Second attempt at building with this board seems to be working as intended. The OC on my processor is pretty mediocre relative to the voltage I'm sending it (Prime 95-stable 5.0GHz all core @1.35 Vcore), but I probably just lost the silicon lottery. Not an expert OCer by any means, so maybe other operator error, as well.
The savior of this entire transaction was Amazon's exchange policy. I requested a new board on a Sunday, and it arrived to me two days later without me even having to send the defective board back first. This obviously saved a ton of time relative to an RMA, and made the process of replacing the first board with the second one a lot simpler. I didn't have to worry about removing cables and other accessories that came with the board from my build and repackaging them to send back, which would have made an already obnoxious process much worse.
Two stars off for the defective original board. I’ve been a loyal customer of Asus motherboards for all of my past builds, but will probably assess other options next time. Needless to say, it’s frustrating spending $400 for a board that doesn’t work after hours of putting everything together.
Five stars for amazon's exchange policy. I don't think I will ever order any major PC components from another retailer in the future.
Pros:
Good look
INSANE amount of options and controls in the bios (Seriously, you can spend hours in the bios and still be looking up what some things do)
Good power delivery without being loud
Good layout (very important since some manufacturers will put sata or usb or other connectors in weird places)
Cons: (more like nitpicks)
The amount of crap you have to take off the motherboard to install the m.2 drives is honestly a little unsettling. First remove GPU (if installed) then the chipset cooler cover has to come off, THEN the m.2 slot covers come off.
The onboard power/ reset buttons light up bright white and cannot be turned off. SUPER ANNOYING
For $400, a back plate would have been appreciated (Like the Formula)
i paired this with a 10900k, evga 2080ti ultra ftw3 hybrid
was stuck on a boot loop initially and was not posting..
i was only able to get it to post when unplugging my mouse, keyboard, network adapter etc.. at first.. with a 1200w EVGA P2 PSU.. and unplugging all other sata drives/devices
changed to a Corsair RM750x to test if it would work.. and it did except I couldn't use the thunderbolt expansion that came with this card.. so i changed to a 1000w rmx psu.. still unable to use the thunderbolt expansion but can run my other drives..
but now, in addition to the issues mentioned, each boot.. something would power off or not be detected.
i was probably unlucky though.
At this time, I gave it to a local tech shop and they, too, could not figure out WTF was wrong with the setup.
Returned the second board, as well as the CPU, Memory (which is on the QVL), and the M2 (which is also on the QVL). Got entirely different CPU, same memory, same M2.
Installed everything a 3rd time. GUESS WHAT? A2 Error.
I am beyond frustrated at this point, and this will be the last PC I ever build (after 20+ years of building them, I've had enough). Just got off the phone with another wonderful Indian gentleman who informed me there are no American tech support agents, because I couldn't understand WTF he was saying 9 times out of 10 -- just what you want to hear when you spend OVER SEVEN HUNDRED EFFIN DOLLARS ON A EFFIN MOTHERBOARD.
This is the last ASUS product I ever buy. I can't wait til Corsair starts making high end motherboards and wipes the floor with these losers. Horrible product, horrible experience, NEVER BUY ASUS.
I just replaced an Asus Z97-A legacy with this board in a new build. I'd buy Asus for Quality and this is great board, but for the price - it really needs more.
They've placed the 20 PIN USB 3.0 port at the front of the board, and those using a full size card will often block access to that port. While Asus anticipated this issue and made the connecter horizontal instead of vertical, the bulky adapter sometimes is cumbersome to get in, thus resorting to purchasing the newer front panel connector this board supports, but it should have been included.
Removing 10 screws just to mount a single M2 module is a bit ridiculous. Once you get the board placed and mounted in the case, if you mount a top fan, the ARgb Headers and CPU fan connectors are VERY CUMBERSOME to get to.
Flex and other buttons on motherboard are useless for most and would much prefer a switch option or a front panel connector for such. While I imagine this is an enthusiast board - I still believe price vs features is unbalanced.
One thing to note is to update the BIOS once you have everything set up.
The back plate is lighted, which makes things very convenient if you ever fiddle around back there in the dark. Both the QLED and Display are easy to read and show error codes/actual problem (i.e., HDD error, rather than 'just' a two digit code). The rest of the RGB features on the board are great, too. Hands down one of the best looking motherboards on the market.
If you're OC'ing with this board, you're going to want to do everything manually. If you set things to auto/adaptive and let XMP do its thing, you're going to see voltages at 1.54 and higher. Would not recommend letting it make its own decisions, it's like a 10yr old in a LEGO store...gonna want a bit of everything. However, doing things manually is a breeze. I'm very fond of this BIOS. In light of that, I 'did' have stable overclocks letting the board do its thing. It ran really hot (over 100C, even with a 360mm AIO), but it was stable. Dropping voltage to 1.46 resulted in spikes no higher than 90C, average in the low 80s. I'll continue to work with it, but that's more a discussion for the CPU (I've also reviewed the i7-10700K if you care).
