- PCI-E 5.0 support on the x16 slot for current gen GPU's that use 5.0 - 3 m.2 slots for easy expansion - Lots of IO for fans, rgb, USB, ect, more than 99% of people will ever use - Moveable antena for the wifi/bluetooth is nice (my previous board had just 2 that stuck out and couldn't be moved, so it sometime struggled to pick up my bluetooth keyboard) - I got it for a pretty good deal for a B850 board that won't blow up CPUs - 10$ steam code included with purchase is a nice bonus - I really liked the mounting mechanism for the 4x4 m.2 slot, it's easy to use and removes the need to mess around with tiny screws - WiFi 7 & 5 gig lan at this price point is really nice

Plenty of options for top end setups

It is the cheapest motherboard I could find it also is the best quality one to which is surprising.

- Board looks very sleek in a nearly all black color - XMP profile for my ram worked instantly with no issues whatsoever. - Big fan of the ability to clear CMOS / flash the bios from the back, very premium - MSI game boost offers an easy CPU overclock option, worked effortlessly

Purchased this motherboard as part of a combo, including RAM and CPU. Unfortunately, it would not post. Initiated an RMA, sent the board back via a prepaid shipping label. Received a new motherboard and it works great, and it matches well with the memory and Ryzen CPU. Excellent service from Newegg.

- Easy install - Nice BIOS - Multiple Gen 3.2 USB

I was able to boot with a i7 14700 out of the box which surprised me. I was able to update the BIOS with an "unsupported CPU" out of the box. Board manufacturing date of 2023-04 so BIOS wasn't even close for 14th gen CPU support.

After 18 years of great service, my old ASUS 4 core AMD CPU motherboard died in my old custom HTPC after being unable to support some of its USB ports, and I decided it was time to build at least one new computer. This ROG STRIX B650-A looked to be a good deal and had everything I expected for a better than average build. After such a long time there was a learning curve, but I had modified Win 11 Pro some years back to run on my four pre UEFI BIOS computers - so I'm still somewhat capable even at 73. I worked slowly and methodically installing the board in a new Silverstone GD10B shelf case with a Seasonic FOCUS GX750 PSU, with an AMD Ryzen 5 8600G series processor and some new Corsair DDR5 PC6400 (2x16GB Vengeance RGB sticks - that weren't in the ASUS QVC listing). I reused my old Samsung 256 GB SSD and a Western Digital Purple 1 TB storage drive. I then download and burned a Win 11 Pro 23H2 ISO and installed the latest ASUS BIOS to a 32GB USB memory stick. This case is tight, but cable management worked well, and I had no problem mounting my ASUS BlueRay Dual Layer SATA burner drive, the 2.5 SATA SSD and the 3.5 SATA hard drive. First power up was uneventful as I watched the Aura lighting come on with the diagnostic lights showing correct operation. My SSD still had my modified pre UEFI WIN 11 Pro loaded and BIOS would not show a bootable drive but did show the drives as storage. I loaded the WIN 11 Pro ISO in my disc drive and Win 11 Pro loaded in 17 minutes. WiFi and Ethernet came Online and the computer ran so quiet I found myself looking at it repeatedly just to see if it was still on despite my HDMI monitor's screen. I then inserted the memory stick into the BIOS USB with the new .CAP BIOS with the computer turned off. I held the button in for three seconds for three flashes on the BIOS FlashBack and it ran for 4 minutes to completion. I then loaded all the ASUS utilities and used them to update some of the drivers with zero issues. I then hit activation for WIN 11 Pro and purchased a digital license from Microsoft. After activation, I made sure WIN 11 Pro was fully updated which added even more features. Once this was done, I re-entered the ASUS Armoury Crate utility and used it to further update all ASUS and AMD drivers. This PC runs very cool and extremely quiet using the three included case fans and CPU fan at 900-1000 RPM. 31-35 C. CPU cores and it still hasn't been running long enough to burn in the factory AMD Wraith Stealth cooler to the CPU. The PSU fan is also so quiet I had to look just to see if its fan was on (Seasonic has a back button that will turn it off).

Great looking white motherboard Easy to use BIOS/Q Flash Multiple M.2 slots with EZ latch

Gen 5 support for both x16 and main nvme slots. Usb c display out support Native ryzen 9000 support

Q-flash made updating the BIOS a snap Everything on the board is well labeled, making this great to build with for a first timer Good BIOS UI

Better performing than the super cheap Gigabyte D3HP B650 bundle board it replaced with the same components. Has all the features I want. (Good VRM. Plenty of M2 slots. PCIe 5.0 for the GPU and one M2.) Nice looking. Comes with Dolby Atmos license.

-BIOS is relatively easy to navigate for minor changes like EXPO/XMP, adjusting fan curves/profiles, etc. -Top PCIe slot for mATX cases/large GPUs -USB-C in I/O -Stable with 9600x

- Looks awesome - No issues at all.

AM5 socket, ease of use, heatsink for gen 5 drive, pcie 5.0 compatible, plenty of RGB and fan/aio headers, sleek black look for black builds. USB-c on back panel, easy to use bios.

Good quality, looks great and has nice features was easy to work with an got it while it was on sale
