Perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

I took this motherboard on Ali for 7400. And I took the 5800X3D processor for it for 29 Satisfied with the performance. The motherboard overclocked the processor to 4400 MHz, and it worked fine, but in the stress test it heated up to 83 degrees. I had to lower the frequency to 4000 MHz, and the system unit became quiet. Naturally, I cool it all with dropsy. I hope this processor will last for ten years.

Pros
  • Drives 5800X3D up to 4400 MHz and works stably
Cons
  • The RAM has an XMP profile of 3733 MHz, with CL19 timing. But for some reason, in fact, the motherboard sets the timing to CL20. I'll try manually lowering the timing in the bios

A good product, more pros than cons.

Some pros: matx format, latest chipset, Ryzen 7 2700 started up, it works, no problems. Some cons: The chipset has a very small heatsink, consisting of two thin plates. The only thing that I didn’t like was that if it gets very hot, it will be a “dump”.

Front USB 3.0 header fell off motherboard

Overall I like this board and it has all the key specs I was looking for: 2.5GB LAN, WiFi, 4 RAM slots, 2 PCIe Slots and 2 m.2 slots Problem with the pin guide on the USB 3.0 port on the motherboard because when I tried to unplug the front I/O connectors the pin guide came off along with the cable, I've never been on this before bumped into it and after a few minutes I was able to adjust it and put it back on the motherboard without bending the pins, but it appears to be a quality control issue

Pros
  • Please ensure your BIOS is up to date when installing a compatible Ryzen 5000 series processor. BIOS and Firmware" to download the latest BIOS.
Cons
  • For old

Placa de Gama Media Con rendimiento de Gama Alta.

Realmente estoy impresionado con esta placa base de Asus. Fueron muchas las razones por las cuales me decidí por ella y para que sirva de ayuda para los compradores las enumero a continuación.1. B550 chipset for AMD Ryzen 5000.2 processors. An excellent solution for the Micro-ATX.3 format. The Wi-Fi module is installed. Realmente por este precio it muy difícil encontrar un modelo con wifi en el mercado.4. Reinforce Puertos de Conexion and Inclusion of Puerto USB typeo c.5. Digital optical…

Pros
  • Industry-leading gaming audio and AI noise-cancelling microphone technology: High-quality audio from the SupremeFX S1220A codec with DTS Sound Unbound and Sonic Studio III takes you deeper into the action. Communicate loud and clear with ASUS AI Noise Canceling Mic technology.

Good feature set but almost unusable

Pros: - Two NVMe slots, both support PCIe (the second one goes through the chipset) - Good VRMs with large heatsinks. Moderate overclocking abilities - Intel Wifi 6 and Bluetooth 5 works on Linux "out of the box" - Good sound chipset with no line noise on analog jacks Cons: - Doesn't work well on Linux "out of the box" until all CPU power saving is disabled - LAN chipset is not supported on Linux without a 5.9 kernel (sorry Ubuntu 20.04 users) - BIOS updates reset settings to default for a…

Pros
  • High performance gaming network: WiFi 6 (802.11ax), 2.5Gb LAN with ASUS LANGuard
Cons
  • Functionality

I am satisfied, the purchase is quite successful.

It copes well with r9 3900 at 4.1 on all cores at 1.81V, provided that the upper case fan blows heat from the power supply radiator. Just pissed off the search for a working driver for sound! NOTHING works in the standard driver from the asus website! As a result, I found the AAF DCH Optimus Sound option, which solved most of the problems. The front panel works as a separate device when configured from the screen.

Pros
  • Convenient form factor. There is almost no backlight. Two M2 ports.
Cons
  • The monstrous ALC1200 codec. It's a strange decision that the radiator is only on the second port of M2, which does not work from the processor, although I did not notice a difference in speed between the ports.

Terrible quality, disappointed with the purchase.

This is some kind of nightmare, they paid for the goods on December 28th. Delivery was supposed to be January 5th. As a result, on the day of delivery they write that they do not have time and within 48 hours they will send a new date. After the expiration of the specified period, a new delivery date was not sent. I called operators, to the store itself and everywhere there was one answer: “we don’t know where the goods are, wait. And how long can they expect to answer and how to understand…

Pros
  • Did not have time

Practical product, nothing to complain about.

I chose an ASUS product, since all motherboards were of this brand. Plus, I was attracted by a good price compared to competitors What are the three main benefits of the product? The advantages include the latest b550 chipset, which allows you to install the third generation Ryzen on the zen 3 architecture refined than the x570 and cheaper, making it a great buy. I will be really happy with this motherboard when I put a zen 3 processor in it and thereby unlock the potential. I will add a review

Pros
  • Price, matx format, latest chipset
Cons
  • no heatsink on m2 PCI-E 4.0. It can also be attributed to the minuses, but rather not asus, but amd, on the b 550 there is no support for younger generations. which would make it the flagship for processors of past generations. and older generation zen 3 processors have not been released.

A really necessary purchase, I'm glad I found this product.

Didn't find any driver issues. Everything started up and works stably. While I ride Hong Kong 5600G. And two bars of 3200 with SSD. Temperatures are normal. Guard upgrade. When ating the BIOS, pay maximum attention to the model prefix-suffix M, PLUS and the like, this directly affects the fact that the mother does not see firewood, although everything is very similar.

Pros
  • Functioning
