Motherboard bought 2 years ago and as soon as I do an update it's an endless boot problem.
I have to reboot my PC manually 15 times because otherwise it crashes during the boot phase or displays an error message.
Since the bios update 2709 RAM RGB freezes 10min after booting.
Chosen for a gamer PC, it keeps its promises (it's Asus ...)
The LEDs aren't blinding and the fact that you can fit 4 M2 SSDs, including 3 with heatsinks, is a big plus.
