Good board so far
Pros: Looks good Sufficient IOs and features Comes with M2 heatsink
Overall Review: I bought it with a cpu bundle, didn’t do too much research before that. So far I only used one pcie x16, one m2 ssd and one m2 wifi. I would probally be fine with a micro atx version. No problem to light it up (the first boot failed due to loose connection at PSU). If the monitor is not turned on during power up, the monitor light on the board will be kept on after POST but that doesn’t affect anything. I tried my best to make wiring look neat, hiding the aio pump power wires under those heatsinks. Perhaps the board can think more of how to help hiding wires. If there’s anything can be done better, I would say: 1. A 90 degree convertor or extension cable for the 24 pin socket to make wiring neater. 2. Extra argb sockets or Y shape rgb extension cable 3. The AI app from asus can monitor the graphic card such as temperature and fan speed. Not critical but can be interesting. Overall I like this board.
Ok cooler
Pros: Cheap Fans are quiet No water drip noise yet
Cons: Pipes are too short The pipes comes out of the pump in awkward direction
Overall Review: Ok to use
Good price with 10 years warranty
Pros: Long warranty
Cons: The cables are too rigid and very difficult to tuck into PSU shroud
Overall Review: Ok
