I'd love to give this a 5, but I can't bring myself to do so just because I like Asus. I do hope if you are reading this that you have a better experience with your MOBO than I did. Now, I do understand and fully expect to have some "growing pains" more or less anytime there is new hardware architectures being rolled out. However, I do wish that was the cause of the issues I've had with this board. I've had a number of Asus motherboards over the near 20 years I've been building my own systems, while upgrading nearly every new gen CPU when released. In all that time, I've never experienced a capacitor going bad, or really anything else going bad on a board before. I'm not sure what the reason was for it, but I can tell you that it caused some havoc, now that wasn't the only issue either. I've been running an Intel i9-13900KS delided, with direct die liquid graphene, which typically won't go but 10-15c beyond ambient at full load. Although temps are getting the green check from me, stability seems to only be checking out. I've dealt with it not posting, to BSOD's, to Black screen, to infinite recovery loop. I had an issue where after windows updated upon restarting, I would get a black screen, where my only option to resolve it, was to delete the update via advanced startup menu. This is my second board, and I had hoped that perhaps the new revision model would be less finicky, and more pew pew. Unfortunately, I was as dissatisfied a girl losing her V-card. All in all, it hasn't been too horrible, it's afforded me the chance to, err rather time to... Well, I'm sure there's a silver lining to be seen somewhere. Meh...
Great board- don't fall for the ability to run 7000mhz ram though, MB will run ~ 6000 fine but anything higher it starts to have issues, otherwise everything else works good.
