Price point was attractive. Plenty of fan inputs. Booted right up with AMD 7600X. Gigabyte software works fine and the update feature worked fine. Not getting the hate on this one, maybe the bios updates fixed prior issues. Wifi works fine, no disconnects.
I'm sure it's a great board for a non graphical office workstation. Edit: Easy build, very quick with 7950x, 6400 ram and 7900xt and the bios shows you how each slot is running, this set my mind at ease.
Worked flawlessly out-of-the-box with my 9800X3D Decent amount of features for the price (Debug LED, Toolless M.2 Slots, WiFi 7) Nice design, not overly flashy
Sleek looks, fantastic heat syncs, all the ports you need for a gaming build.
Premium Feel Brushed Aluminum all over Includes a case sticker Super nice motherboard for the price
1. The Biggest pro that I couldn't find with any other MOBO Manufacturer was the 2nd x16 slot runs at PCIE 4 x 4 from the chipset! This means that when using SSD's at PCIE x5 doesn't disable it! Read below to see why this is important. 2. It's a very well built and feature rich board! Save $200 from buying the HERO and get this! The HERO's extra PCIE x16 lane also is disabled when using SSD's. 3. ASUS Hit The Ball OUT of the Park on this one! Worth the Money 4. No issues with drivers and just use BIOS Flash Back USB when installing an X3D processor.
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.
Actually works, decent BIOS, OK layout, Easy driver software. Nothing really to complain about so far. No WiFi or boot issues like the board it replaced.
- Durable build - Great quality of life features: tool-less M.2 install, quick release for GPU, case I/O adapter - Reasonably price for X870
Tons of features very nice looking board booted first boot with the bundled ram bios flash went great first try and worked great. when flashing be patient it will restart a time or two just let it do its thing.
Hefty board built with premium components. Gorgeous aesthetics with tasteful RGB. The EZ M.2 and PCIe releases make assembly much simpler. M.2 heatsinks keep the board looking clean. The 5G LAN port and WIFI 7 are nice to haves for future-proofing.
- 4 NVME sockets - PCIe Gen 5.0 - No lane sharing between M.2 sockets and PCIe expansion slots - 6 SATA3 6.0 Gb/s connectors - USB4
I still have more testing to do but so far it has been a nice upgrade
Build Quality, Spec, ZERO lane sharing, PRICE
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.
I built a mini itx system for the living room in the corsair 2000d case. This board was not my first choice because of its price but the first board I bought was the Asrock a620i lightning and it would not post so I had to return it. I bit the bullet and grabbed this asus board and am happy I did. Booted right up, expo worked perfectly with my Gskill ram (30cl 6000mtps). I had heard of people having issues with the wifi on this board but mine is performing excellent. I have gigabit ethernet and am getting 500mbps on wifi from about 30ft away from my router. This board was a little overkill for what I needed but it is a quality board that I have had no issues out of so far.
Replaced my gigabyte b650e for this and all my drivers faults and usb issues went away. Thank you asus for making quality products, and thank newegg for working with me even though 30 days had past.
Great product, fast shipping
Lots of lipstick on this pig, me, I messed up the installation and now have figured out the issue on my end.
All-In-One package deal for a great price! I plan to purchase another to build a second computer for my kids to use! Another plus is that it is extremely quiet! You don't even hear the cpu fan running!
