ASUS Prime Z890M-PLUS WiFi Z890 LGA 1851 mATX Motherboard, Intel® Core™ Ultra Series 2 Ready, Advanced AI PC-Ready

It works great, using it with the Ultra 7 265k. The only complaint I have is drivers are a bit of a pain if trying to install them the old school way of downloading and installing manually but if you let it run the automatic installer it will find them for you. I found some of the drivers weren't even available for download on the Asus website but the installer did find them. Sometimes I feel these companies are trying to over-simplify things a bit too much. I was wondering about the reliability of the Realtek 2.5gbe LAN but have not experienced any issues with that. It is a bit of a headache to get setup and running but once you do it's fine. Do not pay attention to the other reviewer for the missing screws, new motherboards do not even come with them anyways.... you either reuse your old screws or they come included with the case itself. The only screws that might be included would be whatever is needed for securing the m.2 drives but certainly none that would mount it to the case.

Updates 6 months in - no issues to report, still runs top speed and no issues from this MB from Asus. I've always had good product service life from their motherboards and laptops. Highly recommend. Worked perfectly out of the box, even for a completely new build with all new components there was no issues starting up first time. Basic drivers carried it through updates at MyAsus.com quickly. I love that this mATX size will still allow all PCIe lanes to be at 5.0 with the Intel Core Ultra architecture. Perfect for my local AI experimenting and as well as gaming with the 5090 GPU.

... I bought last week... new PC build. Board was DOA. Spent an hour with tech support - complete waste of time, and would not connect me to a manager/supervisor. Returned and getting an MSI tonight.

this board is for experienced DIYer, it has no error indicator LED, nor speaker pin, all depend on your experiences, nearly all errors result black screen. old pcie 3 display card no longer works on it(or maybe my old pcie 3 display card is bad? who knows)

Had zero issues and basically had Windows up and running after a Bios update within an hour of getting the delivery. The amount of stuff you get here for the price is crazy. Feels so good not paying the ITX tax for a change. Been using the board with 6000MHZ CL30 RAM, will update the review once I get my CUDIMM 8200MHZ if I encounter any issues. Wifi signal went from getting ~400Mbps with my old AMD5 board to 800 with this one, computer is in the exact same location, same router, same everything. Note that they are using some BS propietery antenna connectors that is a PITA to get if you break it. Box is pretty empty, which is understandable considering the price and amount of features.
