Pros: This board used as a build for grandson's first rig liked the built in features Wifi 6, takes Intel 12th Gen CPU, PCIe5(for future upgrading) Thunderbolt ready, Windows 11 ready, the board itself feels sturdy had to use a fair amount of force to seat the memory sticks properly. BTW the retainer clips did close all the way on first attempt without the memory sticks being fully seated only figured that out after system wouldn't post up so did the reseat pushed in harder and then all OK
Cons: As another reviewer said the rear panel cover doesn't seem to fit well, was it the manufacturing by Asus or the slot in my ATX case off? Had to do some Dremel work on it.
Used memory slots 2&4 but that first slot is pretty close to the CPU/cooler so for users who need to use all 4 memory slots might be an issue
Took a little while to do updates/load all the drivers/update BIOS(used EZ Flash 3) not really a con got to figure a 'new board' software changes inevitable from manufacturing time to purchase
Overall Review: Think a reasonable price for a 'Latest board' looking forward to videocards eventually coming down in price so grandson can upgrade his gaming experience
Pros: It finally works

Cons: Where to start?
First I thought it was dead. HDMI on motherboard did not work out of the box had to update.
Had to use a GPU to get iGpu to work because would not display ANYTHING.
Tried every part to fix this issue wondering why it would not post...luckily I have other GPUs lying around but still aggravating when you are stressing over which brand new part is messing up.
Overall Review: Maybe not for beginner builders
Manufacturer Response:

Cons: the Mobo arrived broken... set up the entire PC hit the power button and nothing happened... no lights, no fans no anything.... 2 different known working PSU and 5 more hours of reinstalling everything.... still nothing... contacted asus and shipped it back to them.....10 days later after I have heard nothing, also i had to pay for shipping to which is super awesome.... I have been a long time asus user... but the experience marks the last time i will use an Asus Mobo.... I will update if i ever get my board back and it works.
Overall Review: not recommending to anyone ever.....
Manufacturer Response:
Dear Valued Customer,
It's unfortunate to hear that the unit came dead on arrival and you had to ship it in for repair. What you've experienced was not intentional and this was a random case. If you wish to follow up, feel free to reach out to me at customerloyalty@asus.com and provide this link for reference. I'll do my best to provide a quick resolution to your case. Your feedback is important as it helps with improvements to ASUS Support channels.
Thank you for choosing ASUS!

Cons: - Slightly different size than current atx mobo which causes it to just barely miss a little support on the main mobo power connector.
Overall Review: Overall, this has been part of a great build. Has ARGB, AIO pump header, and all the connectors I needed for my newest build. The machine runs great and the board has extras that I can use at a later date for further upgrades.

Memory Channel Failure - Same problem as others have reported.3/8/2022 7:23:26 AM
Overall Review: This motherboard has 4 memory slots ... A1, A2, B1, B2. I have two G. Skill memory modules from the Asus Memory Compatibility List. The motherboard will not boot with a memory module in A1 or A2. I have updated the BIOS to the latest version and attempted every memory module configuration the I can imagine. All with no success. It appears that this board has a bad memory channel.
Manufacturer Response:
Dear Valued Customer,
It's unfortunate to hear that your unit failed to boot with the memory module. This is not the kind of experience we want any of our customers to have. Are you hearing a beep code? Please attempt to reset the CMOS battery and try one memory chip in each DIMM slot. For further troubleshooting, feel free to reach out to me at customerloyalty@asus.com and provide this link for reference. I'll do my best to provide a quick resolution to your case. Your feedback is important as it helps with improvements to ASUS Support channels.
