Motherboard

Good7/10Premium

Asus makes some of the best-featured boards, but its reputation took hits from how it handled the 2023 AM5 SoC-voltage burnouts and from 2024 reports of poor RMA treatment. The hardware is excellent; the premium and support record are the trade-offs.

Good at

  • Most polished BIOS and richest feature sets
  • ROG and ProArt boards lead on build and extras
  • Strong memory overclocking support

Weak at

  • Priced above rivals at most tiers
  • Criticised for 2023 AM5 SoC-voltage burnouts handling
  • 2024 reports of unfair RMA repair quotes
  • Armoury Crate software is bloated; had security flaws
