Excellent built quality for the ASUS motherboard. First time boot trouble as I have not attached the liquid cooler and used only an air fan before actually fixed into the computer case. Only figured out that the sytem shuts down due to CPU over temperature and took some remedial actions, all the rest are getting back to normal. Installation for RAM, SSD, Display Card are all easy. ASUS's software takes care of everything regarding driver installation. Ran a 100%CPU test for some 30 minutes, not trouble at all.

TL/DR : Pretty board , let PC sit overnight in failed POST mode after enabling EXPO to let BIOS learn RAM timing. If you're looking at this board , you've probably learned all the quirks about the X870E chipset and PCIe5 lanes bifurcation / sharing with NVME slots , so I won't rehash that. My main reason(s) for the review are twofold: 1) The build quality is awesome , the materials and aesthetics are (subjectively) topnotch. I'm not an RGB-vomit fan , but the murdered out black look is so... dead. So, it's nice to have a minimalistic look with a trace of elegance. Building on it was straightforward. I had no fitment issues with a 2280 form factor NVME in the M 2_1 slot (w/ heatsink) interfering with an ASUS TUF gaming RTX4080. It all fit and worked well inside a Lian - Li Lancool II Mesh using the ProArt AIO360 radiator mounted to the front of the case. Everything snapped in easily & securely. there was never a "hmm, is that right ? " No it was all pretty much a breeze. 2) The Ram LED POST fail coming on after enabling EXPO. This freaked me out. If I then cleared CMOS , reboot , then it would POST. However after reading up this is SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN. I then went into BIOS , enabled EXPO for my (4x16 GB) 6000 CL30 RipJaws ram profile , and let it sit in the failed state. I woke up the next morning to a windows boot screen. The BIOS had to do some internal clock checks that took a fair bit of time, but it eventually POSTed and has been solid since. So , that's my piece , enjoy !

Amazing, motherboard

The specs make the ASUS ProArt X870E Creative WiFi 7 sound fantastic. Seems like a reasonable solution for high-end computing before making the leap to AMD Threadripper CPU/Motherboard. The ASUS ProArt is plagued with compatibility issues and gotchas when it comes to RAM. Shall I start with the Yellow Light... this lovely feature is mentioned in several forums. All with suggestions of a solution and none that actually work. My favorite from the ASUS Troubleshooting page for this mob, "The memory train may take from 15 to 30 minutes while the yellow light is on. The yellow light may indicate the RAM is not properly seated. The yellow light may be caused by a problem with the CPU. By the way, while there are indeed 4 slots for DDR5, only use 2 slots or the memory will slow down. Also using all 4 memory slots may lead to stability issues. I both this board for AI work, Motherboard ASUS ProArt X870E, 128GB Crucial Memory 4 x 32GB, AMD Risen 9 9950X, Seasonic TX-1600 PSU, 2 X NVIDIA RTX 5090s. All on an open frame to reduce heat. DO NOT BUY THIS MOTHERBOARD!!!
