The packaging matters because one has to remove the board from the packaging. The packaging doesn't need to be sexy (yet it is in its simplicity), but it needs to enable safe removal of the unit. It does that. It stores the accessories away nicely. There is a cardboard "tray" that holds the board, and that can be set aside while getting out other items (such as the manual).
I found the manual to actually be useful. It was just a notch above documenting the facts, and is going to be a valuable reference as I tinker with overclocking.
I am surprised at how impressive the backplate with punch-outs is. It is sturdy and insulated with a nice, soft seal. Securing the board in place seals up the ports so that dust infiltration will be minimal in that area.
Installation onto the motherboard tray was normal. My area of being impressed here is that my previous board rested on 8 posts, instead of 9. The 9th makes a difference. They are also arranged, mostly, in parallel rows making the support uniform.
I was pleased and shocked to find that the BIOS were so helpful and well laid out. Between the UI and the documentation, this was easy to use.
My previous board was an ASRock A77. The BIOS was rubbish that belonged in the 1990s. The board was not nearly as well built and felt flimsy by comparison. This ASUS board is a step up into a whole new world.
Also as stated before, there are a couple downsides - like only one internal USB 2.0 header and the second vertical M.2 slot is wonky; but the rest of the board makes you forget about those issues. The build quality is second to none, I've never seen a motherboard as well built as this one. The steel back plate is huge and sturdy, the ABS 'armor' on the top is a nice touch, the pre-assembled back I/O shield is gorgeous, and the Aura LED lighting is spectacular. The UEFI BIOS is excellent, and there's more than enough settings to make anyone's head spin. This thing even has dedicated ports & slow-start processes for LN2 if you really want to get ultra-crazy.
Besides the Crosschill water cooling & build quality though, why I really bought this board was for the components. It has a dedicated base-clock chip & Digi+ power control to really push the BCLK frequency, micro-fine alloy chokes, and Texas Instruments NexFet MOSFET's which are twice as efficient as standard MOSFETS, as well as anti-static & surge protection built in all around. This board is simply made to take whatever you throw at it.
Hopefully this is the last purchase I make for my computer for a while, time will tell if it takes the abuse I give it but so far so good.

La scheda, se pur usata è come nuova.
Les recomiendo que compren un i5 7600k o superior para poder hacer el overclock
Plus it took me just over an hour to finally fit this into my PC just to find out that it didn’t even work in the first place.
First I thought maybe it was my CPU but trying it on another PC my CPU was fine.
Waste of time
