Review on Motherboard ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING WIFI II by Mateusz Strach ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I do not cease to rejoice at the purchase, a very good deal!

So, let's start with the fact that I am an unbiased user, I chose a board for the Ryzen R5 1600, my criteria were: a neutral color, preferably black (because the wall is transparent on the case), 4 slots for RAM for a possible upgrade in the future and the presence modern ports on the interface panel (thank eggs there are no ancient PS / 2 and other antique rubbish here) 2 USB 3.1, 4 USB 3.0, 2 USB 2.0 as for me the ideal ratio at the moment. For all the above requirements, it satisfies me. I read already existing reviews here . buggy bios . People, yes, asus has the coolest bios at the moment, as for me, firstly, the bios itself is ated via the Internet with one button (! ), and secondly , well xs what problems everyone has with overclocking, my percent took 3.7 even with reduced voltage, and the dual-rank memory ran from 2666 to 2800 without changing the timings and voltage, and in order to take 3k I had to do a little magic, but for dual-rank I think it's buzzing. I did not monitor the temperatures of the VRM zone, but the motherboard itself is kept at 30-33 degrees. And now about my quibbles: the first is the power diode, it burns orange brightly enough to strain. I think this is solved by soldering, or corny stuffing it with something, but my hands won’t reach it) And the second nitpick, this is RGB backlight, firstly, to turn it on in the proprietary ASUS AURA, I had to dance with a tambourine, there during installation on some . dll files, it was necessary to either put a tick or remove it, in life I would not have known this if I had not googled it. And secondly, personally, my video card just closes all this beauty with RGB, not completely of course, but definitely an important part. And so, I can safely recommend this motherboard for purchase.

Pros
  • - Appearance - Price - Build quality and materials - Connectors on the interface panel
Cons
  • To be honest, I didn’t find such shortcomings in it, rather nit-picking, so I can’t write them down in this section, I’ll describe them below.
