ASRock Intel Core Ultra Z890 Steel Legend WiFi 7 ATX LGA1851RL-ILM Motherboard DDR5 M.2 PCle 5.0 ARGB SATA3 6.0 Gb/s Thunder...

It lite right up with no fails. Gives you everyting the $500 Motherboards have at half the cost. I've already own another Asrock Z90 from 8 years ago and it's still running strong. I'm upgrading only because support on Win 10 is ending soon. I'll continue to use it as a server. Only one slight downside, theres no manual included so you'll have to get one online. I got the White Steel Legend with WiFi and got the White Crucial Pro 32 GB set 4x16 (64 GB Total) with the Ultra 7 CPU. The System runs great so far after a week. You'll need to download the LAN drivers before you install windows if you want to use Microsoft account to sign in. All in all, so far so good.

Getting ready to have to return this. Only b1 and b2 lanes were working. Would not run dual channel. Thought it was the ram itself or the cpu. After thorough testing, this was found to not be the case. Cpu passed diagnostic tests on the mobo and ran fine on another z890 msi board. I did return the ram I originally bought even after each stick pass memory diagnostic and the both pair of ram were specifically named on the QVL for mobo. Did everything under the sun in the bios too. Flashed the new beta bios and the one before, neither fixed the problem. Cmos was reset as well. Bummed out because I liked this look of this board and this was for my daughters build. I swear I went through this with a 13th gen on an asrock board before. Update: Went for replacement, just had an email stating there is a delay in inventory and i had to approve for shipping delay that appears indefinitely. Another unfortunate event now that i will have a PC with no MOBO. This was me trying to give the board a chance because of specs and looks. Please ASrock do better QA tests on your boards!

Even worse than the Gigacrap I bought at first that was DOA, this board *kind of* worked which made it 100x harder to figure out what the problem was. Week one: everything is working great. A welcome change from the Gigabyte that went down in flames. Week two: Wait, what? Why don't any of my headphones connect? Go into device manager and the bluetooth straight up doesn't exist. Repeated attempts to force the drivers in and it never shows up. I finally give up and steal my daughter's BT dongle. Week three: Oh, new drivers for my 5080. I'll just go ahead and install them and reboot. PC refuses to reboot and reverts to basic settings. Reapply the proper settings for my 265k and memory and it's all great.......until I need to reboot again. Order a new motherboard and magically everything is fine. /sigh. Let's hope the Steel Legend does better than this or I'm going back to MSI, even though they're stupidly overpriced.

Points off for not having a mounting bracket for the CPU heat sink. That was annoying as hell. Works alright otherwise.
