Top of the line, and is great for how much it costs with the many features this motherboard has, works perfect, pretty heavy but can installed easily and simple. Great black look with durable material and has very fast ddr5 memory support!

I really enjoyed building my PC around this motherboard. It looks beautiful in black and with the rgb light details it brings. It feels sturdy, made to last, good materials. Enough ports to connect everything, high quality dissipators for your storage drives. First thing I did was to update the bios using flashback feature and it was pretty easy. Just plugged the flash drive on the special usb port on the back panel, pressed the button and waited around 3 minutes. Everything went well and it booted correctly. This motherboard is ATX size, so make sure you have the right case to fit it.

I have used PC parts from most of the major manufactures. Some I have found to have equal build quality, but lacking in some other aspect. Normally horrible customer support or discontinuing product and not providing updated bios or drivers after that point. I have another Asus motherboard that runs my containerized applications. It's an ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero X570. Yes Asus makes workstation motherboards, but this was repurposed when I bout this new ASUS ROG Strix X870E-E Gaming WiFi board. I've been using it for about four months now and have had no issues*. No hardware comparability issues, and the default bios fan curves work great for me for a good balance of cooling and a low db noise level. The one complaint I have with every manufacture is their custom software. It would be a much better world if they all worked together to have a single dashboard for monitoring your system and keeping your drivers up to date. It would be even better if that project were fully open sourced. By that I mean the dashboard, not the drivers as many of those come from specific chip-set manufactures. That said the new Armoury-Crate dashboard application is far better than the one one that was originally available when I bought my older ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero X570. It's this type of continual improvement and listening to the community that in my opinion pushes Asus in front of the competition. While I do buy from Asus' ROG gaming line, I do so because I need the performance their products in this line deliver. I primarily work in Blender3D and Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve Studio. With this new ASUS ROG Strix X870E-E Gaming WiFi board works great for that in Windows, I often do a god bit of my work in Linux. That is what the asterisk above comes in. This is not a negative on Asus, but rather the chip-set manufactures in that there are many things that do not work in Linux at this moment. For the most part Asus can only influence the manufactures to work with the Linux community, and at the same time they cannot only use parts that are Linux compatible because that would mean not using the newest and or best components available. As for Asus' support, it's good. Everything could always be improved, but in the few interactions I've I did not get someone asking me for information that I had already provided in my original request. This is an issue I've had with many other companies and I hope Asus continues with good support and taking feedback from the community and content providers like Linuxx Tech Tips, GamerNexus, Roman (der8auer) Hartung. If you are looking for a new motherboard, go to Asus' website and use their comparison tools. This may not be the right board for you, but they certainly have one that is. Don't hesitate to contact their support to ask question. The biggest reason people complain about a company instead of a specific product is they did not do enough research and they did not reach out to the manufacture for advice. If that manufacture doesn't want to help you then move on. So far Asus has been helpful, even when they have had to tell me that my question, usually Linux related, isn't something they can answer and that I'm better getting an accurate answer from that community.

