    STAY AWAY!!! Very problematic board. Useless ASUS support.
    2 Stars
    STAY AWAY!!! Very problematic board. Useless ASUS support.
    Really! Stay away! It looks good on paper, but the implementation of certain features and even basics like SATA is horrible. I blame this on the AMD X370 chipset more than what ASUS did, but their support is useless, so if really want the same platform (think twice!), get it from a different vendor.So, initially I thought this would be a great platform, but soon I regretted the purchase. The CPU has the potential (8 cores, 16 threads) for high end systems, but the accompanying chipset has so many issues (I believe that issues come from poorly designed chipset) and ASUS support hasn't done anything in months to resolve the issues. I'd hoped that they would reach out to AMD, present the issues and work with them to address the problems. I had hoped that AMD would fix the chipset and ASUS would have another version of the motherboard that they would give me as a replacement under warranty. Nothing like this has happened. Mostly canned responses to the cases I've opened with ASUS support that help nothing and only indicate that they have zero understanding of what the issues are. For example one response to the RAID controller issue (more on this later) was "For RAID install IRST driver". IRST driver? Really? IRST is Intel Rapid Storage Technology and this is AMD and not Intel based board. There is no Intel chipset on this motherboard that IRST driver is needed for. That's how lousy ASUS support is. They have no technical understanding whatsoever, so they read from some script and give canned (and mostly completely irrelevant) responses.So, let's hear about the issues. First the aforementioned RAID issue. The RAID implementation is horrible in the chipset. There is no option in the BIOS to assign only certain SATA ports to the RAID controller and leave others in AHCI mode. It's either all ports in AHCI mode or all ports in RAID mode. So even if a drive is not part of a RAID array, but hanging off the RAID controller (shown as legacy drives in RAID setup), it's somewhat shielded from the OS by the RAID driver. I have 2 spinning disks in RAID0 array, so all remaining drives that are not part of any RAID array still have to go through the RAID controller. For example Samsung Magician, which is an application to control Samsung SSD drives, can't properly communicate with one of the SATA drives (Samsung 850 EVO) that is not part of any array due to this ridiculous requirement.Worse, the optical drives are also hanging off the RAID controller and due to a bug in the RAID controller firmware I can't boot in non-UEFI (legacy) mode to install Windows on MBR partitioned disk. When I switch SATA mode to AHCI (and lose the RAID array then) there is no such issue. Both, legacy and UEFI boot modes work. This is an obvious problem with the RAID controller (firmware issue), but ASUS support instead of reaching out to AMD to have the firmware fixed, sent me among other tips the one to install IRST driver. Shame on you ASUS support!Then there is USB issue, or actually 2 different issues with USB implementation. The first one I've noticed was that when I was running a daily backup to USB 3.0 drive that was connected to USB 3.0 port on the motherboard, almost every time ALL (yes all, USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports) were disappearing from the OS. At that time the backup was obviously failing, but also I was losing control of the system as my keyboard and mouse are USB ones connected to USB 2.0 ports. Using remote control software I was able to get on the system and confirm in the Device Manager that Windows didn't see any USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 ports anymore. And that was pretty much a daily event. The only recovery was to reboot the system.Also, when I was imaging my system partition to a different USB 3.0 drive I was getting tons of errors related to file system or disk operation in the event log. The ports for some reason were not disappearing from the system, but the images were failing MD5 checksum making them completely unusable. So, 2 different operations (user data backup and full partition imaging) to 2 different external USB 3.0 drives, however both connected to USB 3.0 ports on the motherboard were failing. That couldn't be a problem with drives or their cables as ASUS support has suggested. Especially that both of them were working fine connected to my old system. So, I took out a Fresco Logic chipset based USB 3.0 controller from my old system and installed on the new motherboard. Then I moved the USB 3.0 drives from the onboard USB ports and plugged them in to the ports on that controller. Voila! Problem solved. No more disappearing USB ports, no more failed backups, no more errors, no more failed MD5 checksums. However ASUS support can't grasp the idea that this was a PROOF that the problem wasn't with the external drives, but with the USB implementation in the AMD chipset. They did nothing. Well, they asked me to contact AMD. Excuse me?But wait, this is not all that's wrong with USB implementation. In addition to issues with USB 3.0 ports there is something wrong with USB 2.0 ports. I couldn't use an old multifunction printer that I have for either printing or scanning with USB connection. Just seconds after either operation started the system was losing connection to the printer. And the memory card reader in the printer was disappearing and reappearing in the system every 2 to 3 seconds constantly. I had to disable it in the Device Manager. Again, all of those problems went away after moving the printer connection from USB 2.0 port on the motherboard to USB 3.0 port on Fresco Logic based controller.And if somebody thinks that this could be a problem with just individual motherboard sample I have a spoiler. Before I found a workaround with the Fresco Logic based USB controller I had the same though, so I returned the first board I've bought to Amazon within 3 weeks or so and I've got another one. The second one (for which I'm wring this long overdue review) has the built in Wi-Fi, but the first one didn't have this option. Guess what? BOTH have the same issues, so it's not an individual sample that was bad.To summarize, the terrible design of RAID support and the serious issues with USB implementation disqualify this motherboard. I'd hoped that I'd have a high end system on the cheap. Well, you've got what you've paid for. How true.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Works great, don't get why it doesn't have a better rating.
    Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2019
    Looked great and was easy to work on. I've had mine for over a year. The wifi works well when the ethernet cable doesn't work. I don't have the router in my room and sometimes people unplug the ethernet that's running through the house and the wifi kicks in. I don't get the 450mb/s I do with ethernet, but the wifi is fast enough for simple web browsing. It's super easy to overclock on it as well even for a beginner like me. It has oc profiles that simplify everything or you can go at it manually. I personally just chose the gamer profile which OC'd my Ryzen 7 1800x to 3.85. I couldn't get a stable 4.0 regardless of me trying it manually or using the profile, but I've heard this happens sometimes so I let it go. It works fine and has great performance. Looks good along with my sli 1080ti's. Overall great motherboard and great experience, the board deserves a better rating than what it has on here.
