Cons: Has a trash bios and trash bios can’t get anything to display
Overall Review: This is a terrible board I’m going to Rma it and switch to Intel and then sell this board when it returns
Pros: I mean it don’t need any description, it has all you need!
Overall Review: Highly recommended epically if you’re doing high end AMD build

-great features including high quality applied audio
-great VRAM cooling solution
-two M.2 slots
-easy to navigate BIOS
-flashboot BIOS for fixing post/boot issues
Cons: -none at all
Overall Review: I would recommend this motherboard at this price range 10/10 times to anyone I know!
Pros: Plug and play
Cons: No PCH fan control in bios
Overall Review: I bought this board as a replacement of an MSi b450-A Pro that stroked out and it has been fantastic for the last 3 months. Unlike others who have reviewed this board I had no issues removing the screws to install my nvme drives. My only gripe is that there's no fan control for the PCH fan. And the only thing that seems pointless is the RGB on the PCH cover, you can't see it with a GPU installed, ultimately it doesn't matter...... I have plenty of unicorn vomit.
Pros: Worked great until I updated the bios and now I can’t get it to post
Cons: Seriously have more stable bios updates this is ridiculous for after 2 months of having this mobo, and to think I have a second one for a build next weekend, I’m scared to do anything with it. Followed every recommendation on the Asus faqs page, have spent hours trying flash bios, resetting, reseating everything, starting with only one ram stick and now it won’t even turn on at all. Checked the my Corsair 1000x psu in another comp works fine, ram fine, cpu is brand new with no issues. I hope I can somehow get some kind of help. Spent so much time on this build just to be disappointed by this mobo, have never encountered so many problems with and Asus mobo, and this was so highly rated but found out through searching that many people had to return for a replacement. Started with OD then 02 error codes then just wouldn’t even boot.
Overall Review: Check for bios issues with the Asus mobo before buying, many are experiencing these problems.

Overall Review:
Every computer I built in the last 20 years was built on Asus motherboards, but I have never had such a love/hate relationship as with this motherboard. On one hand, this is a great feature motherboard with much of the pros listed above. I particularly love the BIOS flashback feature and the LCD error code display. It saved me many hours of frustration dealing with some of the Cons.
The two biggest complaints I have is with the PCH heatsink/fan design and the BIOS. First with the PCH heatsink, the plastic cover is completely useless. You need to remove it to install the motherboard and install m.2 SSD. This is where I encounter my first frustration. The screws holding this plastic cover is on so tight, I almost strip the screw head trying to remove it. I also noticed that with the plastic cover on, the PCH runs 3~5deg hotter and the fan spins 500~1000 rpm faster than with the plastic cover off. So I just ended up leaving it off.
On to the BIOS, first of all, I don't know why CSM doesn't coming enabled standard. I spent 30 min trying to figure out why the m.2 drive with the OS is installed doesn't show up. Secondly, I don't understand why Asus doesn't include PCH fan control as part of the BIOS option. Next frustration I encounter was when I try to upgrade the memory from 3200MHz ram to 3600MHz. I had DOCP enabled when I was on 3200MHz but when I put in the new memory, the system won't post. I have to put back the old memory, disable DOCP, install the new memory and then re-enable DOCP.

Pros: None.
Cons: After build it booted up ok, but then the Asus updated it immediately. Upon restart after update it wouldn't even post. Nothing I tried worked: reflashing bios, clearing cmos, changed memory and P/S. Nothing. I returned it a bought the Aorus x570 Master ! Great replacement!!!
Overall Review: I have benn a long time Asus fan, but now...no longer.
