Asus ROG Strix B550-A GAMING Desktop Motherboard - AMD Chipset - Socket AM4 - ATX (246266)

I have had the motherboard for years and have not had to troubleshoot or nothing. It's served well and still gonna keep going. I went with this one cause of Linus tech tips.

I think it is a great MOBO and the white/silver tone makes it even better. one of the best things is that its also Ryzen 5000 series ready out of the box. my only issue is that it is a little pricey but I would still recommend buying it even for that little bit more, its worth it.

ASUS for the Win. Every MOBO that comes to this house is ASUS. Only brand I trust!

Easy install. Looks very nice in the custom built Pc I did. A couple months in and runs great.

Wish I would have gotten the WiFi version but it's good for the price

Has been running for a while now doing great. Easy to install.

Much better than my previous b450 asrock board, allows me to run my ram at full speed no problem, easy to wire up and quite sleek looking.

I was looking to upgrade my PC to the AMD Ryzen 5000 series and needed a new MB. So I took a risk on an open box MB (looking to save a few $$$), I should have just gone straight to this when I was buying as the open box MB didn't work (go figure). Bought this one and worked perfectly! It was an upgrade to the open box MB so I'm very happy all around.

As of tonight, 5 days into building my new computer I am still stuck in the BIOS. At first I couldn't get into BIOS but I managed to finally get there. Now I can't find the hard drive in the BIOS and it won't boot. Always something with this thing. I have been building computers for 20 years and this is the first time I have had problems not software related. Hoping to get it right so I can use it.

I love the look of this board fits my build well. After reading description after description for various boards and CPU coolers I decided on this board as it has plenty of options including AURASYNC. Sadly AURASYNC wouldnt work once I got Windows 10 updated. My coolers LED would only default to the rainbow glow rendering all the setting I got the cooler for pointless. After trouble shooting for days I decided to get a different cooler and accept ASUS is probably another company that only really cares about new purchases from customers and will never resolve an issue thats a BOLD selling point in all their marketing.
