Most Critical Review

Doesn't work well with ASUS Motherboards

G.SKILL Trident Z Royal Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin RGB DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 4266 (PC4 34100) Desktop Memory Model F4-4266C19D-16GTRG

Pros: Looks great

Cons: I own a I9 7900K Asus Ramoage Extreme VI and I kept having POST errors and AF Detect memory errors. Even with fine tuning I was only able to get 4064Mhz from the ram. My board supports up to 4266 Mhz OC. I kept getting AF Memory read errors anytime I had to restart the PC. Kept having to boot into BIOS just to get some value from such high priced ram. Wish it performed as good as it look. Not stable on Asus Intel boards if you want stability and high OC speeds.

Very Disappointed

Pros: Looked and ran nicely in the beginning Looks good in a build

Cons: RMAed once and board's waterblock sprung leaks by having cracks in the glass of the waterblock on the new board as well Waterblock is poorly designed for the price point Boring BIOS

Overall Review: I bought this board early in it's cycle because it was to be my main watercooled pc. Three weeks after purchase I noticed a leak and blue fluid coming down on my Kingpin 2080 Ti. Checked the seals and they were good. The leaks were coming from inside the block! Had cracks all in the glass on the inside. Returned the board for a replacement with Newegg. They were good. The new board worked fine for a while and low a behold my white case was stained with all blue! Two lessons learned, never use color in a white case and never trust a plumber to do the job of an electrician! In other words, let Asrock make MB but leave waterblock designs to the people who know how to do it right. Now I got to take a loss and sell online and decided to go back to Asus. No more Asrock for me. I would not recommend this board unless you use a 3rd party waterblock manufacturer. The board is good but at its price the block needed to be designed better.
