ASUS TUF GAMING Z890-PRO WIFI Intel ATX motherboard, 16+1+2+1(80A) power stages, DDR5, PCIe 5.0 w/full support for next-gen GPUs, 2xUSB4, front USB 20Gbps w/PD Fast Charge, 4xM.2 slots, Wi-Fi 7

Reviewing ASUS TUF gaming plus DDR4 WiFi versionI was looking for an upgrade from a Gigabyte Z390 so decided on a DDR4 board so that I could save by using existing memory. After a frustrating experience with an otherwise impressive Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Elite AX which suffered from memory compatibility issues, I sent that back in disgust and jumped shop to Asus!The Gigabyte board had it's positives such as the ability to flash the BIOS with no CPU or memory installed and some pretty on board lighting effects, but this board excels in many other more important areas. I plugged in my CPU and existing DDR4 memory and the whole thing just worked (the Gigabyte board would not even boot until BIOS was updated, and further failed to operate whatsoever when certain memory sockets were occupied).An annoyance with socket 1700 boards is the requirement to use a different CPU cooler to that of socket 1200. As I own a water cooler this is particularly a big deal as it means ordinarily I would require a conversion kit, but not so with this board as it has holes to accommodate both types of cooler (the Gigabyte board didn't). Also Intel CPU's appear to ship without stock coolers these days.This board also had plenty of USB C ports supported (2 on the rear and 1 header) as well as a 4 M.2 drive sockets and more PCI slots than average (5). Sadly one PCI port is obscured by my graphics card!So as far as hardware and hardware installation goes, this board is simply superb. Software install with Windows 11 was a bit fiddlier than I'd like, but not really any worse than most previous boards I've owned. Gigabyte in comparison excels here, but I eventually got the job done after typical download of drivers from Asus support plus Intel Inf updates and an unknown device recognised with a Dell driver. XMP memory profile works without issues which is a big plus as my original board was less than happy with XMP and would constantly switch this off automatically.The box contents are rather disappointing, with just the board, the odd screw, some sticky pads, wifi antenna and a couple of very short Sata cables. This appears to be a trend though as the Gigabyte board was similarly sparse! I remember my Z390 box was stuffed with all sorts of cables and mounting hardware!I've messed around with some USB superspeed devices on this board and no issues so far with all running significantly faster than the standard 480MB/s. I've thrown a few AAA games with ray tracing at it (using suitable GPU of course), and it and all seems stable amd smooth. Early days yet, but so far I am impressed with this board even if it doesn't have the super model good looks of the Gigabye Aorus or Asus ROG boards!This board is priced higher than the Gigabyte Aorus but so far has proved to be more stable so it seems you get what you pay for! OK so I'm comparing stability of this board paired with a 12th gen 12600k with a Gigabyte Z690 which was possibly faulty and a Z390 with 9th gen 9600k CPU, but some problematic games which a 9th gen CPU should happily handle are now running buttery smooth with all the same PSU, GPU, memory etc.

Plus: easy to instal clean to understand how you can use 4 - NVMe m2 ports very good audio codec solid construction and easy to instal graphic card port PCI 5.0 mobo for gamers Very good WiFiMinus: Price (too high) not too many USB ports on back panel Not enough USB sockets on mobo to cenect all USB from PC case (front panel) I have Corsair 7000x. This case has a 4 USB socket on front. I bought extra USB spliter to conect my case to mobo. Extra 10 pound,But final opinion about this motyherboard is Very good. I can honestly recommend.

In terms of product quality, this is hard to beat. I bought a new 13th Gen i7 processor, but didn't desire to jump up to DDR5, primarily because this is my enthusiast level gaming rig that I built myself. ASUS is a name synonymous with quality construction, and this delivers.It's well built, and provides great heat sinks for both the VRAM and the M.2 NVMe drives! If you're looking for a top of the range DDR4 gaming motherboard, you can rest easy knowing this one has all your bases covered. My PC runs like a dream with this forming the backbone, and I'd happily recommend this to anyone in need of such a board.

Simply great

item has 1 missing m.2 heating, also motherboard screws weren't there I'm not sure if they come whit screws I can live whit that but having a missing heating item definitely used returned item, 7 out of my 10 orders from Amazon started arriving used, and I just can't see why they have buy used options and sell the new item as used anywheres. the product on the other hand good can handle i9 13900kf with overclock had a 40k score on Cinebench R23 whit this motherboard if you can get a new one its a good one

The BIOS is highly adaptable for the needs of most users. The board is well laid out with plenty of FAN and a/RGB headers. 4 M.2 SSD slots with decent thermal covers. A good number of various USB ports on the I/O. A very good board for the price.

Great stable motherboard, I had no installation issues on my first-ever build of my own computer, and I was even able to update the BIOS using ASUS EZ Flash 3.

Solid and easy to install and setup. Very happy with the purchase.

Placa mãe robusta, porém com somente 4 salas 3. Podendo ser compensado com 4 satas nvme.

Für Gut gebraucht neuwertigen articek erhalten schnell versendet und das zu einen top preisDas Board ist einfach super verarbeitet und löuft tadelllos

Elimde 4 adet M2 SSD vardı. Onun için bunu aldım. Raid0 ile kurulum yaptım...

اللوحة جيده وتشغل 13900k وتكسر سرعته كمان بس فيها صوت زنه من جهة المعالج وهو طبيعي ولا تقدر تخفضه ولا منه مشكله بنفس الوقت اذا تعرف نفسك تتضايق من هالصوت لا تاخذها

After building everything together U realized this is not the correct board for your memory. Someone at Amazon advertised the wrong memory config.
