Gorgeous, Mr AMD!

This pic below - I didn't add the red lighting for aesthetics.

Apparently, this motherboard has a way of telling you when your DDR4 is OVERHEATING. :laugh:

Got this to replace my faulty Corsair CS750M which was on my primary system.

AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT Reference card vs MSI Radeon RX 6800 XT Gaming X Trio

The reference card is small side by side but I was tried of a 3 cooler with anti-sag bracket MSI need to fix the way they design that ASAP because seriously.

The anti-sag bracket covers 2 slots below the card so you can have screws like this

I hate this design because it covers up everything else and it's a pain to move around and get back to perfect.

That board looks better in photos then in the product page. Nice!

I agree 100% The Asus product page photos are terrible with the multiple colored lighting - kinda washed out photos.

Here's what the board looked like when it first arrived, no lighting all metal heatsinks no plastic anywhere - it's gorgeous, and heavy.

Also, looks very nice with the lighting as a single static solid color.

I've had the:

Maximus V Extreme 2012
Maximus VIII Extreme 2015
Rampage V Edition 10 2016
Maximus X Apex 2017
EVGA Z390 Dark 2019
Maximus XIII Apex 2021- this is my favorite and best made highest quality motherboard by far from Asus.

Sexy case, I love mine, although a right angled display cable is a better fit.

I'm using feet I got with my jonsplus case to get around that.

Finally!

Been using this Gskill 3200/14 b-die kit for so long, 5years? like 2016, wow.

Finally, I'm able to update.

Have a peek at this thread, you'll likely get some high temps if your boards defaults are higher than snoop dog like the rest of us

5800x (and other Zen 3 chips) PBO settings/Temperature fix

The 5800x is well known for having heat issues on stock settings, because it's single 8 core CCX design shares the same power limits as the 2x6 (dual 6 core CCX) 5900x - so it's got a lot less space to cool itself with. A big part of the problem is that motherboards will raise the maximum TDC...

Sexy is a relative description. If you'd gone with the grey versions, the effect would be much better. Very nice Arctic Accelero Xtreme though!

Brown and white is a great combo, just ask prawnhub

Got an i5 9600KF for my second PC as on specs for a steal price, new from Amazon. Modded the BIOS with Coffee Time 0.99, did a hardware mod on the board to recognize CPU and we have a winner. Any LGA 1151 CPU is just plug and play on this board.
How many of you have tried running Coffee Lake on Z170/Z270?

Wow! That's really excellent. No stability issues or limitations?

No stability issues so far. Have been using this setup for 3 days now - continuous usage mixed with gaming, work and media consumption.
As for limitations, there are few minor ones like lack of resizeable bar support, Intel Platform Trust (responsible for TPM 2.0 - can be implemented with add on 14-1 pin TPM card - already in touch with ASUS for that). The resizable bar support with better BIOS modding skills/future programs might be possible. Already know some people with superior BIOS modding skills that have made that possible on their setups.
Even overclocking works great and I have settled for 5 GHz with AVX for daily usage at just 1.35V. Have set cache frequency at 4.8 GHz. The setup performs incredibly good on games, better than my primary system as on profile.

Gotta love it! Z170 is badass
I'm planning on moving to 8th/9th gen for my Z170 OCF when the time is right
