Review on ASUS ROG Strix B550-F Gaming (WiFi 6) AMD AM4 Zen 3 Ryzen 5000 & 3rd Gen Ryzen 🎮 ATX Gaming Motherboard | PCIe 4.0, 2.5Gb LAN, BIOS Flashback, HDMI 2.1, Addressable Gen 2 RGB Header, Aura Sync by Mateusz Banaszkiewic ᠌

On the Asus TUF B450, all drivers for Win7 were available on the site. They don't exist on this motherboard. Probably not relevant to anyone, but still. There is a backlight. I don't know why it's needed. Has some pros: The rear panel comes with the motherboard. I love when they do that. Compared to the TUF B450-Pro Gaming that I had before, it starts up pretty quickly (the B450 thought about 10 seconds before doing a POST), all this with a 3900X processor. Works stably with a set of memory 2x32 Gb 3200 mhz. Lots of USB ports, most of them fast. The m.2 port is located above the PCI-E port where the video card is placed, so the SSD is always available. Some cons: Not very cheap. Non-obvious drawback: 2.5 Gb Ethernet controller. Most likely, it adds some amount to the final cost, although it is not needed for free. The second point is that Windows does not have its own drivers for it, therefore, if you cling to the Internet with a wire, you will have to take care of downloading firewood from the site in advance (optical drives are already more of an anachronism than a regular occurrence).
