Easy to work on, amazing features, and so many fan ports/ RGB

- Looks great - Plenty of features - Easy setup

I've tried other motherboards but I always go back to Asus. I haven't had time yet to play with it, but getting it up and running was a breeze

16+2+2 VRM Thermal Padding for m.2 EZ m.2 installation Overall high quality board

Lots of features for the price and works pretty well. Havent encountered any issues with it so far.

Looks great No gpu bifurcation Easy m.2 install pannel (4 total not bad) Good vrm and copper 8 layer pcb

I like the quality and reliability

Very heavy and solid they use a lot of metal. ATX Board, Supports socket 1851 for my intel core 9 285. Easy latch for m2 sticks, release button for PCI video Card. Debug display for troubleshooting. Z890 Chipset, reinforced pci slot, Wi-Fi 7, 10 GB Lan, dual channel DDR 5 memory with 4 slots. Support for gen 5 m2. PCI 4 and PCI 3 available for expansion. Easy build for me. Best motherboard I have had to date.

Attractive board, not gaudy, no RGB shenanigans, great possibilities 5G Lan port, runs 2.5 effortlessly Ports/connections clearly marked Extra 8-pin PCIe power socket located on lower motherboard 45-60 second memory learning, better than some BIOS update easy

I have seen several complaints regarding the compatibility of 14th generation CPUs without a BIOS update, I fortunately did not have this problem, the i5-14600KF worked, I have tested this motherboard for about 2 weeks now, at least 3 or 4 hours a day sometimes more, multiple benchmarks, games and other things, the board seems very solid so far.

36°C on full load, this motherboard works very cool. Easy to install fans, multiple Argb connection available. Asus did well on this B850 mobo, everything works pretty well. Worked out of the box with my Ryzen 5 9600X.

It's a motherboard, gets the job done and has enough slots for fans. RGB and ssd's.

Small and works good Bios flashback was a nice Its a motherboard

This MB is a beast! Has tons of USB ports, even a Type C. Posted with a string cpu, Ryzen 9 9900x and up out the X3Ds you cant go wrong here

This board fits perfectly into a 2005 LIAN-LI midtower ATX case that I like. I still like cases that take drives and I use 2 CD-DVD drives with one being a Blue ray burner. Prior to purchasing this ASUS Prime, I bought another different model Prime board from another dealer and it was determined at a computer shop to be DOA. That was a full size ATX board which I preferred, but had to change my preference and glad I did. This one is a "micro"- ATX case because it's shorter than a standard ATX size. In spite of the shortness, there was no problem fitting this MB into a full ATX case. All 8 mounting holes aligned perfectly with some of the mounting hole standoff knockouts. With LIAN-LI, square knock outs are on the board chassis because the standoffs are clips that snap into those square knockouts. The MB mounting screws go into those standoff clips. These clips are very secure if they are carefully handled. Now onto the board. I didn't have to update. A former neighbor's nephew who has a PC building business drove some 35 miles south to help me out with a Ryzen Wraith cooler installation (see my review of an AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with graphics). No update was needed as the bios/UEFI on this particular board was dated 7/31/2021 and was also the proper number which was higher than the minimum one required for the processor purchased. It's nice to now have a 64bit MB and processor after having 32 bit which was getting long in the tooth after so many years. My privious builds in that 2005 LIAN-LI was all 32bit. It's so nice that ASUS maintained legacy on the header pins with provisions for 2 USB 2 headers (for 4 front panel connectors). That ole beasty case has 4 on the bottom front, and that's great! I continue to have access to those. The shorter "micro" ATX size MB makes it way easier to access the header pins when attaching connectors like the drive light power and reset, even the case speaker which works. Less frustration, better visibility. Even though it's shorter length makes for fewer card connectors, having a pair of PCI-e's is all I really need. Looking to getting a Hauppauge HD quad video TV tuner. This MB pretty much takes anything you give to it as long as it's listed with the type of processor and memory you use. Can't find the memory you're interested in listed at ASUS? Go to the memory manufacturer's site and use their configurator and check there. That happened with my build, and G-skill had it! Use the descriptor number shown on a label on the card inside the G-skill packaging. Other brands may differ. If listed it's good to go. What ASUS may not get around to testing, the memory manufacturers may have done that. There's lots out there. And yes one more thing. The grounding plate connector cutouts align with the connector cluster on the rear of the MB with NO affect on board mounting hole alignment despite the case's age. Goes to show that when there's standards like ATX, you can use an older case and you can have the computer you love with new guts. How good is that?! Don't forget to update with a new power supply! ATX standard again, no problem. The cluster has all the standard video connections including VGA..hummmm.. It's sure versatile.

I said mid loosely because while it is a mid tier priced board, it is far from mid tier. I came from being an avid Asus fan but had some trouble with their products recently. Decided to switch and found glowing reviews for MSI. First thing I noticed, this thing is well built. Feels great in the hand. The board is visually appealing and the install is a breeze. I love the fan placement and the m.2. It has beefy vrm and it has held a solid OC on my 13900k. Also holds memory stable at 7600 mhz. Very easy to OC by the way. Also it is keeping my components much cooler than my previous Asus board.

Ryzen 9 9900X+CORSAIR Vengeance 32GB +XFX SWIFT AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT OC White The board has lightning USB 40G and wifi 7 which makes it future proof. Clear CMOS and Flash BIOS buttons are very convenient. Lots of storage options.

Easy to install Convenient port placement USB-C support on front and rear I/O
