Pros: 5 way optimization. The sound is just as good as boards that cost twice the price. It has all you need for gaming.

Cons: Not any. I have used Asus for a long time and have NEVER had an issue.

Overall Review: This board will save you money and perform better/same than other boards that cost twice as much. I will always use ASUS when it comes to computers.

Overall Review: I just upgraded from my old 850 evo. It was just fine and I had it for almost 5 years. I migrated everything over and it was a breeze. The speed is there and so is the quality. SSD's are one thing that Samsung knocks it out of the park with and I will always include one in my future builds.

Overall Review: I bought this for my new I7 12700k build. During my stress test, I was getting 60c. So this heatsink works well out of the box. However.. It said it was LGA 1700 ready but I quickly found out it is not. I had to buy the mounting brackets separately. So that added 10 bucks to the price tag. The price is a little high considering you can get cooler master products that work just as well for less. Still is not a bad buy overall.

Overall Review: I just built my 4th Asus computer and upgraded to the I7 12700k. I cant believe how much of a jump it was from my old 8700. If you know anything about gaming, I was able to load a minecraft world on maximum chunks in less than a second. The fans made zero noise. I could not believe it. Intel is far in the lead right now. I tried one AMD build back about 6 years ago. I wanted to give them a shot. Out of all the computers I have built it was the only one where I had a failure. The processor died on me after just 2 years. No overclocking. I will always run Intel and I strongly recommend Asus as well. They have never failed me.

Overall Review: This is my 4th Asus build. The upgrade was easy and the board is working great. The drivers and software from the website are there. The Suite 3 is awesome software for optimization. I notice cool board temps under load. No complaints. I will continue to use Asus in the future. Quality hardware.

Overall Review: I bought this for my last build. It kept my I7 8700 CPU around 52c under load. I am upgrading to a 1700 socket and do not need it anymore. Performance vs cost makes this a no brainer.

The heatsink is great. It keeps my cpu cool while its under load. The only issue I had is it did not come with all the components I needed to install to a LGA 1700 intel socket. On the website it clearly stated that it was 1700 ready. However I was missing the brackets. I had to order them separate. They were 11 dollars. Other than that the cooler is awesome and keeps great temps.
