Setup was a little rough for me since this was what I am using for my first PC build. But after all said and done, the user manual step by step walked me right through what I needed to do for setup. That paired with the, cases manual worked great. I have had no issues with this motherboard using componants: -Ryzen 7 7700x, -PRIME Asus 5060TI 16gb, -Courser 16x2 gb 6000mhz -2tb M.2 SSD 5,000mb/s My experience has been great thanks to their armory core software which allows me to change fan and RGB settings as well as update all of my components firmware all through windows 11 pro. I picked this motherboard because of its PCIE x16 slot spacing corresponding with all the other features it provides like wifi and Bluetooth. I had no clue it had a resizable bar, but I'll GLADLY use it. I plan to run two 5060TIs in pairs to allow for faster video rendering in blender. I was scared when i saw reviews like "Dead on arrival", but make sure you don't too make the same mistake as me and put the ram in the wrong slots (User manual page 11) Another thing, There is a piece of plastic keeping the cmos battery from touching its contacts with the motherboard. Make sure you take that off. Installing the cpu cooler was a little bit weird for me personally because my cpu cooler does not use a cpu bracket on the back of the motherboard, It simply just screws into the motherboard with two screws. (Phantom Spirit 120SE) I use my computer every day for at least 5 hours per day, there hasn't been one studder or issue with this motherboard. The motherboard arrived in an anti static bag paired with its components. The box was undamaged. It looked and smelled brand new, though i had to get pretty close to smell anything. I found this product while scrolling and researching on PCPartPicker, This motherboard just ticked all my boxes. So yeah all together, I would say the motherboard has been operating just fine after I got over the hurdles of building my first pc.

It is an awesome motherboard it is working great and I am having an awesome experience for my first PC build.
