Pros: No frills X470 chipset. Quick boot, easy to navigate BIOS. Excellent ASUS Customer service.
Cons: First board arrived DOA.
Overall Review: Basic sound output, good lay out, tons of drive expansion options.
Pros: - Low Cost X470 chipset - Lots of features for the price
Cons: - The Vcore VRM overheats if you pull more than about 80A through it. The software readings are about half the actual MOSFET temperature. I used a hardware store multimeter with a K-type thermocouple to read the temp of the input trace of the inductor. I was getting 105C+ while stress testing my R7 2700 non-x overclocked to 4.075GHz @ 1.4V. It was pulling around 110A at the time. When the MOSFETs overheat, it pulls the clockspeed down to 550 MEGAhertz and the voltage down to 0.7V for several seconds to let the VRM cool off. It promply overheats again once it goes back to full speed, though. My temp fix was to just wedge an 80mm fan up against the VRM heatsink, which kept it just a couple of degrees below overheating. Do yourself a favor, and if you're getting an 8-core, just get the ASRock Taichi. I contacted ASUS support, but not only were they slow... they never got back to me in over 2-weeks with a solution. I wound up figuring out the problem myself.
Overall Review: No refund or return possible on this particular motherboard with either Newegg or Asus. Bad form, guys. Caveat Emptor, I guess.
Pros: Easy set up & nice bios, and always fast shipping from newegg. Easy ram OC using Corsair LPX 3000.
Cons: No spdif audio out, which I would expect on a $150 + mother board. Had to order add on board from another vendor. No case pin header to speed up install. Read specs close to ensure it has the features your build requires, this is a very basic board.
Overall Review: Add optical out and better audio chipset.
Pros: Board was easy to install. Perfect for my needs as I won't be O/C. RGB can be changed to any color and the Military style looks even better in person. Not many options in the Bios to allow many changes. Works great out of box with Ryzen 2600x.
Cons: Not really a complaint, just a warning to people that want to over clock. Buy a board with an addition 8 pin power connector.
Overall Review: Was great but eventually developed failing to post issues. Will try to rma to Newegg, I'll let you know how that goes.
Overall Review: I installed it on an aluminum test be and install an intel m.2 and AMD Ryzen 7-2700 and a MSI armor rx580x8 and it is running great. Go to Asus and download the drivers and bios updates for the best performance and AMD for thier's also.
Pros: - Slim - Easy to manuever
Cons: - Lack of components; manufacturers are expecting us to reuse parts from old builds :( - RGB; not a fan of lights - Manual never stated that using the NVME slots would disable either the PCI-E or SATA ports if in use
Overall Review: ASUS TUF series has always been a quality that does not suffer. This was my third board in about 11 years of building PCs. Can't say enough good things.
Pros: -Easy to update Bios for the Ryzen 3000 series right in bios settings no downloads needed -Easy mounting of pins and easy to follow instructions Simple clean look with RGB makes it nice in small cases
Cons: - Limited space for extra network cards/pcie cards
Overall Review: I would give this a soilid 4.9/5 unless you looking to do some massive overclocking or want 6 different cards in a pc this is a board for you. simple easy to follow instructions for the cable management and even has enough use for upgrades. Used it for my friends PC and would get it again.
