Bought this because I wanted the best of the best, everything about this was going to help build a monster pc. I love most ASUS products and I thought for sure this was going to be worth the money. Had it for about a year, new bios update came out... updated because the computer seemed sluggish and I couldn't figure out why (several post suggested updating the bios) did the update and dang was the computer fast again. It was better than when I first built it. Super excited I load into one of my favorite games, it the game for about 5 minutes when I hear a pop and everything shuts down. I look at my tower as a cloud of smoke comes pouring out of it. One of the capacitors fried and in the process destroyed my ryzen 7700k and my 32gb or RAM. I had to start all over on the build. After doing some research on this, turns out ASUS knew about the problem. I called to try to get it RMA and was told it was out of the warranty time.

Alles war klasse

He adquirido tarjetas madre de ASUS desde 2014.Nunca me dieron problemas, siempre estables, y cuentan con una plataforma sencilla, ajustes intuitivos, fácil de entender que cambios realizas para obtener los resultados que esperas, o se acercan a lo que buscas.En este caso, me tocó una tarjeta que resultó inestable. Mis sospescheas iniciaron con el arranque, en otro sistema, el arranque tomaba menos de 10 segundos. El inicio podría tomar cerca de dos minutos en una instalación nueva de Windows, se esperaría ese comportamiento la primera vez que se arranca un sistema nuevo, por aquello del "entrenamiento" que realiza Ryzen, no cada vez que se inicia.Más problemas aparecieron un par de semanas después, utilizando Chrome y youtube, empecé a notar que dejaba de responder, al azar, sin manera de replicar el problema. Simplemente ocurría un par de horas después de arrancar, o no ocurría para nada... o bien, un par de horas jugando, entrar a Chrome, y de la nada el sistema dejaba de responder. Había casos en los que probando, la deje toda la noche, con una lista automática en youtube, nada.En algun punto arrojó un error de pantalla azul con un error de "power". Fue la única ocasion que arrojó un error, y pantalla azul, en ninguna ocasión repitió esto. Usualmente, no respondía y se tenía que forzar el reinicio.Los errores en windows no arrojaban nada concreto, algunos mencionaban compatibilidad de drivers, se actualizaron, mismo resultado, inestablidad.Frustrado, decidí reinstalar Windows, se instalaron drivers y de inmediato al querer ver algo en youtube, deja de responder.Se relizaron pruebas en RAM, no arroja errores, se estresa el CPU, sin problemaSe utilizó un 7800X3D, RAM Corsair Vengeance 6000MT/s.Sin llegar a encontrar solución, opté por la devolución. No tengo comentarios negativos contra el vendedor, simplemente cayó en la estadística de tener una tarjeta madre con problemas.Con una tarjeta madre nueva, el arranque es inmediato, sin problemas.

I built my system and was able to post, but it did take a little time the first boot. I was generally happy with the state of the BIOS version that shipped with the board. I was a little nervous to flash a new BIOS because my PC was mostly stable, didn't seem to really be having any memory issues, and there was that fiasco with voiding your warranty using officially released BIOS from Asus (what a joke). BUT, all that warranty stuff has been corrected and I finally decided to update the BIOS to the latest version for stability reasons.It wasn't often, but I DID notice that my system would abruptly crash and reboot (No blue screen, no warning, just like the monitor would turn off and system would reboot) randomly out of nowhere.It wasn't enough to give me concern or anything, but still I wanted to identify the issue and get it ironed out. So I finally decided to update the BIOS to the latest version (at time of review- version 1415), I made sure that all of my drivers were the latest versions from Asus's website, then installed all updates that I had for Windows 11- basically dotted all my i's and crossed all my t's.I'm happy to report that after almost a week or so I haven't experienced any crash or hiccup and everything seems to be operating stable and no issues to report.I know that there's a lot of people complaining about their Asus boards and issues they're having, but I always take these complaints with a grain of salt because I don't know how experienced these users are at building pc's, and more so- troubleshooting issues they may be experiencing or if they even bothered to update their BIOS in the first place. Some users expect a simple plug and play experience (which isn't unreasonable) but when we are talking about a BRAND NEW platform and chipset- well, as you are aware of, there are sometimes growing pains and a maturation process that just takes a little time.The quality of this board is TOP NOTCH. It has virtually every feature you could want or need (although 10gb Ethernet at this price point is not asking for too much), the BIOS are robust and take some time to find all the settings, but they're there! Lol, you can fine-tune and customize every aspect of your system.Auras Sync works great between all my peripherals and components. I mean, Idk what else to tell you. Board was a first time go. No major issues and after my first BIOS update- NO ISSUES to speak of. It looks great, it works great. That's what I paid for and I got my money's worth so far.I've owned 4 or 5 Asus motherboards, used in personal rigs and I've never had a problem with any of them. I not only recommend their products but continue to purchase them myself. It would take a lot to get me to purchase a board from another manufacturer at this point, but this is just my opinion and experience.

