    Turn off the VGA switch!
    I am using this motherboard with the AMD Threadripper PRO 7975WX. Right now it works nice and solid, very stable. I love this board.But when I first installed the motherboard, I was very frustrated pulling my hairs out because Windows 11 Pro for Workstations kept getting corrupted during installation and every time I installed the NVIDIA graphics card driver it would get stuck in an endless boot loop. After days of troubleshooting and fear of having to find the needle in the haystack bad component and dealing with return delays, I found the culprit! It turns out all these problems were caused by the onboard VGA controller, and when I turned off the little VGA-enable switch on the motherboard, everything went from unstable to rock solid! The Windows 11 install and NVIDIA drivers went real smooth after turning off the VGA switch. This VGA feature is intended for server rooms and I think ASUS should make people more aware of the pitfalls of leaving this switch enabled. There are some reviews here reporting defective operation of some boards, and I bet there’s a 99% chance it’s caused by this stupid little switch being on.There is one other tip to point out, the installation manual description of the CPU power connectors is incorrect. I spoke with ASUS tech support on the phone and they acknowledged they are going to escalate this mistake and fix the manual. The CPU has four power headers: CPU1, CPU2, PCI_CPU1, and PCI_CPU2. The manual illustration indicates to plug in just one of the CPU power headers if you have a single power supply. However, I found that the motherboard won’t even power on unless I plug in the two main CPU power headers. I also plugged in the two PCI_CPU headers to be on the safe side. Additionally, there are two supplemental PCI power headers for the PCI slots next to the main ATX power plug. While the manual says this is only needed if you have two or more graphics cards, I found that the BIOS startup screen complained when I didn’t have at least one of them supplied with power because I have two PCIe cards (a GPU plus an M.2 SSD card). These are not two GPUs, but just two different cards. At some point ASUS will fix the install manual based on my phone call. Simply get a good high capacity PSU and plug in ALL the power headers instead of picking and choosing which one, and you’re good.Note that this is an EEB form factor, which is quite large. You don’t necessarily “need” an EEB specific case however. I was able to get it to fit great in an ASUS ProArt PA602 Wood Edition case (ATX/EATX size case). I simply had to re-arrange the standoffs in different spots and skip 3 of the standoffs on the right edge of the board (not really needed, the motherboard is plenty secure with the rest of them).I have a total of 8 M.2 PCIe 5th gen SSDs (Crucial T705). The motherboard has slots for 4 of them and I am also using the ASUS Hyper M.2 PCI card for another 4 (plugged into the first PCI slot since the first two slots support gen 5 speed in bifurcation mode). I have 32TB of BLAZING FAST storage, I love it!Adjusting the fan curves is split between the BIOS settings and IPMC web admin. The fan speed adjustments for the VRM, M.2, and USB4 heatsinks are in the BIOS. The CPU and chassis fan curves can be set in the BMC which allows firmware-level computer management over the network (first you’ll have to set an IP address in the BMC section of the BIOS to access the IPMC web settings).I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this board for creative pros, AI, software development, engineering, etc. This is the best sTR5 socket board on the market right now for Threadripper PRO. I’m very happy with it.

    Worst experience ever.
    I bought two of these models and after talking with Asus customer support team several days and hours the motherboard did not was able to send any signal to the monitor.Asus asked me to change the power supply, and the memory. I did it, and nothing, same error all the time.I do not recommend this model.I was a FAN of ASUS but after this experience I am considering to stop buying ASUS things.I built another PC with Gigabyte motherboard and straight forward.

    Works great this time!
    Packaged poorly like last time but luckily arrived undamaged. This may be the heaviest motherboard I have ever owned and that is saying a lot. It is beefy, for serious PC builders. That being said, it was packaged inside of a large Amazon box almost 3 feet long and twice as big as the motherboard box with a single 3 foot piece of brown packing paper so it slid freely inside. I can only imagine the abuse it suffered getting here and may account for why the first one didn’t work. But this one does and it is fast!

    Nice board.
    Nice board, a little complicated to setup but performs well

    Great board, consult the QSL for RAM!
    I have had no major issues after 2-3 months, using Debian LinuxNOTE: Needs a Threadripper *Pro* 7000 series CPU. These are 7955WX, 7965WX, 7975WX, 7985WX and 7995WX. NOT 7950, 7960, etc.NOTE: There is no integrated graphics- you will need a GPU to drive a display. For a cheap, low profile option to use alongside large GPUs used for compute, I bought the Intel Arc A310 Eco by Sparkle ($99.99!) to drive an 8k display with max power usage of 50WNOTE: Make sure you use the QSL data from the Asus when picking your RAM. People who claim the board is not stable either had bad luck, got older/earlier builds of the board, or were using non-QSL RAM. I’ve had zero stability issues. I chose w V-Color kit from the QSL listNOTE: The CPU socket is sTR5, which is a larger, rectangular socket. This is important to know when buying a cooling solution. Coolers for AM5 will work, but there are now 2-3 coolers designed specifically for sTR5NOTE: The board is larger than ATX and not the sane as eATX. It’s SSB. Make sure your case can mount an SSB board. I know Silverstone has some 3U and 4U SSB cases. Phanteks has a bunch of SSB tower-style casesCoolers:Off the top of my head, from months of investigation:- Eisbaier Aurora Pro 360 (AIO, ~$200)Alphacool Eisbaier Aurora Pro HPE 360 (AIO, ~$250)- Noctua NH-U14S (Fan/heatspreader, ~$125, I think)- SilverStone XE360-TR5 (AIO, ~$350)

    7 GPUS!
    Took a bit of doing (turn off USB4 in bios and ubuntu needs a special setting) but I got this monster of a motherboard working with 7 GPUs, almost all at full speed. (slot 6 can only do 8x I guess?) – oh, and for ubuntu you need GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=”pci=realloc=off” in your /etc/default/grub. Don’t forget to buy seven risers…

    BMC failures , Failing PCE ports, Bad Ram Support
    Buyer beware, this motherboard is RIFE with problems, from the supported RAM which isn’t available on the Asus website (DDR5 EEC doesn’t come cheap) to a defective BIOS shipped with the motherboard to NVMEs not being recognized to failed PCIe ports and the list goes on !

    So far all good
    Updated review based on second item received. We returned the first one because the box seals were removed and we could not flash the bios. The second box had also had the seal removed then replaced (apparently) – is this a common practice with this item? Since the second motherboard seems so far perfect otherwise (we have yet to install it, waiting on an other part that had to be reordered), I want to update this review. The item seems perfect though was not sealed… the boxes were undamaged, and delivery was super fast. If I can, I will update this again once we have successfully installed the board. We have high hopes!

    Received my board today and noticed the it was tampered with the seal was pulled off and -stuck back on upon inspection , i found that the board is cracked !! Hopefully the new Board is is in better condition 🤞
