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.

Great features so many it almost seems overwhelming, but they are nice. Why did you pick this product vs others?:Usb connectivity through the roof. Performance:Best of the best

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

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

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

Motherboard is fast. Was easy to set up.

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.

Asus Strix rog with intel 285k and corsair 8000 memory very stable.
