There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Playing triple A games at the highest visual settings at 1080p or even 1440p has been great.
Some people have been hyperbolic about the whole voltage regulator modules (VRM) being toasty. Not a problem what so ever.
I live in hot Arizona and the heat does not diminish performance by any visible means nor does it catch on fire or melt your board lol. Also, it is extremely easy to apply small aluminum passive heat sinks over them if you are worried about the heat. Which you shouldn't be in this case.
It's capable of withstanding these temps and on my system, I do have an over head fan blowing down on the board which helps push out the heat through the back vent fan.
As far as everything else goes, I find this to be a very affordable, beautiful and well made motherboard (provided you didn't get screwed at QC which is possible with any parts you buy).
I've been playing lots of games with it and also editing some 1080p movies, which was also very nice. I honestly have no complaints. I did try overclocking my Ryzen and that ran well too, but I put it back to stock because I just didn't see any reason to bother with it. Everything ran beautifully at stock settings.
The LED light symbol is neat and I like that I can change the colors to static or various color patterns via the Asus software you download online. The software seems to work well.
The little label plate thing on what looks to be the north bridge area, is imho, pointless. They could have just left that blank. The GPU covers it almost entirely. I mean, I suppose if you buy a smaller gpu, then perhaps you'll be able to see it. I don't get to enjoy that view with my standard sized 1080ti.
In conclusion, it's a budget board that feels like a 300.00 plus board. I don't even want to call it "budget" because I've had more expensive boards that weren't as impressive as this one. The bios settings are very nice and you can update your firmware directly from the bios screen with a jump drive.
All inputs worked perfectly. Sata hard drives, etc, are all good.
I definitely recommend it.
PS before using a 1080ti gpu, I was using a GTX 960 and even then, gaming and editing performance was great.
The best feature of this board is the Q-LED. It is quickly able to troubleshoot hardware problems that are normally very challenging to find.
An example is if using an old video card it will appear not to POST and the VGA light with be amber. The PCI Express one PCI_1 slot is actually set to PCI express 3.0 when set to auto. 3.0 is not backward compatible with 2.0 cards. It will have the VGA light as if your card does not work. The problem is that it "does not work", does not mean the card is broken. The easy fix is just to move card down to PCI_2 and that system should POST.
The Q-LED is a really great helping in troubleshoot by narrowing down the potential issues as hardware issues are challenging. It may seem minor, but there are many potential problems that can occur when building a new system as I thought the RAM of CPU could be faulty.
The system is partially compatible with Ubuntu 18.04, but not really. Not entirely sure why, but it would randomly freeze for no reason. It could be in use or not, but it would just freeze where nothing would work. The network card was detected as gigabit but the bandwidth utilization was a closer to 100mb speed.
Was forced to use Windows 10 and system is stable. The network card operating at detected speed and random system freezing has gone away.
Not sure if a big deal, but if you install Windows, it does auto inject the ASUS Grid requesting you to install the software. I installed then uninstalled due to not useful. Not a fan of general gamer advertising, if it were more focused on hardware then it might be useful. The random crashing could have been caused from ASUS Grid injecting into the Ubuntu platform trying to use Wine, but no proof of that. The locking up of the system was after I installed Wine on Ubuntu, so it could be possible, but haven’t gone back to troubleshoot. If ASUS was not injecting software into your computer from the BIOS that would be nice. If this is true having the ability to turn off ASUS grid would be great.
BIOS was not updated: I was not forced to update BIOS, but it was not updated upon receiving the item. I was able to update the BIOS with no issues. It may seem slow… because it is, just wait for it to do what it needs to do. It appears to be frozen with no progress, but it isn’t. It is best to walk away and check on it every so often. I used a 2000 series cpu, so no problems here.
RAM Profile was clocking my RAM at 2600 when it detect it as 3200 ram. Wasn't sure how to get what I paid for but accidentally went to easy mode and had it auto detect recommended configuration. It build a profile to allow my ram to run at 3200 with the different timing and voltage profile. Seems to be working fine now.
The LED isn’t overly bright, so I use it to tell if the computer is still on. I didn’t like the power button on my case because it is so bright, so the LED inside the case is just bright enough to see that it is on.
Overall still think this is a great board. I would prefer to save money by being on Linux, but having to use Windows is fine too, just cost more.
The only non BIOS or compatibility recommendation is to test components outside the case before installing. Due to some of my late errors it was more challenging to use a flashlight to check components.
