Customers are mixed about the stability of the motherboard. Some mention that the BIOS is stable now, and has worked well from day one since they bought their Ryzen 1600, while others say that the network card worked but made the system unstable and caused the NVMe drive to crash. It does take some work to get it stable, and the easy overclock functionality was not stable. Additionally, the motherboard is extremely fragile and keeps turning off after restarting.

"...doing its startup thing, but around whatever AA is, it would stop, shut down, and reboot...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the port of the motherboard. Some mention that there are tons of USB ports and wi-fi is not an issue for them as any real, while others say that there is only one USB 2.0 port, not enough USB 2.1 headers on the MoBo, and that the rear case fan covers the USB header. There is also no PS/2 port and the firmware screwed up all of the USB ports for a week. Overall, the opinions are mixed, and it's recommended to read the reviews carefully before making a purchase.
"...1 thing I was surprised to find was that there is only 1 USB input on the board, which is getting used by my Corsair h110...." Read more
"...-Eight SATA ports. I don't need this many, but for someone who does, this board has it.-RAM and CPU cooler clearance is a non-issue...." Read more

Customers are mixed about the lighting of the motherboard. Some mention that the Q-Code LED display is a godsend, the RGB colors are the most accurate, and the two included RGB headers are well placed. However, others say that the RGB lighting drivers don't work properly, the LED gets covered by the rear case fan, and it has a single USB header.

Pros:
-Extremely overkill VRM for both the CPU and RAM. The heatsinks are definitely more for looks than function as with most ASUS boards, but they get the job done and VRM temps are very reasonable, most likely because the VRM is so overkill.
-The Q-Code LED display is a godsend. It's extremely useful for troubleshooting.
-Good RAM compatibility with the latest BIOS. I'm running Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3000MHz CL15 and running it at 3333MHz (16-17-17-38 timings 1.35V) fully stable with no errors in memtest86 or BSODs.
-BIOS is well laid out and clean, easy to navigate and has tons and tons of features. Overclocker's wet dream.
-Large clear-CMOS button on the back in the IO plate in case you really mess up some settings, compared to many motherboards which use a pin jumper or a tiny button on the PCB. Also has Start button, retry button, and reset button on the motherboard which are very useful for overclocking and are good for open air test benches where you don't have a button on the PC case to turn it on.
-Eight SATA ports. I don't need this many, but for someone who does, this board has it.
-RAM and CPU cooler clearance is a non-issue. I have a Noctua NH-D15 and the RAM has more than enough clearance.
-Lots of fan headers, all of which are PWM controllable. Love it.
Cons:
-Only one M.2 slot. Boo.
-ASUS Aura Sync is just meh. There's no ability to have white as the color (my build is white themed so I just had to turn them off).
-The LEDs on the PCB can be distracting if your case is more dim than usual. Especially the bright red LED on the Start button on the bottom of the PCB.
One thing to note is that I do NOT overclock my CPU. With Ryzen 2 there's really no reason to do an all-core overclock especially for gaming, because XFR 2.0 will overclock individual cores higher than you'll be able to get an all-core overclock, and many benchmarks show you can actually have higher FPS in some games using XFR 2.0 and not overclocking, since most games won't use all 6 cores/12 threads and benefit from higher clocks in the first few cores. However, the VRM on this motherboard are beastly, and if you do want to overclock, go for it. This thing will handle anything.
My experience with this board thus far has been largely positive, especially in regards to its stability and flexibility performance wise. The main reason I purchased this board was due to the adaptability provided in re-using my Corsair H100 V2 cooler. Although this board does come with the holes for an AM3+ compatible cooler, it does not come with a compatible back-plate. I had used an AM3+ back-plate I had laying around and found a perfect match in compatibility with regard to mounting the cooler. Installing an AM3+ back-plate will at first seem loose, but tightens to a snug fit once the cooler is mounted to the CPU.
For those looking to replace the back-plate for an AM3+, you'll find that removing the AM4 back-plate does take some force due to the installed adhesive tape; which luckily is not too much hassle due to the rigidity of this board under pressure. Those seeking to reuse an AM3+ cooling product from will want to ensure they have an AM3+ back-plate laying around or order one prior to receiving the board. An AM4 compatible bracket may also be ordered direct from your cooler's manufacturer. I pre-ordered the AM4 bracket from Corsair, but don't expect to receive it any time soon (I'm still waiting for mine and don't expect to receive it until mid April to May).
Overall, I would have to contend that the functionality and stability of this board so far meets and exceeds my expectations for a newly released and not yet fully optimized board.The only negative experience I had resulted in how the product was shipped, as the product was shipped only by slapping a sticker on the original motherboard's box and not placed in a more secure and appropriate shipping box. When the product arrived, the box had very noticeable damage to the box. Luckily the contents inside were fine and undamaged.

So ladies & gentleman, Please be sure when you purchasing something from Amazon. Make sure you don't leave anything behind. Please check your warranty & purchase date in Asus website ASAP, once you receive your package.
La reseña pues, con un excelente diseño, excelente rendimiento y disipación, su iluminación RGB en los Logos le da un toque especial, RECOMENDADA, solo le falto una pequeña cosa, quiza poco importante para ti que estas leyendo esto pero muy importante para mi, y es que en sonido solo le falto tener al igual que a su antecesora, DTS Ultra PC y DTS Connect, ya que tengo un receptor 5.1 canales y en juegos, si diera ese formato directo seria IMPECABLE, ya que la motherboard se encargaria de decodificar los canales de audio y no el receptor, esta función la hubiese hecho perfecta para mi, pero como digo, es una opinión muy personal y a pesar de eso le pongo 5 estrellas.
