This is a mobo; Contains details but I love the ASUS AI Suite software

Has the features I need . Supports 4 RAM sizes, can use Crossfire/SLI if I want to do that in the future. The AI suite that comes with the mobo alone is worth it. Simple BIOS update, fan profiles, simple CPU overclocking, etc. There are a few pins on the back of the mobo that ASUS should cut off as they can interfere with aftermarket cooling accessories. I installed an Enermax AIO and luckily the pins don't interfere with the backplate. However, I am concerned that my phone will short out if…

Pros
  • Ultimate personalization: ASUS exclusive Aura Sync RGB lighting including RGB headers and 2 addressable RGB Gen 2 headers for more customization
Cons
  • Crumpled

Nearly perfect. Be careful when disconnecting cables!

First let me say that I love this board. I liked it so much that I sent the Asus X570 Hero back, which arrived the same day. It has everything I need and nothing more. Some people might not like the pink accents but in this case they are almost invisible and I think it adds some character. Wi-Fi works out of the box with no additional drivers to install, the BIOS is stable, and I was able to overclock the memory and processor to the speed I needed. The RGB software is also top notch. Can't talk

Pros
  • Optimized thermal solution: Fanless VRM and chipset heatsinks with ASUS Stack Cool 3+ design keep your system running reliably even under heavy loads by increasing the passive cooling capacity of critical onboard components.
Cons
  • The list is getting long.

USB power supply issue. Essentially DOA Strange issue with ATT router

EDIT: I'm having trouble disabling USB devices on this board. Trust me when I say I tried all possible troubleshooting methods to fix this. I ended up ordering the X570. And now, with all the same details, it works absolutely flawlessly. I'm pretty sure my problem was just an accident, but I can't recommend this board more because of that. I wanted to comment on a strange subject. I noticed that the board doesn't work over ethernet and the WiFi works fine. I've tried everything I can do in…

Pros
  • Make sure your BIOS is up to date when installing a compatible Ryzen 5000 series processor. Visit the ASUS website to search for the motherboard model name , click the Support tab, select Drivers and Tools, and then "BIOS and Firmware" to download the latest BIOS.

Really good motherboard but with a few bugs and the bios needs to be adjusted to the CPU voltage.

One thing I want to point out about this motherboard is that ASUS needs to stop setting the CPU voltage to "Auto" in the BIOS, and the same goes for other motherboard manufacturers. Pros: + Lots of features including magnetic Wi-Fi-Fi 6 antenna + Works out of the box with Ryzen 9 3900X + 2 M.2 slots with covers and mounting screws included + Good lighting design with LED strip support + Attractive and I/ O circuit with no separate backplane, a nice bonus right there. Cons: - The Ryzen 9 3900X…

Pros
  • Industry-leading gaming audio and artificial noise-cancelling microphone technology: High-quality audio from the SupremeFX S1220A codec with DTS Sound Unbound and Sonic Studio III takes you deeper into the action. Communicate loud and clear with ASUS AI Noise Canceling Mic technology.
Cons
  • Big and chunky

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…

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