After the dissapointment with another brand, I am super happy that this one just works!

This is my twelfth motherboard from Asus, seven of which are still in use. The oldest of the used ones is from 2005 and still runs - that's what I call quality.
Install, assemble and run.
Components:
- RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX Black (2 x 32GB, DDR4-3200, DIMM 288)
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
- CPU-Cooler: Scythe Mugen 5
- SSD: Corsair Force MP510 M.2 NVMe

Unpack, install, switch on and run. So far without any problems.

I find the motherboard's RGB software still has room for improvement. I don't know if this is a problem with the motherboard itself or the driver software. But the computer always has to be switched off at the power supply after it has been switched off, because the RGB of the motherboard is always present. I haven't found a function to change this yet. In addition, I always have to go into the driver when starting up so that the correct RGB scenario runs. Haven't found an option for this, so that this is solved...

Everything works fine, which is not always the case with Asus.
ASUS cashback promotion is a scam. I didn’t get my cashback as promised and I had to contact them. Eventually was told that they were sorry and I would receive the cashback soon. Received the wrong amount from a third party « Ninepoint? ». ASUS shows me a receipt between them and ninepoint, saying that they sent them 45 chf to send to me but ninepoint sent me only 36 chf in the end. I get in contact with them with bank receipts proving that I never got the correct cashback amount but since then they ignore me.

The POWER and the HDD-LED just didn't want to light up.
I had tried various things.
Other LED from another PC, ordered new LED, everything else.
Finally the board was replaced by Digitec within the DOA time.
Now the LEDs from the case light up as they should.
Nice side effect, had while troubleshooting the original white against a blue and red LED exchanged, looks cooler. 😉
WiFi and Bluetooth adapter do not work!
According to ASUS support I have to send my motherboard and wait until I get a replacement (ie remove everything and wait weeks until the new one is there) or buy a PCI Wifi + Bluetooth adapter. Digitec support was also not very helpful: "buy a new motherboard and send the old one".
