This board was a beauty. Loved the design, ease of installation, and the heat sink. The LCD screen was a very nice feature, and you could even use it as a hardware monitor. What had me give this great board a 2-star rating was all the share lanes this board had. The speed and performance were limited due to only using the first M2 slot and one PCIE slot anything else would drop the performance due to lane sharing. I had to return this board because I needed more than 1 PCIE slot and did not want to drop my performance of my graphics card to have that. If you are a gamer and wanting to only use 1 PCIE slot and 1 5GEN m2 slot, then this board is awesome. However, I do not believe this board is worth the value of money that they charge for it due to its lane sharing. Read more

This is a great mobo, but there are some design blunders. For starters, my board is stable with g.skill flare 256gb ddr5 6000. So that's neat. Its not officially rated for it, but it worked first try and has had no booting issues. Besides the following issues, this is the best mobo I've used (as expected in this price range). The blunders I've found so far: 1. In the dimm.2 slot, you there are two T_sensors. If you use the first one, it blocks a hole needed to install it's heat sink. So you can't use the heat sink if you want to use both sensors. 2.0 the usb 2.0, audio, and case power/reset (all those little cords) cannot really be used if you plan to use the second Pcie5x16 slot for a second gpu. You might be able to pull it off with angled cords, but the radiator smashes against the stock ones on the Enthoo pro II server edition. This could be an issue with the cards not being designed well....but I tried it on 3 different card from different generations and they all will not fit with those installed. On the other hand, this board is indeed big enough for 2 3.5 slot cards vertically. If your buying this unit to run two gpus, be warned you might need a pcie riser to install the card bc of the usb slots. Read more

Led display is not customizable. You can only add an image and not a custom animation. If you add an image you cannot display cpu temp, volt and amps. Other than that it supports a good deal of storage and RAM. Expo is quite stable. The led is the only difference between this and apex. The led sucks with the extreme motherboard so its not worth the price. Read more

Oh, when stability on a system is about, the Crosshair X870E extreme is the one you need. Build to last. Read more

The motherboard was so good, as it looks so clean when all of the internal connections was being covered up. The screen was nice cus its telling me which components is being tested when the pc starts up so I never has to look up for what the code means ever again. This motherboard make overclock so easy, as it will try 5 minutes with my new settings, and if it doesn’t work, it will automatically turn it self off and restart in save boot to get you back into the bios and never stuck in the stupid codes cycle when it fails to overclock components. And for that, I already being able to overclock my cl32 6600 mt/s to cl30 7000mt/s with ease and stability. Read more
