    to avoid

    A nice motherboard, but a pain to install, which you have to update the bios if you want to get something, which bios update is done after 10 unsuccessful attempts, which recognizes only one memory bar, which network connection is a disaster (I was watching Youtube in 4k, now it's in 480).
    For this price, and for ASUS that I've been using for over 20 years, I expected much better

    connectivity

    The internal connectivity is really light.
    I bought this card in a hurry after my old PC died... I regret it.

    Great motherboard

    It works very well with my icore i9-9900K which I ordered together on this site, no problems with delivery. There is an RGB colour even when you turn off your computer and you don't turn off the switch, but it can be disabled from the software that installs automatically which is Armoury Crate.

    Ok, but at this price...

    Good point:
    Packaging, accessories, instructions, everything ok.
    It looks solid and the LEDs are a nice touch.

    Bad point :
    I bought it almost 1 year ago, and since the beginning I would say, I have a defect on the ethernet card which makes On/Off in loop, and audio artifacts on the Jack ports. At this price we don't expect to have problems like that. (card currently in service)
    First time buying ROG, I think I'll go back to MSI for my next upgrade in 5 years.
