I've tried other motherboards but I always go back to Asus. I haven't had time yet to play with it, but getting it up and running was a breeze

-Plenty of connectors - Well designed BIOS with easy customization options. Setting fan curves and RAM speeds is no problem. -Nice build quality with a sturdy PCB. -Easy to install SSDs -3 USB-C connectors is appreciated

It was easy to set up. The G-Connector was easy. The m.2 went in well. Feels solid, and looks good, for whatever that's worth.

Plenty of options for top end setups

After 18 years of great service, my old ASUS 4 core AMD CPU motherboard died in my old custom HTPC after being unable to support some of its USB ports, and I decided it was time to build at least one new computer. This ROG STRIX B650-A looked to be a good deal and had everything I expected for a better than average build. After such a long time there was a learning curve, but I had modified Win 11 Pro some years back to run on my four pre UEFI BIOS computers - so I'm still somewhat capable even at 73. I worked slowly and methodically installing the board in a new Silverstone GD10B shelf case with a Seasonic FOCUS GX750 PSU, with an AMD Ryzen 5 8600G series processor and some new Corsair DDR5 PC6400 (2x16GB Vengeance RGB sticks - that weren't in the ASUS QVC listing). I reused my old Samsung 256 GB SSD and a Western Digital Purple 1 TB storage drive. I then download and burned a Win 11 Pro 23H2 ISO and installed the latest ASUS BIOS to a 32GB USB memory stick. This case is tight, but cable management worked well, and I had no problem mounting my ASUS BlueRay Dual Layer SATA burner drive, the 2.5 SATA SSD and the 3.5 SATA hard drive. First power up was uneventful as I watched the Aura lighting come on with the diagnostic lights showing correct operation. My SSD still had my modified pre UEFI WIN 11 Pro loaded and BIOS would not show a bootable drive but did show the drives as storage. I loaded the WIN 11 Pro ISO in my disc drive and Win 11 Pro loaded in 17 minutes. WiFi and Ethernet came Online and the computer ran so quiet I found myself looking at it repeatedly just to see if it was still on despite my HDMI monitor's screen. I then inserted the memory stick into the BIOS USB with the new .CAP BIOS with the computer turned off. I held the button in for three seconds for three flashes on the BIOS FlashBack and it ran for 4 minutes to completion. I then loaded all the ASUS utilities and used them to update some of the drivers with zero issues. I then hit activation for WIN 11 Pro and purchased a digital license from Microsoft. After activation, I made sure WIN 11 Pro was fully updated which added even more features. Once this was done, I re-entered the ASUS Armoury Crate utility and used it to further update all ASUS and AMD drivers. This PC runs very cool and extremely quiet using the three included case fans and CPU fan at 900-1000 RPM. 31-35 C. CPU cores and it still hasn't been running long enough to burn in the factory AMD Wraith Stealth cooler to the CPU. The PSU fan is also so quiet I had to look just to see if its fan was on (Seasonic has a back button that will turn it off).

Enough PCIe channels for a 5.0 PCIE NVME And 5.0 PCIE x16 GPU

Works great with the 9800x3d

The motherboard is working
