### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High end PC build

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ For a used board it is like new quality
*by M***Y on 20 October 2025*

It works, no issues with the board, was missing some screws, not a big deal as I had spares, quality of board is like new.

### ⭐⭐ Poor quality control from ASUS
*by M***O on 14 June 2024*

It’s a great board but only if you can get one that’s working or actually new. These boards do not come with factory seal therefore you will not know if it’s actually new or not. Unless you know where to look, I had to return 4 times to get an either new board or fully working. You either have markings on the edges of the PCB, dirty cpu socket, damaged plastic cover, pci express lane that is faulty, dims that does not achieve 8000mhz+ (validated CPU and RAM that does 8000mhz). Thank god for amazons great customer service taking the hit fof Asus’s poor quality control. The white z790 apex was definitely superior boards compare to the encore
