I was basing my new build around the Ryzen 5 3600X, and this board is the perfect companion.The ATX format is now so well established I'd be surprised if anyone is in doubt about what it means, but just to make sure - as long as you are pairing this with a modern PSU you cannot really go wrong. There are one or two quirks to do with powering your graphics card, and the number of power connectors pins needed for the CPU, but a moment's research will get you all the info you need.So, from that point of view my build using this board was pretty straightforward.The only issues I had were probably to do with the ATX format itself, or may have been a slight mismatch with my case.The front panel power and LED connectors were not laid out in a helpful manner,

I bought this board for my first PC upgrade in 5 years.My previous board was an ASUS Z170A Intel board and my great experience with that board resulted in me wanting to stick with ASUS moving to AMD.First of all, the board looks the part, the I/O shield is already installed which as you will know is a blessing for fingers. The RGB on the board is subtle and doesn't take over the PC which i really like - the ROG software (aura) allows you to change how the lights flow and i managed to get this to match up with my RGB RAM.I guess all manufacturers have UEFI bios these days but I really like the ASUS bios,

This is my second X570 board after being let down by a different manufacturer.Once I had diagnosed my DOA board, I decided it was time to go back to Asus as all my previous boards have been.I picked this over the Prime and TUFF Asus boards as I wanted a balance of performance and aesthetics. I'm a week into the board now and I'm happy with the stability. The 3600X I have paired with it is running at 4.4GHz on all cores without failure; and my Corsair Vengeance Pro 3200 RAM is at full speed too.At this moment I'm not using my custom water loop as I wanted to test before putting it all in (lessons learned from my previous X570 board!)

This mother board is just awesome,First it is very very easy to set up your basic system, cpu, ram, graphics card.The tricky bit was finding which slot to put your nvme ssd drive into, for reference use the lower slot next to the chipset heatsnk with ASUS eye logo on it.The RGB is fantastic on this board if you are into that sort of thing, if not you can turn it off within the bios or using aura sync. This board is feature packed and the power delivery from the VRM's to the cpu is massive overkill, so much so, it will have zero issues powering and overclockoingth enew Ryzen 3000 series cpus even the monster 12 core 24 thread 3900X.Building a system with this board is a breeze lots of fan headers 10 in total including cpu fan header,

So I was on the the market for a new motherboard to go with my new all white RGB build. And let me just say the stock pictures dont do this justice.Of course substance is the main thing with tech but style does make a huge difference as well. Paired up inside my white Corsair carbide 275r case this looks amazing. The lights look great and really do create a nice ambience on my desk and there are so many customisation options with the included software too.But looks arent everything however I'm pleased to say the performance does not disappoint either and this motherboard has the easiest bios I've ever worked with. You can overclock your system with a few clicks with the help of easy mode or tune every little detail possible with the advanced.

I put my new build together just before the lockdown and hardware prices shot up.The more expensive "Prime" iteration might suit better if you have very specific audio output requirements, or you've got a clear rig door and want to show off your pretty build. I didn't need these things.I need decent performance. I actually had my eye on 3/4 boards, but after watching and reading a ton of reviews this was clearly miles ahead in quality. The thermals on this thing are supposed to be great and there's no problem running 3900/50 cpu's (I intend to drop something like that into my rig in the future). An alternative board I was interested in was tested with a 3950 and ACTUALLY CAUGHT FIRE.So,

I'm assuming some are looking at this mobo are also looking at the X470 version of this board as i did and thinking is the price really worth it. I'm not going to lie to you this is a worthy purchase.It is aesthetically pleasing and a strong build too it just feels like someone has taken their time to design and build this. A ton of SATA connections, the USB-C is nice touch to, has a MDMI 2.0 and Display port built in. Also Heatsinks for M.2, never thought you would need it but definitely a nice feature to have, so if you are buying a NVMe there is no need to get one with a heatsink (save yourself some monies).This Mobo does have RGB but it's not in your face kind of RGB, almost subtle.

