Everything work well, bought it for the DP Alt mode support to use with portable monitor.Few notes here:1. Win11 will not have any basic driver for the wifi, make sure you use LAN to download the driver or predownload the zip files first and install it via a usb drive.2. You may already seen some news about PCIE Q release, just make sure to follow the instructions on removing it using the Q release method to avoid damaging your PCIE connection.3. Make sure to add the included bumper ilwhen you installing SSD on the heatsink if your SSD only has single sided module.

So far pretty good experience with this motherboard.PC build with 9800X3D, DDR5 6000 (with EXPO), RTX 3080 went nice and smooth.-1 star because of price, and M2 SSD slot still bending the SSD a bit even with the rubber stand off and making it tough to have proper contact with pre-installed thermal pads. (thermal pads are pre-installed for both sides of SSD which is unnecessary for single-sided SSDs)

Runs 9000 series right out of the box, has great customization features in the bios, and it looks great.

Board works great and with no issues. Used it in my build in the NCase M2. People seem to have issues with windows 10, but I use windows 11 so that doesn’t matter to me.

There are at least two other ITX B850-sized boards; in my case, I am not able to detail full ITX usage, as I bought this board for a combination of stability and RAM overclocking.First and foremost, this motherboard does not support an Arctic Liquid Freezer III; the tubes will be hitting the NVMe heatsink block, as well as even the NVMe when the block is off. You may be able to install the pump NORTH; however, you may cause your cooler to develop bubbles or deteriorate.When it comes to overclocking RAM, this was on beta BIOS 1001 and 1002; it is able to go to its supported rate; however, it seems to be unstable, and this will depend on your CPU IMC (9800x3D here) and the RAM you are installing. I would recommend if you are buying this board for a new board, to look into 2x24 GB M-Die, which will be less intensive on the memory controller (less SoC voltage as well) and should be easier to stabilize at 8000 MHz.The features this board has does indeed beat the Gigabyte alternative and are comparable to the Asrock version, in my opinion. Due to the above issues, I cannot fully recommend the board in my use case, but I can recommend it for those who want a nice and feature-heavy board.When it comes to BIOS, ASUS is still cleaning up their AMD board's BIOS, and so my recommendation goes to the other company, Asrock. Memory training and bootup times have been faster on the competitor, while on this board they have been fairly long. Assuming you place in numbers, Asus can take up to 3 minutes even then.Unfortunately, we don't have much ITX or dual DIMM boards that are both cheap and good, but I wish anyone reading luck on their SFF builds or RAM overclocking!The build in image:9800x3dCopper Thermal Paste Guard (There is a Japanese review noting a few C lower in temps)This Board2x24gb TeamGroup Expert 7200 (@7800mhz stable, Y-cruncher, Karhu, TM5, 3h+)MSI RTX 4070 Super Gaming X SlimArctic Liquid Freezer IIIPhanteks Enthoo Pro IIDue to the motherboard and case constraint, I am also unable to install the "VRM FAN" for the AIO. It doesn't affect much other than some VRM temperatures (which are fine even without).This board is extremely powerful, and can be good if you are looking for a plug'n play!In my use case, I will most likely be returning this board.
