BEST SELLERS

In AMD Motherboards

Booted on first try Was able to setup expo on my Silicon Power CL30/6000 RAM (My model was not on the QVL) A lot of LED headers if you are into that BIOS is not the fanciest but can't complain for the price. Has everything you need.

- Design, I like the all black design and heat spreaders keeping it minimal. - b850, comes with newer features like pcie 5.0, gen 5 storage, and 9000 series support - wifi, always a plus and personally I always prefer the attachable antenna instead of the little tower with a wire some motherboards use - 8 usb on back, more that enough for my peripherals - pcie 16x location, for my specific matx case, I wanted the pcie lane for the gpu to be at its highest so there would not be a extra slot between the cpu cooler and gpu - dual motherboard display output, helped me a lot when I was out a gpu and needed to use my computer with integrated graphics. -Bios, very user friendly, easy to tune ram and cpu

Lots of ports, fast, sturdy, BIOS flash was the fastest and smoothest I have ever experienced. It even recognized my 9800x3d with the original BIOS.

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.

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

Works as advetised

Workability, Usability, esthetics, was very easy to install and set up. It lets my components breathe and work to the nine without any issues. Set it up with dual boot of windows and a specially made kali linux version they did for me.

Like the motherboard features except the M2B slot hidden under the video car. Would be nice to have another USB 2.0 on the board.

Easy to build with. Perfect amount of USBs! Very Sturdy build quality. Great online manual. Amazing Audio.

this is for msi program the board look amazing so much M2 slot the ethernet 5gh is a nice add

Excellent build quality 2 M.2 slots with heatsinks USB4 ports WiFi 7 No issues with the VRM and chipset fans The HIVE means I can position the pc behind my monitor and never have to reach it to turn on the pc or plug in a usb drive

* 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

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!
