TOP FAVORABLE REVIEW
Quality Product; Moderate Setup Difficulty

The motherboard is quality and operates well.
The BIOS features are many and allows for various setting changes.
BIOS is easy to understand and allows for intuitive tuning of fans, DOCP, power, etc.
The organization/layout of the motherboard is good. I had no difficult installing items on the motherboard.
The WiFi fin is incredibly power, and aesthetically stylish.
ASUS Armory Crate is a great app and allows for easy download of all necessary driver updates.
The price is great in relation to the quality of the product and design of BIOS.

The motherboard is not compatible with Windows 10's OEM non-updated version. The MOBO will shut down the system (BSOD) with multiple varying errors. It requires Microsoft's official 20H2 update in order to stop. I was unable to download the package because the motherboard kept crashing. After intensive troubleshooting, I purchased Windows 11 -- smoothest install ever.
Although the MOBO offers wifi, I was required to hardwire internet until all updates were complete.

I would recommend this to those who wish to have a budget friendly motherboard that allows for hardcore gaming or statistical analysis.
