Runs cool Less power VERY fast

Powers everything, Runs quietly. 1000 WATTS

Knowingly did a sideways upgrade from the 7600X. On air cooling, the 7600X immediately jumped up to high 80s Celsius when stressed. I know AMD said it was designed for such, but that's just hot. With the 9600x, at 65w TDP, it does not break 68C when stressed. Same cooler, same case etc. I'm happy with it.

- Easy installation on my setup - Running all my games like a charm

I replaced an Asrock X670E PG with an ASUS X870-A which brought out the potential of my Ryzen 9 7950x, Samsung 980 M2 drives, and Asus TUF 4070 super, revitalizing my fading gaming rig. The performance in Cyberpunk 2077 at Ultra quality was greatly improved, no more laggy movement and smearing scenery.

-Got it for MSRP. -The one game I used FSR 4 helped a lot more than FSR 3 from my 7800XT. -Ray tracing looks beautiful. First graphics card I owned that handles it well


Good price

Great Mboard

Easy setup with a 9900x and 2 sticks (16gb each) CL30 DDR5. Everything came together well and quick detour to bios on setup to set CPU and ram exos oc and all is good in the world. A true no issue at all experience

-Very Fast -Samsung reliability -Looks great for the 5 seconds you can see it!

Worked fine with my new Ryzen 9900X + MSI 5070 Gaming Trio + Linux Mint build. The BIOS fan curves and other settings are easy to adjust (Yes, I'm old enough to be impressed by friendly BIOS screens. You kids dunno how good you've got it these days).


Full speed Wi-Fi 7 5 Gbps Ethernet two-digit debug display

I built a mini itx system for the living room in the corsair 2000d case. This board was not my first choice because of its price but the first board I bought was the Asrock a620i lightning and it would not post so I had to return it. I bit the bullet and grabbed this asus board and am happy I did. Booted right up, expo worked perfectly with my Gskill ram (30cl 6000mtps). I had heard of people having issues with the wifi on this board but mine is performing excellent. I have gigabit ethernet and am getting 500mbps on wifi from about 30ft away from my router. This board was a little overkill for what I needed but it is a quality board that I have had no issues out of so far.

Size, and configuration

Purchased this motherboard while I was waiting for a RMA on another motherboard brand and it works without any issues.

If you don't use Arctic Silver Thermal Paste then you aren't doing it right. I will never use any other compound. I've never been let down and I've always gotten great contact and heat dispersion with it. USE THIS!

1. The Biggest pro that I couldn't find with any other MOBO Manufacturer was the 2nd x16 slot runs at PCIE 4 x 4 from the chipset! This means that when using SSD's at PCIE x5 doesn't disable it! Read below to see why this is important. 2. It's a very well built and feature rich board! Save $200 from buying the HERO and get this! The HERO's extra PCIE x16 lane also is disabled when using SSD's. 3. ASUS Hit The Ball OUT of the Park on this one! Worth the Money 4. No issues with drivers and just use BIOS Flash Back USB when installing an X3D processor.

Love the combo
