So, I really like this motherboard. Features are great, it looks nice, good slots and ports, everything you could want.My problem is, the first one I ordered had two problems with it. Firstly, 1 pin in the CPU socket was completely missing. Not bent, completely gone! Now, I don't know if this was a manufacturing problem that was overlooked or if it somehow came out during shipment but nonetheless, one was missing. And this caused a very annoying issue for me in that Windows 10 installation would freeze and I'd have to restart my whole computer to get it to reset. I knew for a fact it wasn't my hardware so I just got unlucky.Secondly, and this one is more obscure,

I got this motherboard today and also a I9 10900k CPU, I installed it into my Cooler Master PC ATX case with little problems. The motherboard is excellent at keeping the temps down on the new CPU, I have done many benchmarks that prove the new i9 10900k does run at much less temps at higher speed then it's predecessor. This board is similar to my older Asus XI code and was easy to get around. I played BFV at 4k Ultra settings with a safe OC of 5.2ghz and a off set to 5.1ghz all cores, temps never past 67c, my older i9 9900k hit higher temps at 4.9ghz. The new CPU is capable of a higher clock speed but I didn't push it too far until further testing and updates.

Bit of an unfair review but I will try and be fair. I down graded from an Aorus master, that mother board was brilliant but faulty. anyway Asus Bios are very user friendly compared to gigabyte. You need to upgrade bios straight away stability problems. board is average looking, great rgb settings compared to Aorus. temps on board are fine, ram Oc good after bios update. running i9 9900k at 5hz and ram 16gb at3900mhz stability seems fine after bios update. One Major problems is I cant seem to get my Samsung 970 pro m.2 ssd to work. some times it does and majority of the time doesn't recognise. so avoid if using Samsung products. I had to reinstall windows on different SSD. Motherboard bit pricey for what you get,

Fantastic motherboard, SUPER high quality as expected.Only real issue I had was that the pre loading of "Asus Armoury" is outdated, even after a BIOS update.Recommend getting all the drivers from the ASUS site.Some ports aren't descripted properly on the manual, for first timers, the manual is rather useless to figure out what ports are where.However, these are all my personal opinions on the paperwork.The actual product is great, quiet, subtle RGB features, feature packed.Easily handes 8 RGB fans and plenty of handy IO.Weak wifi unless you equip the extender (dongle), the dongle could have done with some kind of side mount or an adhesive or velco to stick to the side of a case or such, the wired,

Bought this motherboard along with an i7 9700k to start my fresh new build. All arrived nicely packaged and was very easy to install. I needed this version for WIFI and it came with the ariel needed for this.Installed a M2 SSD and got it all booted into the Bios and upgraded to latest version very very easy, also nice and easy to run your ram at the right Mhz (3200 in my instance)The logo lights up aswell.Would recommend and would buy ASUS again next time

Really great motherboard which I use with an i7 9700K and an RTX 2080 ASUS ROG Strix card. Packaged really well which all the appropriate cables I needed. Very simple to install in my case (Corsair 500D) and looks really good, I/O shield comes pre-mounted which is very useful.I went for the bluetooth version which works very well with my headphones, no additional work needed there.It's a very good looking board, with good quality connections and great RGB.

I recently bought this for my new PC build and its the first time I've installed a motherboard in a long time so with it being an easy to install motherboard with preinstall IO shield made it so easy for me.The UEFI Bios is very easy to understand and set up everything when you first switch on your PC.Aesthetically I love the RGB lights it brings a cool look to my case at night.I would recommend it to anyone!

If you use this with a 9900K, be careful that the board doesn't automatically overvolt the CPU with Asus's default CPU over clocking thingy. Very aggressive over volting caused my temp to spike at 105c with a Noctua NH-D15 dual fan + Thermal Grizzly kryonaut! I turned off that stupid feature and now it can run stable at 5 GHz under 85. Otherwise a decent motherboard for the price.

To start with, check your BIOS version because mine was quite out of date and so had many issues with my pc (BSOD every few hours). Take all the proper precautions and research when updating. Once updated I have not had an issue. Apart from that it is a fantastic board with all the features I wanted. The interface for the BIOS is great, especially the ai tweaker for overclocking.

I bought the Z390-E version and its great, I love the aesthetics. I haven't had any problems yet (hopefully it stays that way). However, I did get a BSOD randomly when I was working on an Excel document and I performed a bios update (version 602 to 905) and I haven't had a BSOD since, but the motherboard may have not been the problem.

The Z390-F Gaming is a beast! I've got a I9 installed and it all works as expected. Its powerful, fast and feature rich. plenty of usb ports. The aura synch works as expected. overclocking is simple and easy. I prefer the new IO shield as opposed to the old type slot style. it doesn't have Bluetooth.Overall an excellent buy.

This is a fantastic motherboard. Very easy to customise and if you're not an expert at overclocking, this mobo does a fairly decent job for you!Looks great, with RGB above the I/O shield controlled through either Asus' Aura Sync or Armoury Crate.I would recommend doing a BIOS update before anything else though.

I needed an upgrade from my old Gen i7 to support my new 2080ti and of course didn't want to go with any other brand than Asus's ROG. its been stable as heck to overclock and reliable throughout everything. I dont have any complaint at all about this board. Brilliant, would recommend. Another awesome ROG board

Brilliant board. Use this daily for easily 12 hours for my home work (as im isolating at present) and for gaming.I run all the latest games maxed out no issues.The bios is ok, its a tad more complicated than some other boards but it does the job.I would highly recommend

Very powerful moba but had a big scare when i first powered on my pc it wouldnt boot to the system installation... turns out a simpile bio update fixed no probelm but kinda not acceptable for somthing so valuable.
