Overall Review: Everything just worked. Not a single issue. Built in sound impressed me the most, though my old H170 board had terrible static noise. The BIOS flash from USB button worked perfectly as well so I could just pop in my new Ryzen 5600x and get going.
Pros: -Flashback Button -On-Board Wi-Fi -Easy to use BIOS/UEFI
Cons: -IO Shield hole for flashback button is not perfect
Overall Review: Reason why I gave this 4 eggs is because of the IO shield being in the way of the flashback button. I installed this on one of my computers before flashing the BIOS and was wondering why the LED was flashing for an hour straight. I found that the button was being held down by the IO shield itself, so you would either have to flash the BIOS prior to installing the motherboard to the case or sand down the hole. I installed this mobo in two cases and both had the same issue. I hope this helps someone who's having this same problem, because there was nothing online about this. Otherwise; great board. Ryzen 5600x
Pros: - Intel Wifi 6 - Intel Lan - Front Usb type c Gen 3.2 (the fast one) - Minimal and tasteful RGB - Good IOMMU Grouping making GPU Pass through feasible. - Military ruggedness..... well... sort of.
Cons: The intel 2.5 Gigabit Lan failed. Upon installation I noticed that the Gigabit Lan would drop out and come back, occasionally. I figured this was related to old drivers and part of me getting the machine up and running. However during a 3D Mark TimeSpy run where I was stress testing the GPU I had purchased, the gigabit Lan just stopped functioning. Hard failure. Link lights on the ethernet port were out and the device disappeared in Hardware Manager. Loaded Linux to isolate what maybe a windows phenomena and LSPCI couldn't see the device either. NIC just disappeared a hard failure.
Overall Review: Board is with Asus getting warranty work to repair the Intel Nic. To their credit they issued the RMA quickly. However, I found it strange I was responsible to ship and pay the board to them. Also, you have to pay for shipping. It did speed the process up because I could ship same day the RMA# was issued. Also they let you leverage their buying power for getting a reasonable cost shipping label. It is still a little weird... If its their mistake I shouldn't have to pay to ship it to them. If it all works out well and I get a functioning board back I will upgrade the review with only the minor quibble that i have to pay for shipping.
Pros: - Pretty - Lots of connectors - Easy flashing of BIOS (once you overcome the inability to push the button, see below) - Price. It had some nice features that were only found on other boards in a much higher price point.
Cons: - Not SLI compatible. This one is on me for not researching more. I was upgrading from a system based on a B450 board where I had wanted to do SLI and saw I needed a X470 in order to do this. When building this new system, I picked X570 and expected it to work. It does not with this board. Again, my fault. - As another reviewer mentioned, the plastic USB Header piece was missing. This means the USB cord from the case feels a bit loose. - As another reviewer mentioned, the hole for the Flashback button does not line up with the board so it cannot be pressed without manually moving the board slightly. - No built in speaker. Had to find one to hook to the front panel pins to hear the POST error codes when first building (was no VGA detected, more on that below). - I use this Tuf Gaming boardin the Tuf Gaming GT501 case, and the positioning of the connectors along the bottom of the board are inconveniently placed with the opening to the PSU area covering when having to deal with trying to make it look pretty. They shouldn't have to bend so aggressively. - Unstable. I thought I was having PSU issues, but the same PSU powered another system perfectly. The other PSU I put in this system seemed to work at first but then steadily started exhibiting the same random nonsense over the next 24 hours. Different but compatible RAM also resulted in the same problems. Some of the issues "could" be signs of a bad or overheating CPU, but Ryzen Master and BIOS monitors discount that idea. Instability ======== The system wouldn't "turn over" right away. The RGB lights would come on for a split second and then stop. I'd hear a defined click from the PSU. If I pushed it a few times, it would finally turn on completely. At that point, sometimes it would POST and boot, sometimes it would POST and hang on the opening Splash page, and other times it wouldn't POST at all. It reached a point with the original PSU (EVGA Supernova 1300 80+gold) where it would never turn on. With the replacement (EVGA Supernova 850 80+gold), it would come on with a couple attempts. The same was seen with a third older 750W FATAL1TY PSU I had laying around. I'd get random POST beep codes on power up, such as no keyboard, no VGA detected, or no memory detected. All of those things were present. In most cases, it was the VGA error code, and almost always as soon as it said there was no VGA, the monitor would come on to the Windows login screen. I lived with this for a couple weeks before the problems escalated. I tried firing up VirtualBox for the first time, and my entire system shut down instantly. I tried again, and same thing happened. I found fatal errors in the Windows event logs, and it didn't even display a blue screen. I attempted to get into the BIOS screen to verify some virtualization settings and after 30 minutes still hadn't managed to coax the system into the menu through any means (DEL or F2 button on boot, Advanced menu in windows recovery UEFI boot, holding power button). ==EDIT#1== Getting the SN is a chore if you no longer have the packaging. I normally keep the boxes for my boards until I purchase the next one, but this time it seems to have been thrown out with the mountain of other cardboard refuse generated by my most recent build. It is NOT exposed to the BIOS, it is not accessible by API through WMI or through programs such as Speccy/CPUZ. The WMI command does return a serial number, but its not the one needed to register the board for warranty work. I was finally able to find the true SN on a sticker on the board after moving some components around. After registering, the RMA site is down. So this nightmare continues for now.
