ASUS AMD Ryzen AM4 DDR4 HDMI DVI VGA M.2 USB 3.1 MicroATX B350 Motherboard (TUF B350M-PLUS GAMING)

After using three B350M models, this is probably the best I've used in terms of hardware. Installation was a bit tricky due to the plastic I/O cover which is entirely decorative and without function for what I can see (it's just a thin 3"x2" plastic cover). The cover just wedges under my back case fan and above my GPU. Had it been 2mm longer or wider, the motherboard wouldn't have fit. Luckily the cover looks like it could be popped off the PCB if needed. I have a bit 3-slot 1080 ti cooler and the top PCI-E slot placement works well: the video card cooler doesn't hang over the bottom of the board. The VRMs looks sufficiently hefty, but again, pretty certain they are the same as any number of other B350Ms. All in all, a good board, but make no mistake, this is just a standard B350M with some extra paint and plastic -- it's a B350M, no big whoop. Give me a BIOS reset button instead of jumpers (what is this, 1999??) and physical error code readout and it would have been 5 stars.Performance of the board is good so far (have been running for 2 weeks). No problem with my Hyper-X 2666 that other B350Ms have not liked (although I think this is more due to the newer BIOSthan I was running previously). I can get 3.95ghz stable with the vcore topping out at 1.392v on my Ryzen 1600. The board seems to recover gracefully from failed OCs. The BIOS options are laid out relatively well, but the interface needs some UX work (like all BIOS UIs).

Bought this together with a Ryzen 2400G and doesn't work! The bios on these boards is below the one that works for 2400G therefor you have to through AMD to get a boot kit. They are quite unresponsive so far. I'm not sure if the new stock will have upgraded bios on, but if not then be warned that you'll spend extra time getting this resolved and faffing about with different manufacturers to get the thing working.Apart from that, the board is actually really well constructed and laid out. I managed to get power to the board and there are some orange LEDs spread over the board which is ok I guess if that's your thing.Can't wait to get this working, will update on the saga once resolved.Update: AMD sent a boot kit processor overnight. Full marks to them. Got everything up and running. This is a good board with lots of great bios stuff. Everything works ok. Three stars because of the extra hassle, but th quality of the board is nothing to complain about.

Nice motherboard,installed my ryzen 1600 after selling an older asus k-320 mobo,mainly for the extra ram solts,given the recent ram prices,buying 8 gigabytes(2x4gb) at a time seemed the best course.The install went smooth as butter,but for the slightly annoying backplate insertion,little trickier than it usually is.Other than that it has a "Ryzen 2000 ready" sticker on the box,so should run the APUs from the off(Ryzen 2200g,2400g ect).

A good quality board which has offered no problems. It comfortable takes my Ryzen 7 and is humming along nicely. The only draw back which I had hoped to have been better advertised on their website is that if an M.2 drive slot is use then two SATA ports will be disabled. Since I've used a M.2 drive slot as my OS drive it now means I've got to invest in a SATA PCIe card controller to managed my other drives.

Does the job
