It booted right up with 3400G, I did not have to update bios. I switched right away to DOHCP/XMP profile in bios for 3200MHz memory speed and it booted fine. BUT! Every time I reboot now is like a roulette. And I am not changing anything in the bios. Sometimes it boots fine, sometimes it double- or triple-boots but still ends up at 3200MHz, and sometimes it does not post and resets to default 2133. Then if I restart again it may boot just fine. Once it boots, it runs solid for days at a time. It only froze on me when I played around with Ryzen Master (make sure to know where the cmos reset jumper is if you do that) and played with SOC voltage. I tried many things. Have the latest bios. But still the same issue. Kind of annoying even though I don’t reboot that often. ... MoreIt booted right up with 3400G, I did not have to update bios.

Good thing I can save bios settings in profiles, so if I need to reset to defaults or clear cmos, I can load a profile with basic changes fast (like turn off LEDs, fan profile, etc). It seems like the board sometimes is not saving some important memory-related settings and has to adjust by multi booting. By the way, the memory is not on the board’s QVL but the board is on the G.Skill’s QVL.

I ordered this back when it was marked as backlogged. Once I received it, I checked to make sure everything was fine. Then I noticed the booklet was in, what I assume was Chinese. If I was a person who was building their PC for the first time, I would of have been lost and unsure where to go. I don't know if I was a rare case or what. Aside from that, the front audio I didn't bother to plug in, as I am unsure how to route it. The front audio was just long enough, but it look like it would of put strain on the cable (Phantek Mini ITX case). The Motherboard won't pick up the profile of my ram. It detects the profile, but when trying to tune it to that setting, it would power cycle a bit before setting it back to 2133. OVA list seems to be a bit lacking. It starts off ...

It detects the profile, but when trying to tune it to that setting, it would power cycle a bit before setting it back to 2133. OVA list seems to be a bit lacking. It starts off with 3400, which only shows 1. The list doesn't fully expand until you get into the 3600+ range. I understand that new Ryzen loves higher clocked ram. 3200 is more of a sweet spot. If a kit that says on the memory's website (Gskill) says it works, but the motherboard's site doesn't start at 3200... I tried the AMD RAM calculator, but that seems not to work either. So I guess I got a board or memory that don't play well with each other. RGB is something this board has little of. If you want to go for lack of lighting, then this would work.The only thing the board has for lighting is along the 24pin side. That can be turned off in the BIOS. I wished the board would turn off those lights when the PC is powered off, by default. The board only have three 4-pin headers for fans, one being the CPU. Which leaves you with 2. If you plan on using this in a case that has more fans, pick up a fan spliter.
I would recommend this to others. The Bios is really easy to navigate and use. Everything I have hooked up works with no issues. I have overclocked the CPU, GPU, and RAM just fine. ASUS has software you can download that will update your BIOS and other misc things, worked perfectly for me. I just updated to latest Bios a couple weeks ago no issues. If you plan on having more than like 2 case fans you will need to get a fan hub controller. I can't really think of any issues with this board because I haven't ran into any in my usage. I use it for general purpose and gaming.

Don't get me wrong, this motherboard is probably not suited for more demanding tasks, but I use it with a Ryzen 3100 (4 thread/8 core) for a private Minecraft server and it does the job really well. So, with the low-end CPU, the server is not really pushing the motherboard too hard. I even use an old power-supply which only have a 4-pin "CPU" connector. This work fine by the way, with no warning from the system. And it's probably no issue since there is no real power demand. I would not do this with higher-end CPU and loaded PCI/NVMe slots, but here, apart from the CPU, I only have graphic card that is there only to display a text console (Linux-based server).

So, this is lower-end Motherboard which I bought for a budget, knowing it's limitations (I didn't need to get higher end for what I do). But if you intend to push it a pit more, like having a higher core count CPU with NVMe/PCIe/DDR4 demanding more power, then I would advise for a motherboard with better VRM and with heatsink on it. So, I rated 5/5, where some other people would rate it lower, but it just shows that you really need to do your homework and get what you need for what you are demanding of your system. I know, that's not straightforward with all the different brands and flavors of motherboards, but I hope this review can help. Basically, one of the difference between those low-priced Mobo and their higher priced siblings is the better VRM on higher ends. So, in conclusion, this is perfect for a system built on a budget where you do not require high power load.
This is a pretty good motherboard for the price. I mean, it's not going to win any performance awards, but it's still good. However, when I set up my computer everything was working nicely until I shut down. When I turned it back on, my settings didn't save. Obviously I checked the CMOS and found the socket was loose. I called ASUS to report this, sent them photo and video proof. They will fix it but because it's physical damage, it is NOT covered by the warranty....even though it was like this out of the box. Brand new motherboard and I have to pay to get it fixed or replaced even though it was broken before I ever touched it. I guess ASUS doesn't fix their product problems. Probably won't be buying an ASUS mobo again because of this lack of service.
You're probably better off with something cheaper non-RGB because you won't be able to get it to work anyway. Edit: I did finally manage to get Aura working under version 1.05.16. However, my plan was always to set it to white since my build involved a Thermaltake V1 Snow Edition. The "white" the RGB does looks terrible, not a true white, you can see the individual colors of the leds and sprays of color from them. The music setting is kinda neat but I wish I could set a solid color there too. Most setting are rainbowish. Bad review still stands for all the time I wasted, the insane amount of restarts, and colors I cannot use. If you want anything besides solid red green or blue, you are going to be able to see the individual colors and it just looks awful. But then ...

Of the 12 supposed USB connections on this board (1x USB 3.1gen2, 5x USB 3.1gen1, 6x USB 2), only half are available at the rear of the motherboard. (1x USB 3.1gen2, 3x USB 3.1 gen1, 2x USB 2). One of those 3 USB 3.1gen1 ports is a type C port that is really more common on the device end of the cable. NewEgg didn't clearly specify these details and there was no manual link from the product page. Even if there had been, the manual doesn't give you pinouts for the numerous jumper pins on the board. Instead they provide a QR code that leads you to a couple of Taiwanese landing pages before you get to the English PDF containing the jumper pins. I had to do all of this on my phone while repairing my PC. This is below ASUS' normal quality standards in my opinion. I had ...

I had wanted this board to connect several peripherals but I'd need to buy extra board-to-chassis USB ports just to make it functional. By the time you figure these into the cost, it's better to buy a different board. I will be returning this one.
I have this paired with with a 2600, 2 x 8 Corsair rgb pro (3000cl15), and a deep cool gammax gt cooler. Breezes through everything running at stock settings. Ram originally defaulted to 2133. Set to DOCP and came up 3000cl16. Apparently Ryzen only can be ran at even numbered latencies. So I tried bumping up to 3200cl16 to make up for the looser timings and works just fine. My cpu cooler blocks the first ram slot( bummer). Board had no video on first post. Did a hard reset and everything came up fine ( not the first Mobo that I’ve experienced this with) Saw reviews on other sites that usb powered devices stay on when computer is shut off. This can be turned off in bios. Also motherboard led light is set to be left on when computer is off. This can be turned off in ...

Have not over clocked yet. Saving 5 star review until that has been tested
