Review: Absolutely Amazing!! HUGE deal when Buying Used - Cut the cost in half buying through desertcart's Used option. Inside a generic brown box, it was carefully and safely packaged for shipping. It arrived in two days! The board works flawless with all of the features that I was looking for and expected at half of the price if buying it new. There are a lot of people that ship items back without ever even using them, and I highly recommend this option and this motherboard. If someone were to choose to buy this at it's current new price, this model is still a great choice. I'm just not sure for the full price that I personally would have went this route, because other models with the same options are available. It is a fantastic board, looks great with it's sleek all black military tough vibes going on. It has a very subtle RGB lighting effect on the top right corner. The setup is very simple and easy, but I've been putting computer builds together for over 25 years. Also my Lian Li Dynamic XL RGB case I've installed this board into is quite massive and would make almost any build super easy to assemble. So the ease of assembly really depends on not just skill but the case it is being installed in as well. This is a full sized board, and not a small mATX. My experience with the bios of this board and all of the features are as expected. I've definitely favored Asus for years now. This board has had no issues with my 13600k processor, or my two sticks of DDR5 6000 memory. I've easily enabled the xmp memory profile, and overclocking features to test and they all work as they should with my 13600k P-Cores hit an astonishing 5.7Ghz. After the test I've set the board back to it's default settings. Then adjusted the thermal limit and CPU voltage, setting limits, as well as making other various adjustments to ensure a very long lifespan. It is not required, but my preference. I very highly recommend this board, and am really glad that I chose to buy it used in good condition through desertcart. While I can definitely understand that this decision on such an important component for a computer seems like a very high risk, for me it was definitely worth it, costing me only half when comparing the price of new. Overall I'm left with no regrets and big savings on a high quality, top shelf, stellar product. Review: Great motherboard ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Great motherboard with solid build quality.

(I'm not very educated on computers.)** A: Yes, you will need a heatsink on any CPU that you ever install. A lot of them already come with a stock heatsink and some don't. The ones that don't tend to be higher-end, this is because on high-end CPUs an aftermarket, more potent heatsink is needed. A lot of people also water cool high-efficiency CPUs. (Tend to be quieter as well) My recommendation would be to see what kind of build you want to do and go from there. But 100% sure you will need a heatsink on top of your CPU to cool it down, so start by looking at what CPU is compatible with this motherboard and if it comes with a heatsink; If it doesn't, search for a heatsink that is compatible with this motherboard and your build. Some will not fit on your motherboard! Hope this answer helped you, if you have any other questions don't hesitate in reaching out! You can also Google search "computer system compatibility" and the first links should help you figure out your system compatibility. Best, CortesGaming LLC **Q: will this motherboard work with Intel Core i9-10900 Desktop Processor 10** A: This motherboard is a 12th gen board so no it will not work with i9-10900 **Q: Can this mother board accept 4 sticks of ram?** A: Yes, the TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI motherboard can accept 4 sticks of DDR5 RAM **Q: Is pcie5 downward compatible with pcie4** A: Yes, it has settings all the backwards. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Amazing!!
