Review on 🔥 ASUS ProArt B550-Creator AMD (Ryzen 5000/3000) ATX Motherboard: Thunderbolt 4, PCIe 4.0, Dual M.2, Dual 2.5 Gb LAN, DisplayPort/HDMI, USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A/C, RGB Headers by Brent Peterson

In general I am very happy with this board. It has a good feature set and seems stable so far. The only complaint I have is with the two PCIe x1 slots. They share the bandwidth with a second M.2 slot. If you have two M.2 SSDs, which most developers have, you cannot use either PCIe x1 slot without changing the second M.2 slot to PCIe x2 mode. This reduced the performance of my Samsung 970 EVO+ by 50%, which the test confirms. If you manually switch the 2nd M.2 port to x4 mode in BIOS, both PCIe x1 slots will be disabled. This is important to know as most authors use both M.2 slots and expansion slots for GPU, video capture, etc. Because of this issue and the cost of the board, I only gave it 4 stars. I will come back to update the review if I have any further issues with the board. I still recommend the board, but only if you don't need to use any of the PCIe x1 slots for expansion OR only need one of the M.2 slots.
