I got my motherboard a couple to 3 months ago. It was to outfit a new PC build after 9 years with my previous ASUS motherboard. This board had the features I wanted, it looked good, was a well-thought-out design and had the features I desired to have on it. The design is esthetically pleasing to look at, and it was easy to get set-up with my other components. It's performed well with the Ryzen CPU I paired it with and no issues using it. I feel I chose the right motherboard for my needs. So far, it's functioning like a solid product.

Part of my new computer pc build, when selecting the parts list. Specs of the motherboard meet what I was looking for in terms of gaming ability support. Highly recommend if looking for Republic of Gamers products.

I bought this motherboard about a year ago and the audio just stopped working. I called ASUS support for technical assistance. They had me look at settings in my desktop and asked what trouble shooting I had performed. They got my information and then passed the issue to their second level support. Instead of receiving a call, all I received were links for me to use to solve my problem and let us know if you need anything else. ASUS needs to create a Support category for review.

Bought this motherboard in December and I can comfortably say it works like a charm. I would highly recommend this board to anyone building a pc and is looking for a pretty good board for an affordable price. Definitely got lucky finding this board as it was the last one in stock at microcenter!

I really love this board. Bios is familiar and easy to navigate, and the board runs great! Only thing I'd do different if I had to do it all over again is that I would get the wifi version for a few dollars more. Otherwise this is pretty much perfect.

The B-550-F board came in great condition, and I was able to start assembling my new pc. Pros: > PCIE 4.0 speed. > BIOS flashback button. > Lots of USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports. Cons: > This board does not have a wifi/bluetooth card on it. I knew I needed a new motherboard with PCIE 4.0, but I forgot to check if they came with wifi/bluetooth cards installed. // I personally would've spent more money to get those features, but it's not a deal breaker for me anymore. > No USB-C motherboard header. Overall: I'd recommend this board, and if you don't want to use AUX, or wired xbox controller, then you should spend more for a motherboard with it. // I could buy wifi card, or bluetooth, but thats just extra steps I'd have to take. // ALSO, if you are using an AIO cooler, then you might get a CPU FAN ERROR when your pc posts. The solution that worked for me, was to go into BIOS and set the cpu fan from Monitor -> Ignore. and it worked.
