I would have given 5 stars, but this Mobo isn't compatible with Linux. It works great with a dedicated gpu, but the onboard gpu doesn't work because I can't download Linux drivers. That being said, this is a great Mobo. My CPU is a Ryzen 5 5600G
I would recommend this to a friend!

Used this motherboard for my first PC build. Everything went well. Printed Instructions could be better to distinguish between the uses for the 2 different screw sizes. Overall the build went well and it is up and running.

The motherboard and case (bought together) mostly work well, except for two issues: the front-panel USB-c would not connect to the motherboard because the cable and jack were incompatible and the rear microphone jack does not work.

Dear Disappointed Smith,
We do understand your concern regarding the front-panel USB pinout and the audio issue and the inconvenience this may have caused.
To resolve the USB-C issue, please check that the pinout of the cable matches the signalling on the motherboard's USB-C header. With the audio problem, check your input source from the Volume Control properties if it was setup correctly to the microphone and check if the audio driver is up to date. The driver is available for download at: https://www.asus.com/us/motherboards-components/motherboards/prime/prime-b550m-a-wifi-ii/helpdesk_download?model2Name=PRIME-B550M-A-WIFI-II.
Should you need further assistance with the motherboard, please email me at cl-rodel@asus.com and I would be more than happy to help. Also, you can chat with an ASUS live support agent from the link: https://www.asus.com/us/support/article/1135/.
Thank you for choosing an ASUS product.
Regards,
Rodel ASUS Customer Loyalty

Needed a new motherboard and not a gamer, just needed what I would call an enterprise type board to use for a home lab virtual machine desktop/server. I run Linux on everything and ASUS parts are compatible as long as you are not on the bleeding edge latest and greatest so you dont have to wait for a new kernel. Got the pc built, fired it up first time and worked as designed, no complaints. Thanks ASUS for great products!

This is a small issue for me, but I wish the argb port was a little bit further down because it's hitting my graphics card and having it do not function correctly. Other than that I think it's a perfect motherboard.

The ASUS PRIME B550M-A WIFI II is an excellent micro-ATX motherboard for Ryzen CPUs, offering reliable performance, built-in Wi-Fi 6, and great compatibility with modern components, all at a reasonable price.
