ASUSPRIME B550M-A (WI-FI), AMD AM4, MATX, 128GB DDR4,4DIMM, D-SUB, DVI-D, HDMI

I bought three Asus Motherboards at Christmas time - the B550M TUF (mAtx), a B550 ROG Strix-F and this B550 TUF. I use this board with a Ryzen 3600, an RTX 3060ti and a Samsung NVME 970 Evo. They have worked flawlessly together since then. This board has some great features - space for 2 NVME drives, a thunderbolt header, multiple USB options at the rear including USB-C and good looks. The ARGB headers made life very easy to configure an attractive system. In some ways, I prefer the more subtle looks of this board to the Strix, although there's no doubt I'd go for that one if I wanted the more blingy system.The system has been really solid and configuration was a breeze. The only issues I'd watch out for is read the manual, as some SATA ports are disabled if you are using the PCI-E 3 NVME socket.My sole minor issues with this board is the choice of a bespoke 14 pin thunderbolt 3 header, different from other manufacturers choices and the lack of a second heatsink for the top NVME drive. That said, the thunderbolt issue is a niche feature that most buyers won't require, and shouldn't put them off purchase because they can always buy the Asus supported card. As far as the heatsink goes, I bought a drive with one on anyway, so it wasn't a problem and unless you're using a really fast drive, it's probably not necessary anyway.Highly recommended!

I needed to upgrade my cpu, I had an i5 2400 and really wanted to upgrade but in order to upgrade the cpu i needed to upgrade the motherboard.I went with this one because it was a lot cheaper than some other flashier ones, I’m not to bothered about how it looks I’m only bothered that it works so because it’s ASUS I thought it would be good.I was so surprised how good it actually was for the price.I wasn’t sure that it would take certain cpus, like the ryzen 3000 series so I went for a ryzen 2600x but that’s another story.On the box it says I does work with the ryzen 3000 series I so I will upgrade at another date.Loading into the bios the update was pretty recent I think from around April 2020 so it only needed one update which was the most recent update and this was easy to do as I was connected to the internet, and it was fast.The motherboard seems to stay around 35 - 45 degrees depending on the work loads and ambient temperatures and as I bought this during a heat wave I’m expecting those temps to drop when this killer heat dies down.Only one con I can think of is the io metal shield part, it felt cheaply made and it didn’t seem to sit quite right with the connection from the mother board, I had to bend little bits I don’t know if that was just me doing it wrong or not, it fit fine but I wasn’t totally happy with it.So if you are looking for a decent no frills motherboard for AMD Ryzen 3000 series this is a good motherboard as far as I can tell.

Bought the ASUS B450-M prime to go with a low end Ryzen 3 1200 (not the APU, will be used for flashing BIOS's on other boards). Couple it with two sticks of DDR 4 -2400 Crucial RAM and off I go on my test bench. First boot took an aeon - be patient, sat at the "ASUS press F1or delete to enter the BIOS" splash screen for ages and then entered the BIOS. First thing to do is update the BIOS as it was on version 1002, so updated it to latest. Reboot and entered the BIOS quite quickly this time. Changed some settings for me (don't use Windows etc so need to change UEFI settings, that's another tale) and rebooted with an attached hard drive pre-installed with Ubuntu 18.04 (Linux for the windows users) Operating system. Boot straight into BIOS - now I am not shouting, but this is a BIG THING with ASUS motherboards - IF NO BOOT DEVICE IS DETECTED IT WILL GENERALLY BOOT INTO THE UEFI BIOS. If your board does this, it means 99% of the time the hard drive be it old style hard drive, SSD, NVMe has not been detected. Check your BIOS settings and any cables. In my case it was the SATA cable, replaced and booted into Ubuntu in seconds. I have windows 10 to go on an external USB 3 enclosure and that boots in about 8 seconds and will run SKY GO no problems.So, so far so good, seems a nice solid board with pretty LEDs on the PCI-e slot and motherboard. It is not a small micro ATX board as it has four RAM slots, so it is more extended micro ATX. It has six SATA ports and one M2 slot - VERY IMPORTANT, IF YOU USE THIS SLOT, SATA PORTS 5 and 6 ARE DISABLED as it shares bandwidth with them.

It is holding my pc parts in place very nicely, nothing is falling out. It works great and has amazing settings and very easy to use on my pc tbh. It is worth buying :) However, one thing is that the usb-c I accidentally broke which is my fault but also kind of the motherboard since the black piece was not glued onto the motherboard.

The media could not be loaded.  My ryzen 5600 worked straight out the box!Had to get this one due to the board I was originally getting didn’t have next day. Therefore ordered this instead.Was surprised to see it was ryzen 5000 ready with a sticker showing on the box. Was prepared to use the built in bios flash back.Nice to have all usb 3 / 3.2 ports on the back. And the addition of NVME drives. Which I will be getting soon.Really simple board to wire up and was fun to move to amd after using intel for years.Will enjoy this board until I need to upgrade my 1070 in the coming year or 2 which will be replaced for one with PCI-E Gen 4 to maximise performance for a newer GPU5 stars all day.

The media could not be loaded.  I was worried when i bought this mobo that it would require a bios update for a ryzen 5 5600g having read comments online regarding compatibility issues. However to my surprise it shipped with bios version 2803, the recommended is above 1401. So it worked out of the box with 5600g for me.

my previous motherboard broke so i decided to buy this one, i paired it with a ryzen 5700x and it worked right out the box without any bios update which to me was perfect.

only issue ive had is with the lighting on the board, this my be user error but doesnt seem like theres anyway to change/turn off the lighting. Other than that good MB does what it's supposed to.

I've always liked Asus products and this MB lives up to my expectations. It's been very stable and does everything I want it to do very well.

Tuve problemas para actualizar ya que necesitaba un procesador más antiguo y termine gastando más de lo que vale la placa 🤣

2 Slots NVME PCI41 slot WI-FISlot pra placa de vídeo com PCIe 4.Slot bom de expansão é o que não falta.BIOS da ASUS é a melhor na minha opinião.

Funkar jättebra med en Ryzen 5 3600.

J'ai monter mon pc gaming il y à 1 an avec carte mère, et il y à 6 mois j'ai même fait une mis à jour du bios tout fonctionne nickel.
