Top board for an ASUS mainboard fan
I'm happy with the board. Runs a 9800X3D on it. I would have got the Hero, but the extra USB ports and the lack of need to spend more on a board led me to the Strix 870E-E. Direct bios update on it. Voltages are set reasonably and my G.Skill Set 6000MT/s runs flawlessly with Expo2. Initial ram tweaking also indicates positive results. The board is super inconspicuous (lighting is off).
Pro
- Good equipment
- Simple M.2 mounting (no more screws required)
- Good performance and OC properties
- Many USB ports
Contra
- Mainbaords are simply too expensive
Easy installation
My first build with this mobo and it was very easy
The M2_2 and M2_3 heatsink is big watchout for compatiblity with your aio (not compatible with Arctic Liquid Freeze III)Pro
- Noob frendly
- Lots of usb
- Ethernet 5Gbit/s
Contra
- M.2_2 and M.2_3 lane share with the gpu
- M.2_2 and M.2_3 heatsink is one block
Great Mainboard with one major flaw
It is a great mainboard but there is one major flaw for a three star rating.
After investigating the issue and finding a post in the ASUS user forums, the x870 chipset mainboards suffer an issue with the M2_2 slot which is used for Gen 5 M2 SSDs. It randomly doesn't show up on boot and after a reboot it appears again. On the next reboot it is gone again. Currently (as of 19-Feb-2025) this issue is not addressed in a firmware update.
Alternative is to use the other M2_4 and M2_5 Gen4 slots.Pro
- Quality of integrated components (WLAN, Sound, etc)
- Supports 8000 MHz DDR5
- Many various connections offers
- Currently, future proof
Contra
- Price
- M2_2 slot stability
Good MB
BIOS working fine, but didn't recognise my ssd (Samsung 990 Pro 2Tb) in the boot priority. Finally I rebooted my motherboard, and it finally recognised, and I was able to install Windows 11 without any problem.
Contra
- Even when the PC is switched off, the motherboard remains switched on, just install: Aura Creator
Simply works perfectly and smoothly.
Pro
- No more problems at all.
A lacking monster that's too expensive
It's an amazing board, however at that price I would expect some more attention to detail and features, for example no shared lanes between ANY M.2 and GPU and probably a better GPU lock mechanism
Pro
- Plenty of USB ports
- M.2 latches and M2_1 doesn't require any screw at all
- Good heatsinks
Contra
- Shared PCIe lanes between M2_2, M2_3 and GPU
- Way too expensive
- Armoury Crate is still bad
- GPU lock doesn't inspire confidence
