The system doesn't boot
3/5

The display is not shown. This looks like a nice board, but my HD 7750 doesn't manage to bring up the display. I have cleared the CMOS with a jumper and then by removing the battery. However, the card does not produce a signal on this machine regardless of the PCIe slot in which it is inserted, and I have tested it with both systems. Since my CPU does not have built-in graphics and I have no other video card, I cannot use my CPU with built-in graphics. My problem with it is that it is pretty much useless The build turned out a bit differently than I imagined / Please edit (

Big kudos to Amazon for refunding my credit card, I had no idea this would happen.

USB 3 header for the front
3/5

This motherboard is generally nice, but 0 of the screws fell off. It has all the features I was looking for as well With the 5Gb LAN, Wifi, 4 RAM slots, dual PCIE, and two M cards, it is a steal. Each slot has two rows. **Unfortunately, the pin guide on the USB 3. 0 doesn't appear to be working properly. There was no header on the motherboard because when I extended the pin guide to unplug my front IO connections, the cable came off with it. This is the first time I have encountered this issue and after a few minutes on the bench I was able to match the pins back up and get it back onto the motherboard as it was, however I do believe it is a quality control issue which needs to be fixed.

This motherboard is plug n play and very fast
5/5

A power supply consists of the following A gaming monitor compatible with Gamemax RGB750 A Asus TUF Gaming B550M on the Rainbow motherboard Intel Quad-core AMD AM4* CPU PLUS (WiFi 6) This AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-core processor features A core memory The hardware specifications for the TridentZ RGB Series 32GB DDR4 3200MHz*GFX card are as follows I used to have an older slower sata 1TB HD but I switched to Windows 10 and it has worked flawlessly until now. My system has been running since 1/26/2i and I have played every game ever made. A flight simulator for the year The half-way point It is a great micro-build for life and Alyx, running oculus rift links for quests, etc
xbr>so in summary I am very satisfied with this build. It is stable, so in conclusion great job! The motherboard should be a type X. I updated the BIOS once it was up and running, with no problems or rgb support.

There are some concerns with the design of the product
3/5

Features that are decent. A common stock cooler for Ryzen 5 3600 (which is the processor line that this board's chipset is designed for) blocks a RAM port, making it nearly impossible to access. There will be a need to saw on your cooler for 4 sticks of RAM to fit (or in order to do that, you should remove the RAM heat sinks and slide them under the cooler). ASUS should have taken that into consideration! What was the outcome of the product testing? While the board's features and functionality appear comparable to those of other boards in its class, it seems to lack in some areas.

Could this be the best mATX board? During April 2021, when it was the worst time to buy PC hardware, I jumped on I got a ryzen computer early
5/5

I had wanted a Ryzen computer for several years, but just couldn't find the right opportunity, so I bought it early. In my opinion, I overspent on the ryzen 5 3600, but it's still cheaper than the X570 I got for over 230 bucks. I'm running the thermaltake S100, a white case, and opted not to add In the end I discovered this motherboard has RGB capability, under the yellow warning tape looking thing on the right side there is a RGB under there, which I have disabled under the BIOS. The RGB elements might be added later, but right now I'm satisfied with it as it is. It's awesome to have WiFi. In spite of living so far away, I get the full 115mbps of spectrum even though I have a Netgear R6700v2 running on a 5GHz AC channel. There are two major concepts. It is fantastic to have 5G Ethernet ports. I do not possess this capability yet, but I'm looking forward to using In addition to several RGB fan headers, it has an aura sync RGB header as well. You can use it for RGB purposes, so it's a good option. A micro ATX board with 4 memory dim slots is a sure thing! It is possible for some motherboards to only have two. There are 2 m between the two poles. The expansion slot has two rows. My NVMe drive is an SK Hynix S31 gold. It is mounted under the GPU's heat sink. The instructions for installing it should be followed. I do not notice any slowdown in the performance of the drive, and the system is handling it fine. As far as instructions are concerned. There is less to be desired in the instruction manual. This assumes that you are familiar with computers and will work it out for yourself. In my experience, motherboards for dual channel memory modes either have an obvious color scheme or a number, depending on the part. While it was color coded, it did not make any sense to install one over the other, and neither did the manual. Having to scour the Internet for pictures of people who had such a device and see how they installed theirs to figure out where to put the memory was a real challenge for me. I would like to point out that this is not my first computer build. Having not tweaked this CPU much, I don't know how well it performs. To turn on DOCP (XMP), all I had to do was turn it on. The boot order has to be changed because I transferred from my old machine. Despite the fact that this motherboard does so many amazing things, I've never been able to figure out why it does it. If I nudge or move my Logitech g203 mouse, the RGB light inside the mouse turns on when the computer is off but not when it is on. Having to turn the computer on and then turn it off to turn off my mouse is not working for me, it must be because I am attached to a UPS or it must be that the bios is configured to allow a machine to wake up automatically from USB. When I tried looking for one of those settings, I couldn't find it. As a whole, I'm very happy with this board. Asus hit the ball out of the park with it. In my opinion, B550 is the best way to go if you do not want to spend over $200. If you are looking for micro ATX then this is the case for you. I own a case that only accommodates micro ATX and not standard ATX. My favorite feature of this motherboard is the fact that the spacing between the PCI Express and mini PCI Express isn't going to NVME drive is under the GPU, so it's no big deal. However, instead of a pci express slot that's often covered by a motherboard, the GPU covers a valuable slot. With an ATX board, you really have a big hole in the ground to work with. This is especially true with a mATX board. I am lost as to what else I can add. I never have any problems with it. No, I am not overclocking and I will not be in the future. Stability is something I seek, and it has plenty of it.

Asus B550M-E is a very good looking and stable mother board
5/5

I had no problem using this mother board My favorite BIOS feature on the PLUS (WiFi 6) is the Power Management feature. In comparison to other brands, their boards seem to handle memory very well. The CPU I have is a Ryzen 9 3900X, and it does not get very hot at all.
