Perfectly working and featured motherboard

Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2019

Those two 1-stars on here do not provide any useful criticism and should be ignored.

Asus motherboards (and BIOS) are top quality - My previous computer built in 2014 with an Asus mobo still works perfectly well. This one is no exception, and although pricey, the features are worth the money (in my case). Unfortunately the LGA2066 socket comes with a price premium on components that support the LGA2066 features.

Mine arrived in perfect condition and installation went on without any troubles. I haven't had any issues with it since I installed it and I don't expect I will. RAM (3200 mhz) overclocked without any issues either.

Just a word of warning for those of you several running peripherals, like a control board and a cpu cooler, that require more than one USB2.0 header: there is only 1 USB2.0 header at the bottom of the board. Be prepared to order a header splitter; the one from NZXT works well.

Wish I read the reviews. 2 dead boards in a row

Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2019

Started with known working pc. Wanted to upgrade for the dual thunderbolt DP in onboard.

-First board code: 00, seems a lot of people had this happen so I got a second board.
-Second board didnt even cycle.

You plug it in, all the fancy lights turn on and the oled fires up and you press the power button (because you have nothing else hooked up in testing mode) and nada. Not even an error.

All components back in original computers with gigabyte board and writing this review.... So yeah... Confirmed asus bad QA these days. Believe the hype.

Amazon at least is being cool about it. First return is on the house, second one was 6 bucks with the pre-lable. Price of doing business. Thanks for not making me deal directly with asus.

Small Screen on MB displays CPU Temp - Very Convenient

Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2021

Great Motherboard! Was easy to setup and install components. Small screen on motherboard showing CPU Temp is very nice. Only issue I had was with the Aura Creator software recognizing all my RGB components so I could set color schemes. Had to uninstall Aura Creator software that was provided on CD in box, re-boot computer, and then download the latest version from the ASUS website. Btw, the steps mentioned above are critical. Must reboot between uninstall and new install, then boot again after the new install. Once I did that, it works great.

Great board, nonexistent support.

This turned out to be a really good motherboard, but ASUS support is, I mean, really bad. I had multiple terminal crashes while surfing a few websites. ASUS support literally told me “its Windows and Windows crashes all the time.” After multiple reinstalls of Windows and setting up my build, I figured out the ASUS Q installer didn’t have a driver for the second Ethernet port which is 5g. I wasn’t even using it yet, but it was a missing driver. I went through the drivers in my ASUS account and found one - in the middle of a total list of current and legacy drivers. After that, I haven’t had a single crash in 3 weeks. I like my computer, but ASUS is horribly unorganized and the support specialists didn’t speak English well enough to make other instructions - which need to be precise - understandable in the right order. Follow-ups by supervisors showed no interest in updating the installer.

Quality Number 2

Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2019

This is the third of their X299 boards, really does the job. 8 SATA connectors, I have a 5x4tb drive Raid 5 plus a 3x1tb SSD Raid 0. Has 3 M.2 NVME's built on the motherboard, I have a 1tb in each, the one standing up in the picture has a mount I haven't installed yet. It comes with the cables and screws, however there are so many different things to do with this motherboard you have a tough time sorting and finding what you need for the particular build. I used the Corsair Obsidian case which did the same things, gave me 5x what I needed in cabled and parts. It does come with a daughterboard which I took a picture of, allows you to have 3 temperature probes plus the one temperature probe on the motherboard for a total of 4. Incidentally the case came with 4 also and it's own board. The daughter board powers fans, the mother board has plenty, plus for the CPU it has 2x CPU Fan connectors, and 2x Pump pump connectors, then on the bottom of the board is a higher power pump connector. There's a lot, you can do a lot with this board. The thunderbolt 3 I didn't get work as I wanted, reviews say you can plug in your displayport FROM your video card into the Displayport IN in the back, then using the thunderbolt 3 connection split that video into multiple outputs, I couldn't get it to work however could do a single video out. You have two Displayport IN, those are not outputs. Plenty of USB 3.1, plenty of everything. It uses the Intel Rapid Storage Technology, , RST or IRST, confusingly it looks like you have to pay for it but it's not, it's free you just turn it on in the bios then boot and it's there. You can see how I configured the drives in the picture, super easy and it's super fast. You can use one of your M.2 for an optane drive and use that to speed it up, but I would rather have 3x 1tb NVME drives and just use them for cache storage I set up. It supports the Aura but you can't see it because the case fans cover up the lights in the back and the ones in the middle of the motherboard are covered by the graphics card, that has to be there. The qcode and the screen, and the 4 lights that tell you status, plus the on motherboard bios flashing without boot, plus power and reset buttons, all huge plusses when doing the buildout.

Couldn't be more pleased with this mobo

Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2020

This was the main part of a new computer build for my recording studio. What a huge step up from the older MSI board I was using. Everything about this product exceeded my expectations. ASUS rocks! A neat side-effect of this install was the built-in WIFI adapter. Initially I was running the system without the included WIFI extender antenna and getting fairly lame performance. I decided to attach the antenna almost as a last resort and the download speed jumped from around 40mbps to over 200mbps (I use Comcast service at 200mbps option). It was like winning the WIFI lottery lolol. Don't need the ethernet cable anymore.

With a new M.2 drive as my OS drive, Windows 10 Pro boots up in like 10 seconds. It takes the BIOS longer to load than Windows. Amazing. As a recording machine (DAW), it's absolutely fabulous. I'm not a gamer so much of the gaming aspects of this product are lost on me but as a studio recording platform... I'm in heaven. Thanks ASUS and Amazon!

Had everything I was looking for for my workstation build. 3 M2 slots and Thunderbolt 3 were all a huge priority for me. Build was very straight forward and quite easy. Went from a 5820K to a 9920X. 9920X, this mobo, 1080ti (going to get a 2nd), 32GB DDR4 (going to go for 64GB), 512GB WD Black M2. 1TB Inlaid Pro M2. 3.5TB SSD. 2x 6TB 7200RPM drives. This computer is primarily for DaVinci Resolve, AVID Symphony and gaming.

dead PCIe slots

Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2021

Verified Purchase

The motherboard, as a whole, seems like it would be an awesome motherboard. I am currently in the midst of the return process, however, because it showed up with only one working PCIe slot.
I cannot comment, yet, on the customer service for the return but will do so pending the outcome.

One of a kind

Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2019

Arrived with bent pins in one of the USB 3.0 headers. I didn’t realize this until after I put it together, and other than that, it seems to work. My case only has one 3.0 connector and the motherboard has two total, so fortunately it ended up “not mattering” for this build (it still matters, especially at this price point). As I understand it, this is the third motherboard in the x299 Prime series Asus put out, and the other two have mixed reviews indicating Amazon, Newegg, and potentially others had received some bad batches. I took the gamble because frankly Asus knows exactly who they’re making boards for, and there’s nothing else like this on the market. Once the drivers are installed, the Thunderbolt 3 ports work flawlessly with the Presonus Quantum + the Apple TB2/3 adapter. Overall, this is a premium motherboard that offers a lot. I’m hoping it will hold up over time.

An Expensive but great motherboard to fill my needs.

Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2020

Pros: Plenty of useful features and an upgraded VRM for keeping over clocks stable. I bought this board to replace my TUF due to a bad power supply taking it out. Found this on sale and pulled the trigger. I am satisfied with my purchase. I was not going to buy a new cpu and motherboard combo.
Cons: At fist one of the RAM slots did not recognize my Crucial modules that I know still works fine. After a re-seat and reset the problem was resolved. The same thing applies to my gigabit network connection issue. This is the first board I purchased with this issue.
