ASUS TUF Gaming B650-PLUS WiFi AMD B650 AM5 Ryzen™ Desktop 9000 8000 and 7000 ATX Motherboard, 14 Power Stages, PCIe® 5.0 M.2, DDR5 Memory, WiFi 6 and 2.5 Gb Ethernet, USB4® Support Aura Sync

Absolutely solid motherboard. It came with Bios that registered and worked with the AMD AM5 9800x3d, and since then has had four BIOS updates. I engaged with two with little issue and everything has been working perfectly, so I've been hesitant to grab the others. The bios has a solid suite of features. Good fan controls, and plenty of OC/UC options. I configured it for EXPO with my RAM and it's been stable since then with no extra tweaking. Usually I skimped on motherboards, essentially the cheapest part of my rig. I spent a little more on this and I think it was worth it in the long run.

There are newer chipsets and I largely went with this because of the price to get to the AM5/DDR5 platform without having to sell a kidney. The firmware was pre-flashed with a version that already supported Zen 5 already, so I didn't have to try to figure out how the headless flash function works. There was still a newer firmware version out there, so I still recommend updating, but you should be able to do so as normal through the menus. There is a lot to be said about ASUS one way or the other, but the motherboard firmwares are pretty good with excellent options. There are bonus extras that many others forget like the uncore/memory "OC mode" which doesn't actually overclock (they should probably change that name) but can help with performance. There are lots of other little things here and there, some of which I haven't seen in a few of the other firmwares right now. Nothing major, but altogether you have a lot of control over your system configuration. This doesn't only allow for good overclocking, but just better control altogether (for example, even lowering clocks is easy to do if you want a system to run cooler and quieter.) It even can override CPU speed to a fixed speed if one was so inclined (you have to be _very_ careful with this, but it can yield good results if the cooling can handle it.) The WiFi and Bluetooth functions were a nice little bonus. In Linux they just worked right out of the box for me, so big plus there. (I half expected that they wouldn't work and I'm sure ASUS wasn't thinking of Linux users, but I'm really glad that it does work. Nice bonus feature.) I didn't even know about the Bluetooth until I saw it show up in Linux, but that's a very useful feature to have built in to the motherboard. It also has three M.2 slots, though I'm a bit confused about the PCI-E/M2 configuration in this system. I originally read this as a PCI-Express 5.0 system, but it may only be the first M.2 slot? Very confusing. If it's PCI-E 4.0 only on the PCI-E slot perhaps that will limit later GPU options, but today even if a PCI-E 5.0 card comes out I seriously doubt it could utilize the capabilities of 5.0. All in all a really good bang for the buck if you're looking for something that isn't the absolute top of the line but has plenty of features. The fact that it just works right out of the box with Linux also is an excellent plus.

Excellent mainboard so far, I am using it with an AMD Ryzen 9600X with no issues. The RAM runs at 7000 megatransfers and is very, very stable. No problems at all. I love the variety of ports (USB etc) and install was easy. Wifi works great. No issues at all. I use it for a light gaming and general use machine and it works very well. The audio output is fine with some decent speakers and headphones. No cooling issues with the power conversion, or anything.

A workhorse! Ran it 5,000 hours in under 12 months, became a Fortnite Creator, went to school full time for digital design, built a local ai, edited countless videos, overclocked the 4070ti super I had attached to it daily for several months, NEVER ONCE HAD A PROBLEM, glitch, surge, shitdown, absolutely ran flawless till I sold it last week to upgrade to its predecessor. I love this board. Aside from the enormous learning curve regarding the bios, something I will constantly complain about till a real instruction manual is actually made for any of these mobos not just this one, but the overall durability was unmatched in my 40 years of computing. Great for first time builders and pairs flawlessly with the asus tuf gaming gt502 case, a must for this board, even nowadays, the tuf gaming 4070ti super oc 16, crucial 6000mhz ddr5 ram 32gb perfect size and speed for gaming almost any game btw, nzxt elite kraken 360mm aio cooler, asus tuf gaming 1000w power supply, and a Samsung pro 990 nvme m.2 2tb ssd, and make sure above all you get a cpu aluminum frame, and fans that spin at least 3000 rpms and the extra that sit behind the mobo and you have the perfect pc for design school, streaming with two monitors and gaming Fortnite with maxed out graphics and 240fps Your welcome ;) Btw Flitenite and Liquibox are two maps I published as a Fortnite creator, playable right now and yes those are real player counts, and I owe it to this masterpiece mobo OMG almosr forgot the cpu was an amd ryzen 9 7950x total build nowadays can be done under $2k

