Not going to waste time with a deep Tech review (i.e. overclocking, jumpers, and drivers). But - if you don't ... check the Vendor's list for compatible memory first - you will suffer a thousand deaths with this MoBo.I'll get straight to the point: CORSAIR VENGEANCE LPX (CMK32GX4M2B3200C16) - running at 3200 MHz is on the list and running at full XMP speed... purchased at Best Buy (not the greatest, buttttt).Take Notes: everything else I've tried, and I have many options, has failed harder than a New York Jets football team (e.g. my Crucial Ballistix 3200 will throttle to SAFE mode, Dominators will not OC, GSkill is a no show on radar)... however, none of my DIMMS are on the list. Can't use random stuff.This is a beautiful Motherboard with crazy love for processor over-clocks, but this 'memory thing' is a nightmare.I dropped down from an X299 board - just to see what the 10700k could handle - and it was pure shock...The thermals and speed are amazing (OC'd). BTW - today's boards will overclock to a percentage (%) - so, I'm not able to give a good reference due to the following:1. Power Supply - the cheap stuff will throttle 5GHz back to Stock (recommend 850 or better... consider upcoming Ampere and Navi cards). Power draw is serious with the LGA 1200 platform.2. Air Flow in the case (gone are the days of Micro ATX - I had to go full tower / wind tunnel this round - sorry this doesn't help the budget dude). Plus the new Ampere video cards are monstrous.3. Limitation of Motherboard OC; I have to admit, this board is delicious on OC (lots of headroom and VRM tweaks)4. Most important: water, air, or custom CPU cooling; so, if your hideout doesn't have air conditioning or Alaskan weather - don't bet on that flimsy cooler you've been pushing (throttle, buck, dead processor)The BIOS on this board will use A.I. to factor all cooling/quality components - the cheap stuff will cause sadness and reduce intelligence.Overall: well done ASUS, I'm very pleased - but get that freakin' BIOS up-to-date (like 4600 MHz is Breakin' News)

Motherboards, to be honest unless your building a monster of a PC, these days come down to cosmetics. This motherboard is beautiful, absolutely stunning, I have not added the motherboard yet. I am still waiting for all the computer parts to come in however, this is packaged perfectly.EDIT: I have installed the motherboard and completed my PC. Friendly reminder to not forget to add the spacers for this motherboard!! Our first PC build did not require it and we almost overlooked it with this one. If you forget to add the spacers you will short out the mobo when you turn the system on and you do not want that!!
