Be sure to update the bios before you get your 13th gen cpu.
It's my first Asus motherboard, I'm happy with it, it does its job.
Never anything negative to say about the quality of Asus components.
Easy to use, LAN driver preloaded in the motherboard, Armoury Crate that launches automatically after Windows installation to complete the driver installation and the bios update. It's not like we're playing in the same league as other brands.
It's not complicated, in my PC it's Asus or nothing ;)
The most beautiful build quality I have seen on a motherboard.
Very practical with the 4 M2 slots, plus 3 of them have a built-in heatsink with thermal pads ready to use, no need for disks in the case.
The BIOS settings are very advanced and can be appreciated.
In short, nothing to complain about, with an i7-12700K and an RTX 3080 it runs like clockwork.
