ASUS TUF GAMING B550M-PLUS (Wi-Fi) AMD AM4 (3rd Gen Ryzen) Micro ATX Gaming Motherboard (PCIe 4.0, 2.5Gb LAN, BIOS FlashBack, HDMI 2.1, USB 3.2 Gen 2, Addressable Gen 2 RGB Header and AURA Sync)

Pros: Overall

Cons: I/O plate is hard to install

Overall Review: Good quality board, easy to build Paired with a R5 3600 and don't have issues

Pros: The pros of this board are the faster Pcie bus as I have a pcie 4.0 ssd and it is significantly quicker as my PC-Mark scores went up. I like the layout and the Asus utility installed the latest drivers flawlessly as does the wife's laptop. The wifi will be of use when I move my pc away from the bridge.

Cons: The expense of the board compared to previous 450m boards and a possible delay that I'm having with the internet connection when awakened.

Overall Review: I would certainly recommend this board for Ryzen chips that support Pcie 4 as the 570 has a cooling fan and matx boards are almost impossible to find. Please note it doesn't support older Ryzen chips!!!!

Pros: Build quality is great and was easy to install.

Cons: Not many cons beside drivers being a little difficult to install.

Overall Review: Great board just a little overpriced

Pros: Solid build quality

Cons: Drivers can be a pain to get functioning

Overall Review: Did the job for my new Ryzen build, no issues to speak of other than network drivers not working correctly initially. Would recommend if options are limited at this form factor and price point.

Pros: Great board! With the BIOS updates, it makes adjusting CPU speeds and voltage control very easy and relatively stable depending on your CPU and settings.

Cons: Forgot to check if the board has a USB3.0 Header so I need to pick up an adapter for my computer case but that's on me. There is a newer and faster USB3.2 Gen 1 front panel header that I may get cables for and update my case if I can.

Overall Review: I would recommend this to people who are looking for a stable board. I've been using TUF boards since my Z87 Gryphon days.

Pros: Looks nice, industrial appearance Rgb corner is neat for visual appeal Robust construction, lots of heat sinks

Cons: Larger video cards block both pcie ports!

Overall Review: I like the board! I think price may be a little on the higher side, but the construction is really solid. Bios works well. Coming from my last build which was about a decade old this is a huge upgrade.

Pros: Purchased this board and was very excited bc I had waited for the B550 chipset. Built on it, turned on PC, BIOS looked great, and then installation of windows failed at product key. (Frozen) Unfortunately made the mistake of purchasing incompatible RAM/SSD for this board. PC Part Picker did not notify me of the incompatibilities. If you’re going to purchase this board, search the Asus site first to make sure your parts are compatible.

Overall Review: I gave 4 egg review bc I had to wait quite awhile before I could get this board and now I have to wait again to handle these other issues. I guess this is normal when new tech gets released. Hopefully someone can learn from my mistakes.

Pros: B550 chipset microATX wifi, 4 pCIe slots lots of room to work and install coolers without obstruction

Cons: lower PCIe slot shares bandwidth with second M.2 and an upper small slot. It's an OK compromise given the huge bandwidth of PCIe3 but it is a limitation when you have a board without room for a number of slots.

Overall Review: definitely a good choice for a small build
