User questions & answers

Question:	does ryzen 7 2700x compatible with this board
Answer:	3.5mm
Question:	what kind of audio jacks does this motherboard have? Is it similar to a 2.5mm or 3.5mm
Answer:	si
Question:	Es compatible con el procesador amd Ryzen 9 3900X
Answer:	If you read the manual it only disables sata ports 5 and 6 when using 2 M.2 drives, not all of them. So you still have the other 4 available. Folks should know what they're talking about before answering with incorrect information.
Question:	How are the sata controllers on this board? will i be able to use the m.2 and then use m.1 ssds and an hdd connected via sata
Answer:	It is compatible provided you are in BIOS version F40 or newer.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it support overclocking
Answer:	Yes, it is possible to overclock with this motherboard.
Question:	does ryzen 5 2600x work it
Answer:	Yes the RYZEN 5 2600X CPU is supported by the X470 GAMING PLUS motherboard.
Question:	Will this board work with corsair vengeance lpx 16gb (2x8gb) ddr4 dram 3000mhz (cmk16gx4m2b3000c
Answer:	Yes!
Question:	What is the best set of ram to get for this Mother Board? Looking for at least 16 gigs
Answer:	Not saying best, but would recommend either of these based on the fact they worked for me on Ryzen MSI X470 board. Option 1: Gskill: F4-3200C16D-16GVGB Option 2: PNY:MD16GK2D4320016AXR. Both ran right up at 3200, PNY had an additional profile. The timings might have been theoretically better on PNY. I'd pick the cheapest though they are both CAS 16. My guess is they are actually the same chip. Please update your bios first, esp before you start the xmp profile. You'll see MSI actually has the Gskill on their approved list now. If you aren't asking about compatibility and more about perf, most of what i have read says go for 3000 or above but after about 3200 the benefits stop. Timings also matter. Both of the ones i have listed are fairly middle of the road, nothing special but they'll do the job.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this compatible with ryzn
Answer:	No, this adapter does NOT work on TV, Car and PS3.
Question:	Were do I plug in my sata and my pci on this motherboard
Answer:	TBH that I do not know. I do know that when it is plugged in you have a selection for a USB audio device that, so far, is picked up by default in Win10 and I used a few recording studio software programs to test and it had picked it up easily. Although I am unsure how to answer your question because my adapter is at work...I do know that if your headset has a microphone it will work just fine.
Question:	How do people like the wi-fi on this board? I saw a negative review so I thought I would ask
Answer:	I have the same problem. When i use my iphone ear buds. I can hear sound, but the mic does not pic up any sound. The ear bud mic works fine when i use it with my iphone 6. So the ear buds mic is good.

Overview

Designed for 9th generation Intel Core processors, the Prime Z390-A delivers maximum performance with customizable style. 5-Way Optimization provides AI overclocking and dynamic fan calibration while dual M.2 and USB 3.1 Gen2 delivers maximum transfer speeds. Aura Sync RGB with addressable headers customize your build.

5-Way Optimization

The overclocking module of AI Suite's 5-Way Optimization has been revamped for the Z390 platform. With a revised back-end that has the intelligence to overclock a CPU based upon smart prediction and thermal telemetry, this new version quickly delivers overclocking results that would typically take days of manual tuning.

Ultrafast Connectivity

With x4 PCI Express 3.0/2.0 bandwidth, M.2 supports up to 32Gbps data-transfer speeds. It's the perfect choice for an operating system or application drive, providing fast access to data. Also, with backward compatible USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A and reversible USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C ports, you'll experience ultimate connection flexability and blazing data-transfer speeds of up to 10Gbps.

Optimem ll

Our OptiMem II tech carefully maps memory signal pathways across different PCB layers to reduce vias and also adds shielding zones that significantly reduce crosstalk. And to further enhance overclocking headroom for fully stacked memory configurations, we've employed a highly customized T-Topology layout that delivers time-aligned signaling.

Cooler by Design

Each header can dynamically reference three thermal sensors, and via Fan Xpert 4 you can even map the temperature of supported ASUS graphics cards to optimize cooling for GPU and CPU-intensive tasks.

Upgrade to unrivaled audio

Prime Z390-A utilizes a unique audio codec designed in close collaboration with Realtek — the Realtek S1220A. It also features an unprecedented 120dB signal-to-noise ratio for the stereo line-out and a 113dB SNR for the line-in, providing pristine audio quality. Additionally, a new impedance-sensing circuit automatically adjusts gain to ensure the optimal volume range for your headphones.

Visual Beauty

A well-tuned enthusiast system deserves a matching aesthetic. ASUS Aura offers full RGB lighting control with a variety of functional presets for the built-in RGB LEDs as well as strips connected to the onboard RGB headers.* And it can all be synced with an ever-growing portfolio of Aura-capable ASUS hardware.

User questions & answers

Question:	Nvme 1.3 m.2 support
Answer:	it's a standard connector, shouldn't be a problem.
Question:	Can you upgrade the antennas from being in the back of the motherboard to a remote standing antennas with a magnetic base
Answer:	NO IT DOES NOT. From the manual "1x HDMI 1.4 port, supports a maximum resolution of 4096x2160 @24Hz" Question for you - why would you use an integrated graphics CPU to begin with?
Question:	Does this have hdmi
Answer:	This board is in very high demand. Amazon sells it at list price 219.99 WHEN THEY HAVE IT IN STOCK (I got lucky). Other resellers mark it up much more. This happens on the other big on-line sellers that allow third party resellers.