Overall Review: I love my TUF Gaming A17 laptop, so it seemed like a no brainer to build a desktop around a TUF Gaming board. I was wrong. I should have returned this board at the first sign of problems, and now I am a few days past the 30 day return window and will have to deal with ASUS directly. I've had this system built for about 30 days now and have had nothing but issues. Overall, I cannot recommend this board at this time. When I get a replacement, I'll see if it behaves any better. If not, I'm going to have to find something else.
Pros: - Nice look, not too flashy or over-stylized. Would go well with just about whatever style you're going for with your case. - Wifi works good, just place the antenna up in a decent spot and you'll get full-bars in most cases - Aura Sync for all your RGB needs.
Cons: - Edit: Google "PSA ASUS Intel I225-V reddit" and you'll see that the LAN adapter on this board has a history of issues. Supposedly Revision 3 fixed the issues, which my board apparently has. But after a week with the motherboard, the LAN port has completely died, not showing in Device Manager/Control Panel. I'm downgrading to the PLUS version of this board, which has a different RealTek adapter, and returning this defective one. - The initial BIOS update took a decent chunk of time (~30-45 mins), but not a huge issue. (I may have missed a step as well.) - Not a serious con, but the RGB strip on the right stays on even after shutdown. I'm sure there's a bios setting for this or something, just something to be aware of. - If you're using an AMD CPU (in my case, the 5600) with the included fan, do note that the RAM slots are going to be uncomfortably close to the fan. I'm only using 2 slots so it's not an immediate issue, but my roommate used all 4 slots, and the 4th is pushed over a bit by the size of the stock fan. Still works fine, just be cautious if you're also buying some bulky RAM sticks.
Overall Review: Edit: Downgraded from 5 to 2 eggs after the LAN port died after a week of intermittent LAN issues. Wifi works fine, but I don't plan to keep a brand new board that has parts dying within a week. Returning it and buying the PLUS version instead.
Pros: - 5v DRGB for sick RGB 2.0 - No issues with Intel NIC after installing the driver (using Cat7E - SSTP rated for cabling). - No issues with the face plate covering the button as other users reported. - No issues with slow mouse in bios as other users reported (800 dpi mouse) - Has BIOS update available for USB drop out fix on 5000 series ryzen processors - Drivers installed seamlessly, which was surprising as someone coming from decades of other brands. Its hard to know when the install completes though, so silent.
Cons: Audio solution is very lackluster. Certainly not powerful enough to drive my 250ohm DT 990 Pros. I did not expect otherwise, but if you are looking at this board and have a similar mid range headphone with high impedance you will 100% require an external DAC/AMP. If you're an audio person this is probably no surprise to you - but for those who are not keep this in mind when purchasing. Coming from a series of gigabyte boards I was used to having a reasonable solution built in but ordered a DAC/AMP knowing I would need it. I was proved correct - bass is flat. Required BIOS update for a 5950x, flashback worked great so this is a minor inconvenience.
Overall Review: Its got everything you need except good headphone audio. A winner for budget picks if you want native DRGB support and better LAN.
Pros: All the functionality that you can expect from a X570 board.
Cons: Bios reset button, though very useful, doesn't fit properly in the backplate. Sometimes it gets stuck. I think the hole is not properly aligned with the button and I've seen the same complaint everywhere.
Overall Review: Recommended, with the caveat that you may want to fit and fiddle with the screws, etc even enlarge the hole for the bios reset button.
Pros: -supported 5900x with no bios update needed -better memory support than most x570 boards including higher end boards -released Q4 2020, many updates on this board compared to older models -great price for the feature set
Cons: -none, since the board is newer most people are glossing over this as a choice
Overall Review: Did a lot of research on x570 MB and this came out as a great choice. Has a newer memory topology which supports very high DD4 speeds, and since it was released recently it has a lot of QOL updates compared to older model boards. Feature set is similar to a Tomahawk but its cheaper, and has newer tech, easy choice.
