ASUS ROG Strix B450-F Gaming II AMD AM4 (3rd Gen Ryzen) ATX Gaming Motherboard (8+4 Power Stages, HDMI 2.0b/DP, 2 x PCIe 3.0 x16, USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type A, USB Type-C, BIOS FlashBack, 256MB BIOS Flash ROM, AI Noise Canceling Microphone)

Pros: stable ARGB...have did not dive into it yet. Asus Miscellaneous stuff

Cons: Nothing so far.

Overall Review: Just like the title said...replacing my GIGABYTE GA-AX370-Gaming (rev. 1.0) with ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING II, because of flakiness(randomly bluescreen). Also, I have not had one blue screen since I replace the motherboard.

Pros: Updating bios was easy. did boot up out of box with my ryzen 3600

Cons: Memory won't run at rated speed, but could be a memory problem. ( corsair vengeance LPX 2x16

Overall Review: Everything I use on board is working fine. I would recommend.

Pros: It worked very well until the 3rd day. I had the video card connected to the theater system using HDMI for sound and video and had excellent picture and sound quality. Then suddenly the TV went to a blank blue screen and the sound went dead. HDD light showed the system was still running. Rebooted, swapped with known good video card, no change. Appears the PCI port just died.

Cons: Besides it died? I couldn't find any way to control the aura LEDs other than them being on/off. My 970 Aura board gives me complete control.

Overall Review: Never had a problem with ASUS products, but for everything there is a first time. Now the 3 week long process of returning the MB and having a replacement sent. Glad I kept the old MSI MB and was able to reinstall it.

Pros: Not happy

Cons: Not happy

Overall Review: Super mad that they sent me a asus tuf b450 that was broken and wasnt even the right product that I ordered .... Im not happy and wont be buying here again

Pros: none

Cons: does not work

ASUS support suggested updating BIOS. Updated BIOS to 4204. Problem has not fixed. I have an extremely unhappy Wife!!!!!!

Overall Review: Just set it up yesterday once i got my cpu, was really easy to install and looks great, the bios was a little tricky at first but i figured it out. The only thing i didnt like was the giant newegg logos on the box it came in, it sat on my doorstep for a few hours.

Pros: I thought it was a good purchase.

Cons: It was not a good purchase. Less than one day running and FOUR out of Six SATA ports died.

Overall Review: I am very disappointed with this motherboard. I had the system up and running with four hard drives, two were Samsung SSD and two were WD 3.5 drives. Everything was running fine and then just like that... it wasn’t. System wouldn’t boot, I started troubleshooting by unplugging the drives and finally got it to boot up by unplugging two of the HD’s. Plugged them back in and the system didn’t recognize them. I tried two separate SATA ports and still nothing. I finally tried swapping out with the last two SATA ports and they worked. So, four out of six SATA ports stopped working in less than a day.

Pros: Runs great. The bios is from 08/18/2020 on this one. Easy setup. That being said...

Cons: The only problem I can see is they put the main M.2 slot above where the video card goes in and it is close. The heat from the video card raises the temps on the M.2 by at least 10 degrees.

Overall Review: Great MB but fix where the slot is for the M.2. If you do not use A M.2 then it will not matter.
