Motherboard arrived with 3035 bios pre-installed out of the box, this includes support for the 9800X3D in case others are wondering if they needed to update it or not. So you can buy this motherboard safe in the knowledge that it'll immediately work with your shiny new 9800XD and no faffing about needed.
Many thanks OCUK
WiFi drivers incorrect on Asus site, pain to install correct ones

Didn't think to check reviews on the WiFi driver issues so bit me a little, as its a common issue I put 3 stars. It caused a bit of headache as I didn't have a LAN option, found drivers to install (wrong on Asus site for this board) and got them on a USB drive but unfortunately they don't seem to work with a enabled WiFi-only bundled software called Asus armory crate. I wound up harvesting an 10 year old PCIe WiFi card from an old desktop to get started. Installed Armory, installed the correct driver (RealTek RTL8852BE WiFi) and it worked. Was a solid 3-4hrs to fix!
Granted rest of board worked and build quality is nice, actual design is low profile, not that flashy and branding; while a bit cringe as always, isn't prevalent when looking at the board head on.
A lot of motherboard for the money

I had no problem with WIFI drivers as reported by other reviews. Updated the bios on receipt and largely all has been good.
I am marking down a star as I had trouble with the primary DDR5 slots. My ram would only work in the secondary slots but I'm not sure if that's a motherboard or RAM issue.
