The b650i has coil whine and long hang times at reboot and power on at system start. The coil whine is loud my pc sits 6' away and still loud I've read that many people have exchanged this board from many different manufacturing dates and still the problem continues and supports response is, its ok go ahead and use it, it won'thurt anything. Talk about tone deafness.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I've used Asus motherboards for my last 4 PCs but sadly this one is a bit of a pin. Worked fine for a while. No refuses to turn on even of I clear CMOS, take out RAM sticks, swap them out, try to booth with a single or zero ram. It will not turn on anymore. The annoying part is having to play with CLRCMOS header pins which are hard to reach in an SFF case. I wish Asus put an easier to use button for CLR_CMOS and also put the CELL/Battery for CMOS somewhere easy to user.

Great Motherboard so far with Ryzen 9 9900x. Only issue i had was with network card being slow. Tried two different drivers and get same speeds. Some reason it's not showing up as Gigabit. Anyone have the same issue?

Motherboard died 6 months of ownership. Kept booting that F8 pin wasn't connect to motherboard and kept looping with same message. F8 was connected, if the message was true computer would have never started or displayed error message. Updated Bios to maybe fix issue then motherboard died.

Dear Fisib,
Thank you for your comment.
We do understand the inconvenience this may have caused if the motherboard is booting up slowly. This can be a hardware or a software issue. To resolve the hardware issue, please verify all hardware meets the requirements of the motherboard, are working properly and installed correctly on the motherboard. If these were checked good, disconnect any other external devices and load optimize default in the BIOS. If these steps were performed to no avail, ensure Windows clean, or fresh from scratch using this motherboard.
