I just rebuilt my Desktop PC using the Asus TUF Gaming B50-Plus as the heart of the new system and, to this point (been running 24x7 for 2 weeks) it has provided everything I could have asked for. Three M.2 drive slots (and I use all three), plenty of IO options as well as ample fan and ARGB headers. It was compatible with my Ryzan 7800X3D out of the box, without the need to update the BIOS. And it has been stable from the first power on. I went with the 650 because I don't do a lot of overclocking, but, I wanted support for DDR5 RAM<, more than 2 M.2 drives and a host of USB available. This board does not disappoint. I highly recommend this motherboard.
Bought this to add 10Gb and USB4 video out. Happy to have discovered that the built-in Radeon capability of the 7900x CPU outputs from both the HDMI port and the USB4 ports by default. Also, I have 4x16Gb of Corsair Vengeance RAM and no issues to report.
- Sturdy, premium build quality - Sleek design - Easy heat sink removal - Comprehensive BIOS
Products was easy to unpack, put in, and get up and running. Accepted all my previous stuff without a hick up. No dumb bloatware either. 1 click oc for my 9800x3d and ram. Plenty of fan and argb headers. Ezlatch system for m2 ad gpu works like a charm.
- Easy to use UEFI with DOCP setting available on the basic view. - Worked with Ryzen 5000 series out of the box. - Bluetooth.
No bloatware Lots of I/O RGB that can be turned off
Fits all the features you want in a small package -Supports USB4 -Supports Wifi7 -Lots of temp sensors on the board and temps look great all around -Tool free install on the SSD is a nice touch. -Easy connect/disconnect on the GPU/PCI slot is a nice touch. -The built in cooler for the SSD works great.
Two nvme slots, without slowing down PCIe lane. Enough USB ports for all my stuff with some extra to spare. Nice design, was worried about the white in my case (North XL black) but it worked out really well. The RGB the board has is a nice touch.
Super fast ethernet and wifi Extremely premium feel Everything is super easy to operate with ez latches for like everything Installed like any other motherboard but with cables in the back. IO shield pre-attached Super clean Good vrms
1) Very solid construction: It has quite a bit of heft to it and no flex. 2) Many features for the price: Dual LAN, USB-C, and loads of fan headers for a complete build. 3) Allows CPU to perform at its best: VRM and heatsink cooling are great and my favorite aspects of the board. The M.2 heatsinks are really nice as well.
Layout Features Wifi 4 SATA
Looks clean PCI 5 4 m.2 slots, one being fast User friendly overclock ready if you're into that Wifi 7(and it works impressively well) Tool-less m.2 design(only for the m.2 slot directly beneath the CPU Heatsinks are nicely done Plenty of USB's
Built this around the Ryzen 9 9900X CPU with 32 GB of ram. Like the manual states that when you first booting up it takes about 3 min. for the debug in the BIOS to recognize the hardware and works great. Very Pleased.
-I used this board for my first ever PC build, and it offers some great, simple features for a solid price. -PCIe 5 support is super helpful, will pair well with the new 50 series or 9070 GPUs -Easy to build with, having 3 M2 slots is great for future expansions -Plenty of USB slots -Supports my 9800x3D CPU like a dream
Ordered this MB for a Ryzen 5 3600 build. It's one of the cheapest B550 ATX motherboard you can buy. It has Wifi and bluetooth.
Improved network speed and wifi. Better slot placement than the PRO 650m A board. The pci slot for expansion cards is full length so I can use a 10G network card and it has an extra PCI-E 8 pin connector for power for PCIE 5 SSD.
Very easy to set up, manuals are all online for reference. Very intuitive, lots of options.
I was very surprised the mobo came with the latest BIOS, thank you ASROCK! I popped in my 5600g and it all just worked. No complaints and no BIOS firmware updates needed. Works with Windows 11 no issues. Super awesome!
+ Very good value, sensible board options + Heat sinks on CPU and RAM power stages + 3x ARGB headers (I never thought that would be relevant for me, but it turns out that it was) + 3x M.2 slots allowing for 4x Gen 5, 4x Gen 4, and 2x Gen 4 simultaneously + I like the BIOS, but I am very used to the ASRock layout, mostly from my X470 Taichi days
