What customers say about "Key Specs"

Gigabyte Z390 UD Motherboard

I paired with an i5 and the processor ran with no issues.
Excellent, average priced Ultra Durable board for intel processors.
Great gaming motherboard. I have an I5 9600k and works brilliantly.
Rock solid from the go. Blazing performance with the i5 9600k and gskill 3200 RAM.
It will support 9th gen Intel chips if you want to upgrade ladder.

ASUS Prime Z390-P ATX Motherboard

If you want a mobo for 8th/9th gen Intel processor with m.2 capability look at this.
It does an amazing job. It works well with my i7 9700K.
Clean design, works well with 9th gen Intel Core CPUs. Lots of PCI-e expansion ports.
Avoid if you have I7 or I9 CPU! This MBO is designed for I3 max I5, VRM is really cheap and bad.
Overall board is decent but it was a little difficult to fit into an ATX sized case.

What customers say about "Memory"

Gigabyte Z390 UD Motherboard

The XMP profile of the memory had no issues at all.
Plenty of slots for memory and expansion cards.
Board works with my 3200MHz G.Skill Ripjaws 14 CAS memory.
Motherboard only works with one stick of DDR4.
RAM originally wouldn't work without issue beyond about 2666 MHz.

ASUS Prime Z390-P ATX Motherboard

I'm able to use all 4 RAM slots. The fan control in BIOS is very flexible.
This board was used in a build with an i5 9600K and 3000MHz DDR4. The RAM slots are tight and works flawless.
Works straight out of the box, recognized my RAM timing and clockspeed, as well as the CPU.
Good motherboard with 4 of slots for RAM, maximum for 16GB each.
The memory slots don't work. Two motherboards and the same issue.

What customers say about "Connectivity"

Gigabyte Z390 UD Motherboard

Plenty of sata ports for expandibility and also enough usb plus a m.2 key.
All the ports were clearly-labelled, and even the slight bit of RGB lighting from the board is a nice touch.
Good budget board with all the ports that I need. Highly recommend.
I wish it had one or two more USB ports. Everything else is ok.
The USB ports died a week after install. Total disappointment with this motherboard.

ASUS Prime Z390-P ATX Motherboard

This board has two M.2 slots. That's a primary reason I picked it.
There are plenty of USB ports on the back panel and it works with the Sound Blaster Z pCIe card.
It has got 2 slots for M.2 SSDs, which is good for expansion.
Solid power delivery for entry level board, abundance of USB 3.x ports.
Would've been nice to have wireless connectivity included.

What customers say about "Features"

Gigabyte Z390 UD Motherboard

It was a joy building with the motherboard and also impressed with the build quality and features for a budget z390 mobo.
Bios is easy to navigate. Board itself is quite protected and durable.
There are on board graphics and sound if required.
The components are high quality, good slot arrangement, good features.
The audio output has a baseline static noise and louder interference from mouse and GPU activity.

ASUS Prime Z390-P ATX Motherboard

Setup was easy and ASUS's use of UEFI features to auto-preload the BIOS update software in to Windows is quite clever.
Just two rather than four SATA cables provide - fair enough really.
Easy to install and match with CPU, I now have a super fast PC to match my ultra broadband.
It does support RGB lighting and suits my gaming PC.
Comes with Realtek Gigabit network and basic Realtek ALC887 sound which has pretty decent sound.
