Very good motherboard and bios upgrade already done to fit my ryzen 5900x. The asus bios is very intuitive.
no problem with this beautiful and powerful motherboard i really like it i recommend it
Chosen for a new machine, I preferred it to an X570 because it doesn't have the fan on the chipset. Admittedly the B550 is slightly below the X570 (fewer PCIE lines) but it comes with built-in WIFI 6 and BT 5.2.
My first set of HyperX 3200MHz RAM sticks has cold boot problems, so make sure you choose a set of QVL sticks from the Asus website.
Easy assembly.
+ Product compatible with ryzen 5000 out of the box.
- Network driver to be installed manually
+ Good performance (usb sata audio)
I'm not sure if it's a good idea to install the card in the case, but it's a good idea to install the card in the case.
I had to tinker with the mounting points of my EK supremacy waterblock (old model delivered with clips for an am3 socket). If this is your case, think about it.
I chose this motherboard for my new configuration.
I have always bought ASUS/ROG products, they are quality products and well finished. For your information I have kept and overclocked an old ROG G74SX laptop which is still working after 11 years.
The motherboard is really top of the line; lots of USB 2.0/3.0 ports / several display ports etc.. I've been using it for a while now, but it's not really a good idea to use it for a long time.
The card is compatible with the CORSAIRE ICUE software once you have installed AURA SYNC first.
I recommend this purchase
The card was well received and beautifully finished.
With the PCIe 4.0 ports the card is ready for years to come no worries.
With the ability to host the future AMD Zen 3 I'm happy for a while too.
The card does not heat up at all and manages all the fans of my computer by itself according to the use of the components.
In the box the small wifi 6 antenna is really nice aesthetically, I can't wait for the internet boxes to use this 6.0 standard.
The RGB lighting of this motherboard along with the other Asus products is the little extra that makes me happy at the end of the assembly when we turn on the set.
A good motherboard, but considering the price I expected much better.
What I like:
- The two M.2 ports which guarantee a good margin of improvement of the PC.
- The heatsinks for the M.2 ports are very welcome.
- The serflexes.
- The well finished io shield backplate which is already installed.
- Quality VRMs for overclocking.
- A mode to automatically overclock your CPU from the BIOS, less efficient than a manual overclock but still very practical if you don't have any knowledge in the field or if you are not motivated to do it.
What I don't like :
- A mediocre automatic management of the fans and without AI which is surprising considering the high end price of the motherboard, I had to set a fixed speed on my fans from the BIOS otherwise the motherboard made them slow down and accelerate in a loop at regular intervals depending on the temperature which is very unpleasant for the ears in the long run.
- The manual is only in English and very incomplete, even the diagrams are very abstract. Given the importance of cable management in computing, where the slightest mistake can lead to severe hardware damage, it's the bare minimum to offer clear and detailed instructions in as many languages as possible. My last MSI Z270 motherboard had much more complete packaging, with a bonus storage case.
- A clearly unstable and unfinished BIOS. My mouse is not recognized in the BIOS and I had to do everything with the keyboard as in the past. Also it is not possible to update the BIOS from the internet which is possible on many other motherboards today. And finally the BIOS is hardly translated into 2020 and the few that are translated are done with google translation. So disappointing from a big multinational like Asus, I just hope it will improve with future updates.
