Recently update my 4790k. Paired ROG STRIX B550-F with 5800x and has been stable and have had a huge jump in performance. Perfect match to my Fractal design case from 10+ years ago.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would totally recommend buying this motherboard if you want excellent quality and for cheap, which is crazy because I would expect a cheap motherboard to be built with bad quality, but this one is different! It only has DDR4 so if you want one with DDR5, you have to get the DDR5 version but I am happy where I am with DDR4. So if you are reading this I would definitely buy it because it comes with stickers, WiFi, ASUS WebStorage, and it’s own member card and half off of WebStorage and it comes with crazy deals for WebStorage subscription prices for yearly or monthly. So I would definitely recommend buying it!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] the wifi never worked out of the box on the motherboard and i didn't notice one of the wifi antanna connections was loose, and probably broken off the board on the inside which is why it doesn't work. The nvme solid state drive, wont even notice its there, its fully plugged in but it doesn't see it at all, otherwise everything else works.

I have spent several hours attempting to resolve an issue with the GPU (NVidia GTX 1080) and the VGA Q-LED error light. I have tried everything and I still cannot resolve it. If I connect my monitor with a HDMI cable it shows the post screen. If I connect my monitor with a DisplayPort cable, the post is bypassed and it goes directly into Windows 11. I have updated the BIOS to the latest version, insured the memory is seated, insured the GPU is seated and even replaced the CPU. None of which has resolved the issue. Based on my research, this is a known issue with this motherboard. You would think ASIS would have a fix for this!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Dear Valued Customer,
Thank you for your comment.
We do understand your disappointment with the product and the inconvenience this may have caused if you are experiencing no POST using DisplayPort connection. Since you have tried everything, did you perform the following, also? Disable fast boot in the BIOS and in Window Settings? Ensure you are using compatible DisplayPort cable?
