The features I was looking for. Easy BIOS setup and firmware installation. Nice layout of most port and components. HDMI and Display Ports COM Port M2 retainers

I was so impressed by how easy it was to assemble this and also the price was very affordable. Great working motherboard processor combination super fast. I put a 50 series RTX card on it. Its a nice new DDR five and 1000 W power supply. The machine works killer Very impressed.


ALERT! It's 2025 already, and this motherboard will not recognize a GPT-partitioned device as bootable! Once I figured out why I didn't seem to have any bootable drives, I formatted and partitioned my M2 SSD with a MS-DOS partition table, and it was good to go. I bought a pair of 24 GB G.Skill Trident DDR5 DIMMs that are listed on the ASROCK QVL. The CPU is an Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF. I learned that my nice legacy heatsink was incompatible with the heatsink footprint (the 4 holes) on a LGA 1851, so I bought a Noctua NH-D9L and it works great. CPU temp with air cooling is 32-35C. I;ve been a pretty reliable Asus MB user over the years, but this ASROCK unit is getting the job done for me and I have zero regrets for this decision.

-beautiful board -plenty of high speed connections (TB5, TB4, 10G LAN, etc)

I bought this motherboard after an unsuccessful build with a faulty msi motherboard. It worked straight out of the box, had no issues whatsoever, and perfectly seats my i5-9400F Edit: A year later and I still love it, it's a great bang-to-buck motherboard

easy to install solid build

z790 for under $300 looks cool VRM heatsink is hefty

It was exactly as described. Everything worked. Shipping was with GOFO, but was over a week faster than estimated. While it is an older mainboard, based on BIOS revision, it was a somewhat recently assembled board.

The motherboard is a pro in itself!!! Absolute perfection in a motherboard as I expected from ASUS!!!

Very easy to install Instructions clean and understandable

Best motherboard for the new intel ultra CPU. Easy to set up and clear instructions to connect different hardware.

DDR4 Compatibility Nice M.2 heatsink Low-key aesthetics, nice I/O shield Digital manual A great mix of I/O Fast built-in WiFi

2nd of this type of board, first was damaged. All parts fit perfectly Easy drop in fit

Wifi Built in

Nice features Very good looking

Love all the stealth looking heat sink guards. Frozen cover for ssd m.2 nice.

This ASUS motherboard is a good quality replacement for Intel 8th gen cpu. It works fine with AMD or Nvidia video cards. Sound is HD only from HDMI video port on a monitor with speakers. External speakers may work with sound card on PCI-e 1x slot. This may be a problem for a gamer working with an external soundbar.

Has all the features you really need to build a good budget rig with out breaking the bank. I'm running the 6th gen i3 until I can upgrade later but so far no problems at all, very stable and fast.

Modern architecture in a low power form factor Can run off a 20 pin ATX power cord BIOS has no restrictions (power limit increase to ~15W, boot on power provided, and CPU undervolting) Passive cooling
