Very good, for a basic board.
I had a prior build since early 2020, with an Antec PSU that shorted out recently and died with a bang, and in the process killed the motherboard (MSI). Fortunately, my M.2 NVMe Intel disc (with Windows 11 Pro) was intact, and I did not know then about the CPU (Ryzen 5 3400G Picasso) or RAM (16GB Crucial Ballistix 8GBx2). Typically, a PSU outputs first to the MOBO and CPU, and next to the RAM. Older memories were notoriously susceptible to current and used to die with the MOBO. Fortunately, things have gotten better. Antec was great in sending me a new replacement PSU under warranty. I needed a new replacement MOBO and wanted to stick with AM4 chipset without spending a lot. I found this board on Amazon at a great price, and the several positive reviews were encouraging. Throughout the years, I had always used MSI boards for my builds, except once (ASUS). This was my first experience with ASRock, and I am very pleased so far. The box I received states “AMD Ryzen Desktop 2000 Ready” and had an added sticker “AMD Ryzen 5000 Desktop Ready”, and another “Windows 11 Ready”. I imagine some (older) stock did not have the added (Ryzen 5000) sticker, which would explain some reviewers who had to update the Bios using an earlier generation CPU. When I received it, I did a minimal basic build outside the case, with the new PSU and tested my old CPU and RAM. It booted into BIOS and I was so relieved that the CPU and RAM were fine. I then put the Intel NVMe disc, placed the board in the case, hooked my old Plextor DVDRW, case fans and all the headers. Windows 11 Pro loaded up and all is good. The Bios/set up on this ASRock board is very easy to navigate and has a lot of ‘AUTO’ settings in the default parameters, and I only had to change few things. For the technically savvy, there are several settings you can adjust, but for most people, you will only need the boot menu, particularly for Win 11, and very few advanced configurations. I did not even use the included support CD. The box contains the MOBO, CD, Installation guide, 2 SATA cables, a small M.2 screw and the I/O shield. The guide and illustrations are very adequate. It has 2 DIMM slots (288 pin) and supports up to 64GB, 32GBx2, per ASRock. I bought new 32GB RAM (16GBx2) which was easily recognized. ASRock states for Picasso, the frequency is 2667/2933, but the new memory is 3200 and runs as such, with or without XMP. I am not a gamer and never overclock a CPU and don’t use a discrete GPU anymore. It has on board USB2 (x2) and USB3 headers. The CPU connector is only 4 pin and if you have an 8-pin cable (4+4), you just split it. The MOBO is the standard 24 pin. There are 2 chassis fan connectors (4 pin and 3 pin), 4 SATA connectors, HD audio and a standard front panel system header. There is one M.2 and 2 PCI slots. The I/O shield is as shown (Single PS2, but supports Y-splitter, 2 USB2, 4 USB3, Gigabit LAN, rear audio, VGA, DVI and HDMI). It is a basic board (No WIFI, BT, M-Flash, USB C) and is very well priced. As such, I would recommend as a budget motherboard. Even though I am biased toward MSI boards (I guess force of habit), I will definitely keep this motherboard in mind. Thank you.I bought a second one to upgrade an older computer (Athlon A6 APU and FM2+ socket MOBO). It also had the Ryzen 5000 and Windows 11 ready stickers. Very satisfied, just like the first time. Recommend. Thank you.

Great budget motherboard
Used this to build my at home work station. This motherboard is works great for everyday use.

Great beginner MOBO
Decent MOBO for the price. I use ethernet and wireless devices so no wifi and BT wasn’t a deal breaker. You can Overclock your CPU but wouldn’t recommend it for this MOBO. Only 1 M.2 which sucks but at least it was Gen 3. Mine also came with BIOS 10.10 so it was Ryzen 5000 ready. Currently running a 5600 + 6650 XT and couldn’t be happier with performance.

