Pros & Cons


After many generations of console gaming I wasn't impressed with PS5 or Xbox Series X. So I built a gaming PC, at first went with Gigabyte Aorus B550I Pro AX ITX board and what a mistake. Gigabyte motherboards are plagued with faults such as Ethernet, Bluetooth, USB, RGB Fusion etc. - AVOID Gigabyte B550I/X570 motherboards! Returned back for refund. I went with ASUS ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING II.


Packaging

Nice and safely packaged along with accessories such as ASUS ROG stickers, manual, 4x SATA cable (2x in the form of L shape), M.2 screws and standoffs along with M.2 thermal pad.


Build Quality & Design

Motherboard feels premium and has the ASUS ROG signature in terms of design.


I/O Ports

There are a lot of ports on the back I/O.

1 x Intel® I211-AT 1Gb Ethernet

1 x PS/2 keyboard/mouse combo port(s)

1 x DisplayPort

1 x HDMI

2 x USB 3.2 Gen 2

3 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A

1 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 USB Type-C®

2 x USB 2.0

1 x Optical S/PDIF out

5 x Audio jack(s)

1 x BIOS FlashBack™ Button(s)


FlashBack

Simply drop the (UEFI) BIOS file (from ASUS website) onto a FAT32 formatted USB stick, plug it into the USB BIOS Flashback port and press the Flashback button next to it. No CPU or RAM install is needed. Great for those using latest AMD Ryzen CPU.


Performance

So I have this motherboard setup with following components mentioned below. Been gaming for several hours and not a single problem unlike Gigabyte. AURA Sync works perfectly even with AMD Wraith Prism Cooler. ASUS ROG software are top notch.

AMD Ryzen 3600 XT

AMD Wraith Prism Cooler

TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB 16GB (2x 8GB) 3200MHz DDR4 RAM

Gigabyte 3060 Ti Eagle OC

WD 1TB NVMe SN550

Corsair TX650M 650W


BIOS

Is great and so many features to tweak. BIOS user interface is nice and clean. You can switch between Easy and Advanced modes. I didn't update BIOS. Out of the box it's been perfect.


Price

For the price this is a great board. Great quality motherboard especially the ASUS ROG series.


Bluetooth/Wi-Fi

This motherboard does not have built-in Bluetooth or Wi-Fi however there is a slot to install Bluetooth/Wi-Fi card on the motherboard - M.2 slot (Key E) (Support PCIe interface)


Conclusion

I would highly recommend this motherboard. Premium quality for the price! I paid £89.99. I will always recommend ASUS ROG over Gigabyte Aorus.
