Bought this MB with a Raptor Lake i5 to replace my old Asus Zxx MB and Kaby Lake i7 that were not capable of upgrading to Windows 11. Reused my old CM PS, CM Heatsink, Nvidia card and even my old 16GB of PC4 RAM. Booted-up and it automatically booted Windows 10 from my old SSD. I was then able to "Upgrade" to Windows 11 (rather than having to buy a new copy) and it has worked perfectly. When I first started doing builds 30 years ago, if you changed the CPU, MB or HD, you had to start all over. Not this time. Don't know why?

Easy to install booted up immediately with easy to follow bios settings. Board is basic but good power delivery

- Has everything we need in terms of slots and connectivity. - WiFi works great, very good range and speed.

- Lots of USB ports - Lots of M.2 slots - Stunning Looks - Solid build - Fair price considering cost of everything has gone up

Lots of options. Got a free MSI AIO with it. Looks greats and works great do far. Would by again.

Reasonably priced. Arrived on time. Paper manual so it was simple figuring out the connections. Booted once to BIOS and then Windows on the second boot.

The goods I have purchased form Canadian Newegg over the years, never, Never disspoited me. Allways all came on time and NEVER anything was " box open " Very relable place to get the componets from.

Easy install. Clean install. Bios was easy and straightforward. The BIOS alerted the user if the ROM was incorrectly installed. the BIOS had a Secure Format program, allowing the installer to format the SSD drive to reuse as a boot drive. The installation disk had all the necessary drivers and once the WiFi drivers were installed. WiFi access was initiated and all drivers were scanned for updates. A liquid cooler was used for the CPU and wiring was very simple. We kept DDR4 RAM as we didn't need to upgrade to DDR 5. It also came with PCI-e 5 4x`6pin slot for the PCI-e 4.0 video card.


It hasn't exploded so far and works with my linux installation, and that's good enough for me.

Great price and quick shipping! ASUS is definitely one of my favorite manufacturers now!

I was able to boot with a i7 14700 out of the box which surprised me. I was able to update the BIOS with an "unsupported CPU" out of the box. Board manufacturing date of 2023-04 so BIOS wasn't even close for 14th gen CPU support.

Simple setup, worked and updated itself on first power up zero issues thus far. Massive heat sinks everywhere running benchmarks so far everything has been optimal. Nothing over 70c at 100% on processor,board, or video card. Wish I had known before hand they had heat sinks installed on the M.2 sockets for M1 M3 and M4. Wouldnt have had to buy memory with heat sinks. This is more positive than negative hence the pros column.


-Asrock has become very reliable -Can easily undervolt and overclock my i7-13700k -Several m.2 slots gen 4 -I/O is filled with ports, supports front USB-C -Built-in WiFi -It works

Lots of oc options, easy install, great BIOS with tons of options and easy navigation

Lots of features like thunderbolt and wifi 7 Paired with my Intel 285k and 8000mhz ram using Intel 200k update beats x3d amd Cpus Lots of space for nvmes

Budget friendly, works great, has some rgb it looks like

5 Gb ethernet port. Large number of high bandwidth port options. Overbuilt VRM section. Very good but not not excellent build quality. Amazing options for a board near the bottom of MSI's product family.

Compact, easy access, fast Ethernet, plenty of USBs, easy to navigate bios
