ASUS TUF GAMING B550M-PLUS AMD AM4 (3rd Gen Ryzen™) Micro ATX gaming motherboard (PCIe 4.0, 2.5Gb LAN, BIOS FlashBack, HDMI 2.1, USB 3.2 Gen 2, Addressable Gen 2 RGB header and AURA Sync)

Have had this for a little over a year and a half. Currently have CPU at 4.75ghz undervolt -25 pbo limits ppt 100/tdc 65/edc 135 with ram and IF at 1900mhz. This board is able to handle everything I throw at, the VRM's are amazing for Ryzen processors, esp 3rd gen. I feel the price is too high atm with some of the offerings for Intel, esp the 12400K with z690, bbut that is niether here nor there really. This is a great board and is still working flawlessly.

The product seems well built and durable. The CPU-less, memory-less BIOS flash utility is a must for new Zen3 CPUs - otherwise you're going to have to find an old CPU to plug in, just to update the bios. Onboard POST indicator lights were a great touch when troubleshooting lack of screen (turns out, my graphics card power wasn't plugged in completely!).Had no problems with drivers, everything just worked in windows 10. I did not notice a difference before or after I installed some specific drivers. Haven't tried any other operating systems yet.Potential buyers should be aware that only one of the 2 M.2 slots is connected to the PCIe 4.0 bus - the other is on a 3.0 bus. This is a B550 chipset limitation. There's a few other limitations of the B550 compared with the high end X570 so do your research and understand what you're getting.You might want to consider getting the B550M+ Wifi instead, which for under $20 more comes with what is theoretically a high quality wifi. I don't use wifi on my gaming rig, but regret not getting the wifi unit anyway, for flexibility.

This motherboard works great! The small factor is awesome, without sacrificing the important things. I love the gen 4 m.2 slot. Led lights are a neat addition!The only issue I had was the stock AMD cooler would not fit on this board... It is so condensed the top left row of capacitors were too close to the cpu and hits the heatsink before it lays flush. So an aftermarket cooler is a must. I went overkill and got the new corsair box cooler and it fit great.

Awesome quality and super easy to build with. Took my ram all the way up to 3600MHz with my Ryzen 5 with DOCP enabled in the bios. Bios came up to date out of the box but it is super easy to update when it comes time. Only thing that I’m a little disappointed about is that my mouse doesn’t get recognized in the click bios and for some reason the RAM didn’t want to go past 3000MHz in the 1 and 3 ram slots. Moved to 2 and 4 re-did the DOCP profile in the BIOS and now I’m sitting happy at 3600MHz. It’s very future proof as well, which I love.Comp specs:Ryzen 5 3600xtGTX 1660 superAsus TUF gaming B550M-PLUS AMD AM4 Micro atxCorsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 X 8GB) DDR4 3600 (PC4-28800) C18 1.35V Desktop Memory - BlackCooler Master MPY-5501-AFAAG-US MWE 550 Gold Full Modular, 80+ Gold Certified 550W Power SupplySamsung (MZ-V7E500BW) 970 EVO SSD 500GB - M.2 NVMeCooler Master MasterBox MB311L ARGB Airflow Micro-ATX Tower with Dual ARGB Fans, Fine Mesh Front Panel, Mesh Intake Vents, Tempered Glass Side Panel & ARGB Lighting System

It is very capable with a good BIOS and was easy to set up. The Flashback feature works great for updating BIOS, or retrograding when the built-in utility won't allow it. Lots of USB ports on the back panel; although it lacks an internal Type C port my case doesn't have one either so no loss. It has a good and very robust VRM that should easily handle a high core-count CPU even for overclocking. But the experience might be unpleasant as the board lacks a temperature readout on the CPU VRM. That's a major omission as the DIGI+ VRM controller definitely has it available but Asus simply chose not to expose it for monitoring. Another annoying omission is lack sensor readout of voltage applied to DDR4 DIMM's, so no way to verify they're getting correct voltage. These are no-cost-savings choices on their part that only creates customer disenchantment and makes it easy to consider the competition for the next purchase.

Great motherboard for the kiddos first gaming PC. Two years and running strong.

I used this in a new Ryzen 5 3600 build and it's working great. Currently there aren't a lot of microATX options available, but this one has everything critical to my build. One item lacking is a built-in wifi adapter, but that's not a deal-breaker here. The board has a nice RGB setup available on-board which is nice. The BIOS is very easy to understand and update as needed.One downside: the user manual is really sparse and the diagrams are not the best. If you're a newbie doing a build, you might have some questions that you'll need to look up answers online. Make your manuals more clear to help newcomers!

El único detalle que ví es que el botón de BIOS flashback está como doblado y el botón fuera del sitio aunque aún hace click estoy esperando el procesador y la fuente para poder probar finalmente el estado de la placa y espero nonesesitar ese botón pero en si la placa se ve en perfecto estado
