While a nice small board, i found the PCH fan too much. Currently sitting at 6000rpm and havent found a way to turn it down. You can find BIOS mods that allow you do to this but im hoping that we get some some support from ASUS about this. everything else runs great on this machine.
Mostly good, though expensive for what it is I think.
I nearly bought a 400 series board but didn't want have to deal with the pre-Bios updates to use a Ryzen 3, and wanted the latest MB/ WiFi features as well.
The IO shield isn't built in like other Strix cards, which was a bit disappointing.
Fiddly to install the top NVME drive and HD audio front cabling - lots of little screws to contend with.
2 tiny motherboard fans, which though inaudible will no doubt fail at some point.
But it is future proofed with PCIE4, and will be able to run a new 16 core Ryzen when they drop in price.
Currently used with a Ryzen 3600 which I am very ple...view more
Overall super happy with this motherboard. all in all super easy to use and works great without any trouble.
Has everything you need for a powerful ITX build, RGB and software all working flawlessly
Had to exchange a Gigabyte Aorus X570i for this one cause the socket was too high for my CPU cooler to fit in.

Amazing motherboard, VRM is top notch in terms of quality (as is ultimately needed for mITX). Also don't let the fans deter you, my CPU and chassis fans are louder than these little fans. Works great in my InWin A1 case. Also you have the future proofing in that 4000 series Ryzen processors will work on this motherboard unlike an x470.
My first AMD build was going to be an ITX one. Looked between Gigabyte, MSI and ASUS and settled on ASUS even with the price.
ASUS is a great brand and this product is the next best thing until I could get a Crosshair VIII Impact.
The only thing that isn't great, is the IO shield not pre-mounted.
Great board, all features as listed. Keep in mind you don't get USB-C header on MB for your case IO. Works with AMD stock coolers great, but be careful with larger coolers due to a limited clearing. Solid option, one of 2 best on the market. 1 week in and very happy.

The intuitive Sonic Studio interface also offers a range of EQ options and one-click presets, allowing you to tailor acoustics to suit personal preferences or the characteristics of your headset.
*A head-related transfer function is an audio algorithm derived from sound data recorded through a dummy head. Test tones are played from a spherical grid around the dummy head to obtain subtle changes in sounds that come from different directions. The results are combined into an algorithm that allows Sonic Studio's virtual surround to process sound true to life.
