Needed a motherboard with a good amount of USB ports and multiple M.2 slots and this didn't disappoint at all! Really solid choice and the fact that it's a DDR4 version helps save a buck as DDR5 is still a bit pricey considering there is virtually no difference with gaming performance over DDR4. RGB works well with iCUE too if you're already using that.
If you are looking for white board and don’t want upgrade to DDR5, this motherboard is for you. Top notch quality from Asus as expected for the price you paying. It got all the latest tech you can get, tons of expansion slots either it is m.2 or pci express slots.
