There are a ton of features on the board and the built in audio does sound great, but since I am a video editor and have to process hours of audio, I always use an add in card for audio.
I highly recommend the ASUS ROG Strix X399-E gaming motherboard...IF you get the Lotes CPU socket.
CPU: AMD Threadripper 1900X
RAM: G.Skill Trident Z RGB 3200
GPU: Radeon R9 270 (I know, but i'm not a PC gamer)
PSU: Thermaltake - Toughpower Grand RGB Sync Edition 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
Cooler: Thermaltake - Water 3.0 Riing RGB 360 40.6 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Fans: Coolermaster Masterfan 240
Case: Thermaltake Core X5
Drives: NVME SSD, 2x 2TB hard drives, 1x PNY SSD
Initially, I ran into several problems with the motherboard and automatically assumed it was a bad motherboard. But it was not. Basically, my G.Skill RAM would not post as 3200 clock speed. It would post at 2133. So I went into the bios and changed the speed to 3200, saved and rebooted. At that point, the bios screen would never come back up. The error codes on the motherboard were random and didn't make much sense. I had problems flashing the bios at this point. Eventually, after many tries, I was able to flash the bios and reset it to factory settings. I was also able to get the RAM to post at 3200 clock speed! I was missing the extra step of enabling DOCP mode in the bios, which appears to be the equivalent of Intel's XMP. Once I enabled DOCP and rebooted, the RAM was recognized and the bios displayed the correct RAM speed and timings. I went through a lot of trouble here, but it was my inexperience with AMD. Perhaps the bios could have warned me that just setting the speed to 3200 without enabling DOCP might cause an issue. Either way, I learned something.
Now, on to Aura Sync. This feature lets you control the rgb lighting on any Aura Sync enabled device. I am a sucker for RGB lighting. Setting up Aura sync was pretty easy, as long as you buy compatible parts. I used pcpartpicker.com to help me choose the right components. The stock Thermaltake case fans were replaced with Coolermaster rgb fans so they could be controlled by Aura. The fans came with a controller, but I didn't need it because I am taking advantage of Aura. Each one of the Coolermaster fans has a cable with split ends. One end connects to a splitter cable that is hooked up to an rgb header on the motherboard. (I have an rgb light strip hooked up to the second rbg header) The other fan cable hooks up to a fan header on the motherboard. This way, the fan can be powered/controlled by both Fan Xpert and by Aura Sync. The Aura Sync software is easy to use, but a bit clunky. It works for the most part. Sometimes, I have to re-apply the Aura settings. For example, the RAM had stopped lighting up for some reason, and i had to reset it. My Thermaltake AIO cooler is not Aura Sync enabled. I almost returned it, but I could not find any other coolers at Microcenter that were Aura Sync enabled. So I decided to give it at try. I was able to match the colors of Aura Sync and it pulses nicely with the rest of the system. So I am ok with it. Moreover, the motherboard has it's own rbg LEDs on it, and it looks very nice. Like I said, I am sucker for rgb for some reason.
I really like:
1. Overall look and style
2. Qcode display
3. Reinforced steel pci-e slots
4. Tons of USB 3.x ports (one type c port that I don't need yet) A total of twenty usb ports, I think.
5. Two fan headers for a future water pump I will install
6. Etc, etc.
The motherboard is pricy, but so are most of the other X399 motherboards. No built-in wifi, but I don't need that. I have not really tested out the Crystal Sound 3 audio, so I can't speak to that. So far, I have been using the system for a week. Everything on the motherboard is working as expected. The entire system is much faster than my old i7 2600. That's not a fair comparison, but it's what I had. Initially, I assumed it was bricked because of the issue I explained at the top. I wonder how many customers return motherboards because they screwed up the bios settings, and they didn't really have a defective motherboard. Overall, I am very happy with it.
My build:
CPU: 1950x
RAM: CMD128GX4M8A2666C15
GPU: 1050
NVMe SSD: 960 EVO M.2 1TB
My recent PC build using the above components, was worth the wait, but I ran into a few issues along the way. One of the issues was how much torque you use when installing a Threadripper CPU. In order to save yourself from a lot of pain, consider purchasing a torque wrench that allows you to tighten the screws used to hold in the TR4 CPUs to the proper / recommended torque. There's lot of folks out there complaining that their memory sticks don't work with a Threadripper board, but it's not the board, it's the amount of torque you use tightening down the processor. I went round and round with this issue and thought that I had a bad board, bad RAM, etc. I did call support but we didn't really get into the weeds or get down to this level of granularity which if you think about it is not surprising given that if you take on this type of project you should be prepared, which I was not. Essentially, this is a high performance workstation from a CPU point of view and that's not conveyed quite enough in my opinion when it comes to seating a TR4 in the socket.
