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 Mario Madden

Revainrating 4 out of 5

BIOS settings are ignored.

UPDATE: This board has a dreaded "USB bug" even in the latest BIOS available. If you use USB devices, be aware that you will need to disconnect and reconnect them quite often. This primarily affects my mouse and Schiit Modi 3. It's very annoying having to crawl under the table to find out about it. Score changed from 3 to 1. Attention buyers. The BIOS seems to be updated frequently, but Asus has been known to drop support after next-gen devices are released. This motherboard also hates my CPU fan. I'll keep throwing errors that the fan isn't working when it clearly is, and even show the RPM in the BIOS. Disabling the fan monitor/alert makes no difference as it still throws an error when posting. This is a classic example of Asus' inconsistent functionality. My old MSI had no problems with it. Speaking of inconsistent functionality, disabling the nonsensical RGB LEDs in the BIOS doesn't really do anything. They're still relevant no matter what. Another Asus product that made me wonder why I'm still buying their junk.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Some small things
