ASUSPrime B650M-A WiFi II AMD AM5 Micro-ATX Motherboard (DDR5, PCIe 5.0 M.2 support, 2.5Gb Ethernet, WiFi 6, DisplayPort, VGA, HDMI, SATA 6 Gbps, USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, BIOS FlashBack, Arua Sync)

great board.. great price.. nice look... easy to build on.. good performance

Although the board does seem a little slow on start-up, it performs fine and can handle higher end CPU's with ease (running a Ryzen 9 7900), has 4 RAM slots for future upgradability (currently running 64GB worth), comes with 4 SATA connectors for older drives (handy for those that needs LOTS of storage without resorting to NAS), good amount of Rear I/O, although the lack of USB-C ports is my only critic, performs better than expected for the price.

The ASUS motherboard used to be good, but now it's terrible. The Bluetooth isn't working even after installing the latest drivers. Connecting to Bluetooth devices like headphones is extremely difficult, whereas other PCs have no issues. Even when I do manage to connect, the audio output cuts out for 1-2 minutes. Absolutely rubbish motherboard.

would be better if it has a M2 SSD armor

As this is to go into my own built computer the instructions are easy to follow , goes through the fitting up in order and easy to find where all of the items need pluging in and where the screws go cannot fault

Good starting board! Nothing wrong. Works well! 7600 and 7900xtx. No issues

I got this board as a long time Asus user. I have previously used ROG, TUF and Prime boards, but got this one as I was looking for a robust board that would suit my needs for my main PC.Installation was a similar experience to most boards, nothing too complex and all the slots are set in ideal locations for a larger PC case. The shield on the M2 is of a reasonable size and not too bulky, in addition the the eject button for the GPU being more solid than some others (Which was useful since I upgraded cards fairly soon after.One of the main reasons I go for these boards is that even for a lower price, they are reasonably feature-rich, plus boast one of the better UEFI experiences. Finding your way around the board profiles and extended settings is a breeze, and updating the BIOS is more simple than some other boards.It is also a nice board aesthetically, which isn't often the case at this price range. I will most like go for a TUF again on my next upgrade (as I prefer these slightly more than the prime due to features and general aesthetic), but with the ARGB being easy to use, features being easy to access, there's not much to really say except that this board is great value for money!

No debug leds! No way to output problems to you. Buy a PC Header Beeper Speaker!It is very basic. Do not buy if you want enthusiast-grade hardware