Patience and questionable usability
I noticed this motherboard was the cheapest on Amazon, so as per usual, people fling to that.And honestly it works most of the time.I will say however there are a very steep curve balls thrown with this board.1. Out of the box it did not POST. And I do not know why, took several tries to get it booting, and when it did, it has a horrendous 15 second delay from pressing the power button to actually seeing the ASRock logo on the screen. Now i say “horrendous” but i only say this because most, if not..ALL motherboards tend to actually post relatively quickly, or do something. This motherboard legitimately sits there in the dark for a bit and then finally it’ll boot. now this could be a defect with my unit as i’ve noticed that it has like a 1 in 3 chance to not boot from cold booting (which would be ram) but i can’t tell to be honest. I’ve had 3 motherboards, and so far, this is by far the slowest one. Even my older asrocks from AM3 or FM2 didn’t have this issue.2. The UEFI BIOS on this board was outdated, and for some reason did not detect -any- M.2 SSDs, SATA or PCIe for me until the bios was updated.3. This board has DDR4 3200Mhz support, however INTERESTINGLY enough it does not like 3200mhz ram, I hae Corsair 3200Mhz Samsung B die memory, that it did not like whatsoever however it did not mind Crucial Ballistix 2400Mhz memory, even with a hefty 600mhz OC to 3000 CL16.4. Ryzen 3000 support is there out the box and my 3600 seems to work perfectly fine, in line with other benchmarks on the net, and XFR is available, though using that feature seems silly, and draws unnecessary amounts of extra power for little to no gain.Under normal use, HWinfo shows my 3600 consuming easily 65w like its supposed to be doing between gaming and doing light streaming.Video editing or stressing the chip brought power consumption to about 90w, which is still acceptable, especially with temps only hitting about 70c on the cores, 100c on the VRMs5. This is a basic motherboard, it gets you from point A to point B. and does it as it should, the only bad thing i’d say is you have to do a little workaround to get any non windows OS systems to not lock up, and secondly the bios boot taking an absurdly long time is really the only issue i have.Other than that I’d buy several of these motherboards so long as i can have it reliable for booting successfully as it doesn’t seem like that is the case, though it is better with newer BIOS revisions so theres that.

Only 2 of the 3 fan connectors are speed controlled, only for PMW
Very good for a basic board.Not sure why the fan controller is only enabled on 2 of the 3 fan connections, no DC fan control PMW only, fan control not as well documented as it could be to avoid wasting time figuring it out.

Extremely Good Value for money and plentiful features
I bought this motherboard on sale for $60 (before tax), I’m not sure if every one’s motherboard will be like this, but mine was Ryzen 5000 ready out of the box, which saved me a lot of trouble since this motherboard doesn’t have a way to flash the bios without a CPU like other more expensive motherboards. My only complaint is that the RAM was harder than usual to put in, you really need to push down harder to get them to click in.In the BIOS, you have the option to overlock RAM and adjust timings and voltages, I used the XMP profile to have my Silicon Power X Turbine DDR4 RAM, to have it run at 3200mhz (it was supposed to but without enabling the XMP Profile you will have 2666 MHZ).You also have the option to adjust overlock settings for cpu and gpu, and to adjust chassis fan speeds which is useful for cheaper case fans that only have 3 pins instead of 4 pins. Not including the 4 pin for cpu fan, this case has 2 ports for chassis fan, one is a 4 pin located on the middle left side, and the other is located on the lower left.Overall I am very satisfied. You can’t go wrong for the price.

Questa scheda si distingue nel mercato delle schede madri per il suo straordinario rapporto qualità -prezzo, rendendola una scelta ideale per chi desidera costruire un sistema AMD senza svuotare il portafoglio e per chi cerca una build economica. Uno dei suoi maggiori punti di forza è il supporto per i processori Ryzen 5000, anche se ora la piattaforma ideale per partire è AM5. In caso non si abbia questo potere d’acquisto, il mio caso, questa board è perfetta.Nonostante il costo contenuto, offre tutte le funzionalità essenziali per garantire un’ottima esperienza di utilizzo, rendendola un’ottima soluzione sia per i gamer che per chi utilizza il computer per la produttività . Il design compatto, tipico delle schede madri micro ATX, la rende anche molto versatile: si adatta facilmente a case più piccoli, risultando ideale per chi desidera un build compatto e ben organizzato.Tuttavia, ci sono alcune limitazioni da considerare: il numero di porte USB è più ridotto e la mancanza di supporto per PCIe 4.0 potrebbe rappresentare un fattore limitante per quelle persone che vogliono sfruttare le ultime schede video e/o NVMe SSD.
