Question 2

Will this work with my ryzen 5 3600 out the box?

Accepted Answer

I bought this motherboard 3 months ago with a Ryzen 7 3700x and it worked out of the box. No need to update bios! The motherboard box will say "Ryzen 3000 series ready"

I believe any new board sold will already be updated and ready since these processors have been out for a while now.

Question 3

does this come with a I/O Shield?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Mine did and it is uncommon for a new boards to not come with one. This listing shows the i/o shield in the images and has it listed in the "Package Contents" one the specs tab.

Question 4

will this motherboard work with ryzen 5 1600af?

Accepted Answer

Yes it does, you can check Asus’s website on the compatible CPU’s for this motherboard, but to save you the time - AMD Ryzen 5 1600AF is compatible with this motherboard.

Question 5

Can this MB boot Win 10 Pro from a Samsung 970 EVO with AMD Ryzen 5 3400G w/graphics?

Accepted Answer

I have it booting from Win 10 home with a 3200G and Samsung 970 EVO. Works just fine. I had a second 970 EVO in there that wasn't seen by the OS. I didn't know you need to go into disk management, format the drive, then set a partition. Again, this was for the second drive. The M.2 slots run at different speeds, so I would only install 1 slot first, get the OS installed on that slot, then add the second slot later.

Question 6

Does it have TPM 2.0 and is it compatible with win 11?

Accepted Answer

Check ASUS's official BIOS firmware page - version 3202 (June 2021) and onward supports Windows 11.

Question 7

what is the wattage for it?

Accepted Answer

Do you mean how many watts does the motherboard consume under full load? It is a decent rule of thumb to rate your power supply for CPU + GPU + 100W for everything else (mobo, 1-2 HDD, optical drive, and 2-4 sticks of RAM).

Question 8

Is this 6.7 X 6.7?

Accepted Answer

Don't understand the question.

Question 9

does it come with wifi?

Accepted Answer

No wifi is an add on  ,

Question 10

Has anyone used this board with the new BIOS from the ASUS support site to make it compatible with the Ryzen 5000 series, specifically the Ryzen 5 5600X?

Accepted Answer

Personally No ,,  But if you go to the Asus support page for the MoBO it will tell you what chips are supported by which Bios version and you can determine if you need to flash your board or no
