I have never been an ASUS fan, UNTIL NOW!
PROS: EVERYTHING!Best all around board for Extreme Overclocking from Air to LN2 (if desired)! AI Overclocking to your hearts content, or just use AI as some assisting on features you are still learning, or mix and match, do it all manual - everything is literally in your control! Paired with an 11900k this is one of only 3 boards I am aware of that will actually tell you the bin quality of your CPU and that number does not change, is very accurate! Also it does cooler evaluations while you don't even notice and gives your cooling system a score and uses that score for recommendations and AI usage for overclocking. There are so many Pros I could go on all day, but just a steady sturdy heavy and amazing show of technology and the best board to get the most from overclocking your 10th or 11th generation Intel Processors.CONS: NONE, see below for suggestions though.There are very few things I could even consider placing here, as none are really CONS, when you buy an APEX, you already know what you are looking for and what you are getting, but being a die-hard enthusiast I will list a couple things that you might want to consider when looking at this board so you don't buy something you don't need, again not really cons, just to help those out as this is an expensive board, but not for what it does.1) RAM capability - Your total available RAM on this board is going to be 64GB. This is not somewhere ASUS came up short though, its simply because it has 2 RAM slots so that when extreme overclocking the RAM you get better results than on any other motherboard available hands down. If you buy this board without having or purchasing a set of dual stick good RAM that's capacity meets your needs, you are wasting capabilities. (though is always upgradable). If 4 RAM slots is absolutely needed go the next step up being the Maximus Extreme, or the Maximus Extreme Glacier (the Extreme with a fully covered water cooling solution). Great boards but the APEX will have more RAM overclocking capabilities than even those.2) If you are a beginner, that's fine, you will learn as it will teach you, but this board is NOT for the following types of PC users: [Non Overclockers - if you do not plan to overclock your components or let the AI suite overclock them for you, you are wasting money] - [Users with a non "K" SKU Processor (i.e. 11700/11900/11400, etc., you would want a 10 or 11 600K, 700K, or 900K) or if you do not plan to purchase any overclockable hardware again a very solid board but kind of wasting a lot of features, this board is for Overclockers and Enthusiasts]OVERVIEW: Everything about this board is amazing! the Bios (which there are 3 of (2 main and a backup) to switch back and forth from) have so many options I'm just amazed! The best part is that most settings down to the deep memory timings and voltages can be adjusted using software, inside of Windows in real time! (see screenshot) and then when its stable you can adjust it in the bios to make it stick on every boot! Also Note that these parameters can be turned into a profile for software OC if desired, possibilities are endless! Memtest86 actually integrated into the BIOS, This BIOS is so feature packed and the board is just amazing, a pure beast! Paired with an 11900k and some B-die 4400mhz G-Skill Ram that runs 4673mhz CL 10-17-17-32 CR1 and (tFAW 24) with no memory errors on this board, but wont do it on any other! (If that doesn't make sense to you it's okay, its an amazing memory overclock that I have never imagined possible or even seen screenshots of! It only has 2 ram slots so remember that when you buy to make sure you have appropriate sized RAM sticks, as its maximum is 64GB. It has 2 slots for a specific reason, RAM overclocking and its really good at it! No temps break a sweat outside your thermal control over your main off board components and CPU, but many AI features which can really help you get it roaring out of the box as you learn all the settings and trial and error period, which has been more trial and success than error for the first time ever!!This is by far the best motherboard I have ever used, its reliable, it has more features than they can stuff into a manual, it comes in a beautiful box full of goodies and runs the fastest RAM available on the market likely with no adjusting or very little. There is no board you can buy that can hold RAM overclocking better than this that I have seen or am aware of. I was a little disappointed that I could not get a Monoblock for this board, but after using it I realized just a little bit of airflow over the components enormous heat sinks is more than enough, there is no need to add additional cooling on anything except the CPU, even with a 3080ti right under my 1tb 980pro SSD, it stays very well within thermals which is amazing! As long as they keep making APEX boards I will never buy another as far as I can see into the future! It's been about 3 months or so since I got it and use it every day its the best board I have ever owned or installed/used and that is out of literally thousands!! If you own a previous APEX board and wondering if this one is on par with the previous ones, the answer is yes and beyond! Don't hesitate, This board is worth everything it costs and more, all day long...NOTE: I am not paid, have not been paid, have not even been asked to write a review on this board, I do not do any paid or compensated reviews for ASUS or AMAZON, or anybody (though I would like to one day). This was done in my free time on my own accord just trying to keep it honest fair and help others make an educated decision. I have never been compensated in any way for any review I have ever submitted anywhere, but if I had been, you would see no difference except this part would not be here!

Great in most ways
I love how it looks and feels but my case had trouble with some of the slots sense it's a big and some of the plug in are in wired positioning making it hard to plug thing in. Only has 2 ram slots wish it had 4 besides that came with everything I need
