Asus is always amazing. Nice Bios, easy to use and comes with some nice features for your budget build.
Pros:
- Looks good and well built
- 4X DDR4 slots with plenty of space for upgrades
- M.2 slot
- LED support
Cons:
- Doesn't have built-in wifi
- PCI slots are place way too close - if you using a full size GPU you will lost one of them
- no support of SLI (but that's fine as it's a budget board)
- just two fans inputs

Good cheap board
11 October 2019
Great mobo with PCIE m.2 (as opposed to SATA) which provides the best speeds.
Has all the basic features needed in a build. The only thing I've run into is that it only has 1 PCIE x16 which might annoy me down the track. If you have a gaming video card, it will likely block one of the PCIE x1 slots - unless you get an extension.Great mobo with PCIE m.2 (as opposed to SATA) which provides the best speeds.

Unreliable
11 September 2019
Boy, has this board given me trouble! After 2 months of using this MB, my PC would not boot after it mysteriously turned itself off. After a lot of troubleshooting, it ended up being the motherboards fault. It has since been replaced with the exact same MB after a refund and it has worked since. However, a couple of the USB ports occasionally stop working for a moment so whatever I have plugged into those slots disconnects and reconnects all to often. This can be a real pain if, like me, you have a USB wifi adapter. I do not recommend this board.Boy, has this board given me trouble!

Great motherboard, still has issues with the new Ryzen CPUs

This motherboard is really good and has plenty of SATA ports. Unfortunately, there are issues with the BIOS that prevent booting to Linux with a new Ryzen CPU. If you aren't trying to run Linux, this is a great motherboard. (Will update review when fixed)This motherboard is really good and has plenty of SATA ports.

Great Motherboard
8 April 2019
This motherboard can do a lot compared to my old Intel one a few years back.
BIOS looks really nice and easy to get around.
M.2 Hard drive makes booting up and general use blazing fast.
The AURA sync is neat and the motherboard offers enough fan connectors for this price range.
One of the PCIe 2.0 slots will not be usable if you have a large graphics card (possibly the second slot as well if you want to keep good ventilation), thus, consider getting a ATX motherboard if you really need those expansions, or just don't use a high-end graphics card.
You get what you pay for, so for use in a cheaper workstation PC, or a good gaming ... View MoreThis motherboard can do a lot compared to my old Intel one a few years back.

Nice motherboard, looks good, great value for Ryzen build. Easy to use BIOS and simple to install. Only downside is the lack of fan headers, there is a dedicated CPU header and 2 fan headers so you can only control some of you fans if you're like me and have AIO set up running. Otherwise I'm happy with my purchase.Nice motherboard, looks good, great value for Ryzen build. Easy to use BIOS and simple to install.
