Review on 💻 ASUS Prime B450M-A II AMD AM4 (Ryzen 5000, 3rd/2nd/1st Gen Ryzen Micro ATX Motherboard with 128GB DDR4, 4400 O.C., NVMe, HDMI 2.0b/DVI/D-Sub, USB 3.2 Gen 2, BIOS Flashback, Aura Sync) by Yousef Clark

Good stuff for my micro build! Fits perfectly in my Masterbox Q300L (no CD/DVD). Came out of the box with an updated bios (yes I checked on the website). Plugged my Ryzen 2600 into mobo, worked at stock speed (3.4) for the first time with my G.Skill Ram and Seasonic PSU. Fine print: Ram worked out of the box. plug and play Mobo recognized the ram at 2133, a quick bios change to 3.0 - no problems found. The same with the CPU. Closing on April 3rd Quick bios change to 3.8 - low volts and constant. I'm not an overclocker so I'm happy and simple. Finally, the standard fan is VERY QUIET and, in my case, very easy to install. Finally, finally. No CD/DVD in case I want to install Win 10 via USB. OMG - will never use a Win 10 CD again USB 3.0 is SUPER fast - even with hard drive. Windows site is very easy to create win 10 usb. Just need good win 10 code for final installation. Really, really, finally - I hate LED, PWR BS switch housing connector. Oh well . It's 2018 FFS! anything and everything The easiest assembly. OBTW: Loved the case option with the HDD on the "back" of the motherboard instead of in the drive bay - much cleaner wiring, very solid :) Pros: Robust construction, good layout, comes with an updated BIOS. Disadvantages: - front panel for the case - fur. I'm not sure if it's a mobo or case connector, but I couldn't get my front case's USB 3.0 connector to be fully compatible with my mobile phone. Works fine, just doesn't physically fit, not flush with the bottom of the connector - I think it's the case connector, not sure. Schematic on printed instructions for mobo is weak for case connectors/my old eyes. Nice device!
