The deal was amazing, but this motherboard hasn't been great, although it has improved with time. I can now run my ram at 6000Mhz reliably, but there's still a 40 second black screen every time I boot. At one point I wired up a secret switch to the clear the CMOS I was having so many issues getting the RAM up to speed.
ASUS release notes for BIOS updates don't provide any detail. BT, Wi-Fi, everything else has been pretty solid, although there is an inexplicable delay with getting ethernet to come back after sleep that I've never experienced before. If you're using Wi-Fi ti's fine.
But I personally wouldn't buy this motherboard again.
Enable 'memory context restore', reboot. Enable 'power down', reboot. Problem solved.
It's frustrating these items are not enabled by default, however, they do fix the memory training on every boot problem.

U have memory context restore turned on? Also it is prob the ram fault not mobo bc micro center paired the combo with Samsung/micron die memory(there was a short period where is was Hynix tho)

The biggest drawback is that you can't use the last full size PCI slot (which is x4) along with the last M.2 slot. You have to choose one or the other. I have a 10Gb NIC that I had to buy a riser card to move to one of the x1 slots since I added a 3rd NVME drive. Now the card can only do 2.5Gb since it lost the x4 circuitry.
