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.

Installation was successful immediately. Bios upgrade also a snap, just to ensure full compatibility with Ryzen 7 CPU. No compatibility issues I had with Asus mboard with same chipset.
Works great with the 9800x3d

I still have more testing to do but so far it has been a nice upgrade

Incredible 5 x m.2 slots that AND No lane sharing with the primary GPU slot... this was something I for sure wanted, and not all boards offer, even some of the higher end ones. Amazing value considering some of the dizzying prices on other "premium" boards. Easy Installation - rock solid performance since installing my 9800x3d processor with it.
I started this journey by purchasing a ram upgrade for a Z370 motherboard (the same one being offered with this board). I then saw this particular deal come and go, and ended up buying a combo deal with board and processor which pretty much considered the ram price in the total discount for the combo. So I'm running the ram, i5-2600k processor, and this board in my system now. Reading the reviews I was worried about potential problems. Also, I've never owned a Gigabyte board. Had my fun with Asus, Asrock, Aopen, Tyan, but never Gigabyte. Also, I was upgrading without installing Windows 11 from scratch. I was surprised at how well things went with the board replacement, and so far I've had NO problems. Everything just worked. New board booted up without issue on my rig.
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.
Easy set up. No issues. I didn't use the Gen5 SSD at the moment and only use Gen4 SSD's. Hopefully in the near future there will be more options better suited for it to use alongside different manufacturer sales. Yes, it's all about the costs. But it's there when wanted as time goes by.
Works well, seems stable. Lots of adjustability for the 'bios' settings for adjusting power and frequency, etc.
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.
-Zero issues -All black -Good price
