i installed an m.2 drive a samsung 850 evo and a seagate HDD all work fine on my other pc but in this board i have to mess around in the bios and enable csm or what ever it's called just to get it to see the drives. and don't even get my started on Asus intrusion mode. Fatal error constantly when enabled.
But they are minor points. The board its self is great, the bios is detailed and it looks gorgeous. Just the software that lets it down
I had no issues installing and using the board. It has a good amount of ports and even has a m.2 wifi slot in addition to the two m.2 slots for ssd's.
The board certainly looks the part but I was slightly disappointed to see the shroud over the chipset, next to the ssd m.2 slot is plastic. There is a heatsink on the chipset itself, but what you see above is just a piece of plastic, impossible to discern with the eye just looking at it. Regardless the chipset is cooled properly and certainly the VRM stays nice and cool with an overclocked i7-10700k.
I really can't fault the physical layout of the board apart from the small niggle mentioned above. However the bios is buggy. The bios that shipped with the board was the initial version 04** and it had several issues. For example it was impossible to get both my monitors working, running one of a dedicated GPU and one of the CPU. Once I updated to the new version 06** that got fixed.
I also have an issue with the adaptive voltage setting for the CPU, it does not seem to work properly and I am hoping it is just another bios issue. I can not get anything near stable. Inputting a voltage of 1.3v was all of a sudden 1.6v in Windows with temps hitting the 90's just loading Windows. I have always run adaptive voltage on every cpu since the i7 4790 days without issue, but now I am unable to get stable with voltage all over the place.
For now I am running a constant vcore and it work really well. Got 5.1ghz with avx offset of 1 at 1.395v.
The bios needs some work, but I can almost forgive them because it is just after release. I will have to play around some more with the adaptive voltage.
In general a good looking and fast performing motherboard with some bios bugs.
First, the box and motherboard were not sealed in any way, a bit of disappointment there because I wanted to be absolutely sure that the motherboard is actually new. However, the motherboard looks new and all the accessories came in sealed bags.
Then, it puts the memory at 2133 MHz by default (no overclocking). I have 2 x Corsair 3200 MHz and Intel i9 10900K so I'm expecting at least 2933 MHz from this motherboard, specially when it says up to 4800 MHz in the specs and I paid so much for it. Well, it turns out that turning on the overclocking causes a random crash now and then, regardless of heavy load or not. I tried 3200 MHz and 2933 MHz, the same issue. It turns out this is a known issue with this motherboard. I'm assuming no gamer would buy a motherboard with just 2133 MHZ memory frequency, so I don't recommend buying this motherboard. It's a waste of money.
I used the latest BIOS version, upgraded myself. I don't know if an updated BIOS in the future would solve this issue, I'm very pessimistic, but for now I'm staying with 2133 MHz for stability.
Building was fast and easy. only a slight issue with the size of the rear io fitting in my phantek p400 case. i had to leave some motherboard screws out. Also the board is thin so i had to shim the cpu cooler mount on my corsair H100 v2. I did this with some washers.
Im running an i5 9600k in mine and with the cooler its sitting at 30 degrees (fans on silent). on boost its about 50 so plenty of room for overclocking. I'll report back once ive done that. The CPU mount is tight so it was a little scary pulling that lever down. Its been a while since i last did one. But it located perfectly.
the AI suite software has advanced a lot since my old p8p67 pro. Also the Bios is really easy to use. I had windows up and running in less that 15 minutes using UEFI boot.
Fan control is awesome. also the RBG lighting looks pretty pimp.
The motherboard doesn't come in a static bag. I thought this was strange but apparently its normal for ROG boards. That said the board worked great so obviously isn't an issue
i've included some pictures. I haven't tidied the fan wires yet because they are too short so don't judge me lol
UPDATE: The CPU temp is stuck on 11 degrees. This is in both bios and AI suite. This makes tuning the fans difficult. I seem to remember Asus temps are always a bit wild but this is clearly a fault. I'm going to run a 2pin thermal sensor instead and hope its just a software issue.
now running 4.8ghz with 1.35 volts. realtemp is showing 70 degrees max temp.
1. The ASUS has better VRM cooling compared to both the MSI and Gigabyte. The MSI has a fan just as the ASUS but it is a high velocity fan which generates a lot of noise but does a poor job of cooling the VRM's compared to the ASUS VRM fan which does a good job of cooling and is silent, Gigabyte lacks a fan completely (MSI allows full control over the fan in the BIOS and ASUS does not).
2. All the fan headers on the ASUS board are PWM headers, the MSI's chassis header is DC 3 pin.
3. RGB/LED headers are on opposite sides of the board on the ASUS and there are two in total, the MSI has one and it is a 3 pin.
4. The ASUS has an illuminated ROG symbol on the NVMe heatsink which is a nice touch and not overpowering, the light is subtle and easy to control, the MSI has nothing of the sort.
5. The ASUS has both NVMe slots on the top side of the board and both are teamed up with individual heatsinks unlike MSI who have one NVMe port on the top side and one of the bottom side of the board which is a pain if something goes wrong and there is no heatsink for that bottom one due to space constraints.
6. ASUS has far superior fan controls within the BIOS and the software within the OS is very good, gives much better control compared to MSI Dragon Centre software.
