ASUS AI OverclockingASUS AI Overclocking is an intelligent utility that helps you get the most out of your build by automatically profiling your CPU and cooling system to predict optimal voltage and frequency settings. Accessible via the AI Suite software in Windows or directly through the UEFI, the intuitive AI Overclocking user interface enables usersof all levels. A range of customizable settings are available for seasoned overclockers, and an auto-tuning option is available for beginners. |
AI CoolingASUS AI Cooling function will automatically manage and control motherboard-connected fans to ensure optimal settings based on current system load and temperature.
|
TWO-WAY AI NOISE CANCELATIONThis utility leverages a massive deep-learning database to reduce background noise from the microphone and incoming audio, while preserving vocals at the same time. This removes distracting keyboard clatter, mouse clicks and other ambient noises so you can hear and be heard with crystal clarity while gaming or in calls. |

Overall a great motherboard and great for gaming. I use an NVIDIA RTX 3700 OC V2 Asus TUF graphics card this can play the latest games on high settings. Plenty of options for storage with 3 total nvme slots. Put 3200 DDR4 memory, a 11th gen intel cpu and use nvme for your storage and you will not be disappointed. Blazing fast, I boot up from cold start in about 11 seconds. I recommending adding a wifi 6E/bluetooth card, this way you can easily connect to fast wifi and use bluetooth devices/accessories.
Pros:
-Supports overclocking
-DD4 3200 for Memory
-Supports 11th gen intel CPU
-Supports all the latest graphics cards, Nvidia RTX 30 series, Nvidia RTX 40 series, Radeon RX 6000+ series
-Lots of options for storage NVME, SATA, I recommend NVME or SSD if you want fast boot times and fast game loading times
-Windows 11 supported
-PCIE 4.0
-ATX size
Cons:
-Had one issue with waking up from sleep mode but because I use KVM to share keyboard and mouse between computers, I turned off sleep mode

The motherboard itself has a nice layout. With all of my peripherals and cables attached, nothing feels overly crowded. I really like the fact that the headers for the majority of attachments are placed on the perimeter of the board. Yes, a few are in the middle, but with a board this size with as many connections as it provides, that is unavoidable.
The back panel is laid out very nicely. I use a lot of peripherals (see attached images). My computer case is an In-Win D-Frame. The wires stick out at an odd angle because the back panel of the motherboard faces upward (see attached images). Since the layout of the back panel is laid out nicely, directing the wires and cables around the chassis proves no problem.
Some additional things I like about this board:
- USB-C connections. Many of my devices are only USB-C, so nice touch
- Comes with 2 heatsinks for M.2 drives (I have 2 Samsung 970 EVO Plus)
- Has three 3-pin aRGB headers on the perimeter of the board, not in the middle
- Plenty of fan headers (though, I use an iCue Commander Pro)
- No LAN issues (Ubiquiti equipment and CAT6a cabling in my home) and high transfer rates
- Overclocking the CPU (i7-10700k) was flawless, no issues (see attached image from CPU-Z)
I would have liked to see a M.2-e slot on this board. This would have allowed the installation of a M.2 WiFi card. I knew this board did not possess one, so this is not a big deal and resulted in no lost stars for the rating. Yet, the Prime Z590M-Plus comes with one, so putting a M.2-e slot on the Prime Z590-A should not have been difficult.
One issue that frustrated me is overclocking my RAM. In the beginning, I decided to use two Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB DDR4 4000 (PC4-3200) C16 1.35V modules. Originally, I installed them in slots 1 and 3, resulting in no overclock. I even attempted manually adjusting timings and voltages in the BIOS, resulting in no overclock. Granted, this RAM is not on the qualified vendor list, but similar types from Corsair are. I bought two other types of Corsair RAM on the qualified vendor list, still resulting in no overclock.
I finally placed the RAM (the original ones I purchased) in the motherboard memory slots 2 and 4. Like magic, overclocking finally was working. I am not sure if this is intentional for this board or a defect, but others should be aware of this. I returned the slower RAM and kept the original, faster pair. This experience for me resulted in a reduction of 1 star.
Despite that, overclocking of the RAM and CPU have been stable for over a month. I have run several stress tests during that time in order to improve the CPU overclocking. This has resulted in a slight bump. Right now, the CPU consistently hovers around 4.9 Ghz, though this may be more of a reflection of the CPU cooler I am using rather than the combination of hardware. If I had better cooling, I might be able to push that frequency a wee-bit higher.
Overall, I am satisfied with this motherboard. I love gaming with 144Hz refresh rates at 1080p and this machine performs well. I also do a lot of video editing (Adobe Premier Pro) for work and performance is also excellent.

Otra cosa es que el disipador del panel trasero es tan grande que no cabe un ventilador de enfriamiento liquido en el mismo case sin pegarle.. es demasiado estorboso, necesitas un full tower mas largo de lo normal.
Y por si fuera poco , si usas tus pci express hay 2 de las que deshabilitan tus SATA.. otra total guarrada por lo cual te quedas con solo 4 sata.. chafisima.. solo la compre por el conector thunderbolt 4 para conectar la tarjeta que prende el monitor Lg Ultrafine.. pero la vdd recomiendo por mucho más una mother con ryzen y el conector thunderbolt 3, la ryzen hasta con disipador normal corre bien, se puede calentar y no hace feo.. y carisimo el procesador 11va generacion por si quieres usar todo.. no vale la pena!

First, two of the four memory slots do not work. Utilizing them will cause the system to not boot at all with errors showing on the motherboard. You have to place 2 sticks contrary to what the manual recommends in order to even boot the system. You won't be able to use 4 sticks of RAM in this board. After looking up online, it seems this is a VERY common defect that MANY other users have experienced.
Second, the onboard ethernet adapter requires drivers, and the drivers included, along with the drivers from ASUS web site will not install. All of them either say that no ethernet adapter can be found. Or they say that it is not a compatible version of Windows, even though the driver is labeled as Windows 10 x64 and the system is running Windows 10 x64.
In addition, there are many other issues with all of the other drivers required for this motherboard.
This is a complete waste of time. Do not buy this. You've been warned.


Plenty of RGB and fan headers plus the beautiful aesthetic of the design were enough to silence the "maybe should have gone ROG" nagging voice.
