Prime X299-A II bundles Fan Extension Card II, which adds six headers that are controllable via FanXpert 4. The card has three temperature-sensor headers to complement the one available onboard. More importantly, it comes with three thermistors that you can affix to different components. In addition to supplying extra headers for cooling, it has three primed for RGB LED strips.

Proprietary connectors augment the motherboard's link to the PSU with 8+4 pin connectors that pass 12 volts of power directly to the processors. The jacks feature solid pins that can handle more current than hollow-pin connectors.

Revisions to the motherboard's trace routing provide the latest Intel processors with unrestricted access to memory bandwidth. ASUS OptiMem II technology carefully maps memory signal pathways across different PCB layers to reduce vias and adds shielding zones that significantly reduce crosstalk.

To provide Intel's latest processors' unfettered access to memory bandwidth, we've reimagined motherboard trace routing from the ground up. 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.

A dedicated base-clock (BCLK) generator that extends CPU and memory overclocking margins. This custom solution works in tandem with the TPU to enhance voltage and BCLK overclocking control, providing the flexibility to extract every ounce of performance from the latest Intel Core X-series processors.

Use onboard M.2 slots and ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 Card V2* to take advantage of Intel's Virtual RAID on CPU (VROC)** by connecting the three M.2 drives in RAID configurations. With VROC, your RAID arrays are easily configured to be bootable, and traditional DMI bottlenecks are eliminated so that your storage is not held back by other traffic.

The Intel WiFi 6 AX200 module is compatible with the 802.11ax standard and pushes theoretical peak bandwidth up to an incredible 2.4 Gbps. Perhaps more importantly for power users, it's optimized for more efficient operation on crowded networks with a lot of competing traffic. Pair your motherboard with ASUS WiFi 6 routers to fully experience the networking potential of WiFi 6.

The Prime X299-A II comes with the latest Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200, which is compatible with 802.11ax. Otherwise known as Wi-Fi 6, the new networking protocol pushes theoretical peak bandwidth up to an incredible 2.4 Gbps. Perhaps more importantly for power users, it's optimized for more efficient operation on crowded networks with a lot of competing traffic.

ASUS LANGuard is a hardware-level networking protection that employs signal-coupling technology and premium anti-EMI surface-mounted capacitors to ensure a more reliable connection and better throughput.

Prime A520 series adds the nuanced details that improve every experience, from exclusive codecs that provide pristine audio quality to intuitive interface that let you customize your system to create a unique personal look.

SafeSlot Core is the ASUS-exclusive PCIe slot. Featuring a fortified design that's anchored to the motherboard by a special hook, SafeSlot Core provides 1.6x stronger retention and 1.3x greater shearing resistance than standard expansion slots.

SafeSlot Core+ is the ASUS-exclusive PCIe slot fortified with a one-piece stainless-steel brace that shields the slot to protect it from damage. The metal cover is tightly secured to the slot with hooks, and the entire assembly is firmly anchored to the PCB with strengthened solder points to provide a secure foundation for heavyweight graphics cards.

ASUS LANGuard is a hardware-level network protection feature that integrates advanced signal-coupling technology and premium anti-EMI surface-mounted capacitors to improve throughput and ensure a more reliable connection.

The LGA2066 socket is compatible with the latest Intel Core X-series processors with up to 18 cores, over 44 PCI Express lanes, and 165-watt thermal design power (TDP). Those specs require serious power, especially if you're overclocking, so the Prime X299-A II is equipped with a premium power solution that includes 16 power stages that line up neatly along the top edge of the PCB. The power stages are cooled well enough to sustain a staggering 544 W output, which is more than enough to overclock 18-core CPUs into truly extreme territory.

DTS:X Ultra adds a spatial audio feature to boost headphones and speakers for enhanced gaming, VR, and extended-reality experiences. DTS:X Ultra supports sound based on channels, scenes, and objects to allow for deeper sonic immersion in enabled content. It also provides post-processing enhancements and device-level tuning for DTS codecs.

Prime X299-A II has a 2-inch LiveDash OLED dominating the center of the board. It's positioned for easy visibility and capable of showing vital system stats like clock speeds, temperatures, and voltages.

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

The addressable Gen 2 RGB header is now capable of detecting the number of LEDs on second-gen addressable RGB devices, allowing the software to automatically tailor lighting effects to specific devices. The new header also offers backward-compatibility with existing Aura RGB gear.

For comparison, I connected a Samsung SM-A520F to the same Monitor, It did not crash, it started to charge, and even acted as a USB host (I noticed because the xperia on the downstream port switched from charging to developer mode).

Since it looks like a clear duplicate of the bug below as suggested by @direc85, I will however close this topic to encourage all the discussion about it to all happen in the same place. If anyone thinks this is a mistake, please send me a direct message and I can revert it.

after reading a few instances where owners said to activate race mode after switching off the ignition they needed to switch to another mode then back to Race.? doing that every time is a bit silly.

Mine is a manual mk 7 R & if i leave mine in race mode the next time i start the car it still says its in race mode but the exhaust is quieter so i have to select race mode again & you can hear the exhaust note change & the car is louder from the exhaust when driving,it is a pain in the arse,like you say if you select a mode then the car should stay in that mode until you change it,ive just got into the habit of once starting the car selecting race mode again & turning off the stop start. I have mine in race mode all the time with the fake induction noise turned down to 49% which works fine for me.

After ignition off, on startup, gearbox always defaults back to D regardless of mode (Race or Individual with gearbox in S). As said, last mode will still be active so just nudge stick to S. Quickest way by far. You can instantly hear the exhaust tone change from D to S.

Mine spends 90% of its time in individual with most stuff set to race except the DDC (shock absorbers) the exhaust valves seem to stay open from one start to the next (I have the fake induction noise set to 10%) and I normally use manual mode with the DSG,

Yes, totally and utterly stupid. I wouldnt mind quite so much but all the visual indications (mode button light, race icon) are that race mode is still engaged when you restart the car. But it isnt - until you re-select it. How this got through quality control is beyound me.
