ASUS H770 ATX Motherboard with PCIe 5.0, ThunderboltTM Support

My aging game system that I built over 20 years ago was brutally slow. I don't use the PC for gaming and have not for over a decade, having switched to a Playstation 3 on my son-in-law's recommendation just after I built the PC. I've upgraded to a PS4 then PS5 over the years since. But I've used the PC as a programming workstation, SQL Server & webserver for years. Earlier this year I decided to do a motherboard / cpu / memory upgrade on the PC, basically starting from scratch. I'd already upgraded the case, power supply & memory over the years but the tech on my motherboard and cpu was old - really old. This motherboard, a 12th gen i7 & 16 gigs of new memory and everything is much more responsive. Zero log jams on either server running on the same machine. The install for this motherboard was the simplest build I've ever done. Everything basically snapped together & was up and running without any further hassle than a simple bios upgrade. I installed it 4 months ago and could not be happier.

Decent board, should be a screamer when it goes together. As usual Amazon will help.

I've had problems with ASUS MBs in the past but this one has been solid so far, worth the risk for the cheaper board.

Got this motherboard to replace an older 3rd generation motherboard in a computer I use for music recording. Didn't realize at the time that it was Windows 11 compatible so I was able to upgrade from Windows 10. Works well so far. IMHO, Asus makes the best motherboards.

I love it.Multiple Sata PortsMultiple M.2 SlotsExpansion support for added featureslots of case fan headers.Supports for RGB.list goes on.. except,The IO Shield is awful.I spent 25 minutes bending the little sharp edges so my motherboard can lay flush with my case and against the IO. Usually they’re padded but for some reason, this isn’t.Other than that, perfecto.

Pretty basicotherboard, can't complain, just rebuilt my girlfriend's PC with it and everything went smoothly. Would purchase again.

Been up/ running since Dec '23. Using NVMe, HDMI, all USB, lan...etc pretty much all ports/ output utilized. So far so good 👍🏽

The VRM cooling on this board is ABYSMAL, you will want to look elsewhere for peak performance. I bought this specifically because I did not feel that paying more than $180 for a motherboard is reasonable.Edit: I returned the board and purchased an MSI Z790 board that has real VRM cooling. Only get this board if you have no intentions of running your CPU above say, 200 watts at absolute most.
