I decided to dabble in AL and picked up an open box for a good price and it arrived almost looking brand new with all accessories. Installation was straight forward and easy and the Strix is a good trade off of features and a robust build. Unless you're pushing really high OC, the VRM design is more than enough. I had also picked up an open box 265k elsewhere which was a poor sample that only would go to ~8400 on memory no matter what on G2. I picked up another that was much better. Testing on the Asus ROG STRIX Z890 (RS), the RS was able to comfortably hit 9066 on G4 and pass TM5, WMD, OCCT which is what it is rated so that was good. On G2 (CPU dependent), I was able to hit 8933 1.4/1.35 passing the same tests on a set of Crucial Vengeance 9200 sticks but a 140mm fan was needed to keep temps in check on the memory sticks themselves. Performance wise, the board has excellent stability with good performance. Asus is known for having one of the better BIOS with frequent releases, so compatibility is always there. I picked up a 270k eventually and a quick flash, CPU swap and I was up and running ASAP. Ironically, I picked up the APEX version open box of this board after the Strix expecting more, but the one I received couldn't do more than 8600 on memory so I returned it and kept the Strix.

Buy the open box options. Great Deal for 170 dollars. Do your research and find the solution to the drivers. Incredible value from the best brand since I started using it back in 2007 with a rampage gene 3 or something like that running an overpriced 980x CPU. Asus is the best. They Go all out for us to have amazing products. Prices reflect the premium brand and reliability. I wish they were a little better but if you want the best, Asus is on top of the mountain.

This motherboard was on a good sale when I bought it, and the price to performance does not disappoint. It has more than enough ports that I need and the best audio implementation on any motherboard in this price range. I also am really liking the whole white aesthetic of this motherboard as well!
