Has everything that was required for my daughters build, so can't complain here. Lack of TPM may be an issue in the future, however, we are currently Windows 10 loyal until such times as a forced upgrade is required.
XMP IS BROKEN even with the latest BIOS update. This mobo is running Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C16 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit, currently @ 2333MHz. WIth XMP enabled, the second the windows logon screen appears, the system BSODs with different memory related errors. Turn XMP off.... back to normal, zero stability issues.
I have reported this to ASUS support
Budget board but features should work

Yes this is a budget board but stuff should still work right? Documentation is good. The feature set that is there is good. Wi-fi is a useful asset.
Win 10 is dead, so just ship the board with a TPM. Module please Asus? £15 on Amazon. XMP is advertised. Great, but this implementation is flaky. Could be my RAM but quickly found a thread on Reddit that had the same issue I found with Asus board. Uhmm. It couldn't clock up to 3600MHz. You have to dial down to 3500MHz. The system is very unstable with XMP and quickly encountered some crashing when pushed almost like it's either overheating or poor voltage control. IO shield is very cheap and I struggled to fit the board with the shield. Not sure if it's the board or the case. A budget board and you feel it.
