ASUS ROG Strix B550-E Gaming AMD AM4 (3rd Gen Ryzen™) ATX gaming motherboard (PCIe 4.0, NVIDIA SLI, WiFi 6, 2.5Gb LAN, 14+2 power stages, front USB 3.2 Type-C, Addressable Gen 2 RGB and AURA Sync)

Asus are just the best brand in the computing industry.Great bios, great design, great features.Also has a Q-code screen incase something goes wrong (very helpful alongside the manual of Q-codes).

The main reason for this purchase was for the PCIe Gen 4 supports but after receiving this motherboard I was surprised at how good it actually looked and how simple and clear the instructions were to install this into my new case.This is only my second ever pc build and everything went so smooth! Running a Ryzen 3900x with the stock fan - 16GB of RAM - RTX 2080 and a pcie gen 4 nvme SSD all inside an NZXT H510 elite.The bios is simple and very user friendly especially for newer builders like myself.If you were on the fence about purchasing this product I would definitely suggest you do it!

A visually appealing and feature rich board. I opted for the Wifi variant as 1) it was cheaper than the non-Wifi version at the time and 2) I use an Xbox controller a lot and like to have it Bluetooth paired. This meant no dongle was needed.Nice RGB features which are compatible with many products, including Corsair's iCUE.

For the price, this board has a lot of features that put it a step ahead of other b550 boards, almost in-between those and the X570 chipset boards. Nice RGB effects built in, plenty of internal and external IO options available and has front panel USB3 Gen 1 & USB C headers.Sadly, there are plenty of reviews online stating issues with USB devices disconnecting, network problems and for some reason the board I received suffered quite significant EMI through the audio channels, resulting in loud buzzing in my headphones when the GPU was under load. Attempting to reroute the cables and unplugging unnecessary peripherals didn't help, and the noise was both frustrating and very annoying as I could hear it over reasonably loud music. As such, I had to return the one I received and purchase a different model. This was likely specific to my setup, though, and may not be a frequent issue for others.Without this issue, though, the board itself was pretty good for modern use cases, especially at the price. I would still be using it had it not been for the EMI issue I was having.I did have some stability issues and random reboots, but this WAS NOT caused by the motherboard - I had received a faulty CPU plagued with WHEA (18) errors and frequent hard reboots when idle. With a functional CPU, this board would have had no issue whatsoever powering both a high end CPU and GPU that are being overclocked. The VRM is solid enough that my CPU was boosting to 5.1ghz on some cores without breaking a sweat.Overall I'd recommend it, but it is let down how common certain issues seem to be, as seen in a fair few of the reviews here. That being said, if you get a board without these issues, it's fantastic value.

Good board as always from Asus, used the bios flashback no problem,dropped in a 5600X and paired it with a Noctua NH-U12S which gives plenty of room for the 4 ram sticks added 2 nvmes and an Asus 2600 super and everything works perfectly notwithstanding the usual Windows 10 niggles as it tries to change the drivers for old ones, but that is easily fixed. Oh i almost forgot no chipset fan, great.

Bought it over the X470 cause of stock issues, says it's coming tomorrow but it came today earlier than amazons own delivery service so big ups ADMI. Great contender for the X470, same great features just less USB ports. if you need more than 5 then I'd suggest wait until they restock

good product

The only motherboard that work with a simple bios update for my 5600x for me. I tried with a gigabyte the main pci was not detected. Tried with a msi didn’t work at all.The only issue so far was Bluetooth was not detected once for some strange reason. Was fix doing a turn off and on of the power supply
