After spending three years gaming on an MSI MPG X570 Gaming Plus it was time for a change. I had enough of a screaming coil playing games or bench marks with high quality graphics.I read all the reviews I could find about the Asus TUF GAMING B550-PLUS WIFI II and after reading the enclosed "Certificate Of Readability "that was in the box I was anxious to put my new computer together. Along with this motherboard I bought an NVIDIA 3080 12gb OD video card and AMD 5 5600x CPU. I took my time putting everything together. The first thing I ran after I was finished was Unigine Heaven benchmark.
To my HORROR I had ANOTHER motherboard with a BANSHEE SCREAMING COIL!!!!!
OMG! Not again! I just spent three years with the SAME EXACT THING!!!
To help understand my reaction my computer is built on a test bench.
So to conclude my review let me say if I sound a bit upset after spend a total of about $1500 to upgrade my gaming computer to have another motherboard that sounds like a stuck pig IT'S BECAUSE I AM!!!
Amazing board! I just built my first PC with this board and it came out wonderful. I heard a lot of good things about it and was suggested it by a few others. I would highly recommend giving it a try. Only aspect is that I didn’t need the built in Wi-Fi because I use Ethernet for direct connection.
Love the MB. Only problem is I cannot find a place to connect my Antec DF600 FLUX RGB Fans. Otherwise, great MB. Picked up the CPU, 32Gb Ram, Video Card easily.
Good product just had problems connecting to wifi but customer service took care of it not that big of issue just needed most recent driver that was not on there website
