## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Man I love ASUS
*by J***E on 22 February 2023*

Asus are just the best brand in the computing industry.Great bios, great design, great features.Also has a Q-code screen incase something goes wrong (very helpful alongside the manual of Q-codes).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Motherboard
*by R***S on 3 August 2020*

The main reason for this purchase was for the PCIe Gen 4 supports but after receiving this motherboard I was surprised at how good it actually looked and how simple and clear the instructions were to install this into my new case.This is only my second ever pc build and everything went so smooth! Running a Ryzen 3900x with the stock fan - 16GB of RAM - RTX 2080 and a pcie gen 4 nvme SSD all inside an NZXT H510 elite.The bios is simple and very user friendly especially for newer builders like myself.If you were on the fence about purchasing this product I would definitely suggest you do it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice feature-set, decent price.
*by W***S on 21 May 2021*

A visually appealing and feature rich board. I opted for the Wifi variant as 1) it was cheaper than the non-Wifi version at the time and 2) I use an Xbox controller a lot and like to have it Bluetooth paired. This meant no dongle was needed.Nice RGB features which are compatible with many products, including Corsair's iCUE.
