Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very easy to get started, nice MOBO

Very easy for the first time. Paired with Ryzen's 5600x, it's amazing. With Corsair 32 gigabytes 4 slots. 8GB on each flash drive. Went to the Asus website, renamed the BIOS Flash Back from the support download, installed it on a USB drive and entered the BIOS Flash Back slot. With the PC off, I held down the BIOS button for 3 seconds and the BIOS updated without issue. I am very happy. Zen 3 performs best when all 4 RAM channels are used. Search for videos on YouTube such as B. those of Gamer Nexus. I paired it with Cooler Master's TDMESH 500 and couldn't be happier. --->>>>>> BIOS file should be named (RSB550AG.CAP)"1. Update AMD AM4 AGESA V2 PI 1.1.0.0 Patch C 2. Improve system stability 3. Improve DRAM compatibility Before running the USB Flashback tool, please rename the BIOS file (RSB550AG.CAP) with BIOSRenamer.” The above is taken directly from the ASUS support site.

Pros
  • AMD AM4 and PCIe 4.0 socket: the perfect complement for Zen 3 Ryzen 5000 and 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen processors
Cons
  • Protection
