I bought this board in pre-xmas sales for the same price as it's packing a lot of features I wanted. It's a ripoff at $370-400 at many Aussie retail stores but represents good value for under $300. Considering it's a tier 2 motherboard from Asus under their ROG stuff, under 300 is decent for x570 with a good array of features..
SO if you're after an X570 MB with great features but dont wanna fork out $400, this might be it!
Reasons I like it:
- Front USB-C header (one of the few in this price range with this connector)
- 3rd PCIE x 16 slot
- Decent VRM config for overclocking (See here: https://imgur.com/JS5OHFH)
- White/black colour scheme with RGB
- Dual M.2 PCIE 4.0
- Integrated IO shield
EDIT: If you're wondering how it compares feature wise to other boards, use this google doc to compare the features that are important to you! The sheet has every X570 board from every manufacturer.
