Original: 06/25/2018: I got this board 2 weeks ago, it came with lasted BIOS firmware (version 601) paired with a AMD 2700x wraith prism cooler + 32gb of Corsair 3333 MHZ RGB Ram (the only downside of this board is that i can't run the RAM at more than 3000MHZ (at 1.2v) - i didn't try extensively to increase the RAM speed because AMD created too much new options on the BIOS configuration for the RAM. when i try XMP settings (3333mhz + 1,35v) windows boots, but got a several lockpus, even when i increase the ram voltage, this way i prefer to keep it at 3000mhz and lower voltage + Samsung 970 EVO 1Tb (M.2. Slot is great, it comes with a LED/RGB heatsink that really works, the temperature of the EVO is around 38c + EVGA 1080TI SC2 (this one is GREAT for video editors, it can encode faster than realtime - about 4 times faster - h265 content!!) + Corsair 750w PSU.
The Wifi + Bluetooth works fine (after updated drivers).
I came from an intel 4970k + 32Gb of DDR3 1600mhz + Samsung 950 EVO SSD +extensively AMD R290x and the performance of the new system is 2 to 3x higher than the old one! One important note, specific to 2700x and wraith prism: set the little button at the lateral of the FAN to high, this increases the performance a LOT!
i think this board has great future if ASUS keep working on it (for example, create a forum specific to it... right now (6/24/2018) there isn't one. (one very weird thing about the ASUS forum (i used it in the past without any problem): people must to agree that will be polite and need to send a message to the administrators of the ASUS ROGUE forum before start to create or answer threads I didn't find any way to send admins private msg... Shame on you ASUS.
Right now, the direct competitor, have far more reviews and better support than this one!
I hope new BIOS revision fix the RAM "issue" i'm having (hope will be firmware revisions!)
Update: 06/26/2018: i manually edit the memory timings using information from suggested AIDA64 Extreme SPD, it's working fine at 3333mhz, with 1.35v and 18-18-18-36 (CL-RCD-RP-RAS) / 54-584-434-267-10-7-37 (RC-RFC1-RFC2-RFC4-RRDL-RRDS-FAW). Will try to lower the values and update. The automatic configuration of Asus Strix X470 ITX isn't working for this memory at this time (BIOS 601). Everything else is working as expected.
Up the review to 5 stars!
Update: 08/25/2018
Set 2700x Vcore Offset to -0.100 and saw major temperature drop (idle from 40-51C to 35C and Maximum from 76C to 63C) with Noctua NH-9US, memory set to 3000mhz (it get random lockups if i set it higher). I Stoped to use windows 10 Ryzen Power Plan (i'm using windows performance plan), this way the minimum voltage is stable and system don't get lockups after some time.I'm still at 0604 BIos as some people complain about some problems with new versions (0804 and 0904). Will update if i up the bios.
Update: 09/24/2018
Updated the BIOS to 0901 and can set the memory to 3333mhz without problems at default D.O.C.P. settings today.
Will play around and see how stable the system is...

Updated to the Lasted Bios 1201:
I read that AI Suite 3 had serious problems, causing monitor shutdown, windows erros and other serious memory instability problems. After remove it I got a 100% stable system. Memory running at 3333mhs (1.35v - default voltage and speed), SOC 1.025v, Vcore Offset -0.475.
Be aware about AI Suite! i suggest configure the FAN speed and other tweeks at BIOS level
