What ram did you install? I have read that sometimes the system does not boot and perhaps it is due to the speed of the ram

Good and MSI tomahawk in my country there are no service centre for MSI but for Asus I have got service centre in almost every state so went for Asus But for MSI if I got any problem I have to ship it to USA first so I got Asus

hey how was the building part and how’s your pc held up?

[@falkiiii030]

@@johnmackie2377 to be honest I bought an upgrade PC and just put in the GRE. But something is wrong, because the PC starts 30 seconds after I turn it on. Maybe because of the AIO water cooling. The boot itself is quick and PC runs everything pretty smooth. Like apex legends on 240 Hz/fps

I bought this motherboard a few weeks ago. I was eagerly looking for it's review on your KZbin channel, but couldn't find any so I was anxious. But now that it's Laruent-Approved, I can rest easy :D Much like what other people have said on here, easily the best KZbinr for motherboard reviews

[@mando1337]

In a not so distant past for $200 you could buy an entry high end, all bells and whistles, motherboard. Nowadays for $200 you get the basics with the second from the bottom chipset. I bought this board because I refuse to spend $300+ on mid range mobo. Gamers should've put their foot down when nVidia decided it's ok to charge $2000 for a GPU. This trend has spilled to other components.

[@Atrumoris]

Any reason why Newegg ratings for this board are not that great?

[@mando1337]

Majority of the complaints (if not all) are related to issues with the memory. None of them says what sticks they've used so it's hard to comment. It is possible that they had problems with the EXPO. With other, non-ASUS, boards once the EXPO is turned off in the BIOS the system is fine. I've bought this board with Kingston Fury Beast 2x16GB. It's listed as compatible on the ASUS website so we'll see how it goes.

Google appears to say the 5.0 close to the CPU to avoid the drop of the Graphics Card. Just got the motherboard to try will see how it goes.

[@therat800]

@laurent Do you think it will work if I only connect the 8pin connector on top and not the 4 pin? I currently have a 650W PSU (Corsair RM650x). That one has 24pin, 4x8pin and some sata. Now I want (if possible) to keep the Case NZXT S340 and this PSU. And replace the i5-6600k+gtx1070+z170 mobo with 7800X3D+ASUS TUF RX7900XT OC (3x8pins) and this mobo. I know 650W might be on the limit for this combination, but tempted to just run it stock or undervolt. So I'm either missing a 4pin for the CPU on the mobo or only have 2 out of 3 8pin connectors for the GPU.

Buying an ASUS product is like playing Russian Roulette, but putting multiple bullets in the chamber. I have had around 60% of all ASUS products eventually fail on me over the last 25 years of PC building. Tech support is a joke and pretty much non existent. Due to my past experiences, it's just too risky to buy ASUS because if you need to RMA or open any correspondence with ASUS, you are most likely SOL and wasted yet more money on these guys. I have stayed away from ASUS as of late and miraculously had 0 failing parts since. On the fence between MSI over ASUS and Gigabyte, however this round of AM5 boards are a bit disappointing overall coming from all manufacturers and hugely overpriced. Shame on me if ASUS looks to be the best choice for me and I pull that trigger.
