    my experience with the Asus is that it's cheap and poorly made, so i agree with this review. it's also VERY unstable with 14th Gen processors.. and even has lots of Kernel errors. this is after 5 BIOS updates, and one of those was JUST to run a 14th Gen processor, four months after the MB was released, Sorry Asus, but you need to do better. maybe time to get back to Gigabyte...

    they are disappointing because of the higher price the higher the overclock and dts 7.1, its not the money altogether, its the designs boards, the qvl ram compatibility, and how much overclock can you gain, give me a b660 or tuf gaming but with more overclock, if you buy z790 you can already feel the issues inbound, I want intel to do same, give gamers a cpu thats is good but not the yearly expensive release.

    Hello George, greetings from Ecuador. I hope if you can help me with a question about Gigabyte Aorus Elite z790 ax.
    First, I have my cpu connected to energy, and you can see mainboard status leds are off. As soon as I turn on my computer, those leds sequentially turn on and off, I assume those leds show the POST process steps when the computer is booting. Finally when computer turns on, all status leds are off and I can use computer normally, the problem comes when I turn off the computer, as soon as the cpu is off, the CPU status led turns on. This happens too when the PC and monitor enters to standby mode after an idle period, and as soon as I begin using computer again, that led is off. In my channel I have a video showing that, just in case.
    I want to know if this behavior of CPU status led is normal or not?
    Should I ignore that problem or send the motherboard to technician? (all the pc components are brand new, I have them only from a week ago).
    I appreciate your help, thanks in advance.

      @@GeorgeTech Hi George. Since last time I wrote you about my issue, I realized something new. Motherboard lits its CPU troubleshooting led when computer enters into sleep mode or when computer is shut down, and led remains lit unless you disconnect the monitor from energy or DisplayPort cable of the CPU. This makes me think about a physical problem, and not a simple bug. That led situation does not occur when the HDMI cable is connected to the monitor, when the computer goes into sleep mode or shuts down, the CPU LED lights up fleetingly but turns off and remains off. I know my system can post, it can boot, but I dont want today this thing Im trying to ignore, tomorrow can cause me major problems, if it is something related to hardware. If you have any ideas what this could be, I will appreciate it too much. Greetings from Ecuador.