The board layout is fantastic with one exception. All headers/plugins are on the border (I came from a board in which that was not the case), all labeled and easy to read, a TON of fan slots, with the one exception...if you're liquid cooled and you have an AIO that REQUIRES you to plug into the AIO slot, it 'is' at the very bottom of the board, and the three separate AIOs I've owned were not long enough to reach. If you can plug into a CPU slot, you're fine. There are several to choose from within reach. Just keep it in mind if your cooler isn't capable of that.
The board comes with a DIMM2 extension, giving you the possibility of sticking your PCIe drives in eternal slots rather than tucked under heat shielding. It also comes with the latest and greatest Thunderbolt hookup, if that's something that tickles your fancy. I'm yet to try the WiFi antenna as I prefer wired, but I've heard it's nothing to write home about. It works.
If you have the money to drop on it, do it. You won't be disappointed in the least bit. There isn't an Intel board I'd recommend more.
Unfortunately there was bent pins, and the live dash LED didn't work. It disappointed me. I rated it 3 stars because of my first initial problems but I do absolutely love this motherboard to death. It's one of my favorite motherboards of all time and even though I'm not using custom water cooling it looks fantastic! It has 5.1 bluetooth that I use to connect my Airpods to while I chat in discord overall It's an amazing motherboard! I hope you don't get a bad one like me.
Also, if you'd like PC or gaming advice come check out my Amazon page! amazon.com/shop/atarabyte if you like my page it'll notify you when I go live or show my scheduled live streams! I used to work at Gamestop for 5 years and I just love to help people out, answer questions and give advice and knowledge on tech! And I really enjoy when people come hangout in chat!
*note* If you're writing one star reviews for the "Scratched" details on the front of the board, slow down. There is a protective plastic film on the panels on this board that may show scratches, this is common with electronics like these. Just peel off the plastic once you're comfortable with your installation and you'll be all set.
Just feedback for those considering Asus z490. I just have experience with the Apex and Hero Z490. I also have the z390 versions of both boards and was satisfied with those.
Anyway I also got a MSI Unify to try since the Z490 Hero was a disappointment to get memory working stable at anything over 4000-4133. The Unify is much better for training and getting memory either 4x8 or 2x16gb clocks higher than even on the Apex when using 2x16.
I preferred the aesthetics of the Hero but went with the Unify since it also sets much lower CPU voltages than Asus does if leaving things on default.
I used varies stick of memory from 3600/16, 4000/c15, 4500/c18 to 4800/c18 GSkill and Team b die kits for tesing and also 2 10850k and 1 10700k for testing so i know it is not down to one item like a CPU or memory being the issue.
Not that the Hero only running 4000 on 4x8 or 4133 on 2x16 is that big of an issue just compared to the Unify being able to clock 4400-4600 with the same CPU and memory it shows a large difference and hopefully Asus can fix it but I am doubtful if this far after release they still haven't.
The z490 Apex also is a disappointment compared to to the Unify when comparing 2x16 memory training and OCing. The Unify looks like it will do what the Apex does and much easier and faster for someone new to memory OCing.
I first ordered this king Asus Z490 motherboards but after delivery noticed that there was no ability to utilize on-board integrated graphics from the CPU (which I desire to use). So back it went. I have to say that the board is just amazing based on my hands-on-only. It feels like it is filled with copper or lead!
I wish I could have used this board with the 10gbps NIC and Thunderbolt interface, but that will have to wait. I will note that a competitor to this Asus board (there are 3 in the arena) does plumb/inject the display port output to the Thunderport port - I wish Asus had an option for this on this Extreme board.
I had to run out to the local blue and yellow store and buy an Asus Strix to allow me to continue with my build. The Strix seems to be one of the best mid-level boards for more users with more needs (better I/O options, overclocking, etc.). I write software and needs lots of striped M.2 performance and some mild but stable OC.
If you need/want use integrated graphics (i.e. 10900K) and not discrete video cards, because you want a semi-workstation-level machine for productivity, then the Asus Strix is probably the best all around board to get. No board, from any vendor seems to provide a HDMI/DP video ports, 10gbps NIC port AND Thunderbolt port on the rear I/O panel - this would be great for power users that are not using discrete video cards. Maybe this will appear with Z590+ boards - I hope so.
Cmos, if the problem persists use a different bios rev. Sometimes a driver can cause this as well. I really have no major complaints with this board and I highly recommend it for high end builds. Oh, one last thing for Asus...I wish that the error code display could change colors. But again, a very minor thing.
Got a corsair i115 and it cools well; keeps below 40 and mostly runs at 32C even during extreme gaming.
