    Replaced a 12yr old motherboard. Had all the features I was looking for. Running Ryzen 2700, G. Skill 16gb DDR4 memory at 3200mhz and Nvidia 1070gtx. No issues with BIOS. RGB logo is pretty good. Used more for productivity then gaming. But no problems running COD modern warfare on high settings. Will be able to still upgrade in the future as needed. Excellent upgrade!!!

    This MB is not only beautiful but also has everything you need. It has 2 M.2 spots, 4 RAM slots, plenty of USB for VR, and runs everything amazingly. The BIOS system is easy to use as well for tuning and tweaking performance.

    I purchased this mobo at best buy retail store. I like that Best Buy had it in stock as it was just what I was looking for. The Asus boards are my preferred brand because I have always found them to be of high quality. I also like that it has usb-c so I can connect newer devices. I has connections for the ROG leds and Aura sinc can be used to control them. Asus also has other utilities downloadable for it. The board also supports AMD Ryzen™ 2nd Generation/ Ryzen™ 1st Generation Processors and 2 slots for M.2 Socket 3, with M key, type 2242/2260/2280 storage devices, and multiple other features.

    Bought it to temporarily replace my MSI MPG X570 Gaming Edge Wifi. With a Ryzen 5 3600, I got a stable 4.3 Ghz OC out of it, which is what I had my other board OCd to. RAM was overclocked to just under 3200 Mhz with Corsair Vengeance 3k Mhz (I believe it only listed 3193, or something close to that). The only thing that I wasn't happy about was the lack of 5V RGB connections, which half of my lights in my build are 5V, the rest are 12V, but I knew that going into the purchase. The board is capable of everything I threw at it, and trust me, I tossed everything at it that I could. It's going to be used in a new gaming build soon, just getting parts together now.

    ASUS ALL THE WAY. I purchased this at my local BestBuy for two reasons. 1-They were the same price in store as online, and 2-Buy local, stay local. I loved having the ability to go to a BIG box store, like BestBuy, and gazing upon all the computer components they have in the store, and they have roughly the cheapest prices around. I did have ONE issue with this motherboard. Upon installing RAM, CPU & cooler, and m.2 NVMe SSD, I installed it into the case (Corsair 100r), I booted to BIOS with no issues. I stepped away for 5 minutes and the computer shut down. When I pressed the power button, it practically blinked, all the fans turned on, and then immediately turned off. After 1.5-2 hours of diagnostics, I've come to the conclusion that the Mobo was shot. EVEN though the ROG IO RGB was illuminating and working. I checked every component starting with the CPU, and RAM only, still got the issue. The funny thing is I have 3 LED indicator lights for diagnostics, none of them showed errors. Spoke with ASUS customer support at 8 p.m. on a Monday night, and got a person on the phone at 8:05 p.m. I told him all that I have done and he said that unfortunately those were the procedures he recommends doing before filing a warranty. He then gave me a case number and told me to take it back to BestBuy and get it exchanged. So, I ended up boxing both the PSU and the Mobo up and I took them back to my local BestBuy (after they got a new one in stock (5 business days)). I even made sure to pack all the SATA and power cables, and made thepackages all nice and neat and BestBuy employees didn't LOOK INSIDE. Oh well, they exchanged them, and as soon as I got home, I bench built the Mobo back again on its box, starting with CPU and RAM, and EVERYTHING WORKS! So far, 2 weeks in, everything works great!

    This has to be the coolest motherboard! I had to debate whether to get the Rog Strix or the Tomahawk. But this has RGB Lighting compare to the tomahawk with only red lighting. Has 2 m.2 slots and 2 RGB headers. You can change the lighting in the Asus lighting program you can download and it works amazing!

    I'll start by saying that this mobo looks great aesthetically. You may need to purchase an internal USB hub for your entire build and it is important to know that this motherboard does not support addressable rgb. It has two 4 pin 12v headers and lacks the 3 pin 5v headers for addressable rgb. The vrm temps are also not great but this board should be fine for the average consumer.

    Giving this 5 stars because its a solid board. Plenty of upgradability for a low price. My only complaint was that the ram slots are close to the cpu slot, so my NZXT Z73 (water cooling AIO) could not have the cpu block with the tubes oriented to the right side with all 4 memory sticks installed, so I just rotated the tube side to the bottom.

    Bought this in June/July and have had issues with it not booting up randomly ever since. Onboard diagnostics shows a RAM issue. I tried to take in the Geek Squad to have it looked at, but they wanted $120 just to put it on their bench. Went about returning the RAM and ordered a new set only to have the same issue. Talked to the Squad again and the only option they gave me was to pay the $120 bench fee or send it back to Asus. Went through the long process of sending it back for repair only to have the board come back again with the same issue. Now I'm 4 months out from the purchase date and stuck with a board that won't work. I'm really disappointed in not only the board but Best Buy as well.

    Firstly, these are now being shipped with a logo indicating they are Ryzen 3000 ready, so most likely your local store will have a unit that has had the bios updated. Just to clarify from a concern I had when shopping in the B450 Range. Wow, what a monster for the price; I had moderate expectations for the price of this board, but I have been absolutely blown away at every turn. I currently have: A Ryzen 7 2700X stable at 4.25 running 1.43V 2 16gb Trident Z Royal 3000mhz ocd to 3400mhz ( 16 18 18 36) An EVGA RTX 2080Ti XC Ultra at 2100 core and 8000 mem. and this board seemingly does not care one bit in terms of VRM temps. Its taken me roughly a month of tinkering in the bios to really get all of those numbers toned in exactly right, and potentially a more capable VRM solution may have aided in that, but you cannot expect anymore than this for the price. -It is a true full ATX mobo with 2 full speed Gen 3 NVME slots -multiple (dont know exactly) Sata ports - RIGID PCIE slots, absolutely zero sag on the Ti without any additional mounting support. -Bios provides every entry and mid level OC option for Ryzen, even if the capabilities of the chips are now more automatic than manual. It is simply a stunning value compared to the premium most (including Asus) charge for a 570 chipset. All in all, if you absolutely must have onboard WIFI/Bluetooth, this board will dissapoint, otherwise; pick it up and run with it my friend; you wont regret it

    Mother board was nicely paired with 3700x and vega 56 gpu. At first things were a bit unstable, but I went in bios after installing windows 10 and installed the latest bios for the board in the bios menu. After that I had to get the Dram voltage adjusted because it kept resetting randomly with no beeping noises so I knew it was the ram. Everything is all good now, motherboard working very well, fits everything just fine and capable of handling probably up to a 3900x. It has good amount of 3.1 usb connectors, sata3 ports, nice I/O shield.. I didnt need all the x570 features, so I decided to save some money to use a B450 model like this one. I like the subtle rgb lights near the capacitors. Hopefully this board last as long as my previous build (8 years old).

    Quality products from ASUS. Everything you need on this motherboard (except type c connection). RGB is subtle and nice. BIOS is very easy to use and probably the best there is. No WiFi/BT though. It needs more fan headers too.

    Asus made this board budget friendly and it has everything you would need and then some for this price range. Be aware that if you use M.2 it will disable 2 of the 6 SATA ports. Asus' BIOS isn't always the best but overclocking is possible on this board. However, if you are trying to do some more serious overclocking you may want to look elsewhere. The RGB on the board is tasteful with a simple ROG logo and there are 2 - 12v pins you can sync your fans to with Aura sync (If they have the right connectors). Shipping was fast with Best Buy and showed up in good shape, except for the giant shipping sticker that they slapped on the front and center of the box. I like to keep my boxes so that kinda irritated me. Overall a decent Mobo with a few extra features for the price.