7. ASUS can control the LED's on my Hyper-X Fury RAM and enable 'Smart' lighting which is set to change colour in a certain temperature range (0 degrees to 50 green light, 50 to 70 degrees yellow light and 70 to 100 red light). but the MSI cannot control the RAM LED's at all, even though it is compatible and stated in the list on MSI's website.
This is what totally killed the MSI for me. Both boards had an i7 10700 CPU fitted with the same Noctua NH-L9i chromax.black heatsink, Corsair SF750 PSU, 32GB Hyper-X Fury DDR4 RAM and Gigabyte 1660 Super OC GPU. I was testing the MSI with a 15 minute 4K movie rendering and the CPU temperature was through the roof, it hit 99 Degrees Celsius and I discovered that the MSI Dragon Centre software was causing that, as soon as I killed the software, the temperature dropped 14 degrees which is still unacceptable, running at 85 degrees while rendering a 4K movie of 15 minutes run time. All the same components, in the same case, with the same chassis fan on the ASUS board never climbed above 70 Degrees Celsius, which is a massive difference. The ambient temperature was 26 degrees for both tests and I was sold on the ASUS.
The one negative of the ASUS board is that it currently cannot overclock the RAM in dual channel mode without crashing, none of the XMP profiles work and no amount of manual tuning fixes the problem. This is a known issue and being spoken about on the ASUS forum, several BIOS revisions were released in the forum for users to test but none of the users had the issue resolved. So if you can wait or are not overly concerned about RAM overclocking, then this board is by far the best Mini-ITX choice.
Update 15th September: The batch of faulty boards can be identified with the revision code A13, which is located on the Serial Number sticker near the CPU socket. On the forums it has now been confirmed that a new revision board is being sent as replacement under RMA which has the revision number A14 and the dual XMP crashes are fixed.
Update 17th September: Received a replacement board from Amazon, same revision (A13), same fault. So Amazon need to send these boards back to ASUS and get the updated ones which are A14. Identifiable from the outside of the box as "MB14A0".
I installed windows then updated the bios. I hit some problem by doing this then got a cannot repair message and windows was unable to load. I thought it was beyond repair but I managed to get past this somehow but can't remember the details. So if it is running OK I suggest not updating the bios if you have no problems already and are unsure of any hurdles you may hit.
If you have an aio cooler you may get an error for having no cpu fan and you will be stuck on the bios screen. You should go into bios and select DISABLE CPU FAN if you choose not to use the cpu fan header. But make sure your fans are blowing and controllable. I'm just waiting for a fan splitter then I will connect to the cpu header.
Edit
Note that the large USB lead from your case is plugged in to the bottom on this motherboard. This will leave the cable on top of the psu shroud. It is more tidy to have this USB socket on the right of the board. I will be having a vertical gpu to hide this.
This has been my worst PC purchase to Date.
Update: although I am outside the returns window, Amazon have agreed to sending me a replacement first and refund second if the replacement is plagued with the same issues. I have separately purchased a set of RAM as I've read that purchasing RAM separately isn't suggested as it's not guaranteed to be compatible with the memory optimization as the RAM will have different components even if it's the same style, which results in the scenario described above.
the thing i really like about this is that there are two M2 slots, one under a heat sync and one near the middle of the board. having the option to have 2 along with 6 SATA ports is really handy for lots of storage.
one of the reasons i always stick with asus is that i love the software, including the bios software, its really easy to navigate and tweak every aspect if you want to. there is an EZ mode if you are not confident in the bios then an advanced move for changing every voltage and timing ever!
overall this is a great looking board with a lot of functionality for the price. I always like to get the best for price and i feel like ive done this with this board.
The motherboard came with all the necessary pieces and some nice extras which included a wrist strap (ROG) a fan and mount to provide extra cooling which was all nice. Instructions were easy to read and my computer booted straight away. Would highly recommend this board if you plan on using a higher end CPU to overclock as there is a good amount of cooling and support for cooling.
After many hours Gaming with overclocked settings (Intel CPU i7 9000K from 3.6 MHz to 5.2 MHz), the system remains stable all the time. It is almost two months since I purchased this product and I haven't noticed any stability issues even with high overclock settings.
I would recommend it to anyone, but if you do not require the WiFi feature, there are cheaper models that support overclocking too.
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, stand design isn't very helpful.
I wanted my next motherboard to have a pre-mounted IO shield which at the current time your paying a premium for.
My old motherboard was Asus one and so went with the same manufacturer in hopes doing so I wouldn't have issues with windows and have to re-install it (which never happened, only issue it failed to boot the first time and on the second boot did some eternal checks and runs perfectly)
The most important reason of all was for the RGB, I use Razer synapse with a ASUS aura connect module to control all my RGB so everything is in sync (nothing is as satisfying when all your RGB is in sync)
With my new motherboard and cpu I've been able to over clock it to 5Ghz and is stable, reaching temps of around 70 degrees.
I have had no issues so far and I'm glad I spent the extra money on the motherboard.
I have 8 SATA drives and this board can only accommodate 6 so bear that in mind, the saving grace are the M.2 connections, which means you will have to buy M.2 SSDs' to take advantage of the ports.
The Aura is easy to configure with the installed software on disc.
This board can easily overclock your processor (provided you have an overclockable CPU) and appropriate cooler and RAM.
Quality board with a lot to offer.
