess I got a board or memory that don't play well with each other. RGB is something this board has little of. If you want to go for lack of lighting, then this would work.The only thing the board has for lighting is along the 24pin side. That can be turned off in the BIOS. I wished the board would turn off those lights when the PC is powered off, by default. The board only have three 4-pin headers for fans, one being the CPU. Which leaves you with 2. If you plan on using this in a case that has more fans, pick up a fan spliter.
