Wow! SOLID This is one heavy duty board! Feels really well built and was easy to set up. I paired this with the Nova Mesh Mid tower form Bitfenix and it only just fit. The included software with Asus is great too - install Windows 11 and the OS prompts you to install the driver/setting manager automatically at first boot. Really nice feature. M2 installation was really easy and Asus even included little pads to make sure single sided M2 drives can't flex too much. The only issue I have with the design is that I can't reach the clips to remove the RAM once the board is in the case but that's probably more to do with the small case and HUGE radiator I've paired it with. The manual isn't great when it comes to the Q-LED codes either - I had a bright white light LED and some beeps that the manual led me to believe was a RAM issue (hence my frustration at not being able to reseat the RAM) but it turned out (after much Googling) to be my not having plugged in a monitor!!!
