    Pros: The PC posted on the first try. No memory issues on my end. 4 NVMe slots. Good layout of ports. I had no issues with the actual computer operation. Cons: Looks cheap in person, IMO. Bios had to be updated, not a huge deal, but what the heck? Didn’t they make motherboards for like 20 years? How can they release a product that doesn’t see your storage drives out of the box? Rushed. I also didn’t like the BIOS look and layout. RGB is terrible all around. LEDs on the right side of the…

    Pros: -Great connections and features like having ample board fan connectors, both ARGB and RGB headers, easy to setup – Solid board feel – the best I have owned in years -Aorus branding looks pretty cool Cons: -Terrible BIOS -I installed Win11 and cannot get the Intel RAID on 12th gen installed so no RAID Drives (Intel problem I guess) – Poor support -Memory modules not going beyond 2300 speed – I have 3600. Overall Review: – A lot of issues out of the gate but that is what I get for 12th…

    Pros: – works after all the hassle… Cons: – did not boot out of box. Need to flash BIOS to F6a and clear CMOS multiple times to make it post – no debug LED Overall Review: – not newbie friendly

    Overall Review: Great motherboard for the price. As long as you update the bios this motherboard works perfectly as advertised.

    Overall Review: Even on the lastest BIOS, this motherboard can’t run any of the XMP profiles on my Patriot Viper Samsung B-Die kits which are set at 3866 and 4000 mhz. I am forced to lower the frequency of my RAM all the way to 3200 just to get the motherboard to post. I would not recommend this motherboard.

  6. Matthew M.

    Pros: -Performs well for out of the box configurations -4 M.2 SLOTS!!! -Audio solution is considerable -Memory compatibility is fairly good on F6 Bios. Cons: -The included RGB seems fairly cheap, no diffusion on the strip. -Original bios F4 has AWFUL RAM compatibility, REQUIRES a bios update out of the box for optimal setups. Overall Review: I’d say this is an excellent choice for someone who wants to purchase a solid board as far as the hardware goes while not going to hard on the…

  7. Matthew W.

    Pros: Lots of m2 slots and fan headers. Lots of other connections Cons: Took me a while to get it to post with my memory thats on qvl. I had to install one stick in a1 and set xmp in bios then put the other stick right next to it in b1 slot. Wont post with mem in a2 and b2 slot like it recommended in manual. Updated bios to f6 and some issues went away. I thought I had a dead board or cpu when it wouldnt post. Overall Review: Other than the cons listed above its a decent board and I have it…

    Pros: Robust BIOS, amazing board layout really clean and easy to work with, all the m.2 slots you’ll ever want or need, lots of fan and RGB headers, Cons: Early adopter woes. Out of the box, the board came with the F3 BIOS which did not want to work with my RAM, especially trying to run XMP. After upgrading to F6 things vastly improved, but that’s kind of the price you pay to jump on early. Lots of single use plastic here. Every m.2 screw comes in its own individual bag. Seems like a waste….
