Rear I/O panel built in (no snap in face plate like older models) Everything works as intended so far. Fit great in my fractal case was easy to install, booted right up!

It's cheap, it has 2 M.2 slots, and 4 PCIe slots.

Good motherboard

Very nice motherboard

Lots of features for the price and works pretty well. Havent encountered any issues with it so far.

Numerous m.2 slots (3) Pcie Gen5 slot Pcie Gen5 m.2 slot (1) 2.5 gigabit lan

Beautiful, diy friendly

Fast wifi Very pretty Lots of connectors

- Inexpensive - m.2 slot was a nice surprise

Easy to set up. Looks great in a white case even though its kinda silver. Flashing the bios was easy.

BIOS flashback, 3 M.2 SSD slots, boots up fast, build quality

-Wifi -Exists

A good looking board, great performance, power to spare, plenty of rear panel connections. Populated all four NVMe slots and the GPU running at X16. Flashed bios to recently released 3.2 and set up was easy and straightforward. A little coaxing necessary to get my Corsair titanium running at 6600 because I transferred it from an intel board and so it has an XMP profile not EXPO. The only other finicky task was hooking up the front panel connectors but this is generally the case unless you have an Asus motherboard. Installed board into Meshify2 case which can be tricky with an EATX motherboard. Happily the board only partially obstructs the cable pass through grommets leaving enough room even for the 24v cable which is the thickest.

Excellent design, feel of the whole board. Feels super premium, and works like a charm!

1) Four M.2 NVMe running at gen4.0 under a RAID 10 configuration gives both speed and reliability. 2) Support for DDR5 ECC-UDIMMs provides for memory stability for longer calculations. 3) One PCIe5.0x16 provides the needed GPU slot. 4) All M.2 type 2280 sockets have motherboard integrated heat sinks. 5) M.2 gen5x4's heartsink does not interfere with LF3 AIO head. 6) Supports both WiFi and LAN for our mesh network. 7) 3 "CPU" and 3 Fan can provide the current for cooling by 9 140mm PWM Fans, VRM Fan and water pump. 8) Can support additional water pump for GPU. 9) USB-C 4.0 10) considerable capacitance to minimize AC noise. 11) Copper PCB layers spread heat and insolate against stray signals. 12) Thermal ports for additional heat measurements. 13) Plenty of USB ports.


-IO includes a plethora of USB 3.0 and one USB-C. -Includes Wi-Fi. -3 M.2 SSD slots, two of which have heatsinks. -Status Lights -Integrated I/O shielding, no cut fingers here.

This MB is a beast! Has tons of USB ports, even a Type C. Posted with a string cpu, Ryzen 9 9900x and up out the X3Ds you cant go wrong here

Somehow I bent the pins under the CPU of the 1st MB, don't know how I did that, after getting it back from from ASUS repair center, which it really didn't need because all they did is test startup 50 times & when I got it back the issue was resolved - so just a big waste of time I can't blame on any body else. So that's off my chest, the 2nd Z890-A is working perfectly. No complaints at all. It has plenty of USB's. Room for 2 HDD's, 4 2.5" SSD's & 5 M.2 SSD's. You don't need to be a gamer to get this MB, it will handle whatever you throw at it. I still haven't played with the Audio capabilities it has, or finished moving all my files over to the new PC. It's been a busy Summer. One hack I accidently discovered: I went with an Intel 265KF (no internal graphics), but was planning on getting a GPU any way. Do that and you can save a few bucks on the CPU.

Easy to install compatible with my case