BUT - Water Cooling is what this board was designed to do so I suppose you are paying a little extra for this feature.
If you want to air cool or use a contained water pump it works,
Love the OLED screen and RGBs.
This does not have the build quality you should expect from a $500 MB. Sure the LED is a nice touch but I don't think I even looked at it once after installing it.
The only pro this has is the ASUS bios, so many options to overclock that it is extremely overkill for 95% of users.
One thing I should say though is that it does not fit the NZXT H710i Case unfortunately,I thought it would but I had to buy a new case I really like my NZXT case but the MB was too big :(
Pros: Si vemos las características de la placa no le falta de nada. La iluminación aura está muy chula, el software de Asus te permite modificar la CPU, la RAM y el hardware. En general va muy bien toda la placa base (*)
Contras: De mano para ser una placa base Asus de gama Media-Alta debería de venir con chapa reforzada, con más de una conexión de sonda temperatura y la conexión de audio digital no está optimizada
He tenido que devolver 2 placas debido a que no les funcionaba el adaptador wifi (Concretamente no aparecía ni en administrador de dispositivos (Ni ocultos) ni adaptadores de red, desde la BIOS aparece como habilitado pero ni las compilaciones 1909,1903,1803,1809, ni instalando los controladores viejos del DVD ni los nuevos desde la web de Asus o desde el software de Armoury Crate (No he podido acceder nunca al adaptador wifi de ninguna de las maneras)
** Me he puesto en contacto con el soporte técnico de Asus y no me han dado solución (Que devuelva la placa)
***Otro detalle es que aún no tengan el manual en Español, y desde la web de Asus tampoco y los que hay en ingles no especifican todas las características de la placa base
INFORMACIÓN UTÍL WIFI
He instalado Windows 10 Pro Compilación 1809 (Marzo 2019) sin internet, y Windows me ha detectado el adaptador wifi (Intel R Wi-Fi 6 AX200 160MHz), cosa que con las versiones más nuevas nunca lo hizo.
A partir de ahí actualice mediante Windows Update y el software de Armoury Crate (Asus) pero no instalo la compilación 1903 o 1909 que me da problemas de que no existe el adaptador wifi.
Está avisado el soporte técnico de Asus que próximamente lo solucionaran (Hay personas que sí les funciona), pero esto es para los que tiene el problema del adaptador o pantallazos azules debido a esto
*** Vuelve a desaparecer el adaptador wifi, es un problema de hardware no del S.O ni del software.
Bastantes personas han reportado que no les funciona, mismo problema, una lástima he tenido que devolverla
Al principio compre la versión F, pero me llego defectuosa, al pedir el cambio a Amazon me dieron la opción de elegir la versión E por 20 euros mas. La diferencia de la E a la F, es que la versión E tiene un puerto RJ45 mas y uno de ellos es mas rápido 2,5G y 1G, aparte de tener Wifi AX, bluetooth y también una zona mas RGB cerca del chipset que la F no tiene. Aunque para mi lo mas interesante es el display de 2 dígitos, en los que puedes ver información de errores de la placa, y una vez que está arrancado el sistema operativo, te indica la temperatura de la CPU. Este display no lo trae la versión F. Muy recomendable por las actualizaciones continuas de Asus y por su fiabilidad. Aunque esto último el tiempo lo dirá.
Asus x570 Strix Gaming E
Placa base, gama media/alta, tiene unas buenas especificaciones y es una opción muy recomendada para los ryzen 3700x y 3800x.
Uno de los puntos fuertes de esta placa, es el OC, dado que Asus tiene una BIOS muy pulida.
Montado un Ryzen 3700x, lo tengo 24/365 a 4.3Mhz con un voltaje de 1.2975 y 32gb de DDR4 a 3600Mhz con 14-15-15-14-32-48, son de Gskill y con B-Die.
La verdad que se agradece tener una BIOS así de pulida y que todo vaya bien y rápido en cuanto al OC.
En cuanto especificaciones, la mas destacada puede ser la conexión WIFI 6, nos dará unas tasas de trasferencia muy altas, el único problema es tener fibra superior a 1Gbps y tener un router con WIFI 6, por lo que ahora mismo poca utilidad le podremos sacar.
En cuanto la calidad y los acabados, nada que objetar, es de muy buena calidad, tampoco hay que esperar menos y mas con el precio que tienen actualmente las placas X570.
En cuanto conectividad, tiene más que suficiente para cualquier usuario normal.
En resumen, placa con buenas características y con una BIOS muy buena para realizar OC y como siempre, creo que el precio es algo alto en la plataforma X570.
La unica pega aunque no es para tanto son las bios de Asus que arreglan algo y estropean otra cosa pero por lo normal va de lujo.
Me aterveria a recomendarla y ahorrarte lo que vale la Hero VIII
