- Jam packed, but stability issues. - Craig, 29 May 2019
On paper, this motherboard looks like it has it all. Unfortunately, in the real world some of that potential is squandered through a very unstable and rough UEFI. I don't know if the issue is related to the P3.10 firmware, but this board tends to lock up with the 06 Debug error code too often, which research says is the stage where CPU microcode is being loaded. Hopefully as time goes on, the firmware will get more and more polished and bugs will be squashed. The onboard BIOS reset button has come in handy way too many times already sadly.
Hanging aside, the UEFI feels unpolished with too many features missing. Being able to disable the 10Gbit NIC for example, or turn off Bluetooth or the extra 2 SATA ports controller. I've worked with dozens of boards out there with a much richer and better designed UEFI that is able to do all these little things.
On the positive side, the board looks stunning with it's colour scheme and the onboard LEDS do the job really well without being too garish. Port and slot wise you really are pretty much covered.
This is a powerhouse motherboard, but it is let down by some stability issues. As long as you are aware of this and can live with the quirks, you'll have a good foundation board for a high end AMD Ryzen build.
