Review on ๐ŸŽฎ ASUS ROG Strix B550-E Gaming AMD AM4 3rd Generation Ryzen ATX Gaming Motherboard with PCIe 4.0, NVIDIA SLI, WiFi 6, 2.5Gb LAN, 14+2 Power Stages, and USB 3.2 Type-C by Saumeen Shamoon

Revainrating 4 out of 5

This is a mobo; Contains details but I love the ASUS AI Suite software

Has the features I need . Supports 4 RAM sizes, can use Crossfire/SLI if I want to do that in the future. The AI suite that comes with the mobo alone is worth it. Simple BIOS update, fan profiles, simple CPU overclocking, etc. There are a few pins on the back of the mobo that ASUS should cut off as they can interfere with aftermarket cooling accessories. I installed an Enermax AIO and luckily the pins don't interfere with the backplate. However, I am concerned that my phone will short out if the foam on the back goes bad. WIFI seems a bit finicky at times. I have installed all the latest drivers and my computer is connected to the network. Sometimes the WiFi just cuts out and I have to go back in and reconnect to my router. In the future I might study the aftermarket map to see if I have better luck.

Pros
  • Ultimate personalization: ASUS exclusive Aura Sync RGB lighting including RGB headers and 2 addressable RGB Gen 2 headers for more customization
Cons
  • Crumpled
