Nice features Very good looking

I replaced a bad MSI board. Instruction manual was easy to read, and overall the machine performance seems a bit better than the busted MSI Board. Love the pcie 5.0 release button. Drivers are packaged to install at first boot. So far running great.

Easy to install. Not a large Motherboard compared to a z series. gigabyte is easy and straight forward to update BIOS extremely easy

Easy to setup, everything works as expected.

Works well, no issues of any kind so far.

-aesthetically pleasing -ease of install due to plugs being on backside -everything is in its usual spot just relocated to the back

I was so impressed by how easy it was to assemble this and also the price was very affordable. Great working motherboard processor combination super fast. I put a 50 series RTX card on it. Its a nice new DDR five and 1000 W power supply. The machine works killer Very impressed.

-Three m.2 slots -3 chassis fan headers -4 RGB headers, two 5v, two 12v -included m.2 heat sink - AIO pump header - compatible with aura sync



Two thunderbolt ports. Can turn off RGB in the bios, (Genuinely, from the bottom of my heart, thank you ASUS) 6-7 sata ports (6 standard sata ports + 1 sata m.2 form factor slot) Top notch bios. Free m.2 expansion card (has sharp edges, careful not to get cut) ~ not that big a deal, just some wires on a pcb, but it is one less thing you might need to buy

Works great, most people buying obviously do it for Overclocking and it just a fantastic job! Looks are a good 7/10 imo not as flashy as the OG apex in white

Amount of M.2 Slots Overall board quality

Awesome fun to setup

Literally top of the line in everything I was looking for. PCIE 5, so you can pair it with the Samsung 9100. Latest intel processor (Which is also super fast). Wifi is also fast. The price was great for top of the line. I am super happy with it. The BIOS system is very intuitive/easy to use. And it looks great.

1. Performs awesome. 2. So many YouTube videos explaining every detail of the board, its functions, and its installation. 3. MSI does an amazing job with keeping drivers updated. 4. I love the attention to style and detail with the peripheral slot covers that make the board look sleek and color-matched across the entire motherboard.

Crazy power and upgradability.

The goods I have purchased form Canadian Newegg over the years, never, Never disspoited me. Allways all came on time and NEVER anything was " box open " Very relable place to get the componets from.

very nice mobo has 6 m.2 slots and a proper igpu lane which is why i wanted to upgrade from the z790 apex encore other than for cudimm ram OC. Im glad theres finally an XOC mobo with a proper igpu lane that ill use with tb4 unlike last gen where i didnt have the option

ALERT! It's 2025 already, and this motherboard will not recognize a GPT-partitioned device as bootable! Once I figured out why I didn't seem to have any bootable drives, I formatted and partitioned my M2 SSD with a MS-DOS partition table, and it was good to go. I bought a pair of 24 GB G.Skill Trident DDR5 DIMMs that are listed on the ASROCK QVL. The CPU is an Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF. I learned that my nice legacy heatsink was incompatible with the heatsink footprint (the 4 holes) on a LGA 1851, so I bought a Noctua NH-D9L and it works great. CPU temp with air cooling is 32-35C. I;ve been a pretty reliable Asus MB user over the years, but this ASROCK unit is getting the job done for me and I have zero regrets for this decision.
