ASUSTUF Gaming B450-PLUS II AMD AM4 Ryzen 5000 ATX Motherboard With DDR4 4400(O.C.), HDMI 2.0b, USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, BIOS Flashback, AI Noise Cancelling Mic

Great older AMD mb mb was easy to work with and it didn't take me long to set up and install. Flashed bios then installed everything in case. I did have to add a pcie network card but that was nothing.

Although I had no pressing need to do it, I decided to upgrade my desktop to a Ryzen 5600X CPU and I chose this B450 board mainly because its BIOS flashback feature, 256MB BIOS chip and price (for me the premium that the B550/X570 boards offer is a complete waste of money, I recommend to use that on any other component you might need or want). In my case, from my previous build I kept the case/chassis, drives and RX 5600XT graphic card.In order to get a system POST I had to upgrade the BIOS to Version 2807, but the process was simply and took about 4-5 minutes; RAM was recognized without issues (I got a TEAMGROUP T-Force Dark Z 2x16GB Kit). After that I was able to get into the BIOS I changed two things:1) Enabled the DOCP profile for the RAM in order to have it running at 3200Mhz2) Enabled secure boot in order to use GPT on Windows 10Then, I installed Windows, it took a matter of minutes and everything was recognized without issues but I suggest to install the latest chipset drivers from AMD; I installed the OS on a M.2 drive and after the system is turned on Windows loads in just about 10-11 seconds, everything works flawlessly.So far I haven't had any issues, I'm very happy with the board and the general performance of the system, I don't plan to make any overclocking besides what I did to the RAM.

Nice board, gets the job done

Cant beat it for the price. Works with Ryzen 3000 and 5000 out of the box. Has a little subtle rgb light at the bottom right. Have this paired with a Ryzen 5 3600x and RX 6700xt. The only thing bad I have to say is the IO shield is extremely flimsy and buckles away from the case.

I haven't had any real issues with this motherboard so far. Looks alright in my case. I'm not a huge fan of the overall appearance of this board but the RGB lighting on the side is a nice touch of color.I had an issue with my previous board where the CPU slot broke and it wouldn't snap into place anymore, so I needed a decent budget board to replace it. And I didn't want to break my bank because I was doing a huge upgrade on parts already.My only issue with this board is that I couldn't fit both the fans in my case for my Noctua NH-D15 cooler. One fan does okay, but I could be getting cooler temps than I currently am if not for that. But overall, it's decent. If it wasn't so affordable, I probably would have opted for something else that had the clearance for my second fan.My computer specs for reference:PC Case: Fractal Focus GCooler: Noctua NH-D15 chromax.Black (middle fan only)CPU: Ryzen AMD 3900XGPU: Aorus RTX 3060RAM: Corsair Vengeance 24 GB (3 sticks)

MSI board suddenly died so trying this Asus board as all the parts are fine. Booted right up and just finished the bios update. My error for looking at the box, it was not the right box. After a day of looking at how to videos on how the flash (even though I have 2 other Asus board I've flashed), reading forums, flashback, different dongles, then realizing that the box might not be right and it wasn't Great board so far running windows 11 Pro. Ryzen 2700x, Vega 56, 32gb ram. I love this setup, I've gotten many of my record survival times on l4d2 with this computer.

Bought to replace a lower-end board that kept giving me BSODs every day. This thing is Beefy. It felt much heavier and sturdier and higher quality than the MSI motherboard I was using. The BIOS was super easy to upgrade and now I can run a Ryzen 5000 series CPU (when I can afford it). So now I'm running a Ryzen 5 2600 CPU, AMD RX580 8GB GPU and 32GB of DDR4 3600 ram. I really like that I can change the speed of the RAM in the BIOS. I don't OC, so no clue as to how that works. Overall a great board and would buy again.
