Pros: SUPPORT really helped. The instructions are not noob friendly, ASUS support was!
Overall Review: After help from support my benchmarks rocked.
Pros: Solid performance, MB came up quickly with CPU and Memory and installed Win10 to NVMe SSD painlessly.
Cons: -Windows 10 Device Manager flags PCI Device and SM Bus Controller as not having drivers. Tried ME driver set from ASUS website, from DVD that came with Motherboard and finally from Intel website but unable to make those two Devices happy. Not seeing any negative performance impact as everything seems to be working fine so I'm just going to ignore. Saw indications that others have had this problem but found their solutions didn't help me. One user who experienced the same problem rolled back their BIOS to an older version and problem went away. I had the latest BIOS (1208) loaded and didn't want to mess with it anymore.
Overall Review: Running with Intel i5-10400 CPU with no video card using MB video to drive two monitors at 1920x1080 (user is not a gamer). Boots up to Win 10 in about 12 seconds! Very fast and responsive PC. Very powerful PC for such an economical build!
Pros: CPU/Video connectors are generally good
Cons: The onboard LAN is garbage. Mine won't go beyond 10 mbps no matter what I do to the settings. Flashed the bios, updated the drivers, rolled the drivers back. Nothing works. If I try to connect at a higher speed through advanced settings the connection fails all together.
Overall Review: I can't recommend a motherboard with onboard LAN that has issues. This is not new technology. It's unacceptable for this not work out of the box.
Overall Review: Work as fast as i find out with all the exact
Cons: the Ethernet I1219v has making the network discount intermittent like million times a day for my use and i just found out now and i cant even return this defect product now as the purchased date was almost 2 months ago
Overall Review: NO
Pros: it meets my need. it has a 1200 lga for the latest intel cpu.
Cons: none that i know of.
Overall Review: great board. it meets my need. it is asus. asus is a great maker of mobo.
Pros: Dual USB3 header. Dual M.2 slots. Nice BIOS settings for overclocking if you have the right CPU. DDR4 XMP settings
Cons: No enough USB ports in the back if you are using a lot of USB devices. BIOS issues, but those can be resolved. PCIe still gen3.
Overall Review: Paired with Intel i3-10100, it was a decent upgrade from Z97 with i5-4690K. I was planning a small budget built and this suits very well and re-using parts from previous old Z97 built. For reference, there are some websites that mention budget Intel PC using the latest 10th generation in 2020. Also decent built-in graphics, although nothing spectacular since it is pretty much the same as previous Intel generations. It was good enough for casual games like 2D platforms, adventure, puzzle and others similar. Or if you are planning or doing WHF (work from home) this setup is good enough for your MS Office and video conferences, etc. One note is that when you flash the bios to a newer version, you might get a blank screen after one or two reboots. One solution is to turn off the PC, clear the CMOS (look for CLRCMOS jumper) and power it on again. Another issue I found probably with newer bios is that if you change too many settings at the same time, it will hang on next boot. So again, clear the CMOS and change one setting at the time; meaning change 1 setting, save bios, reboot then do it again for next setting. Probably this will be fixed in the next BIOS revisions. Not planning to upgrade the graphics card yet which probably I will see what options from Nvidia 3000 series, or re-use my old GTX960 4GB edition. For future proof as far as i know, this board (or the 400 series) will support next generation of Intel CPU (11th gen). So maybe wait and see what upgrade options are going to be available from Intel.

Pros: full set of video connectors Everything I needed for a small "server" at a great price good BIOS 8+2 power delivery 3 onboard heat sinks
Overall Review: I usually build with high-end ASUS boards. For a surveillance and home automation server I didn't need all that, but I wanted a good VRM, internal connectors, and heat sinks on the internals because the machine was going to live in a warm environment. I wanted to limit power draw so having a full assortment of video connectors means I didn't need a video card. The only thing I might have wanted to add to it was an integrated IO panel.
