IMPORTANT OS REVIEW
My motherboard came faulty and non-functional. I waited to write this review until I bought another one.The Second motherboard I order came fully functional (Thank God).I large caution to those who buy this motherboard AND a 5000 series CPU. DO NOT PANIC when installing a fresh clean Windows 10 OS install, by fresh and clean and you get Blue Screens of Death with "clock_watchdog_timeout" errors. You have to literally play russian roulette with the update assistant (download one to a flash drive before doing this so it can catch you up to speed on all updates all at once) because once the update manager finally makes it all your blue screens will be solved. The problem for this is fresh installs of windows 10 (if you are someone like me that has a disc from 2015) does NOT support any thing your 2022 tech has. It cant properly use your CPU so it gets hung up trying to proccess things. Do not uninstall drivers until you ran the windows update assistant manager tool (which you should have ready to use from a flash drive).Aside from all this frustration, the board works amazing, came straight out of the box working for my R9 5950x CPU and I had no issues whatsoever with the motherboard itself. I wont knock a star for receiving a bad board the first time around, these things happen and ASUS has amazing customer support.

5.0 out of 5 stars Phenominal board all around.
Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2021
This board is the endgame as far as I am concerned. I'll try to be concise.

Why I like it:
- Passive x570 chipset cooling
- Onboard post-code screen
- Onboard reset & safe boot buttons
- 2 on board m.2 ports (supports NVMe on both)
- Great VRM cooling
- Metal cover over audio caps

This board also has probably the best rear IO I have ever seen. I wish the lower-end boards had something similar like this. What do I mean? Well, there are the following on the IO:
- Clear CMOS button
- BIOS flashback button
- Wifi 6
- 4x USB 3.2 gen 1 type-A ports
- 7x USB 3.2 gen 2 type-A ports
- 1x USB 3.2 gen 2 type-C port
- Both 2.5G LAN and Intel Gigabit Lan
- Full audio (with optical if you're into that sort of thing)
Some things that are in the very back of my head but I should mention for improvements:
- A single onboard HDMI or DP port would be cool just in case you have an APU, though it would be wasted on this board
- Maybe another m.2 port on the back? I feel like these types of drives are becoming more and more popular and it would be nice to have more.
