I used the ASUS Prime B550-PLUS AC-HES AMD AM4 motherboard for my home arcade build, and it’s been a fantastic choice. The setup was smooth and the board offers great compatibility with my components. The B550 chipset provides solid performance, and the board handles everything from light gaming to heavy multitasking with ease.I was particularly impressed with the built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, which made setting up my arcade PC wireless and hassle-free. The board’s design is clean and compact, and the onboard audio is crisp, which is perfect for my arcade cabinet’s sound system.Overall, this motherboard offers incredible value for the price. It’s stable, reliable, and more than capable of supporting the needs of a home arcade system. Highly recommend for anyone looking to build or upgrade their setup!

I recently had to replace my old motherboard, and after some research, I decided on the ASUS Prime B550-PLUS as a solid mid-range option. I paired it with my Ryzen 7 3700x, and I’m happy to report that it worked flawlessly right out of the box.Easy Setup: The installation process was smooth, and the board had no compatibility issues with my existing components. It booted up without any problems with my Ryzen 7 3700x, which was a relief after dealing with the failure of my old motherboard.Great Features for the Price: The B550 chipset provides great value, offering support for PCIe 4.0. The board also has plenty of connectivity options, including USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, which I find useful for my external devices.Solid Build Quality: ASUS has always been known for making durable motherboards, and the Prime B550-PLUS feels sturdy and reliable.BIOS Interface: The BIOS is user-friendly and easy to navigate. I didn’t have any issues tweaking settings or adjusting fan curves or enabling D.O.C.P, which is a plus for those who like to fine-tune their system.If you're looking to future-proof your build, I would recommend considering an AM5 motherboard for better long-term compatibility with upcoming Ryzen processors. The only reason I went with an AM4 motherboard is because I wanted to hand down my gaming rig to my little brother, and this was a cost-effective solution for my current needs.The ASUS Prime B550-PLUS is an excellent choice for anyone sticking with AM4, offering great value and features at a reasonable price. However, for those planning future upgrades, AM5 might be a better option to consider.

I updated my son's Cyberpower PC to Windows 11. Everything installed successfully, including all the updates. Then after a restart the display wouldn't come on. That Mobo was an MSI B450 Tomahawk and the LED's said VGA problem. Given the circumstance I couldn't believe it suddenly died. I tried numerous times resetting the CMOS, reseating the graphics card, reseating memory, even checked the power supply, etc.I ordered this ASUS Prime B450M-A II as an economic replacement. It arrived in 2 days and was packaged well. The price dropped 2 days after I ordered. The box has labels Windows 11 ready and Ryzen 5000 Series ready. The board comes with backplate, 2 SATA cables, a M2 screw for mounting, a driver disc and the manual. This ASUS mobo is laid out differently than the MSI. I like it better. The graphics card slot is moved over one space with the M2 slot out in the open. With this Mobo you can use a M2 with a heatsink attached. The MSI M2 slot was directly under a dual-slot graphics card. I like the BIOS flashback feature (located on the back) with this board. The BIOS is laid out well, very intuitive and easy to use.I have built several computers over the years with ASUS my go-to brand. This Mobo is a great full featured B450 motherboard for AM4 series CPU's. The BIOS is upgraded to accept Ryzen 5000 series CPU's. Simply put you're getting a great AM4 motherboard for a great price.

Great board, easy setup, functional, and like the fact that you can use onboard graphics connectors that are D-Sub, HDMI and DVI, so if you have older displays these will work just fine, along with a PS/2 mouse plug. The few complaints I have are that it didn't have very many fan headers on the board and that it didn't have USB-C Type C/A-Key header for the front panel connector, but adding an expansion card took care of that. This is a good board for a fast internet PC.

Working, had to contact support but is working the replacement

I was building a medium budget pc and this motherboard was a great fit for a reasonable price. Great quality, spacing between components was not an issue. I have had for about 5 months and haven't had any issues with the motherboard. It handles gaming well, temperature holds well with my setup, even with some modern games. I like the lighting options, while it is not essential, but it gives it a nice look. It has handled all updates, gaming, downloads, streaming with no problem or issues, great performance. This is a great value if you are a building a mid budget pc.

This is a excellent motherboard. It has enough "hooks" for what you'll need. The price point was excellent. The motherboard was easy to install into the case I had purchased. So the size of the board isn't too large or small. I did have to download and test multiple wi-fi drivers because the one on the board is definitely unique.
