Well featured with some odd things for the price. So it has all the USB and other ports you should expect at this price and the heatsinks for all the SSD's. Great Problems. The main heatsink for the main M.2 SSD makes it near impossible to access the PCI-e Release for the gpu. and there is no release button or switch. You have to some ho wget in there with a screwdriver to release it. Yikes. Also the lack of 3.5 mm audio ports on the back is annoying for me because I had an old 5.1 speaker system that now wont work well with this new PC. The memory uses both sides of the latched to lock it in rather than slot it into the bottom and just a single latch at the top. Its just for the price it should not have those 3 problems.

Great motherboard!! Has everything I was looking for. Very stable. Everything works as it's supposed to. Can OC my x9850 to 5.9 easily. Couldn't get my 64gb ddr5 6000 cl30 to 6200 but could get it to cl28. Still playing with it... Does everything it's supposed to do, fast. Very happy with my purchase.

A fantastic Mobo with the future in mind. Easy set up. Tons of expansion. High quality materials. The ROG Strix decal graphics are a lot cooler IRL than the pics make it out to be.

Motherboard has five M.2 slots which makes for less wires for connections to other 2.5" SSDs being not required. The graphics on the board are clean along with the Aura Sync option! Looks great and handles my Ryzen 7 7800X3D chip excellently!
I would recommend this to a friend!
