ASUSROG STRIX B550-A GAMING, AMD AM4, ATX, 128GB DDR4, 4DIMM, DP, HDMI, PCIE

Wow, what can i say?I ordered this to finally upgrade my AM3 system after 10 years and im in love!Even the box looks epic and has reminded my why i love buying new computer components.Asus's b650-A-Gaming wifi board is definetly a desireable bit of kit, all connectors and ports look clean and presented very nicely, one thing i wish it had is an optical port on the io plate like other models but it has the looks im after, storage options i needed, and is just purely worth it, and for the price point, i definetly cant complain!Cant wait to put it to the test and get years of use out of it now so thanks asus for keeping it cool!

It has been a while since my initial purchase and so far it has been decent motherboard. It's a nice looking motherboard, good for a white build with silver/metal accent.It is also Ryzen 5000 ready out of the box, the layout and components are definitely high quality. One thing to note is the logo does not light up as shown in the pictures, it's just a silver paint. Comes with decent amount of I/O USB port and the shield is integrated so a relatively easy installation.The only issue I have faced are the fan headers. There are only 3x Fan channel headers, one of which is right in the middle of the board next to a pump header/CPU. Very awkward placing and it should have been on the top, side or bottom. Another annoying thing is the max limit for the fan speed control, whereas it is locked and will run 100% at 75+ C. This is BIOS related but can be improved in future update. Newer Ryzen 5000 CPU can run up to 70-95C so It just means whenever the CPU temperature hits 75ish, it will ramp up all fans. This can not be changed in bios, it is a safety feature which sucks but would love to change the maximum limit higher to something like 85C instead. Ryzen 5800x or heavy OC would easily hit this temp, but for this build I am running a 5600x so not an issue provided you have decent cooling. I would love to see more ARGB headers since it only comes with one.There is hardly any white AM4 motherboards on the market and I was deciding between this or the B550 Gigabyte Vision D, but did not want to pay the extra £100 premium. As you can see, it matches well with the white theme so definitely worth considering!

Built my pc back in May, not a single issue so far, looks good in my white build too!

Absolutely magnificent BIOS, everything is straight-forward, a lot of storage possibilities not to mention just the overall look of the motherboard, looks stunning in my white gaming PC. Not a single thing wrong that I can think of and just like with any Mobo the installation was painless.

Have always liked ASUS motherboards, my old ASUS Hero board died after many long years of service, mated the ASUS ROG STRIX B550-A GAMING with The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is the fastest gaming chip available and 64g ddr ram even faster than my old motherboard, did not want to go up to DDR5 as i had plenty of DDR4 memory

Came broken, thought it was my cpu that was broken. By the time I got a new cpu I realised the mobo was the issue, might have just been a bad one but either way I got screwed.

Was a bit of trouble setting fan speeds in bios and a light buzzing coming from motherboard
