    Good product

    So this is a very nice motherboard. The performance is good.
    However, I can't get the Intel Storage to work... I'm waiting for a bios update.
    For the installation of Windows 10 (or 11) plan to load the drivers on a usb key. I got screwed with the optical drive not recognized after the install was launched...
    If not, once the installation is finished, it allows you to recover drivers (including the network chipset) automatically.

    apart from the Asus updates

    I'm happy with my choice but the Asus utilities are not up to scratch; it's better to do without them

    Very good.

    This UEFI motherboard has a very comprehensive mouse menu. It has ASUS quality. Compatible with other OS than Windows 10 (easy Secure Boot management). The overclocking management seems very clever (but I don't use it myself). Good fan management, with RPM. In the end: card conforms to specifications.
