ASUS Z390-A is a low-end product but with a price that is not... The manufacturing quality is really cheap (Made in China), the radiators are made of ultra thin aluminium sheet. It remains to be seen if it will last... But I regret my choice of ASUS... I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a new one, but I'm sure it will be.
from the material point of view, nothing special to report
I'm not sure if I like it or not, it's not a criterion for me.
I'm not a fan of the Z390, but I'm a fan of the Z390 Tuf Pro, which was out of stock at the time I ordered it.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea to change the settings of my computer, but I'm sure it's a good idea to change the settings of my computer, and I'm sure it's a good idea to change the settings of my computer, and I'm sure it's a good idea to change the settings of my computer, and I'm sure it's a good idea to change the settings of my computer.
I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to install W10 on a removable media, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it on my own.
XMP profile : one click and my crucial 3000 are instantly recognized at their correct frequency and timings without crashing.
I596600K recognized without problem with the version of the bios (the card has just been released there is no other at this time!)
PS I find the price a bit exaggerated for the small difference between z370 and z390 chipsets
