Working well


This motherboard is easy to configure compared to earlier generations. The bus speeds appear to the fantastic, supporting the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K purchased along side. The newer 1080 bios interface is a welcome upgrade. I am not using it to it's full potential yet as I really purchased it for future proofing my rig.

very easy to install, be careful installing cpu, line up corner marks.

- extremely sturdy - great built on heatsinks - solid state components in the TUF series

🔧 1. Exceptional Build Quality: The Z890 Extreme is built like a tank, it has reinforced PCIe slots and with the Q-Release its super easy to remove graphics cards or NVMEs under the numerous heatsinks. it has high-quality capacitors, and thick VRM heatsinks, something i find other manufacturers dont always pay attention to. Armor-style shrouds and a premium brushed metal aesthetic give it a top-tier feel. plus its heavy as all hell. ⚡ 2. High-End Power Delivery 24+1+2+2 power stages provide rock-solid stability, ideal for overclocking my Core Ultra 9 285K The Robust VRM features 24+1+2+2 power stages, each handling 110 amps 🔌 3. Extensive Connectivity PCIe 5.0 x16 support for the latest GPUs. Multiple Gen 5 M.2 slots and PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots (with heatsinks), supporting ultra-fast NVMe drives. USB 4.0 / Thunderbolt 4 support, plus ample USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 ports. Dual 2.5G + 10G LAN + Wi-Fi 7 support for ultra-fast networking. 🖥 4. LCD Display & Debug Tools Built-in 5 inch LCD display for system status, temps, and custom logos. you can now import your own images or gifs Q-Code, FlexKey, BIOS Flashback, and Clear CMOS buttons for ease of troubleshooting and tweaking. Separate PCB layers and shielding for clean audio delivery. 🧠 7. AI Features & BIOS ASUS AI Overclocking and AI Cooling make tuning accessible even for novices. and of course the BIOS is world class, as always

This review is for the MSI Review Rebate Program -easy set up -good rebate for holiday season -bios menu is nice -nice cooler for m.2 drives

Don't need update BIOS if your install a 14th gen processor

Somehow I bent the pins under the CPU of the 1st MB, don't know how I did that, after getting it back from from ASUS repair center, which it really didn't need because all they did is test startup 50 times & when I got it back the issue was resolved - so just a big waste of time I can't blame on any body else. So that's off my chest, the 2nd Z890-A is working perfectly. No complaints at all. It has plenty of USB's. Room for 2 HDD's, 4 2.5" SSD's & 5 M.2 SSD's. You don't need to be a gamer to get this MB, it will handle whatever you throw at it. I still haven't played with the Audio capabilities it has, or finished moving all my files over to the new PC. It's been a busy Summer. One hack I accidently discovered: I went with an Intel 265KF (no internal graphics), but was planning on getting a GPU any way. Do that and you can save a few bucks on the CPU.

- Visual appealing - Ample USB and M2 ports - Excellent build quality

Awesome board I love it runs my i7 13700 so good no high temperature underload it's also good for overclocking

-As advertised -Steady shipping

- Cost - Features - Thunderbolt at 40 GBPS - WIN - M.2 slots

This motherboard is a value king. Latest chipset, good number of vrm, up to i7 I would not consider to buy anything more expensive. For intel 13600k this is a masterpiece combination. DDR 6000MHz support without any hiccups, enable memory profile job done

Build solid, heavy, durable. Great location for connectors (at least for my artic c8) Everything went together easy. No issues with clips, mechanisms, etc. Looks beautiful. Updated bios before power on, this is a great board, with great features. Very easy to navigate bios, everything worked exactly as it should.

Good looking white circuits Good compatibility Strong BIOS

M.2 slot lga 1700 everything is great even has a c port slot which is nice idk what I would use it for

Looks good, feels good, working good.

Value for money

This motherboard has all the good basic amenities you would expect from an Aorus board. What makes this board stand out is the high RAM speed capability for the price of the board and the reinforced PCI-E slot for these massive GPUS.
