It has everything plus WiFi
Design, layout, 5g ethernet, easy set up, VRMs
Cool color scheme, steel grey. Not too many annoying RGB lights. Just soft backlighting. Bios is easy to navigate once you get over not being able to use backspace or esc keys. Just hit tabs to go back. Heatsink for M.2 does the trick. M.2 slots are easy to get at with the little turnbuckle latch. Tricky at first. Runs cool. More than enough USB. Connections were easy to find and layout is well designed.
Tons of ports, good locations for plug-ins for cable management, helpful labels on most inputs
- PCIE 5.0 x 16 for next gen GPUs & PCIE 5.0 x 4 for M.2 slots - Wifi 7 - Beefy heatsinks including M.2 heatsink with thermal pads accommodating single & dual sided SSDs - Looks great
Performance outsurpasses a moderate gamers needs The GPU quick release is clutch if you like to swap parts quickly (note: see cons) Clean look, RGBs are a nice touch Plenty of 2.0 headers, RGB headers ASUS Bios is very easy to use
It's a pretty long motherboard and I was able to use the top pcie slot and bottom pcie slot. I like the ability to flash the bios using the back i/o and the good-performing networking. Had an issue trying to get the ram in sufficiently but did after some effort. I like the easy plug and unplug for gpu and the easily removed cover for the first m.2 slot.
Got it on sale. Has 4 ram slots and WiFi built in already. Argb headers are nice
Basically plug n play with a Ryzen 7 9700x. Did not have to update any BIOS. Plugged everything in and turned it on. Using the EXPO profile for the RAM was super easy.
Excellent I/O selection, including USB4 and front USB-C Clean white design, great for themed builds Robust VRM, handles high-end CPUs well EZ Flash made the BIOS update effortless Great number of ARGB and fan headers for customization. Didnt have to use my controller.
Plenty of M.2 Slots Decent VRMs to get high clock on CPU and Memory Great I/O
Has the I/O I want Like the build quality Price to performance preferred
Has everything I wanted/needed for this upgrade. Using the included heatsinks, NVMe drives are running about 5 degrees C lower than on old board using its heat sinks.
No GPU lane sharing when using multiple M.2 slots 20+2+1 VRM design Backplate Great value for the price point versus higher SKUs WiFi 7 with antenna and Bluetooth 5.4 Robust 8 layer PCB
I purchased with no reviews on any of the B850 boards as a gamble. But I don't use alot of the same features as others for there mobo use cases. Easy to set memory overclock, wifi antenna works great. Router is 3 rooms away and I can pick up no problem and get 350mps on a 400mps plan. Definitely use it if your using a bluetooth controller, most people forget your antenna is half wifi, half wifi/bluetooth.
Works well, seems stable. Lots of adjustability for the 'bios' settings for adjusting power and frequency, etc.
No screws and extremely easy to install
Easy to setup, instructions very clear BIOS management is a snap
3 nvme slots Good wireless Like UEFI bios, upgrading from circa 2010 lol
- one of the best am5 white/silver motherboard - WIFI 7 - rgb dragon -bluethooth 5.4 - usb 4 -5g lan -thooless m.2 installation - ez gpu relase buttom - Post code debug - silvery/white colored - Great I/O connectivity
