Very nice motherboard
Built an AMD 5 5600G with NVME drive, and 16 gigs of memory. Used the old case, did not have to update the BIOS, and everything worked well. We used an old existing case. The build is very fast and replaeed a old I-5 processor from 2015.

Great value and super stable!
Everything was straightforward with this motherboard, easy to navigate BIOS, and very stable with my Ryzen 5 2600. I’ve got a mild overclock and it holds it’s own against some of the newer gear that I have! Definitely a great base for a beginner looking to dip their toes into PC building and gaming!

Good board
This is a decent board for the price. If youâre on a budget but want good speeds. Consider getting this one. Itâs not the best of the best but it will get you started in pc gaming. Has descent connectivity. Bios options are good but doesnât have everything. Again good started board for sure

works with AMD Ryzen 5 5500 6-Core perfectly
I am a builder who’s is building this as a gift so it has to be perfect he lives 1k miles away. I put the AMD Ryzen 5 5500 6-Core its more than enough for him and this board if upgradable down the road.using a sabrent nvm.2 4.0 so boot time is fast. in windows 11 I have no errors at all, all install went perfectly.
for a simple build that is stable for non overclocking buy it that said you can play most basic games no problem. also I did flash the bios to the newest BIOS 3611. (Good Luck)

Top tier
So for my budget build this was a must have ! Already came with the chipset for my cpu choice and was windows 11 ready so this was a no brainer. Out of the box she performed amazing and after messing with her bios settings and installing all the latest drivers she was even more amazing ! Just the speed and efficiency is mind blowing. And with the pci expansions you can pop a fast operating Wi-Fi card in which saves you money starting out so you can spend it elsewhere like for the gpu or psu. Anyway this mobo met all my needs for a comfortable price so Iâm glad I picked it up ! I would absolutely recommend this mobo if youâre on a budget and just starting out to building like I am

My next Nasa setup
The ASUS Prime B450M-A II Motherboard is like the MVP of budget builds â solid, reliable, and not here to break the bank. Compatible with Ryzen 5000, 3rd, 2nd, and 1st Gen, itâs basically like the party host that invites everyone.
Setup is easy, and itâs got all the essentials, so you wonât be digging through your couch cushions for extra ports. Plus, the BIOS is user-friendly, so even if youâre not a tech wizard, you wonât feel like youâre disarming a bomb.
It supports up to 128GB of RAM, which is way more than Iâll ever use (but nice to have in case I decide to run NASA simulations from my room). All in all, itâs a solid choice that gets the job done without a lot of drama â and leaves you with some cash left over for, you know, actual games

It’s really awesome for everything (except most things)
This motherboard was used for my first micro ATX build. It was actually fun to put together and works amazingly. However a couple caveats in most of the build process because of its small size. PCie ports are there but if you have a slightly big graphics card? No they aren’t. That means installing wifi internally is very dubious and difficult (I got a tplink USB wifi 6 product). Additionally NO ARGB 3 PIN ON THIS BOARD. Really have no idea why they would only have a RGB header and no argb to be seen. This means most rgb products WILL NOT FUNCTION unless you get an additional hub. Overall I like this board but it will really cost you 115 dollars at least unless you are using Ethernet and no argb…

I recently tested out the ASUS Prime B550-PLUS Motherboard, and here’s a breakdown of its features to save you scrolling through a book of details and my experience using it:
The Good Stuff
⢠Dropped this board into my PC build and it booted like a champ with my Ryzen processor
⢠PCIe 4.0 slots meant my graphics card ran smooth as butter
⢠HDMI 2.1 connection handled 4K displays without breaking a sweat
⢠RGB header let me add some fancy light show to my build
⢠1Gb LAN connection stayed stable during intense gaming sessions
Opportunities
⢠Installation needs some tech know-how – not a beginner’s board
⢠Might be overkill if you’re not running a performance-focused system
⢠RGB sync can be finicky with different component brands
⢠Price point is higher than basic motherboards
⢠BIOS updates require a bit of patience and tech skills
Bottom Line: High-end AMD board for serious PC builders who want performance and style.

Me llegó en buenas condiciones y funciona muy bien y a buen precio, recomendado.

La compré para usarla con una Ryzen 5 5500 y una gtx 1070 y no tuve ningún problema. Los únicos detalles que me disgustaron es que al momento de prenderla no querÃa reconocer la M2 que le instalé, tuve que añadir una SSD, y esa sà la reconoció al momento. El segundo detalle es que no podÃa instalarle Windows 11, tuve que hacer algunas modificaciones a la BIOS y volver a instalar el sistema operativo a la M2.
