ASUS ROG Zenith II Extreme TRX40 Gaming AMD 3rd Gen Ryzen Threadripper sTRX4 EATX Motherboard with 16 Power Stages, PCIe 4.0, WiFi 6 (802.11ax), USB 3.2 Gen2 and Aura Sync RGB

Not withstanding the high cost, this is absolutely the premiere motherboard from Asus. A Porsche among motherboards . .I've previously built systems based on Rampage VI Extreme Omega, Rampage VI Extreme, Rampage VI Apex (never should have sold that one) and this one is a keeper.Unable to test the 10GHz Ethernet, but every single other option works. Running an AMD 3960x at stock settings on air (be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 - Amazon), no issues what so ever.Quiet is the key word and temps never exceed 80 degrees when benching Prime 95 FFT. Plenty of clearance too in a Caselabs BH8 with fans mounted overhead .

This board is pretty incredible to look at. It is definitely one that has an eye to the future. That being said, if you be have any issue, as I did, don't bother with Asus support. I received my motherboard in January. I immediately put together my new computer and found I had a memory error. I called tech support at Asus and they eventually concluded I would need to send it in for repair. First they tried to get me to pay for it to be returned. After some talking they sent me a shipping label. The product arrived at their repair facility where it sat for two weeks before they even acknowledged it was there. They said original it would only take 7-10 business days to repair. So I'm annoyed but I wait to hear the diagnosis. Two more weeks go by before they can tell me my motherboard cannot be repaired so they would like to do a replacement. I said fine and then they tried to convince me to take a cheaper model as a replacement. I said no I want my model or a refund. After another week of calls they finally concede and agree to refund my motherboard. This refund can take up to 30 days to process. I am still waiting on it. Their support refused to let me speak to a manager on multiple occasions and was a waste of time ever time I called. Then they said they would call me back and never did. It was truly abysmal service.I did end up purchasing this motherboard a second time. I already had the processor so I had to get a motherboard to run it on. Any issues you have you have to resolve on your own because you won't get any help from Asus or the internet yet since it is so new. Once I got it up and running it does have a great feature set.

I have to be honest here, I did have a bad board but got it replaced over-night and everything has ran 100% as expected. I had some issues with the Zenith One Extreme but they have seemed to fix all the issues with the Zenith Two boards. If you are looking to purchase this board then there is probably nothing I can already tell you is that it’s a beast, and it’s super fast to boot! ;)

Just got this motherboard and run into following issue. It requires >=12mm clearance from top mounting screws to bottom of fans or radiator. All other MBs I used require in the range of 6mm. As a result I'm forced to replace 54mm thick radiator with 30mm thick and compensate loss of cooling capacity by adding yet another radiator elsewhere.I think this issue is very relevant for anybody with custom loop or AIO,
