*note* If you're writing one star reviews for the "Scratched" details on the front of the board, slow down. There is a protective plastic film on the panels on this board that may show scratches, this is common with electronics like these. Just peel off the plastic once you're comfortable with your installation and you'll be all set.

Pros:
Good look
INSANE amount of options and controls in the bios (Seriously, you can spend hours in the bios and still be looking up what some things do)
Good power delivery without being loud
Good layout (very important since some manufacturers will put sata or usb or other connectors in weird places)
Cons: (more like nitpicks)
The amount of crap you have to take off the motherboard to install the m.2 drives is honestly a little unsettling. First remove GPU (if installed) then the chipset cooler cover has to come off, THEN the m.2 slot covers come off.
The onboard power/ reset buttons light up bright white and cannot be turned off. SUPER ANNOYING
For $400, a back plate would have been appreciated (Like the Formula)
My monitor tops out at 120hz so I can't get total framerate but in COD Warzone and Cold War it solid stays at 120 without missing a beat running 4k (on RTX 3080.)
BIOS has been super easy to setup. Manual is awesome. Everything about it has been great. Would buy again without hesitation.

I just replaced an Asus Z97-A legacy with this board in a new build. I'd buy Asus for Quality and this is great board, but for the price - it really needs more.
They've placed the 20 PIN USB 3.0 port at the front of the board, and those using a full size card will often block access to that port. While Asus anticipated this issue and made the connecter horizontal instead of vertical, the bulky adapter sometimes is cumbersome to get in, thus resorting to purchasing the newer front panel connector this board supports, but it should have been included.
Removing 10 screws just to mount a single M2 module is a bit ridiculous. Once you get the board placed and mounted in the case, if you mount a top fan, the ARgb Headers and CPU fan connectors are VERY CUMBERSOME to get to.
Flex and other buttons on motherboard are useless for most and would much prefer a switch option or a front panel connector for such. While I imagine this is an enthusiast board - I still believe price vs features is unbalanced.

its not scratches thats is just white stuff it easy to remove.
and the scratches logo, thats only plastic cover not the inside part.
overall: product was marvelous.
Substantial improvement over the Maximus XI Hero. This one is actually worth buying.
Fantastic product packaging as well, and somewhat decently accesorized. SATA cables are meh, but the rest of the stuff is pretty solid.
