TOP FAVORABLE REVIEW
Works great

-I knew what features I wanted from a mobo and this delivered.
-Easy setup, great bios, literally just plug and play.
-Low temps and overclocks my Ryzen 5 2600 well.
-Fun RGB lighting that's minimalist and easy on the eyes.

-None for the price
-If you're trying to get more overclocking headroom or are going for the Ryzen 7's I'd probably recommend an X470 mobo.

Combining this with a Ryzen 3 or 5 is great for budget builds. This is a quality motherboard and I figure it'll last long (much like my other ASUS mobos).

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Was great at the start then started to failure happen.

None

Motherboard works sometimes I get constant Ethernet Drop and USB disconnection from the AMD USB 3.10 eXtensible Host Controller. Yes I have most recent Bios 2202. When this device fails computer locks up and have to hard reset and hope the issue doesn't happen again anytime soon

I have the Motherboard installed with
