There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Cmos, if the problem persists use a different bios rev. Sometimes a driver can cause this as well. I really have no major complaints with this board and I highly recommend it for high end builds. Oh, one last thing for Asus...I wish that the error code display could change colors. But again, a very minor thing.
I first ordered this king Asus Z490 motherboards but after delivery noticed that there was no ability to utilize on-board integrated graphics from the CPU (which I desire to use). So back it went. I have to say that the board is just amazing based on my hands-on-only. It feels like it is filled with copper or lead!
I wish I could have used this board with the 10gbps NIC and Thunderbolt interface, but that will have to wait. I will note that a competitor to this Asus board (there are 3 in the arena) does plumb/inject the display port output to the Thunderport port - I wish Asus had an option for this on this Extreme board.
I had to run out to the local blue and yellow store and buy an Asus Strix to allow me to continue with my build. The Strix seems to be one of the best mid-level boards for more users with more needs (better I/O options, overclocking, etc.). I write software and needs lots of striped M.2 performance and some mild but stable OC.
If you need/want use integrated graphics (i.e. 10900K) and not discrete video cards, because you want a semi-workstation-level machine for productivity, then the Asus Strix is probably the best all around board to get. No board, from any vendor seems to provide a HDMI/DP video ports, 10gbps NIC port AND Thunderbolt port on the rear I/O panel - this would be great for power users that are not using discrete video cards. Maybe this will appear with Z590+ boards - I hope so.
The back plate is lighted, which makes things very convenient if you ever fiddle around back there in the dark. Both the QLED and Display are easy to read and show error codes/actual problem (i.e., HDD error, rather than 'just' a two digit code). The rest of the RGB features on the board are great, too. Hands down one of the best looking motherboards on the market.
If you're OC'ing with this board, you're going to want to do everything manually. If you set things to auto/adaptive and let XMP do its thing, you're going to see voltages at 1.54 and higher. Would not recommend letting it make its own decisions, it's like a 10yr old in a LEGO store...gonna want a bit of everything. However, doing things manually is a breeze. I'm very fond of this BIOS. In light of that, I 'did' have stable overclocks letting the board do its thing. It ran really hot (over 100C, even with a 360mm AIO), but it was stable. Dropping voltage to 1.46 resulted in spikes no higher than 90C, average in the low 80s. I'll continue to work with it, but that's more a discussion for the CPU (I've also reviewed the i7-10700K if you care).
The board layout is fantastic with one exception. All headers/plugins are on the border (I came from a board in which that was not the case), all labeled and easy to read, a TON of fan slots, with the one exception...if you're liquid cooled and you have an AIO that REQUIRES you to plug into the AIO slot, it 'is' at the very bottom of the board, and the three separate AIOs I've owned were not long enough to reach. If you can plug into a CPU slot, you're fine. There are several to choose from within reach. Just keep it in mind if your cooler isn't capable of that.
The board comes with a DIMM2 extension, giving you the possibility of sticking your PCIe drives in eternal slots rather than tucked under heat shielding. It also comes with the latest and greatest Thunderbolt hookup, if that's something that tickles your fancy. I'm yet to try the WiFi antenna as I prefer wired, but I've heard it's nothing to write home about. It works.
If you have the money to drop on it, do it. You won't be disappointed in the least bit. There isn't an Intel board I'd recommend more.
