yea it survived from purchase to now even though i had 18-36 distributed denial of service attacks happening to me daily then finally after 2 yrs i found out this board does well with load balancing multiple adapters at once all network adapters power management turned off wifi + ethernet and im getting another ethernet for this board i figure i use this review to tell you to do this to all your network adapters and you set your slowest adapter to 10 and your faster adapter to priority 1 then any other adapter you have that is in between to any number in between and add a free noip dns to load balance the denial of service attacks they wont like that and change their ips to try again and eventually stop i also got this board after they fried my msi x299 gaming pro carbon ac motherboard and it is still great making this machine into a beast to handle these attacks if you get stuck in the process go look up in google how to change the priority order of the network adapters never disable adapters use a really fast ethernet cord in them connect all adapters to your network and organize them so you can load balance the attacks better this boards ethernet never went fast but the wifi adapter i got gave me full mbps so i put ethernet at priority 10 and wifi at 5 so i can put my thunderbolt 3 ethernet to priority 1 just need the thunderbolt 4 adapter to come in lol

This motherboard will not boot due to “USB Device in Overcurrent State Detected” error at boot. It just keeps cycling. I tried removing all USB connectors and devices, but the issue persists. I am really disappointed with this ASUS mobo. ASUS tech help team, there are literally thousands of comments on Google/reddit, can you guys comment and may be fix this issue with this mobo?

This motherboard is perfect for the average enthusiast. Plenty of storage slots, though one of them kind of has an odd mounting mechanic (see picture). The boot speed is great, about as fast as a laptop (with a m.2 boot drive), very durable and looks fantastic! I haven’t had any issues with the boards functionality yet, but be careful with changing things around in the BIOS if you don’t know what you’re doing.

Using on a 10900x i9 with 20 thread cores - works great, tested overclocking, with Crosair 2x32 gb rams on one slot on each side (still 6 free). Thermaltake 3-fan liquid cooler,TT 850 rgb fan on demand power supply, Asus 3 fan super 6gb graphics card with fan on demand(fan only runs when there is heat on both the graphic and the power supply) - RGB synced with TT's controller and i have to buy both the 3 pin and 4 pin rgb connectors for asus software to sync between all the devices (except ram from 32*2 crosair - which i am crazy about not to buy anything else) so far one thing i cannot figure out is to enable even the m.2. disks as standard, as it says bios does not support 1 TB WD black drives. i wanted to setup a raid 1 with 2 WD 1TB drives. both does not come down as Hard raids / even the disks are not readable.

Upgraded my pc recently. Works great but very temperamental when it comes to processor placement. Processor was placed the correct way but had to move it a hairs width a few times before PC officially started up.

I had to return this mobo and get a new one, or so i thought. I was able to return at A Kohls and get a new one sent out from Amazon directly. Shipping and the return process was lightning fast and easy. The mobo would get hung on boot up while my Nvidia 1660 super GPU was installed, even with the replacement. Turns out I just needed to boot with no GPU installed once, then power down and restart with GPU installed. Booted up, and allowed me to update bios via internet. It is a powerful mobo for the money, and the AI overclock is great. I love it. highly recomended.

Had only one issue with this MOBO. Tried to install a SADA SSD M.2 stick in the wrong socket. SADA SSD M.2 needs to be installed in the upright M.2 socket. Ended up installing an NVMe SSD M.2 stick as well. Very fast I/O. Installed the latest BIOS. My RAM was apparently to slow to overclock. I'll update that later. The MOBO does everything I need it to do and them some. Highly recommended.

曲げてしまいました． 古い経験では，CPU側にピンがあり，ピンの間隔もそれなりにあったので，ピンが曲がっても直すことができました．この機種（LGA 2066）ぐらいになると，直せないです． それで，元のマザーと単純に置き換えることが確実にできる，という主旨で，現行機種ではなくやや古い機種ではありますが，何とかこちらで見つけて，購入．ちょっと値段が高かったと思いますが，単純置き換え，を優先しました． ところで，ASUSのマザーの場合，付属DVDからドライバを入れなければなりませんね．グラボなど拡張カードの場合は，ハードウェア付属のCDやDVDは古いので使うことはない，と経験上，思っています．しかし，ASUSのマザーの場合，ASUSサイトに掲載されているドライバはあくまでアップデートだけであって，まずは付属DVDを使ってね，ということのようです．

The CPU pins were all fine, all components working so far after a couple weeks of use. Instructions were pretty clear on the setup. I have some experience building PCs but by no means an expert, everything was pretty standard.

Fitted a treat on son's PC after trying other ones. This one finally fitted & worked well

Amazing service, great product. Shipping was fast and my brand new, sealed in box, X-299 ASUS motherboard runs perfectly as expected.

Great
