Used this motherboard for an Intel Core Ultra 7 build primarily for gaming with an ASUS 5080. Very pleased with it so far. Installation went smoothly. The quick start guide with numbered steps and its corresponding diagram on the front cover was very helpful as a visual aid to keep me from accidentally plugging something in the wrong slot. Fits well in Antec Flux Wood Mid-Tower E-ATX case. No issues with installation. Error code display was very helpful in diagnosing initial boot issues. Oddly, BIOS does not seem to detect the graphics card or give any GPU options, but the graphics card works just fine and was detected by Windows 11.Overall very happy with my purchase. The build has been complete for about a month and I have had no problems with it so far. It controls the Noctua air cooler and the fans that came with the Antec case just fine. Computer turns on normally and all ports appear to function properly, including ports on the GPU and the case.I would recommend using the built-in heat sinks for the SSDs. Don't buy an SSD with it's own heat sink because you'll either have to remove it (a pain) or leave the heat sink on the motherboard off. I'm pretty happy with the heat sink included with the motherboard, and you won't need a separate heat sink for an SSD. (You WILL need one for the CPU.)The motherboard is a bit pricey, but I specifically wanted an ASUS product for quality and longevity. My last build using an ASUS PRO motherboard with an ASUS GPU lasted for 10 years and only needed to be replaced due to components growing obsolete (it won't run Windows 11 or certain games I want to play). The only components I needed to replace on that build were the CMOS battery, mice and keyboards, and a monitor I broke in a feat of deep personal stupidity. I never had any problems with the ASUS components on my old build, and I expect the same longevity from my new build with this motherboard.So far, I am very pleased with the product and would recommend it for your Intel Core Ultra build. I was looking to use high quality components without necessarily using elite best of the best equipment that would have thrown the build out of my price range, and this fit comfortably within my budget, even if it is pricier compared to some other options. With computer components, a lot of times, you get what you pay for, and this is a high quality product.

Reliable, high performance motherboard as expected from Asus. At first, I was weary of making the upgrade from my 13900k and Asus ROG Maximus hero dark, due to everything I've read saying there's little or no gain (and sometimes decrease) in gaming performance from the core 9 ultra 285k. But since I decided to go with an all white theme for my gaming room, the Mobo was the last piece of the puzzle.Made the switch and I'm extremely happy. Aesthetically, Asus hit it out of the park with the all white PCB. Amazing attention to detail. AI features are plentiful, even if you can't find a use for them. Personally, I feel ai has been shoehorned into every aspect of computing just to justify all the money and r&d spent. Crazy that my 4 year old CPU outperforms this 600+ dollar unit.Tl;DrLooks very good - aesthetics10\10General performance - 10\10Power efficiency & temps - 6.5\10Gaming performance - 7.7\10Great construction, great use of Intels lackluster upgrades. Runs hot with ai oc enabled. Vrm should have dedicated fan and better heat sink

have no idea if it works i had to email asus customer service for a replacement! because the one i got was ALREADY OPENED!!! and im not going to take the chance.The Seal on the box: BROKENThe plastic bag the motherboard is in: OPENand there was the added stuff sitting on top of the board, looked like who ever opened it just through everything on topstop selling me opened products wtf is wrong with this company

Very easy to setup and work with. First time builder and it was a breeze with this motherboard.

I'm using this motherboard with a "Core Ultra 7 265k Series 2" (Seriously Intel, why this name?), and it runs with no issues so far. The motherboard will indicate to you if your ram is not inserted in the right configuration. The Manual it came with doesn't have much documentation unfortunately. Get it from the motherboard's support website.More importantly, there is a bug on the first release BIOS of this motherboard that conflicts with the graphics card and iGPU and has problems with some high capacity RAM kits. You can get the latest BIOS version from Asus' website.

Just as described. specailly all the m.2 slots.

The xmp didn't work stable with my memory, but i'm not too concerned at this point as it is first release. This is my first new MB in the last 4 years and probably my first ASUS MB ever. I find the bios settings way overwhelming but considering I'm not really doing anything extra, it is fine. I'm using gen 5 nvme and seems to be working good.

Primera vez que compro una placa madre Asus en color blanco, simplemente me encanto los detalles las luces todo en general, se nota la calidad.Espero que las actualizaciones de la bios mejoren el rendimiento del procesador.
