Review on ASUS B450M PLUS Motherboard Flashback Cancelling by Corey Krull

I prefer ASUS motherboards for their quality. This is a good basic game board without much fancy built in lighting. There is only one color changing LED in one corner. I didn't want all that fancy LED lighting in a metal case, so I turned it off. The board features a Ryzen 5 1600 and a 2GB Gigabyte GTX1050 OC for low-end gaming. Storage is on a 240GB Kingston A400 M.2 SSD. The motherboard has connections for DVI-I and HDMI on the back, but the 1600 processor doesn't have integrated graphics (like the 2400G with integrated RX Vega 11); Therefore, these connectors are not used on the board. For some reason the manual doesn't list the pinouts of the F.PANEL connector for the power/reset buttons and LED indicators. I had to scan the QR code on the page to view it on the website. I see other owners have posted helpful photos of the chart. The BIOS that came with the system was old as the board could be smaller compared to other B450M boards. It was updated to the latest version on first boot (no problem booting with 1st gen Ryzen 1600 processor). The installed BIOS (1003) should support the 3rd generation Ryzen 3000 series processors that were about to be released as AGESA 072 was already installed from the previous version (1002).
