Installed perfect, fired right up! Asus is my stay for any build.

Made a replacement for an 8 year old media unit (scanner, records to digital, blue ray, ect) painless, with the result actually far exceeding my expectations!

Shields/heatsinks are not flimsy, the entire board feels sturdy which was a requirement for this build.

This review for ASRock review rebate program. I can't find any other motherboards like the ASRock x870e nova for even close to the same price. This motherboard has 23 Voltage Regulator Modules compared to Asus's top of the line Crosshair X870E Hero Motherboard has 22 VRM's for double the price of the ASRock x870e nova. The other main things I was looking for were Updated USB4 connections for my 2 external HDD's and then plenty of USB 3.2 connections for all my peripherals with 2 of the USB supplying extra power to other power-hungry peripherals like my corsair keyboard, mouse, and gigabyte 4k monitor that has more plugins for other devices. This is also future proofed for the NVidia 6000 series graphics cards with pci-e 5.0, which is what I'm waiting for in 2 years. There are also plenty of m.2 card slots and m.2 raid is also supported (Raid can be a little tricky to figure out in the bios and installing windows, but you can find the drivers and instructions to do it at the ASRock main website). The only other motherboard I was considering getting for 3 more VRM's was the ASRock x870e Taichi for a hundred dollars more. The board is also nice and heavy with the 8-layer PCB making it less prone to warping or being damaged from regular handling while building the PC.

Great mobo quality. Booted right up after building. I did need to install wifi drivers.

- Ease of use - BIOS software - Amount of USB CONNECTIONS, FAN Headers

Great motherboard for my needs. Running fast memory on pci 5.0 and ssd and video cards on 4.0. Default over locking cpu from native 4.6 to 5.0 with no noticeable heat gain. No buggy drivers. IMHO rock solid purchase

Price won't break the bank Has a clean design/look 5G LAN No frills x870 board that does what I need it to, no more, no less

This review for ASRock review rebate program. - I like the straight-forward layout of the board. - Not a lot of optional extras, but everything you need. - I had no issues with my build using this board. Solid performance.

Extremely high quality build Runs amazing with AMD 9950x Processor

Multiple M2 slots, 4 SATA connections, Lots of USB with high speed. One HDMI and two display/USB ports can connect three monitors directly or daisy chain more. Includes Wi-Fi with a two-connector antenna. Has on board graphics. Many fan power connectors. Pretty much everything I need. Two PCIE 16 slots in case I want to add a GPU and whatever else. I also added additional front panel USB/Card slots so I have top panel USB, back panel USB and front panel USB/card slots. Somewhere around 20 USB ports. Downloaded the ASUS software that installed all the drivers very quickly. No problems finding drivers, etc. Loaded up Windows Pro 11, had a minor hiccup installing Windows but AI chat helped me get around that fairly easily. Bought Windows 11 Pro from StackSocial for $13. Support there was great and software works great.

Lots of features like thunderbolt and wifi 7 Paired with my Intel 285k and 8000mhz ram using Intel 200k update beats x3d amd Cpus Lots of space for nvmes

tons of SDD slots easy to use bios

Just replaced old X68 socket 1151 motherboard. Plug in new CPU and powerup functional. Easy to adjust BIOS settings. No need to flash new BIOS. Will report after several months more use.

Good quality and good price. I love it.

Looks nice

Pros: Beautiful board with tons of features. - Sleek - Stable - NVME lanes don't have switches for other PCIe lanes. -VRM overbuilt

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.

- Aesthetics - Actual all white parts - Easy to install - BIOs interface - Good amount of total USB ports - No issues with AMD EXPO and memory training seemed quick - Plenty of nice-to-have features like the onboard power/reset buttons and post code read out

A sturdy motherboard that has plenty of connections and rear io ports. The board was very easy to flash with a usb out of the box. Asus's driver program is really helpful at identifying what needs to be updated. Armory crate is pretty good too. The look of the board is really clean and matches my build really well.
