ASUS TUF Gaming B550-PLUS WiFi II AMD AM4 (3rd Gen Ryzen™) ATX Gaming Motherboard (PCIe 4.0, WiFi 6, 2.5Gb LAN, BIOS Flashback, USB 3.2 Gen 2, Addressable Gen 2 RGB Header and Aura Sync)

I purchased this board to replace an ASUS ROG X-470F motherboard that died. Pros: This board has the same number of SATA ports as the 470 (6), which was important for me, because all my games are stored in SATA SSDs. This MB boots quite a bit faster than my previous board. That’s always a plus. Built-in Wi-Fi controller. While I had a Wi-Fi expansion card for the x470 board, it was good to have it built-in to help clean up the interior of the case. Plenty of ports. Not only the above mentioned SARA ports, but plenty of USB ports, as well, including support for front-of-case ports. I have 6 USB cables plugged in and still have two free ports in the back, and 6 more on the case top. Drivers included on CD/DVD. This is a big deal to me, because newer boards don’t appear to include them. PNP picks up much of the drivers, but not all. Without included drivers, you might have to go to another machine to download them. That’s not customer-friendly. Cons: The Wi-Fi antenna is non-magnetic. This allows the antenna to slide off the case way too easily, diminishing the signal from the router, if you don’t notice it immediately. The Aura lights are not on top of the board. If you have ARGB light bars, it can flood out the boards built-in lights. DisplayPort and HDMI ports included, but so far, I have not been able to find integrated video hardware. This one has me confused.

Purchased as Amazon Warehouse "Fair" condition motherboard. This ASUS board is immaculate and still had plastic on the bridge heat sink which I have now removed. I discovered that the topmost m.2 heat sink had already had the protective plastic removed from the thermal pad while the bottommost m.2 heat sink did not. The bottommost m.2 slot was missing the m.2 standoff screw which seems to be a different screw from industry standard. Nothing on the board damaged. The original box and documentation was not included which is fine. The i/o shield was included in box. I noticed the wifi antenna was destroyed as the cable gold screws were ripped off so I used my own antenna. Additionally, two sata cables and what appears to be a fan splitter for an NZXT case were also included for some reason? lol Most importantly, it posts just fine and the bios recognized my Ryzen 7 2700 immediately (despite not being on the official list of compatible CPUs for the B550 chipset). For the heavily discounted price I purchased this for, I am very pleased. I hope I can also use this motherboard for many years to come as well. Update 6/6/2024 Still going strong. No issues.

It's better than I thought. It may be DRR4, but it still works at the latest generation in terms of performance. It has access to USB Type-C, which means it has good speeds, in addition to its Wi-Fi antenna. For me, it's the latest generation at a low cost.

Solid main board, and very forgiving of mixed ram sets, trains better than many boards in its class. Getting the drivers for this boards built in Bluetooth/wifi is a complete pain in the but. The manufacturers support is utterly and completely useless, pointing you to their web site which does NOT deliver the correct drivers for these functions. They don't listen, don't acknowledged their website providing the wrong/unusable drivers, , and eventually just stop responding. Once you get the correct drivers, this is one fast, flexible, solid performer worth the trouble getting the drivers youlll need.

!!!!!BEWARE OF MOBOs BEING BOUGHT FROM AMAZON RESALE!!!! The reason why I put what I did on the top line of this is simple, as stated. No confusion. The reason, though, is because I was sent a board that was returned and would not proceed to POST and got caught on a DRAM check. The BIOS was stuck in an an infinite flash loop. So what is assumed to have happened was that the person that returned it, bricked the board by interrupting the BIOS flash and just simply returned it, thereby making it my problem. That mobo was returned for a full refund and a sealed new board was ordered promptly. Now, the actual mobo that I have installed is a dream. Between the USB output, the onboard BT and WiFi6, and the 2.5GB Ethernet port keeps up well for the loads the I have placed on those components. Just be aware that this mobo DOES NOT have an on board option to connect any front case USB-C ports, but there is one on the rear I/O panel.

Producto de alta calidad com slots adicionales para expandir memoria muy útil ai piensas a futuro. La tengo con una rtx 5060 y va de marivalla.

perefecta la volvere a comprar

Excelente! Chegou intacta e na data prevista, desempenhando perfeitamente suas funções.

Good specs with great price.

I love the motherboard. Unfortunately it does not have a high speed USB adapter.

I thought it had an input type c to connect it to the case, but it doesn't, it only has its own type c. You should open the website and see the blueprint of the motherboard to see what to get in advance. I bought a type c input pcie for my case to connect it to the motherboard. I also got a fan hub. Everything else was spot on.
