Excellent feature set for B550 motherboard

High specification for B550 motherboard. I bought this for the 5600X and it had to be flashed before I could use it. The BIOS flashback function worked flawlessly, so I quickly got to work. The layout worked well for me, and the wiring was pretty easy. Closer to the center of the board is the fan controller, which I didn't use since I have a case with a glass panel. The only thing I've had trouble with so far has been the network. Sometimes the ethernet port stops working and I have to restart my computer to get it working again. Strangely, when I use the "Shut down" function in Windows 10, it doesn't fix the problem and often freezes. When I use the "Reset" button on the case, it reboots and the network works again. I don't know enough to narrow this down to a motherboard issue versus a Win 10 Pro issue. Otherwise it's a good motherboard. I like the BIOS and the look of the board. I had no trouble bumping the RAM up to 3600MHz with a push of a button.

Pros
  • High performance gaming network: Built-in WiFi 6 (802.11ax), Bluetooth V5. 1 and 2. 5Gb LAN with ASUS LANGuard
Cons
  • Low set
