Pros: Got the board last year and still working great. I'm glad I bought the board at sale price $445 with $100 rebate from Asus. It saved me time and money from buying cpu water block separately. The RGB on the board was awesome especially the monoblock. Besides RGB, I was able to overclocked my I7-7700k to 5.0 ghz stable so far.
Cons: dealer sent me an open box when l paid for a brand new item. There were finger prints all over the water block and mobo. Plus I have to modify my case to fit the mobo.
Overall Review: ok buy if you get a brand new mobo.
Pros: the water block is cooper and stainless ,not aluminum beautiful RGB nice BIOS and functions
Cons: mobo and waterblock has been someone opened,not a brand new one and never opened rebate maybe need several month if you dont use water block you dont have any heatsink for VRM and M.2 E-atx is not friendly for most of cases
Overall Review: i recommend this mobo for who have 7700K, 160 for a flagship mobo is worth
Overall Review: This is fantastic CPU waterblock for a unit design from Asus. The waterblock come with leak warning sensor around the liquid fitting. This is my first build with factory CPU waterblock and it was easy after read the manual and follow the step. I am disagree someone blame Asus when who mess-up and not follow the RMA instruction to send out defected item for repair. I had excellent experience with ASUS (USA) customer service (RMA) and live chat associate. They did excellent and professional job. My device was fixed and return to me (of course I am patient wait for their detail diagnose entire system but not just what was my issue).
Pros: -Great performance for a ROG standard
Cons: Received motherboard with the chassis motherboard RGB header defective, blue is always on so i never get a pure red (shows violet), or green (shows teal). I did the RMA repair process, they sent it back to me saying they could not replicate the fault. After many calls and "escalations" They want me to tear it down again and send it back for round two. I did not get the quality for the price I paid.
Overall Review: would not recommend, find another manufacturer besides ASUS, at the least dont trust their repair process
Pros: Very nice board full of everything you could want. copper and nickel water block.
Cons: Price!
Overall Review: On my second board now and I'm still having issues. first board had problem with rgb lighting and flow indicator didn't turn. Second board does not give a reading for outlet temp and flow rate but indicator does turn. This is very unacceptable for a board that costs 700cdn. I will have to rma the board again meaning take apart my PC again for the second time. Anyone with a custom water cooled computer or any complicated system can feel my pain!
Pros: This is the very advanced motherboard, You need time andpatience with this as it is not plug n play. Works great Lots of fan headers
Cons: Only has 2x USB 2.0 headers, which was problematic for me, since I could not connect my SD card reader from case Manual needs refining, Tubing installation for monoblock was missing which resulted in an error by me as well as RGB headers of monoblock have a specific way to be connected which was not mentioned.
Pros: Monoblock was easy to install. I watched a YouTube video to get it done as the manual wasn't too detailed. Everything is working just fine from what I can tell. I was able to push my i7 7700k to 4.9 Ghz and RAM to 3600Mhz.
Cons: I wish the PSU connections were not at 90 degree angles. My case is an inwin 303 and the optional power connections for PCIE are blocked. If they were front facing this wouldn't be an issue.
Overall Review: I'm getting a Q code of bF. ASUS support says this Q code has not been assigned to anything so I guess the Q code just means there is no issue.
Pros: Everything and the kitchen sink watercooling board
Cons: It's not cheap, but you knew that if you were looking for this.
Overall Review: Didn't know what to expect when I hit the buy button on this since I couldn't find it anywhere else and Newegg proper isn't listing it but I got mine in short order from etronix and it booted up just fine with air cooler for boot and proc burn in testing. I'm working on a big water cooling setup and that will take more time to setup. I will update when I have the full loop installed.
