This has been a breeze since my older b650e riptide board died on me this board was a panic purchase. for 150 on sale this was a great board and is a good board. i hope i can get 5-10 years out of it with the 10 usb ports anbd future cpu upgrade.

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

Power delivery NVME support and design GPU lock Not flashy design with annoying RGB Debug codes for easier diagnostic

The motherboard worked perfectly right from the start. Caveat - I did flash the latest BIOS into it before loading Windows. I am using a Ryzen 9 9900X and initially used the internal gpu. Later when I installed the graphics card the motherboard recognized it immediately and adjusted accordingly. Due to heat problems I have not done any overclocking, but it looks easy enough. Trivial, but I really like the installation clip for M.2 SSD.

Lots of features to make installation easy.

Works. Cool.

- 3 M.2 slots - USB Gen 2x2 (20GB USB C) on back panel and Gen 2 (10GB USB C) for case front panel - Decent VRM heatsinks - 6 PWM fan headers - BIOS is easy to navigate and setup - Seems well built


Exceptional build quality Excellent BIOS So far, annoyance and glitch-free Very cool innovations in cooling (Thermal Matrix, RAM Wind Shroud) Flawless PCIE lane assignment in PCI-dense configuration Awesome cable management options

This motherboard works perfectly with my 9800x3D and 32GB 6000 c30 DDR5 setup. It runs smoothly and relaibly with the overclocked setup.

- Price per feature is a big plus - Beautiful board, very aesthetically pleasing - IO is loaded and has just what I need

I loved the motherboard design. It simplifies the screw process and also has a good BIOS design for customizing everything.

The mobo itself is solid. Worked great since October. The odd time or 2 it would get stuck booting or lose track up my sata SSD. Figured it was new platform woes. So I updated the bios.


Pairing this board with Ryzen 7 9800X3D and RX 7900 XTX and (2x32) 64GB RAM, I'm getting a mind blowing performance in both gaming and productivity work loads like 3D rendering and modeling video/photo editing, OBS streaming/endcoding etc... and the system is super stable ! Definitely this is the Best Mini ITX board, I love it !

- Super clean design - 4 M.2 Slots - PCIE Gen 5.0 - Fantastic IO

1. Updating the BIOS with only a PSU connection and USB stick (with the updated BIOS). The one important thing to know is WHICH USB slot in the IO plate is the "appropriate" one to auto-detect the BIOS. Read the manual, or see the short video at the ASRoc site. 2. Able to apply XMP as well as EXPO profiles. I chose one G.Skill set (from the QVL) with only an XMP'profile, but the MB applied it without a hitch. Ran memtest86 on the RAM -no errors. 3. Able to establish RAID arrays with SATA, as well as NVMe drives. 4. One of the few MBs with 6 SATA ports -some of us still need multiple HDDs for data storage. 5. Optical sound connection -This MB can output right into my 5.1 receiver and play music with no issues.

The lighting, ease of installation and LOTS of USB in the back.

ONE OF THE BEST MOTHERBOARDS YOU WILL FIND ON THE MARKET THIS 2026 AESTHETICALLY THE BEST

- Sleek black design with silver accents looks amazing, especially in white-themed builds imo. - The heatsinks look great, they really make it look "tough"... Tuf? - Smart, intuitive layout makes fan and cable connections effortless and no cables running across the entire motherboard or over components. - Armoury Crate and ASUS DriverHub streamline setup and updates flawlessly. - Solid performance and stability with the Ryzen 9 7900X and DDR5 memory with EXPO enabled in my case. - Quality feel throughout, this is not the most expensive motherboard from ASUS, but you sure feel quality and that premium feeling from the moment you unbox it.
