It's a good board but it DOES boot slow. And Bluetooth is weak and disconnects.
Pretty much my only complaint is that it boots slow, as others have said. It takes like 5 seconds to display the BIOS, so it's really only a problem if you're going in and out of the BIOS a lot. Otherwise, it really won't bother you. But it probably will bother you if you need to do extensive BIOS troubleshooting. I only had to go into the BIOS a few times and was getting annoyed. I also didn't know that with AM5 the backplate is typically attached to the board, so I bought the wrong heatsink at first. Just make sure you buy a heatsink that is made to attach to the AM5 bracket and doesn't REQURE it's own (like some do), and you'll be fine with this board. If you don't know these things ahead of time, it can be a pain, though. Also, remember to pair this with a CPU that has enough lanes to support a full x16 graphics card and NVME drive, or the GPU may run at half speed. I paired this with the 7950X3D and a AXP120-X67 Air Cooler, and RTX 4070 12GB (I get like 20K in Time Spy, so it's not a bad board). That's about it, I think. Oh, and the onboard Bluetooth sucks (but it does on most motherboards, from my experience -- they really need to put in better adapters, IMO). It's a good board, but DOES boot kind of slow, but it's only a problem if you go into the BIOS a lot or start having problems and need to start doing that. Oh, and I almost forgot -- Windows 11 setup didn't recognize the network adapter right away (which is a problem during setup because it needs a network). So, I had to enter special commands during setup (found online in Microsoft's help docs or Google). It probably deserves a star off for it booting slow and the network adapter not working during Windows 11 setup, but since I had zero problems with it other than that, I'll give it a 5 just because it works so well than those two things (besides those two things I'm very happy with it, and I even bought another which I just put together).

Top tier ITX board.
Solid ITX MB with most features a full MB has. No issues when OC Ram sticks and offers LEDs compared to other ITX boards. Currently using with a 9800x3d and would still recommend the newer b850. Only reason for getting a b650 is if it’s heavily discounted.

Seems like a good board but...
I just spent about 4 hours meticulously building a new PC. Corsair RAM Corsair NVMe M.2, GTX 4070, Ryzen 9, water cooling, etc.. Built the entire thing, cable routing and the like. Tried to fire it up an no NVMe present. I verified the M.2 stick works in another PC so it's not the problem. I spent about another hour dismantling everything to see if something else was the problem but no luck, the board just wouldn't see any M.2 drive I put in it. My box did a have an 'Amazon Second Chance' product sticker on it. Perhaps someone previously returned for the same issue. I'm giving it two stars just because Amazon is going to replace the defect. I'll re-rate when I get the new board. Update: turns out the first board I got was an 'amazon second chance' board and it was faulty. Randomly crash, randomly not detect M.2, sometimes wouldnt even boot. I would not recommend a 'second chance' motherboard for anyone due to the nature of complex electronics. I have no idea who had the board before me and why they returned it. Anyways I got a new board (new from factory) and haven't had issues.

Horrible Product from an equally horrible company
I won’t go into detail about ASUS the company, there is more than enough details online, but I will go into detail in regards to the B650E-I. The first problem that I got was the fact that there are no Internet drivers preinstalled onto the motherboard meaning that you have to save your Internet drivers onto a separate USB before you actually get even LAN working. This is a problem because if you are like most people, you will be reusing part from your previous build and will not have a computer to actually download the drivers until it is already too late. I was fortunate enough to have actually done this however it shouldn’t even be a problem, yet it is. The second issue is the boot times last substantially longer than any other motherboard that I’ve used before. The third issue is going to be the fact that there is coil wine on my unit. It’s not entirely audible, only noticeable if I have my fans at a low speed and the case panels off, however, based on previous reviews, it is likely that this will get worse overtime and I have purchased motherboards for 1/3 of the price that had no coil line. The fourth and final problem, which is the most important for me is that the audio solution on this motherboard is absolutely horrible. For whatever reason the audio signal that comes out of the rear is incredibly loud, it distorts my headphones even at 50% system volume on windows. There is a lot of distortion and the audio sounds tinny, installing the drivers from the ASUS website does not help. This is not an issue that I have seen substantially covered at all except for one Reddit thread, this in my opinion, makes the board unusable and even though you can compensate by reducing your system volume it is common for volume to reset on startup and it shouldn’t even be an issue in the first place. Yes, the motherboard does have many good features and the rear Io is best in class and there are no extra daughter boards that you have to use to get full features like other manufacturers, but it is not worth the price nor the quality. EDIT: Some extra info. - Coil whine can be “solved” by keeping your CPU above 1.2V at all times. Should not have to do this for $300. - Long boot times are a problem with AM5 in general apparently. Go into your BIOS and turn on BOTH Memory Context Restore AND Memory Power Down. ASUS BIOS should do both automatically when one is enabled. Fast boot helps as well, 13second boot times. - Audio is done by Realtek ALC4080 which does audio over USB and has “impedance detection”. This does not work. It detects 80ohm headphones as over 1000ohms, massively over amplifying the signal. Realtek audio drivers (not Microsoft defaults) and Realtek Audio Console must be installed to manually change amplifying level, but ohm detection is still wrong. This fixes sound level, but ALC4080 implementation and noise isolation is still bad. Get constant crackles during any bass notes above 50% volume. Especially when CPU utilization or Ethernet utilization is high due to bad isolation. Stick to motherboards that use ALC 800/1200. I will be returning this when the ASRock B850 boards come out.

Despues de 3 meses de haberla comprado me sale un problema con el driver de internet de intel i225v, pierde conexion de internet conectado con el rj45 y es muy molesto mientras juego videojuegos, pero por la antena wifi funciona correctamente, aunque actualizara la bios de la placa sigue igual con el problema

La primera que me enviaron no funcionó, pedí el reemplazo y tampoco funcionó. Muy mala experiencia más de un mes tratando de armar la pc.