*EDI the auto ram oc feature cause my computer to fail post 1/3 times. Since I'm not really tech savy in overclocking my ram I set back ro normal and it works fine. I just need a stable computer for digital rendering anyway.This was used in my first ever build. It's working like a champ no issues as of this moment (knock on wood) the lighting is nice, but as mentioned in previous comments can be blocked depending on what the GPU size is. The two main issues when building my pc was that I had to download the instruction manual online which was way more detailed that the crappy one that came with the box. And secondly removing the plastic was a pain. Be really careful with it to make sure you don't rip prices off.

Asus crosshair x570 viii heroWow what a motherboard, I was put off by the high price to start off with all good amd x570 motherboards cost more then the x470.The motherboard is a premium. Packaging was nice, and the motherboard looks amazing. It was easy to install. First turned on my pc and the motherboard rebooted 3 times (heart in mouth time) but then come on I then installed my windows and stuff. I then changed my ram to the amp of 3600 in bios (which was easy) it picked up my cl16 kit and set the right timings and stuff and been rock solid ever sinceThe motherboard has a lot of rob headers 7 fan headers water pump section which I use all in my 3900x/2080ti build I have and its never missed a beat.The motherboard bios is excellent and properly the best vie used.

Overall, the motherboard performs exactly as expected. The onboard sound card it provides is great. I did not need to purchase an amplifier for my headphones. The RGB lighting on the motherboard looks amazing but the bottom right lighting can be blocked depending on the size of your GPU. I had a triple fan 1070ti gigabyte gpu so It obviously blocked mine. The PCIE slot for the GPU is plastic so it isn’t as strong, so I recommend removing the GPU if you’re going to transport it. I’m not entirely sure how well it may hold up thicker cards. Another thing I disliked about the motherboard was the areas I needed to peel off the plastic so that it wouldn’t melt.

Purchased to go into my white build and drive my Ryzen 3700X. Looks great in my case and no complaints about peformance. The RGB can now even be controlled by Corsair iCUE software, which is a nice plus. The BIOS is solid although lacks some of the more in-depth 'Extreme' tweaking options you get from the STRIX or ROG ranges. Thankfully there's nothing to gain in overclocking Ryzen 3000 series anyway, but if you are intent on doing so then this might not be the board for you.X570 as a platform is a little expensive and arguably doesn't represent as good value for money as an equally compatible X470 or even B350 motherboard, but if you want the most future-proof and up to date technology it's the price you pay.

This motherboard has no extras like bios flash back, mem ok, c mos switch ,etc but it does the important basic things right.According to hardware unboxed on youtube this has the best vrm of any board in its price range,stays really cool,i am only using a 3600x but it good too know in the furture if a want to bung a say 3950x it wouldnt be a problem for this board.Bios was well out of date but updated to the latest with no problem,set the ram to the stated speed 3600mhz and tightened the timings with the ryzen dram software all when smoothly.little bit of rgb on the chipset fan which is completly coverd by my graphics card,theres really not much room for overclocking with my 3600x but it does

I've always gone for ASUS boards as they've never let me down. I got this in a black-Friday deal.As you'd expect, its a well built board and looks very well in person. I have not use the on-board m.2 SSD slots so I cant comment on that aspect of it, but there was no compatibility issues with my 3600X, Corsair RAM and EVGA graphics card, which one would expect.It has managed a light overclock on the 3600x, achieving 4.25GHz on all cores.The WiFi and Bluetooth are fast, and the range on the WiFi is great. Its a great feature to have on a desktop PC.The only thing that I believe it could improve on would be a USB 3.1 gen2 front header.All in all, if you're looking for a X570 board and want value for money,

In the end i could only get windows 10 spyware edition on my new computer once on i downloaded Linux Mint (Cinnamon) works great just as easy as windows to install. With no win10 keylogging, forced restarts and Forced candycrunch software installs etc. I recommend to buy from (Dispatched from and sold by Amazon). If it says (Sold by CompanyName and Fulfilled by Amazon) Amazon are just doing storage and delivery of product. So it's down to the honesty of the 3rd party company NOT AMAZON for the condition of the product. If your building a pc always do a model search on manufacturer website to check all hardware is supported and it's what you need.
