TOP FAVORABLE REVIEW
Impressed! ASUS Delivers! Never Thought the Sound Chip Mattered But it Does!

- No active cooler fans like the X570 boards! Fans are a point of failure so recommend B550 unless you are doing something crazy with PCIe gen 4 lanes
- Plenty of fan headers all over the board (they are not clustered all in one place like some boards out there)
- BIOS flashback is very useful if you are planning to install a Ryzen 5000 series CPU
- Sound chip and ASUS software actually makes my audio better (did not buy the board for this feature but was really impressed by the sound quality)
- Aura RGB works, nice ROG logo LED touch
- ASUS BIOS is easy to use and plenty of support out there. There are plenty of people with ASUS boards out there and you can usually find a forum or reddit post on just about anything you want to know about this board.

- Only 6 SATA ports and limited to 4 if you use the 2nd M.2 slot (but this is common for most B550 boards).
- VRM heatsinks are tall, plan accordingly if you have a tight case and trying to cram in a radiator at the top
- ARGB header is in the bottom center. May be challenging to connect RGB fans from the top of the case and with ASUS put another ARGB header on the board near the top (there is a regular RGB one but not ARGB)

Would recommend for anyone looking for a quality B550 board. ASUS has been my go to for the last 4 builds and has never let me down. This is the first time I went for the ROG line and I am very impressed! The most under rated feature is the sound chip. I can't believe it but gaming actually sounds better with the same speakers. And I was coming from an ASUS P8Z77. Aura sync works like a charm, every other RGB product I've plug in is plug and play when it comes to LEDs (using Trident Z RGB RAM and Fractal Design AL-14 fans).

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Asus armory crate will auto install and ruin your performance

Top the line hardware with no complaints.

Bios-level software that auto-installs when you first install windows. Armory Crate caused hangs, crashes, and hiccups while playing intensive 3D apps. Trying to uninstall it traditionally will get you nowhere.

This is a perfectly fine motherboard with the exception that it stores BLOATWARE onboard and installs it at the bios-level. Only through the bios can you turn it off.

Unacceptable, Asus. Stuff your stupid launcher.
