Relatively easy installation, accepted a 2nd fan perfectly
Pros: Fit perfectly on my ASUS Prime Z390-A, room left to fit other components without issue Seems to keep my CPU cool Comes with bracket to add a second fan Black edition looks nice.
Cons: Bracket to attach fans can be a bit finnicky, but once it's on there's no issue.
Overall Review: Great if you don't feel like dealing with watercooling but don't want to completely cheap out.
Great Motherboard, but the having trouble with the AI overclock
Pros: Great heat syncs on various components Made my build easy to put together All the features needed for a gaming PC
Cons: AI Overclocking feature makes my machine crash every few hours (i7-9700k, 2080ti), error messages seem to indicate it's the CPU. RGB headers are NOT ARGB headers. Minor gripe, seems like everything is ARGB now. LED1_CON slot, which is indicated in the manual, is covered up by plastic/heat sync/RGB components and not usable.
Overall Review: A great motherboard with some very minor issues. I was a bit bummed the AI overclocking resulted in crashes - it's entirely possible that it's an issue with the CPU, so take that feedback with a grain of salt. The RGB header not being ARGB is a minor annoyance that I just didn't realize I cared about when I bought the board.
Great price and performance
Pros: Super fast. Easy to install in the m.2 slot Cheap
Overall Review: This is my first m.2 style SSD. It's amazing.
