Loving This Motherboard! My Experience!
Honestly any reviews on this motherboard about booting up is the end user who didn’t listen well about building first time pc hardware together. My first time putting together this hardware was fun and scary experience for me.Motherboard didn’t boot up fully; I freaked out and said i got a defect motherboard. I was so wrong and stupid, the likely causes are either motherboard, cpu, or ram sticks. Bios on the motherboard was out of date and root caused on why the yellow dram light turning on and main issues on booting up.I had to redo all the Fan pins connecting again so it’s in order starting with main case fans and water cooler pump/fans. RPG on the water cooler fans were cool but not a main thing for me as long as it cools the cpu heat greatly which does i believe. I can’t say for 100% sure since I haven’t had a desktop PC in years especially one that is gaming desktop pc over normal desktop computers are.I picked an AMD CPU Ryzen 5 7600X since its friendly budget cpu and handles all my gaming needs greatly. It can handle 5200mhz speeds from ram good. The system rams are Corsair Vengeance DDR5 clock at 5200mhz speeds, two sticks of 8gb for total of 16GB in duel memory channel mode. Plan to upgrade it to 32gb later on.Cpu cooler is water cooler by Corsair H100xRGP elite liquid cooler. Finally main boot drive is crucially p3 plus 1TB gen 4 which has incredible read and write rate speeds that the motherboard handles like a pro.Motherboard has many USB ports for connecting USB of different speeds like USB 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 and USB type C as well two of then for 10 or 20 speeds. I would had love if it supported USB 3.0 speeds or higher since they are already backwards compatible towards older usb speeds. Anyway we have 4 x usb 2.0 ports, two usb 3.0 ports, and finally two usb c ports for connecting with. One Ethernet connection port that gives 2.5 gigabytes speeds for online experience.The system is fully stable on running all the hardware perfectly. I plan to upload a video review so keep eye out for other parts mentioned here.

As of the time of writing this review, I’m on “Level III Support” with ASUS just to get an RMA
As the headline indicates, I am now currently waiting on a call from “Level III” support from ASUS. I’ve cleared the boss fights from Level I and II, gained a couple of spells, purchased slightly better equipment, and can now fast travel.Still, I wonder how many levels deep this dungeon goes.I’ve been an ASUS fan for many years, purchasing their motherboards and routers exclusively. Aware of the quirks of the AM5 platform, I wanted a B650 board and I instinctively went for the ASUS ROG line based on several reviews. I saw a few issues here and there such as the inability to post with 2 sticks of RAM until the bios is flashed, but these types of problems seem to plague each gen and are mostly addressable. This blind faith in ASUS combined with rationalization was ultimately my downfall.In addition to all of this, I would also like to mention that in the 2 decades + of building my gaming PCs, I have been fortunate to have never had to RMA a motherboard (or processor) before. I’ve been extremely lucky I suppose, so it’s highly likely that this is my time. I can accept this.What I cannot accept are the layers of insulation that ASUS seems to have built around themselves to deflect the issues that appear to plague their boards (after a deeper dive into the cesspool that is Reddit).I’m doing a straightforward build with an AMD 7800X3D processor, 32 GB of Asus approved Corsair RAM, AMD 7900 GRE GPU, and M.2 storage. Nothing crazy. All new components.I’ve covered the troubleshooting with ASUS support, and even sent images to which they don’t even reference. The ASUS Hat Trick I’m experiencing is comprised of:1.) CPU Over voltage error on boot2.) Will not post with more than 1 stick of RAM despite being in the suggested slot/configuration3.) Cannot flash BIOS through EZFlash 3, nor Windows utility (once I was able to hobble into an install)ASUS Support has not been helpful at all, has not listened to my troubleshooting process, nor have they referenced my pictures. In addition, their last communication was that I likely have CPU pins bent and to replace my processor.Unless I’m clinically insane, the AM5 pins are on the socket of the motherboard, not the CPU.As I gear up for the next boss fight, I’d implore you to consider not giving ASUS your hard-earned money. My low rating is not due to a defective item. Every manufacturer can have issues. It’s the terrible customer service I am receiving, and all the deflection I am experiencing with ASUS.For now, I’ve ordered an MSI Tomahawk board to replace this one as I continue the fight to have the ROG Strix B650R-F board RMA’ed.I will update my review if/when there is a resolution.

Esta muy bien esta placa, me ha dado un buen rendimiento y en mi m.2 hace una buena disipación con el que trae la placa, y en cuanto a los demás no me ha dado algún problema, todo vino muy bien y sin ningún error, me gustó que trajera un bloqueador de la tarjeta de video para que quede trabada, no sé muy bien cómo se llama pero me gustó ese detalle. Lo que no me gustó es que tiene muy pocos conectores USB y al tener que pagar este precio pues se me hace muy decepcionante, compré un hub de USB de NZXT y al menos el hub con la placa no me dio ningún problema y lo detectó correctamente ya que detectó correctamente cada una de las cosas que conecte ahí, ya que tengo hubs de ventiladores y demás en el así que por ese apartado no hubo problema, y también en las conexiones de ventiladores y argb y rgb pues creo que no son muchos pero meh, son aceptables. Y aparte trae un led que se ve en las imágenes que puse que se puede configurar con el software de armory crate junto con las cosas que pongas en la placa si tiene compatibilidad con armory crate, en mi caso tengo 2 RAM que se les puede cambiar el RGB y ningún problema en ese apartado. Lo que sí no me gustó igual es que está demasiada cara para lo que ofrece, ya que como dije, no tiene muchos puertos usb, y pues de rgb y de ventiladores a mi parecer si quieres poner como 9 o 10 en tu gabinete o más, por ese precio puedes comprar otras muy buenas como de MSI o de Aorus u otra que no recuerdo el nombre pero tiene estética como de engranajes, está muy buena esa también. Aún así por este precio te llevas una placa demasiado buena, tanto en compatibilidad como en estética ya que ese color blanco se ve súper bien, si te sobra el dinerito pues cómprala si no te importa lo que puede o no traer, ya que puedes comprar cosas aparte si es que puedes

Justo lo que buscaba. Funciona de maravilla con mi procesador Ryzen 7800x3d
