Perfect Super Tower Motherboard!

Perfect Super Tower Motherboard!
My motherboard install went excellent, I had a super tower case I installed this into, the Cooler Master Cosmos c700p, definitely a monster. The motherboard setup was excellent and fit all my components. Now I didn’t not have any of the failures any of the other reviewers were talking about but I did have an issue. A semi serious one but it was fixed. I have always built my Asus Boards with Gskill ram. Always so I decided to go 128GB at 3600mhz. Now the 128Gb kit was not on the QVL, so I initially had issues under load when games would crash to desktop. Pc wouldn’t lock up just the games would randomly crash. If I removed the XMP profile it worked fine. But leaving all that speed on the table didn’t sit well with me. I eventually did the latest BIOS update to I believe 801, or 901 and now with the standard XMP profile everything works as it should. It was annoying spending over 4-5K and have a non working machine but now it’s all good.
