Saving for a 2nd build I've been using Asus motherboards for my and my kids builds for the last 15+ years and I've always been happy. This was no exception. I did note that they revised the bios like 5 or 6 versions so they are working on improvements which seems like a pain but actually means they are actively supporting it. I usually pick a motherboard with as many expansion slots as possible to make it as versatile as possible. My next one might be a D4 because of the issues of using more than 2 ram slots.Usage is for a Ham radio control SDR. Running a 13700k, with Samsung 980 pro 2tb, Corsair 16GB x2, and Win 11. Highly recommend as I've never had issues with Asus motherboards.
