Great MoBo, paired mine with a 5900x and 6900xt. Offers good overclocking room. My 5900x runs at 4.45 ghz. The AI suite 3 offers good overclocking options. Been a month since purchase don't see any issues.

LOVE IT.(Using it with Ryzen 3800x (gen 3) and 16gig ram and 2 x M2.0 disk drives.

El servicio de Amazon como siempre, excepcional. El producto cuando lo revisé, traía un pequeño daño estético, y por parte de Amazon volvieron a enviar uno nuevo el cual llegó al día siguiente.En cuanto a la funcionalidad, es un producto de muy alta calidad y gran funcionalidad. La actualización fue muy sencilla aunque tardó unos minutos en terminar (Actualizada por pendrive). Las opciones para configuración de la tarjeta son bastante amplias, las cuales tomará (en mi caso) un tiempo estar investigando cada una de ellas. para recocer la velocidad de las memorias RAM , fue necesario modificar el perfil desde la Bios, ya que venía en stock y solo reconocía 2333mhz, al activar el perfil , ya fueron reconocidos los 3600mhz del modelo que instalé.Para la instalación del SDD M.2 tuve que hacerlo en el slot m.2_2 ya que el disipador del SSD excedía las dimensiones de ancho del slot principal (m.2_1) y estaba muy justo con el puerto PCIEX_16_1.La cantidad conexiones para ventiladores es amplia, ya que te permite configuraciones para todas las necesidades y gustos.Para la instalación del procesador (Ryzen 3900x), tiene buen espacio para el disipador stock, en cuanto a distancia con las memorias RAM. Después al recibir el bracket AM4 para mi AIO, la instalación fue aún más sencilla, utilizando el backplate que tiene el socket del CPU.En cuanto al Software en CD que viene con la tarjeta madre, instalé todo excepto uno de los programas que no lo permitió por que era una versión obsoleta, esto con la intención de instalar los drivers más actuales, posterior a ello pueden desinstalar los programas que no requieran.En cuanto a audio, tuve que buscar la manera de instalar el Realtek Audio Manager para tener control de los Jacks posteriores y frontales, ahora funciona de maravilla y tengo control de todas y cada una de las funcionalidades que permite esta tarjeta madre.

I will say I originally wanted the WiFi version but it was out of stock everywhere, and I can't actually use WiFi 6 right now nor am I currently using a WiFi connection at all though that may change again. So I wanted it more for "just in case" than anything. The only other difference between this board and the WiFi model is no bluetooth which I wouldn't use on a gaming PC either.So, with that said let's move on. The board is solidly built and the BIOS software seems decently laid out but I'm coming from an older Intel board from Asus so I was pretty familiar with how Asus does their BIOS layout anyway. The lighting features are nice, I was worried about the "Hero" logo being too much but it's actually pretty muted (and I think can be turned off individually in the Aura software). Since I'll be going watercooling I was intrigued by the high current pump header but I've realized nobody seems to actually make a 3-4 pin pump connector that can go on a mobo header, they're all Molex or Molex with a 4pin mobo connector for a PWM feed. So I have to wonder if Asus knows something is coming.One of the big reasons I went with this board over the Gigabyte Master is USB support. They both support the same overall amount of ports, however the Asus board ALL of the USB ports are USB 3.x where Gigabyte 4 of the rear USB are 2.0 still. My case supports 4x USB 3 ports and a type C port so Gigabyte would have won there due to having two USB 3 front panel headers where the Asus only has 1, however Asus has basically put those on the I/O panel. The Hero has 11 ports plus the rear Type C. The Gigabyte board is 9 plus the Type C but 4 are 2.0. I was initially hesitant since I really wanted to enable all 4 front panel ports, but having things in the rear I/O is just cleaner anyway. Perhaps in the future they'll get rid of USB 2 headers entirely and replace with 3.0The top M.2 slot is a bit finicky to get to since part of the mounting is under the chipset fan shroud, but that's the one you want to use first as it's directly linked to the CPU. The other slot goes through the X570 chipset first, and disables some SATA ports in the process. It would be nice if there were 3 like the other boards, but there are limited resources and it's always a tradeoff. I suspect that ditching USB 2.0 on the rear panel and having a bunch of 5Gbit/s USB superspeed ports didn't allow for a 3rd M.2 slot.Other thoughts:My first board with built in I/O shield. This is very nice, and you can't forget it during install nowM.2 built in heatspreaders with thermal pads is a plus. Some PCI 4 drives come with heatsinks but they're big copper blocks and won't blend in if that matters to you. These would eliminate the need to use them.Asus still needs to refine the BIOS but it's early days still. They're one of the ONLY board manufacturers without the ability to set fan profiles for the chipset fan. It does run pretty quiet. I can't hear it over the stock cpu cooler I'm using for now. However once I go water cooling it's possible it might be noticed.VRM is more than enough for up through the 3950X at least. Buildzoid didn't have a lot of criticism for it vs Asus Z390 boards.
