Perfect.

Yes. I have rebuilt my PC 3 times in the last 3 months. Did I want to? Absolutely not!! I could not buy a motherboard or set of RAM stable enough to obviously not last more than a few weeks. Now, this is a VERY tentative 5 star rating but, maybe, just maybe this is the one??? I sure didn't want to pay $450 plus for a motherboard, but if it consists of actual quality and real stability, I'll obviously pay up.Just for a little background info, my CPU, 14700K, 1000W MSI PSU, 4070 Ti Super. Started with a TUF Z790 Gaming Plus Wifi. Most unstable product you can buy, at least for my CPU and nothing but RAM issues. I requested RMA but never sent it in because I kind of threw it after taking it out of the chassis. Oops. So that was obviously my loss and fault and I'm OK with that, BUT maybe if the mobo had been decent, that wouldn't have happened?? I dunno, just a thought.Second motherboard purchased one month later, ASUS ROG Strix Z790 A Wifi II. Supposed to be for 14th gen Intel out of the box. Well, it was OK some days, but most days was once again unstable especially with memory. So I decided to buy a new set of RAM. G-Skill Trident 7200MTs. Wasn't stable at any stock XMP setting until lowering the frequency. So Not 24 hours after installing that RAM the whole PC shut off. I don't know if it was the RAM or Motherboard so, I sent these back this time. I'm genuinely displeased and tired of playing this run around.So, I get my small once a month check again on the 1st and I buy this motherboard (I know you're thinking, why do you keep buying ASUS you idiot???) and a set of TeamGroup T-Force Delta 6800MT's and so far everything is going without a hitch. No memory errors, XMP actually works along with dimmflex. SO maybe the extra money was worth it, but time will tell because there's a serious lack of quality control on these high priced products which makes you company extremely untrustworthy.I hope this one works out
