I have used PC parts from most of the major manufactures. Some I have found to have equal build quality, but lacking in some other aspect. Normally horrible customer support or discontinuing product and not providing updated bios or drivers after that point.I have another Asus motherboard that runs my containerized applications. It's an ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero X570. Yes Asus makes workstation motherboards, but this was repurposed when I bout this new ASUS ROG Strix X870E-E Gaming WiFi board. I've been using it for about four months now and have had no issues*. No hardware comparability issues, and the default bios fan curves work great for me for a good balance of cooling and a low db noise level.The one complaint I have with every manufacture is their custom software. It would be a much better world if they all worked together to have a single dashboard for monitoring your system and keeping your drivers up to date. It would be even better if that project were fully open sourced. By that I mean the dashboard, not the drivers as many of those come from specific chip-set manufactures. That said the new Armoury-Crate dashboard application is far better than the one one that was originally available when I bought my older ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero X570. It's this type of continual improvement and listening to the community that in my opinion pushes Asus in front of the competition.While I do buy from Asus' ROG gaming line, I do so because I need the performance their products in this line deliver. I primarily work in Blender3D and Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve Studio. With this new ASUS ROG Strix X870E-E Gaming WiFi board works great for that in Windows, I often do a god bit of my work in Linux. That is what the asterisk above comes in. This is not a negative on Asus, but rather the chip-set manufactures in that there are many things that do not work in Linux at this moment. For the most part Asus can only influence the manufactures to work with the Linux community, and at the same time they cannot only use parts that are Linux compatible because that would mean not using the newest and or best components available.As for Asus' support, it's good. Everything could always be improved, but in the few interactions I've I did not get someone asking me for information that I had already provided in my original request. This is an issue I've had with many other companies and I hope Asus continues with good support and taking feedback from the community and content providers like Linuxx Tech Tips, GamerNexus, Roman (der8auer) Hartung.If you are looking for a new motherboard, go to Asus' website and use their comparison tools. This may not be the right board for you, but they certainly have one that is. Don't hesitate to contact their support to ask question. The biggest reason people complain about a company instead of a specific product is they did not do enough research and they did not reach out to the manufacture for advice. If that manufacture doesn't want to help you then move on. So far Asus has been helpful, even when they have had to tell me that my question, usually Linux related, isn't something they can answer and that I'm better getting an accurate answer from that community.

First I must say this motherboard makes life easy. Compared to the gigabyte motherboard that consider mid price was a pain for the year I had it. The dongle is cool use. I can turn the volume and focus on the application that is open. For example I have vc on discord and game open, doom, fortnite I can lower the volume of the game and not lose volume from discord while chatting with friends. Also the added bonus the power button turns on your pc don’t have to reach to the actual pc anymore. As well as headphone input. I got tired of having my headphone connected to my elgato mic. Never needing to mess with settings when elgato go nuts. The comments people made here about screws people talk about being tough around the ssd m.2 I had zero issue. Not sure what people talking about. Not sure if it was bad luck on them. As well as booting I had zero issues. Compared the gigabyte motherboard which was a pain since building this board gave me no issues. First try boot. Even if something went wrong there’s buttons I can use to reset. I don’t have to poke areas like I’m trying to jumpstart a car. It runs smoothly. I didn’t need to buy windows again but that may be I bought it with more than one use. Or windows fix stuff but all I know I didn’t have to install windows when I replace the motherboard. Wifi I can’t say much on since I prefer to have my pc direct connect to router but since everything been going great I imagine a wifi 7 has to be good too. Just long as your internet is good too. Don’t let the negative reviews stop you from thinking of purchasing this because it does everything like it says and my cpu actually been running cooler too

I am thoroughly impressed with this motherboard. It has performed flawlessly without any issues. Initially, I faced some difficulty setting up the wifi and bluetooth, but once I connected the white fin accessory, everything worked perfectly. The smart AI overclocking feature is exceptional, allowing me to achieve maximum RAM speeds effortlessly. Despite being typically critical of tech products, I must admit that this board is exceptional. The build quality is top-notch, and the white aesthetics add a stylish touch to my black-themed setup. All ports functioned correctly, and my gaming experience was smooth and outstanding. I highly recommend this board for anyone building a PC; it's definitely worth the investment, especially considering the price point. ASUS and ROG have once again delivered a stellar product that exceeds expectations. I would definitely purchase this motherboard again without hesitation.
