Most Favorable Review

The more I learn, the happier I am with my choice of ASUS!

ASUS ROG Strix Z390-H Gaming Motherboard LGA1151 (Intel 8th and 9th Gen) ATX DDR4 DP HDMI M.2 USB 3.1 Gen2 Gigabit LAN

Pros: As a first time PC builder (been using laptops since the beginning of time), this made my build a lot easier. Two case fan headers, PWM support too (learned what that was in the last week!), and as soon as you install windows (then boot to it), it installs the shell program that gets every other driver installed!! Clicked device manager, no question marks or uninstalled drivers at all!! It installs Fan Xpert 4, and you can manually control your buttons with (an annoying) pop up program and click the fan speed you want. This version doesn't have wifi, but that's okay. USB wifi isn't too bad, and I sit right next to my 8 port gigabit switch because I have Google Fiber, and want all of my Gigabit speeds. Updated the bios the day I got it (Wednesday, Nov 28th) and there was already another update to 1002 a couple days after I got it. Updated to that! If I had the extra money, I would of went with the -E version, as it has WiFi and heatsinks for the NVMe drive I use. Plus it has two RGB headers (The H has just one) and an addressable rgb header (whatever the heck that means!).

Cons: Cheaper board, less features than the E or above.

Overall Review: Google "wwjoshdew" and I posted a YouTube video called "I built my First Desktop". I used this board in that video.
