Built my first gaming PC during the 2nd lockdown (Aug/Sep) and used this MOBO.
+ First time PC builder, manual / instructions make plenty of sense and easy to navigate
+ Easy rego of warranty
+ RGB can be turned off (I went for blacked out minimal lights)
+ Initial BIOS boot up was easy to understand
+ Works with my RTX3080 ASUS TUF
+ WIFI (who uses this for gaming?!)
- B550s vs X570s may be offered at similar price point offering dual GPU.
For a quick overview check out my 2min YT video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYDozufakWo
There is nothing bad about this motherboard that I am supposed to complain about. The look is great. If you are looking forward to getting a white version with no wifi, get the B550-a.
Amazing motherboard, plenty of room for upgrading and conveniently comes with Wifi and bluetooth.
Have been using this board for a week with no issues. PC has been stressed pretty hard during that time too, running many CPU intensive tasks 24hrs a day. Board itself has many useful features (probably more than I would use during its lifetime).
Main reason for this choice was the price being cheaper than a X570 board with the same features I wanted** such as USB C, wifi 6, BT, high speed LAN.... given I don't really have the intention of overclocking my cpu or memory.
**price and availability at time of PC build
A feature and functionality pack mobo, excellent performance,
I got the ex demo they forgot to clear the bios and did something to my boot drive and I had to reinstall windows.
Was nice and easy to install, was also my first time using a bios flashback button, but that was extremely easy and it allowed me to install my 5800x. Going from my b350plus i had, i did notice a few less USB ports, but this motherboard still has more than enough for most people.
I got it for the Wifi and the USB-C, and it definitely delivers. 40 MB/s (that's megaBYTES, not megabits) down is unreal. Also has all the headers you could ever want, except an internal USB-C header but that's my own fault for not checking.
The one thing that I took a star off for is the software: Armoury Crate automatically installs conflicting audio drivers, Realtek and Nahimic, and because Nahimic is buggy as it consumes 50% of my CPU (A brand new Ryzen 5 5600X!) at idle! And to top it off, Nahimic is super annoying to get rid of. Youtube helped there. After disabling Nahimic everything is awesome though.
Support for Ryzen 3000 series and 5000 series CPUs at a reasonable price made this a great buy for my new build. The firmware support and suite of applications to control the fans, RGB lighting, etc. are fantastic. Only thing to be aware of: if you're purchasing a 5000 series CPU, make sure you go to the manufacturer website and check that the exact model of RAM you plan on getting is supported for this motherboard for a 5000 series CPU. The first set of RAM I purchased was supported for 3000 series but NOT 5000 series, meaning that the system wouldn't POST after building it. But otherwise, a great motherboard!
Amazing product 10/10 would recommend had it about 1-2 months and there’s no problems so far
Geared and good to go for Next Gen CPU in November 2020. Wifi and Bluetooth perks.
After much research, I've decided to go with this board. Looks amazing and has the all the good features for the price.
