ASUS TUF Gaming Z590-Plus LGA 1200 (Intel 11th / 10th Gen) ATX Gaming Motherboard (PCIe 4.0, 3xM.2 / NVMe SSD, 14 + 2 Power Stages, USB 3.2 Front Panel Type-C, 2.5Gb LAN, Thunderbolt 4, Aura RGB)

This motherboard was easy to install and everything is working perfectly with a new 10850k. I decided to first attempt to boot windows without reinstalling and see what happens, as I read that windows 10 is pretty good with detecting new hardware. First thing I noticed, neither of my two SSDs were detected, both of which are quite old and used with a windows 7 install. After a quick bit of research, I enabled CSM (compatibility support module) in the boot menu of the BIOS and my SSDs showed up. Windows 10 then booted and began automatically detecting the new hardware and installing drivers. This took less than 10 minutes and I was at my desktop exactly as before the upgrade. I haven't noticed any bugs or slow performance. All in all, a very easy upgrade experience!

There seems to be a common problem with this motherboard - Setting XMP to on to allow the RAM to run at its optimal frequency only works whilst the PC is supplied with power. I always switch off at the wall after powering down for the night, but in the morning on boot up I'm presented with a BIOS message saying that POST has failed - hit F1 to continue. Pressing F1 takes you into BIOS settings - I do nothing but exit and the PC boots up as normal with RAM running at full speed. There seems to be a lot of people out there on the web suffering with this same problem - so far no one has an answer. I don't switch my PC off at the wall any more and things work fine for me. I think the motherboard is loosing some XMP parameter without the mains supply and yes I have checked the voltage of the motherboard battery (over 3V). Maybe a future bios update may fix this - who knows. PS I've also checked out this problem with three sets of RAM and the results are always the same. Switch XMP off and the problem goes away but RAM only runs at the base frequency of 2133GHZ.

I'm already a bit an an ASUS fanboy, but I was wanting to upgrade to a Gen 11 Intel in preparation for the release of Win 11 and had been putting it off because of past bad experience moving my Intel RST RAID when switching hardware. I put this board in, plugged every thing in and went into the BIOS. As soon as I turned on the Intel RAID, it picked up my existing configuration and after installing Windows and the latest Intel RST software, there everything was working perfectly. You have to install windows offline because it doesn't detect the network card during the setup, but as soon as it went into Windows, some ASUS software launched automatically and added all the necessary drivers.Could not be more happy with the experience, still an ASUS fanboy.

Todo un día perdido con esta placa, reinstalando Windows , revisando todo, actualizando BIOS que supuestamente añadía compatibilidad en el pcie y no a habido manera de hacer funcionar una sintonizadora/capturadora avermedia , en cuanto la metías en el pcie se volvía loco el PC. Ha sido comprar una MSI z590 y a la primeraMucha propaganda Asus promocionandose con thegreg pero luego escatima en calidades y desarrollo de biosAdemás les escribo hace 5 dias en soporte de su web y ni una mísera respuestaAsus nunca mais

Bei diesem Board von ASUS handelt es sich um ein gutes Mittelklasseboard, welches viele Anschlussmöglichkeiten bietet.Besonders gut finde ich, dass es zwei SATA-Ports am unteren Rand besitzt, somit muss man nicht zwingend die SATA-Kabel hinter der Grafikkarte einstecken.Außerdem positiv zu erwähnen ist, dass die Corsair iCUE-Software ein Addon für die RGB-Steuerung des Mainboards besitzt und die RGBs sich somit zentral steuern lassen.Ich nutze das Board zusammen mit einem i5 11600K, in dieser Konstellation ist leider Coilwhine festzustellen, dasselbe hatte ich ebenfalls bei einem Gigabyte Z590 Gaming X, welches ich zuvor kurz genutzt habe.Bei beiden Boards hat das Deaktivieren der C-States das Problem gelöst.Das UEFI ist aufgeräumt und einfach verständlich und bietet viele Anpassungsmöglichkeiten.Zusammengefasst lässt sich sagen, dass es ein gutes Board mit einer kleinen Schwäche ist.
