Review on 🎮 High-performance Gaming Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming B550M-PLUS (WiFi 6) AMD AM4 (3rd Gen Ryzen microATX) - PCIe 4.0, 2.5Gb LAN, HDMI 2.1, USB 3.2 Gen 2 by Kayla Mccants

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 seemingly random set of options in BIOS - good luck with the Installing Windows 10 - Installer cannot find NVMe or SATA drives even after extracting all drivers from Asus website and drive. Other thoughts: This board is inconvenient to work with. It randomly hangs when the system is idle on Linux - of any kind - be it Ubuntu, Manjaro, Live ISO releases, whatever. Disabling all power saving features was the only way to achieve stable operation. My old inexpensive $60 MSI board had no such issues with the same CPU, RAM, etc. Having issues with such recent hardware on Linux is one thing, but the lack of drivers to even install Windows is confusing. I've tried extracting everything from the disc and website to a USB stick, but the latest Windows 10 installer ISO from Microsoft's website couldn't find a compatible driver that would show the damn NVMe or SATA devices . I think you need to run them in IDE mode like 1999, but since my graphics card is UEFI only I had to give up. I can only imagine what a nightmare it must be for people building their first system.
