Review on ๐ŸŽฎ ASUS TUF Gaming B550-PLUS AMD AM4 Zen 3 Ryzen 5000 & 3rd Gen Ryzen ATX Gaming Motherboard with PCIe 4.0 and HDMI 2.1 by Shug Quinn

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Good motherboard but not for the 5000 series.

Overall it's a good motherboard but I'm deducting 2 stars for false advertising. The motherboard I received was NOT flashed for use with my Ryzen 7 5800x. On startup I got stuck on "Press DEL or F2 to open BIOS" and nothing happened when I pressed any of those keys. After lots of hardware troubleshooting, it turned out that when I returned to my Ryzen 5, it started fine. The ASUS EZ Flash made the update very easy and took 5 minutes, but it would save me a lot of trouble if I knew how to start that way. If you don't have an old processor handy to upgrade, don't buy this motherboard.
