BEST SELLERS

In AMD Motherboards

Plenty of m.2 slots for matx Plenty of fan and argb headers Looks really good for the price point

This is a solid and reliable motherboard. I've had no compatibility issues with either the RAM or the CPU. It offers all the features I need for my setup, and the boot times are noticeably faster compared to a Gigabyte board I own.

-The build quality is good, pcie 5 support -Simplistic design -Plenty of connectors and headers extra components -Sufficient and fast I/O interfaces -Decent WiFi 7 support, comes with antena -I/O shield pre installed -Comes pre-configured with best optimization for AMD Ryzen 9000 series

After 18 years of great service, my old ASUS 4 core AMD CPU motherboard died in my old custom HTPC after being unable to support some of its USB ports, and I decided it was time to build at least one new computer. This ROG STRIX B650-A looked to be a good deal and had everything I expected for a better than average build. After such a long time there was a learning curve, but I had modified Win 11 Pro some years back to run on my four pre UEFI BIOS computers - so I'm still somewhat capable even at 73. I worked slowly and methodically installing the board in a new Silverstone GD10B shelf case with a Seasonic FOCUS GX750 PSU, with an AMD Ryzen 5 8600G series processor and some new Corsair DDR5 PC6400 (2x16GB Vengeance RGB sticks - that weren't in the ASUS QVC listing). I reused my old Samsung 256 GB SSD and a Western Digital Purple 1 TB storage drive. I then download and burned a Win 11 Pro 23H2 ISO and installed the latest ASUS BIOS to a 32GB USB memory stick. This case is tight, but cable management worked well, and I had no problem mounting my ASUS BlueRay Dual Layer SATA burner drive, the 2.5 SATA SSD and the 3.5 SATA hard drive. First power up was uneventful as I watched the Aura lighting come on with the diagnostic lights showing correct operation. My SSD still had my modified pre UEFI WIN 11 Pro loaded and BIOS would not show a bootable drive but did show the drives as storage. I loaded the WIN 11 Pro ISO in my disc drive and Win 11 Pro loaded in 17 minutes. WiFi and Ethernet came Online and the computer ran so quiet I found myself looking at it repeatedly just to see if it was still on despite my HDMI monitor's screen. I then inserted the memory stick into the BIOS USB with the new .CAP BIOS with the computer turned off. I held the button in for three seconds for three flashes on the BIOS FlashBack and it ran for 4 minutes to completion. I then loaded all the ASUS utilities and used them to update some of the drivers with zero issues. I then hit activation for WIN 11 Pro and purchased a digital license from Microsoft. After activation, I made sure WIN 11 Pro was fully updated which added even more features. Once this was done, I re-entered the ASUS Armoury Crate utility and used it to further update all ASUS and AMD drivers. This PC runs very cool and extremely quiet using the three included case fans and CPU fan at 900-1000 RPM. 31-35 C. CPU cores and it still hasn't been running long enough to burn in the factory AMD Wraith Stealth cooler to the CPU. The PSU fan is also so quiet I had to look just to see if its fan was on (Seasonic has a back button that will turn it off).

Works perfectly with 9800x3d

Plenty of fan headers placed in great spots for connecting fans, water cooling pump/radiator, etc. Wi-Fi 7 (For Windows 11 only) GPU quick release lever USB-C Front and Rear suppport Wi-Fi Antennas are slim (a clearance issue with Tower 300) NvME secure posts are clasps built into the board, a nice touch and no worrying about tiny screws being lost NvME Heat Sinks with Thermal Pads

It was very easy to setup, the BIOS comes with an easy mode to toggle, has a nice color and sleek design to it.

Works as advetised

7 PCIe slots Built like a tank Good cooling X16 on all PCIe slots Includes quality 4x NVME SSD PCIE4 x16 card (splits each nvme into x4) I put in RAID with Samsung 980 1tb Pros

I haven't built a PC since 2017 so this one is a huge upgrade from that era. It's also my first Gigabyte/Aorus product and have had no issues getting it up and running with a 9800x3d and 64gb Corsair RAM with expo enabled. I haven't really tinkered with it nor needed to. Stable, cool, and quiet in all stress-testing and gaming. -Tons of connectivity -Fan headers all over -Solid, well-built, and has massive heatsinks -Classy and subtle RGB -Great looking board for a white/cold looking build, though my air cooler blocks half the view

Worked with my 5800x CPU without a bios update. Fit nicely in my case (Zalman). Easy to connect and insert other components (Memory, CPU cooler, M.2 drive 6600 GPU) Doesn't feel flimsy or fragile. Posted and booted on the first try. The Bluetooth is awesome

- Many USB ports - BIOS flashback - Looks good

Honestly, I purchased this product due to its small form factor and numerous features. Its a bit overkill for what I need but its great. I was worried the HIVE may not have been a good idea but its a niche novelty. The light features during boot allows for quicker troubleshooting(assuming you can remember what each color means without looking it up each time LOL) and ports allow quick input for external usb-based storage and peripherals.

The motherboard worked perfectly right from the start. Caveat - I did flash the latest BIOS into it before loading Windows. I am using a Ryzen 9 9900X and initially used the internal gpu. Later when I installed the graphics card the motherboard recognized it immediately and adjusted accordingly. Due to heat problems I have not done any overclocking, but it looks easy enough. Trivial, but I really like the installation clip for M.2 SSD.

It has a great motherboard, I recommend it. The wifi signal is great as well. Worth your money! please don't get a budget motherboard when u have this!

* Bios is fully-featured with things I don't understand! But I was able to get my DRAM timings to 3200 (the warranty-able limit for my Ryzen 5900X * Works with the Ryzen 5900X * Came pre-flashed to the bios (F13) allowing for Ryzen 5000 series (yay!) * No fuss AM4 setup, installed cooler with no issues... RAM had no clearance issues, etc. * Windows 10 installed everything without me having to do anything extra. Neat!

-Easy to use BIOS -Great for all white aesthetic -Plenty of USB/RGB headers for clean cables
