Terrible firmware and support. Armory Crate is bloatware and does not work. Installs so many files and ultimately can't find the mother board. Phone support can't help. 2nd level support keeps sending me questions without any real support.

If you are experiencing issues after you have updated Armory Crate and the BIOS on this motherboard, ensure you uninstalled or removed old drivers and software that may cause conflict. For a smooth and a trouble-free built, we recommend to install Windows clean to eliminate potential driver or sofware conflict that may cause issues with Armoury Crate, and system stability and performance.

Overall well built motherboard. Installation instructions are inadequate. For example, there is no info, either in the printed manual (which is close to useless) or on the ASUS website about whether and when to connect one or two CPU power cables. This is important info that should be in the documentation!

I am still in the process of assembling this motherboard and waiting for parts to arrive. I have assembled several PCs over the years, and this is not my first ASUS. The quality of this MB is impressive, sporting features I have not had before, like the built-in heatsinks. It does take a little planning, because, as I discovered, some features become very difficult to access as other bigger parts are installed. The downloadable manual contains some information that would be useful right away, and, I think, should be included in the rather skimpy included manual with tiny print. Other than that, I have no complaints thus far. Now, when I power it up, I just have to hope I have done everything correctly.