After re-seating the CPU multiple times and countless adjustments to the BIOS including an update, returning RAM modules, I decided to tighten it down just a bit more to see if that would help. AND YES IT DOES HELP!. I was also sure to purchase RAM listed on the QVL for memory that is compatible with this board and did purchasing a KIT (meaning all the same batch of sticks =128GB), so that's another thing to consider rather than just trying to add random memory sticks.
Well, hope this helps someone out there struggling with RAM not being detected on their high performance workstation builds using the Threadripper TR4 sockets. Before you think that your RAM is bad, or the board just be sure that you have the CPU tightened enough so that it detects all the RAM in the first place. And no this doesn't mean that you need to crank down mercilessly on the CPU socket, you need to be tactful in tightening down as it's a fragile electronic item and it's just downright expensive. Unfortunately, for the first week or so after having this board and the 1950x, I did not do that, I just tightened the CPU screws slightly as I didn't want to damage anything.
Whew, over the last few weeks I wished several times that I had just purchased a bare-bones PC delivered after being installed and tested, rather than doing the build myself. I do love a challenge and I'm pretty geeky and have built my own PCs for the past few decades. However, none of them were as challenging as this one. The precision of components has gone up and the cost of components makes it risky for the novice PC builder. Unless you are up for a real challenge and have torque tool for electronics and have the time to understand the newer hardware available, it may be best to have a pro just build your box, unless your like me and love the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. The reason I built my own workstation is to get exactly what I wanted for a limited amount of money. I'm pretty sure if I had bought my current workstation from a vendor it would cost approximately 4 to 5K. My guess is that I saved approximately 500 to 1K, by doing the build myself and reusing various components like my old Antec case.

la he utilizado con un threadripper 2990WX y un 1950X
y sin ningún problema con ambos sockets, ya no hay que actualizarla para la segunda gen, solo hay que esperar a que salga la tercera generación para verificar si aun sigue siendo util
- BIOS compatibility mode occasionally causing GRUB to not find my root disks. Sometimes when I hard reboot, the SSDs and HDDs do not show up in EFI.
Disabling CSM (compatibility support module) for legacy BIOS boot fixed this.
- ASUS Aura Sync RGB controls are not available for Linux, and ASUS support is totally braindead when it comes to getting any kind of documentation on the I2C registers and how to make Linux talk to Aura Sync.
- Updating board firmware resets all the custom configuration, extremely irritating.
- The default settings aren't great; no NUMA mode enabled by default, a bunch of useless options enabled.
I've got it sitting in a Thermaltake X9 Core with 64GiB (4x16GB) of Kingston ECC 2400MHz (running 2666MHz) memory running a Threadripper 1900X. This gives 1 memory channel per DIMM, and all memory is addressable with no additional latency (in NUMA mode).
I've tried overclocking this and it works, but throws the thermal measurements off and consumes more power (obviously) so I just run with stock XFR settings.
Tiene todo lo necesario (multiples PCIE para tarjeta de video, PCI-E x14 y PCI-E x1 para expansion, soporte para SSD M2 y U2).
Para resumir:
Lo bueno:
- Estable aun con Overclock.
- Socket LOTES y no el bugiento socket FOXCONN.
- Soporta Quad SLI/Cross Fire
- Tamaño EATX (mucho espacio para trabajar)
- Heatisnk y ventilador para los VRM y Fases de poder.
- Aura RGB y controlador
- Compatible con sistemas de enfriamiento de Agua
- Compatible para montones de ventiladores de chasis de 4pines (PMW).
- LED para diagnósticos y Generador de códigos LED de diagnostico.
- Montones de puertos USB 2 USB3 USB3.1
- Gigabit Ethernet y Audio decente.
Lo Malo:
- el Southbridge es muy caliente aun a pesar del "heatsink". Pasando el calor al primer slot M2
- VRMs se calientan fácilmente.
- Muy lento para bootear (casi 10 segundos antes de que haga le POST)
- Relativamente caro comparado con motherboards que no son para Threadripper.
- Dependiente de tipo de RAM (threadripper) para que bootee con la velocidad maxima.
- La plataforma requiere muchísima energía (60-90Watts en Idle y hasta 380Watts totales en uso con overclock ligero)
Full configuration:

Corsair 750D ATX Full Tower Case
Corsair RMx 1000 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer
OS: I created a win-10 (for gaming)/Ubuntu 18.04 (for DL) dual boot.
Overall build quality is solid. Very rugged - comes with all required nuts/bolts.
The I/O shield is a little flimsy - but not noticeably so.
I docked one star mainly because after I installed the 2 GPUs the PCIE x1 slot (which I planned to use for network card) was completely unusable :( had to go with USB wifi adapter, which wasnt the ideal option for me.
All in all a very happy customer so far (1 month from purchase - will update later).