After a lot of messy about including upgrading my memory to 2x GSkill Z5 NEO 48 GB DDR 5 5600 overclocked to 6000 MT/s, this motherboard has been working very well for a year now. Initialy it would take around 2/3 minutes to boot into windows, but swapping the memory and many BIOS updates have now solved that, and I can start using Windows 10 after 50 seconds or so.I also have 3 x 4TB M.2 Gen 4 SSDs and 1 x 4TB Gen 5 SSD all of which work perfectly well with this system (and in parallel), the Gen 5 also does not degrading the PCIe GPU lanes with bifurcation (I have a 4090). Machine learning on this machine (NN training, and even LLM inference) works exceptionally fast. With the Ryzen 32 core 7950x CPU also breezing through my heavy ML workloads quite easily, especially coupled with the 96 GB, I can basically leave most things running without any performance degradation.Now I have achanged my mind about this MB, and would recommend this as its pretty mature, just make sure you buy the right memory to go with it, also I did put in a 1200W PSU.---Original review 2023Lots of ticks in boxes for the sales and marketing team, but this board is a serious mess. For the money I can't believe its this bad. It's unstable, ASUS publish BIOS updates that make the system less stable/worse, then ASUS realise this and start to ask people to rollback the BIOS version, or to use a beta version, or dont use a beta version etc. Mixed messages, half tested BIOS updates. The 7950 I am using has hit 96.5 degress regularly and this is without me overclocking anything, I am using a 3 fan 330 radiator AIO where the liquid hits 32 degress, it the AMD spike in clock that causes the fast heat, so not much cooling is going to help that. The main problem is that this MB has never been stable, setting it up is a massive PITA, becuase it can take 5 minutes to boot, or often jumps past the BIOS key press screen, or the BIOS or BOOT screen never even show up on the monitor etc. A few times I've needed to reset the CMOS, and these are all things I have never had to do before with my last 5 builds in 4 years. Last build was a 5950 with an Aorus Master, and I had a few problems with USB ports but it was always booting quickly, and easy to get into the BIOS etc. If I could go back in time I would, and not buy into PCIe 5 (No GPUs support it, and NVMe M.2 SSDs PCIe Gen 5 wont be much faster than PCIe Gen 4 M.2 SSDs for standard use cases. I would forget the idea of DDR5 being faster than DDR4 (you wont find decent DDR 5 memory that can get to the M/Ts they advertise anyway - doesnt matter what the settings. And overclocking ? Dont make me laugh - you'd need a PhD in embedded electonics, and System design to figure out half the un-documented settings in the BIOS, and luck to get something that can be overclocked, and you dont fry.This is a scam product, avoid it, use a 4090 with a 5950 and DDR 4, with PCIe Gen 4 for the next 2 years. Upgrade once things start working properly .

No tenia las peliculas de proteccion, no venia sellada la caja, no tiene el protector de socket y pues obviamente venian doblados unos pines del socketCreo que era una de las que devolvieron por que hasta pasta termica tenia embarrada no da la opcion de reemplazo tampoco

Very nice motherboard. No problems at all and is very stable. 7900X processor running 5500mhz on all cores with power reduced and thermal limit set @ 85C. Never passes mid 70s C in 1 hour Aida 64 stability tests. I have a custom loop with an extra thick 360 radiator from Alphacool and using EK's Velocity2 AM5 block.I think where most people are having issues is not the motherboard, but the memory. Did a lot of research and settled on a 64Gb 6000 kit from G.skill. Was on the compatible list both from G.skill and ASUS. I also upgraded the BIOS to the latest available before I even began building. Booted right up, about a minute or so to run the memory test, then right into BIOS. Set the memory up, saved and rebooted. After I finished configuring everything else and had rebooted a few times, I set Memory Context Restore so that it doesn't have to do the memory testing every time and it boots to windows in about 20-25 seconds now.Buy components that match the quality of the board, check compatibility carefully, see what is working for others, and you'll end up with a very nice PC. Don't try to run 4 sticks of RAM unless you want to run it at very low speeds. This is an AMD thing, not ASUS and as far as I know, there are no 128Gb kits available yet. Any time you mix kits, you are asking for trouble. That's not an AMD thing, its a PC thing.Bought this board because it had every feature I wanted and a few that I don't need yet. Was a little concerned about all the negative comments I've read but have not had the first issue and couldn't be more pleased with the purchase.Yes, it's an expensive board, but you know that up front. With parts availability what they have been lately, I was just happy to get everything I needed. But what you get for the money is a very high performance system that just exudes quality. I'm looking at it as a long term investment that should be serve me well for years. Oh...and it's fast!Combo that worked for me:G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO RGB Series (AMD Expo) 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin SDRAM DDR5 6000 CL30-40-40-96 F5-6000J3040G32GX2-TZ5NR2 - SAMSUNG 980 PRO SSD 2TB PCIe NVMeAMD Ryzen™ 9 7900X 12-Core
