ASUS ROG Strix Z390-E Gaming Motherboard LGA1151 (Intel 8th 9th Gen) ATX DDR4 DP HDMI M.2 USB 3.1 Gen2 802.11AC Wi-Fi

Had this thing for about 5-6 years now? No problems and it’s going strong! Don’t know much about computers a whole lot, not like an enthusiast but I know I needed one good enough to play games with. It’s pretty good, lots of usb ports. I’d say it’s budget friendly at the time and my budget was about $1100.

this is my third time to buy this motherboard because im always doing water cooling and i make a mistake and always burn them out all my fault no more water cooling. I bought another one why because its my favorite motherboard it does everything i need for a advance gaming compute also its quality and the RGB is awesome. I have 11 RGB fans and led lights on this thing and it does it all. For the money you're not going to find a better one with out paying a grand so i love it .

These are excellent motherboards, my 3rd one in 10 or so years. The only issue that I have is with this motherboard and there are 2.1) The user's manual is in Chinese. WHY? I live in the USA and I bought this in the USA but the manual is in Chinese.2) The included DVD, why a DVD I don't understand, but the DVD errors out on installing the drivers. I even tried my internal ASUS DVD burner and an external USB HP DVD drive and they both fail reading from the included DVD.ASUS provides and excellent in gaming motherboards in general except this time they fumbled a bit. Will this atop me from buying ASUS products in the future? NOA bit disconcerting is that upon registering on the ASUS website, this shows up as a Warranty Expired, why is that if I purchased this as brand new?

I haven't built my own PC for quite a few years but decided to do so again. This new board is amazing. There are a ton of detailed technical reviews on-line so I won't go into all of that here, but this board was the best value for the money that I found after hours of extensive research. I'm using the I7-9700K with some Overclock, 3200 DDR, and two Samsung 970 Storage NvMe's. I've also added a GigaByte 2070 Super. When I benchmark my PC it always achieves "UFO" status, and is in the top percentages, and I am not tuning it just for the high benchmarks. It hits this benchmark with extreme stability.The "Automatic OC" Bios setting of this motherboard is a fantastic capability. A few BIOS tweaks, and then using that setting and this board makes everything run at the extreme.It made my PC build a breeze.

One day my 8-year-old Asus Rampage IV Black Edition was having issues.. Unsure if it was the overclocked CPU, the MotherBoard, or RAM but I knew I was in the market for a new system. Spec'ed a new system with this board after careful consideration of the competition and Asus has never done me wrong. Fitted with an i9 9900k and 32gb of quality memory this board gives me the ability to run at 5ghz on air cooling (Noctua NH-D15) without issue and runs quite cool. I've not had the time to 'stretch its legs' on more overclocking but this CPU and Board combo just work for me and it's the purpose (code, encoding, gaming, work, etc) and I have no doubt it will last me a good long time.

Extremely well made mobo! They thought of everything. Well placed fan headers, nice rgb lighting, built in I/O shield is convienent but not necessary. OC my delidded I7 8700k to 5.0ghz with out a sweat. BIOS is well layed out and easy to navigate. Only minor complaint is the size of the I/O front shielding where the RGB is. In can make plugging in the CPU header hard to reach. However if you realize this as your installing you can avoid such a headache. Also comes with a small vmos fan to keep them cool under your awesome OC's you can do with this motherboard. Highly recommend and will be using one on my next build. Good job Asus. Well done.

Broken board. Started with bent power pins -Straightened no big deal used board. SATA ports - drives not registering - maybe power maybe connection. Replaced Sata cables with new. swapped known good drives. Could only get 3 of 6 to register on BIOS.For the price this should have been checked not just shoved into a repackaged box for Taiwan sale.

I don't game, nor do i do much video/photo editing anymore, but I got this because of all the prior Asus boards I've used. And wanted to make sure I wouldn't have to upgrade again for a long time (this replaces a 6 yr-old board that started to act up. Plenty of options in bios for overclocking, etc. 2 NVME m.2 sockets with optional heatsinks included. layout is good, manual is also good. Had not problems dropping this into the existing chassis, mounting a new CPU, monster heatsink, 32GB ram, etc. Since we're not gaming, I just went with the built VGA capability and everything is great.
