Review on ASUS TUF Gaming X570-Plus AM4 Zen 3 Ryzen 5000 & 3rd Gen Ryzen ATX Motherboard with PCIe 4.0, Dual M.2, 12+2 Dr. MOS Power Stage, HDMI by Fred Maki

Upgrade from 2008 Asus Striker II. I liked this board because it was right and no frills. I was very happy to receive it and installed my Ryzen 9 x3900 processor and 32GB of DDR 4 memory. When I received it and opened the box it looked like it had just been thrown in with no packing materials. Well it worked fine. I read the BIOS and updated it using the EZ BIOS Update Utility. After that he was down the slope. The board gets stuck on the ASUS "TUF" splash screen. I took out the cmos battery, turned everything off and nada. I've been on forums dealing with this mobo and some people have encountered this problem after updating the BIOS. Not very happy about that. I am returning this item and trying another X570 module. I really wanted to like this board.