Amazing motherboard! The 12 overall USB ports, including a USB-C port on the back, are the most I've seen on an Micro ATX board overall, these will become super useful long-term. Additionally, the 3x M.2 slots are being fully utilised which is great for a small form factor build! What I found most-useful is that the main PCI-e slot is occupying the 2nd slot within my PC case. This is allowing me to use a taller ATX Power Supply towards the top of my case whilst also being able to use a longer graphics card. The BIOS has been easy to navigate and I'm able to configure the CPU to be as efficient as possible after tweaking settings. 100% would recommend!

Eindelijk een moederbord dat werkt met deze processor. Hiervoor een GIGABYTE B650 EAGLE AX geprobeerd maar kreeg steeds het RAM LED foutmelding, niets hielp, ook niet de Q Flash bios. Met deze ASus TUF B650 Plus had ik oorspronkelijk ook de RAM error, maar de BIOS USB Flash update werkte hier wel feiloos, en de foutmeldingen waren verdwenen. Wel kreeg ik bij de instalatie van W11 een melding dat mijn hardware niet compatibel was, hiervoor heb ik op het internet een oplossing gevonden. Géén probleem meer sinds de installatie.

Ho acquistato questa scheda madre per una build di fascia medio-alta. ✔️Lati positivi: I materiali utilizzati dalla scheda madre sembrano ottimi. Ho particolarmente apprezzato l'estetica dei dissipatori e i colori utilizzati. La scheda presenta vari slot NVMe tra cui uno addirittura Gen5 per chi ci si vuole cimentare. Apprezzatissimi i dissipatori passivi posti sopra gli slot NVMe che aiutano a mantenere delle basse temperature. I vari ingressi per le ventole sono facili da raggiungere aiutando così a nascondere varia cavetteria. La scheda di rete WiFi e Bluetooth funziona molto bene, utilissima soprattutto quella Bluetooth per collegarci eventuali controller wireless. ❌Lati negativi: Non ho capito il perchè ci sia uno slot NVMe 22110. Sono usati pochissimo e si fa fatica a reperirli, spesso a prezzi altissimi e con dimensioni non ottimali. Personalmente avrei preferito di gran lunga un altro slot 2280. ❗Attenzione per i Ryzen 9000! I Ryzen 9000 non vengono da subito riconosciuti, facendo accendere alla scheda madre un led giallo fisso. È necessario effettuare prima un aggiornamento del BIOS, quindi preparatevi una chiavetta pronta per l'uso! ✅Consigliatissima! Tralasciando la necessità di aggiornare il BIOS per i Ryzen 9000 non ho trovato alcun altro difetto nella scheda madre. Il prezzo è molto competitivo e poche le alternative migliori sul mercato a questo prezzo, consigliata a chiunque!

Sin duda es un mother bastante buena, en cuanto a conexiones y puertos, es compatible con la serie 7000 y creo que con una actualización de bios a las nuevas 9000 es una placa que se ve duradera almenos de momento que la tengo desde febrero al día de hoy no tengo ningúna queja a funcionado bien con todos mis componentes. Lo que si que estaba entre está y la de msi tomahawk b650 así que si realmente no hay mucha diferencia o alguna está más baja de precio elige la que esté más baja ya que realmente son bastante parecidas por lo que investigue en su tiempo y si por alguna razón quieres tener está asus tuf la verdad no creo que te decepcione, con pci 4.0, 3 ranuras para ssd, diseño robusto y eso que puse los postes mal acomodados y tuve que hace un show con un alicate aún así obviamente con sumo cuidado pero no pasó nada y si quieren consejo sobre ello: Revisen bien los postes a la hora de atornillar la tarjeta a el chasis del gabinete, revisar bien también que tipo de tornillo va, ya que puse uno que no era y después fue un rollo tener que quitarlo, pero ese fue FALLO MIO, la mother sin problema y tiene además bios flashback.

Todo cool, todo perron, cumple con lo esperado.
