    Nice mobo in terms of specification.

    from completed build Current Gaming PC Build

    Pros:

    • Nice and heavy board
    • The amount of USB-C ports (4)
    • Quick release mechanisms for M.2 drives and for GPUs
    • The heat sinks for the M.2s and VRMs
    • Designed for overclocking
    • Everything is labeled very nicely on the board itself
    • It looks really nice and clean

    Cons:

    • Expensive
    • Overkill
    • The amount of USB Type A ports (6, seriously only 6?! The ROG STRIX X870E-E and ASRock X870E Taichi and Taichi Lite have 10!)
    • Extremely picky with RAM
    • Hates any overclocking you do
    • ASUS’s just wonderful support team (sarcasm)
    • BIOS updates not really fixing issues with this board

    Minor Grievances:

    • Top most M.2 heatsink is very tall and will interfere with some AIO liquid coolers (Ex. Arctic Liquid Freezer III)
    • Does not come with a manual, but rather a quick start guide. You will have to go find the manual on ASUS’s website.
    • The only way for me to get my hands on a 9800X3D was to purchase a combo bundle from NewEgg with this board.

    Final Thoughts:

    This motherboard has the potential to be extremely good, but ASUS dropped the ball with this one. It’s to expensive to recommend (unless the combo deal comes back at NewEgg for a 9800X3D and this board), it is overkill for most gaming applications, and while designed with overclocking in mind, this board hates any overclocking you will do. Even just trying to turn EXPO on to get your RAM sticks to operate at their intended levels is a struggle and their support team will try to gaslight you.

    I would recommend to get an ASRock X870E Taichi or Taichi Lite instead of this board. It’s cheaper, does overclocking just as well, has way more USB Type A ports, and is just better than this board in almost every turn.
