Revainrating 5 out of 5

Feel free to buy, for such a price, the quality is simply amazing.

I chose a motherboard based on the b550 chipset due to the lack of a fan in comparison with the x570, but at the same time the presence of all the main features: PCIe 4.0, overclocking, the ability to upgrade for a future generation of processors. As a result, the choice fell on this model from asus, for the most part because of the high-quality performance of the power circuits and the implementation of a good sound system, which is either worse or simply mediocre for most competitors in this price segment. In general, I am satisfied with the purchase: there were no difficulties during assembly, the motherboard copes well with loads, it does not overheat even in stress tests, so far there are no complaints about the work.

Pros
  • 1. Stability and overclocking potential in the form of a 12 + 2-phase power supply system, 6-layer textolite, cooling. 2. Intuitive and user-friendly BIOS interface with a large number of settings. 3. Very solid sound system and codec. 4. Other goodies: BIOS ate directly from a flash drive via USB BIOS flashback; the presence of radiators on m.2 slots, Aura Sync for the corresponding peripherals; firmware
Cons
  • 1. One connector for Aura Sync was not enough. If you plan to install a lot of case fans with 3pin argb backlighting, it's better to think about splitters right away. 2. Not quite an adequate price for the b550 chipset