I have had nothing but issues with certain features on this motherboard since I got it, Asus Support pretty much gave me 2 possible solutions, I tried both while in chat support with them, and after they both failed to fix the issues, their answer was "RMA it" - like I can afford to have down time on my only PC lol Things that are great about this board: ECLK OCing on the CPU works well, I have a 7800X3D in it currently and I can push an extra ~200MHz over the normal 5025MHz max boost a 7800X3D has, without issues, and it's stable. The software suite - some hate Asus Armory Crate, and I used to be one of those people on older generations of their software, but it's better now in my opinion. RGB control is pretty good, the different settings you can use are quite nice, I in particular like Starry Night with the background set to off/black, and the colors set to Random, looks pretty awesome. Fan control is also very good, you can set each fan header to it's own curve, and control that curve with multiple temperatures at once (so if the CPU or GPU gets hot, you can have the fans ramp up based off both of those at the same time, so whether you're gaming or doing something CPU intensive, the fans will ramp up). The Q-Release slots are nice, no more having to try & get that stupid GPU-slot lock to pop off so you can get your GPU out. Before we get in to the bad, I should note I use this system for a combination of rendering (which is why the 9950X3D is an incoming upgrade) and gaming. What were the issues I am having you ask? Well, apparently it's all related, at least partially, to RAM settings/clocks, BUT the primary issue is that the 2nd & 3rd M.2 slot are completely messed up unless I run the system with NO XMP/DOCP/EXPO settings, and even then if I manually tune the RAM, it STILL happens randomly. This has happened with two different RAM kits of different sizes, I had a 2x16GB CL30 6000MHz kit, and I'm not running a 2x48GB kit that I have set to CL30 at 6000MHz as well. Sometimes the 2nd & 3rd M.2 slots will just not work at all, sometimes they'll run at PCIe 1.0 x4 (which in case you didn't know, is BASICALLY physical HDD speeds, less than 500MB/s maximum speed). If I enable the EXPLICIT setting in the BIOS to ENABLE both of those M.2 slots & set the GPU slot to x8 speed ... it disables both slots & still sets the GPU slot to x8 speed. If I enable the setting to DISABLE the slots and set the GPU slot to x16, it will still show them as being accessible half the time. Any time I set the RAM speed to what it should be (6000MHz) those 2 M.2 slots will randomly appear or disappear from one power up to the next - sometimes from one REBOOT to the next. This has happened across multiple BIOS updates, including 2 BIOSes that Asus said would "fix the issue" later on. I went back to Asus because I wanted to give them another chance after the whole debacle they've had with poor customer service etc in past years - now I'm regretting ever making that decision. I will be purchasing a different motherboard (liikely an Asrock Taichi) at some point in combination with a 9950X3D, at which point I'll be RMAing this motherboard with Asus, and reselling the replacement as I want nothing to do with it. I highly recommend NOT purchasing this motherboard, if you search Asus Support forums, I am not the only one that has experienced these issues, there's dozens of other users on there that have experienced the same things, and who knows how many others that just "haven't noticed" because they're not trying to use all 5 M.2 slots.

Bought this board because all of its extra PCIe lane (I have 3 NVME drives and 3 SATA drives), and this model allows multiple slots to run at full speed. * Zen 5 CPU (9000) works right out of the box without any BIOS update. * G.SKILL Trident 6000Mhz 32x2 kit has EXPO enabled without any issue * plenty of USB ports that I don't think I'll run out again The most helpful feature is the BIOS POST code display - when system first boot up or right after I enabled EXPO, nothing come up on the monitors, but I wasn't panicking because the code shows it's just doing memory training

Good board, though it has two major issues. Fragile nvme connectors, and not linux friendly (any flavour). The easy connect system for the nvme is very fragile. A little spring went flying out of one of them. My rog crosshair x670e had a much simpler, reliable system. Asus got too clever and introduced new points of failure. Warning. This board is not linux friendly, unlike its predecessor. The wifi/bluetooth card they ship it with is well over a year old and has no driver in any kernel, and none in development. The manufacturer isn't doing anything and an independent effort has been abandoned. As this is not available in any kernel, it will not work in any linux flavour. This is not likely to change. Asus should use their buying power to force the lazy manufacturer. This is a popular board series for home workstations on Linux, not just gamers. Almost no one uses windows for coding or as a workstation. Have linux, want wifi or bluetooth? Buy usb dongle. Or, if you want to really take stuff apart, under the rear panel output area, remove heatsinks, and you will find a tiny wifi card that is in a socket, not soldered. But you still have to buy the new card. Amazon have some. Thats what i did. Annoying after spending so much on a board. Also, unlike it predessor, there is no manual, just a quick start guide which is for more than one board. A manual has detail that is very relevant to the type of user who will buy this board. For example, now much current a fan or pump header can handle. All this was in the x670e hero manual. If asus are cost cutting on the manual, it stands to reason they are also doing so in board design. I think this will be my last asus board, they are going in the wrong direction.
