I knew I was rolling the dice getting memory not on the QVL for my z790 Asus board, but I figured for the price and the pretty good speed, I could tolerate to de-tune a little for stability and I would be perfectly happy.


- Advertised accurately (past ryzens have had a few very misleading claims) - Boosts to 5.5 all core with an EKWB 240 aio - Infinity Fabric in Auto:1:1 mode as opposed to 1:1:1 of prior generations makes overlooking more accessible - Thermal throttle alleviates fear of burning it out from a bad thermal paste job

Great PSU solid good performance

Works well in a white build Easy to install Lots of ports for all your USB and aRGB needs Competitive pricing vs other boards on the market and getting that ASUS quality

Super easy to physically install. Drives like this on fit in 1 possible way; they're notched for dummies. Massive performance increase over usb external hard disk drive.

Sharp/clean looking board Built in Wi-Fi Well thought out design

Actually works, decent BIOS, OK layout, Easy driver software. Nothing really to complain about so far. No WiFi or boot issues like the board it replaced.

- speed - reliability - ease of setup - doesn't require Samsung Magician to run. The software does have great features though

- Does RAM things

Very dependable.

Nvidia software

Runs cool and looks good.


Incredibly fast, compared to my previous i511400k from 5 years ago for the same price. This easily is 3x as fast. Great product. 0 issues so far since installation.

Faster (AND cooler) than my 3080. Uses a LOT less power too (obviously).

Looks nice in my setup and working great

works great would buy another one

I bought this because it had more usb ports. I use 7 peripherals, maybe more... so yeah. The m.2 does not use screws but it uses a plunger thing to lock it in. I think that's good since it prevents people from over tightening it. BIOS is easy for first timers like me.

Performs well in 1440p. Runs very cool and quiet, even when being pushed hard.
