★★★★★I'm impressed with this MOBO
I'm impressed with this MOBO super easy setup use the ASUS driverHub guarantees all drivers installed the video popper is not the greatest but ok. purchased it as a return for a low price decent mid range MOBO it was missing all the accessories it was just the board but I don't need any of that stuff.

★★★★★ASUS motherboard...
Got this for my new computer. I've been using ASUS motherboards for about 30 years now in my home built computers. One did not boot right up but it was my mistake - after I fixed my mistake, booted right up as did this one.

★★★★★A solid option, but if you're familiar with ASUS you already know that.
Got this for a PC dedicated to operating visuals, streaming and recording both at a music festival. It's ridiculously easy to set up, had plenty of connections, and runs like a champ.

★★★★★Terrible Product Quality
As a Software Developer with 30 years of experience building PCs/servers from the glory days of ABIT and DFI to modern platforms...I can say without hesitation: this is one of the worst motherboard experiences I’ve had in my career. The ASUS TUF Z890-Plus is simply unrelible trash. Board #1: Two Dead DIMM Slots Right out of the box, 50% of the memory channels were non-functional. Tried every combination of QVL-approved DDR5, reseated, reset CMOS, swapped CPUs... nothing. (This isn’t exotic memory, either...just standard DDR5-6000 using Hynix A-die with onboard PMICs. Well within spec. Clearly either the memory routing, signal integrity, or channel initialization code is busted.) Board #2: BIOS Update Bricked It Okay, got a replacement. It POSTed once. Then I ran a BIOS update ... necessary, because like many ASUS boards, the default firmware can’t recognize RAM properly or apply XMP/EXPO profiles. The update hung mid-flash during the Intel ME firmware block. Now it's a paperweight. (Why did it hang? Unknown) BIOS Flashback? More Like BIOS Gaslight ASUS advertises a fail-safe BIOS Flashback feature. Spoiler: it doesn’t work. I tried: FAT32-formatted USB 2.0 sticks (4GB, 8GB, 16GB) Proper .CAP file naming Correct port No peripherals Exact button press timing Reddit Mental Gymastics (many people offer suggestions, but why should I have to hunt down a SPECIFIC size for a thumb drive? This is the year 2025, and USB 2.0 has been around Zero response. No LED blink, no activity. Nothing. (And yes, the PSU was delivering standby power correctly..checked with multimeter. The EC isn’t initializing flashback mode. Broken out of the gate.) Here’s the insult to injury: they removed the Q-code display. No more hexadecimal POST codes to tell you where the boot fails. Instead, you get three colored lights... red, yellow, and white...like you're assembling IKEA furniture, not building a modern PC. (In 1999, my ABIT BE6 had better diagnostics.) ASUS Support = Useless You’d think support would help. Nope. I got canned responses from a rep who clearly doesn’t even understand what "POST" means. They linked articles referencing tools made for Z490 chipsets. No escalation path. No real tech. Just corporate copy-paste. FWIW.. BIOS Flashback is a closed, proprietary ASUS implementation, and nobody outside of ASUS actually knows how it works. It relies on the embedded controller (EC) or secondary microcontroller to initialize a USB controller and write to the BIOS ROM ... without CPU, RAM, or GPU present. (Which is impressive when it works… but it often doesn’t.) Because this feature is completely undocumented and locked down, We can’t validate the expected USB power draw or signaling sequence, We can’t see how the EC validates the .CAP file internally, We don’t know the actual formatting requirements (is it FAT32 MBR with 512B sector alignment? Does it need specific VID/PID on the USB controller? Who knows?) We have no way to initiate or monitor EC activity without onboard debug headers And because ASUS won’t release any technical specs, the community is left to reverse-engineer everything through Reddit posts and ancient forum threads. That’s not a “feature”.. that’s a gamble! (Compare that to open-source BIOS recovery efforts on platforms like coreboot or even AMD’s AGESA flash methods, which at least have some community insight.) What’s worse: some ASUS BIOS revisions have historically broken Flashback altogether, depending on how the EC firmware handles file validation or fails at low-level USB init. So even if you follow every single step perfectly, the feature may just be nonfunctional on your particular board revision or firmware version. How would you ever know? You wouldn't... because ASUS doesn’t tell anyone anything. Their solution is to just 'send you another board' if it's broken.

★★★★★Bought two of them
As advertised. 1st board build worked so well i bought a second one
