This no frills Asus Strix MB installed cleanly and loading Windows 11 was a joy using a "Rufus" bootable flash drive. I was even able to re-use an old Windows 10 license key from my work Microsoft ActionPack. I'm elated I built this pc as early as I did....prices of DDR5 ram have tripled in price....ouch! This is my first AIO enabled pc and the absence of fan noise is amazingly welcome.

-Stable -Plug and Play -great compatibility -good IO -easy to use bios -all m.2 slots cant be used without taking lanes from your GPU

The company who builds my PC's are very good. They had nothing but issues with the mother board and cpu. Newegg were nothing but great and made things so much easier. I know have a great PC and will be sure to pass along the highest recommendation to everyone I know in the industry.

Wifi Built in

Clean look and easy BIOS Keeps my 265k boosted as high as other more expensive boards

Plenty of I/O, 3 M.2 drives, PCIE5, wifi (haven't tested this yet). Quiet fan curve by default but stays cool, my 250K at 100+ watts is barely over 50, while nothing else on the board is out of the 30's. No issues applying XMP timings. The main workload I bought this for a heavily threaded Python app with a lot pillow usage and perceptual hashing limited by memory bandwidth. This is a whole lot faster than my 11700k and has been rock solid. Probably nothing to stress the 8 phase power delivery, which is fine with me!
