The points made here about the Audio around the 16 minute mark... The onboard audio is often an underrated feature. This board has a great audio setup for the reasons Mike explains. Getting AEC and noise canceling setup without mucking around with extra software is just a great thing. Also big thanks to Mike for letting me know Discord has an often unnoticed noise suppression feature built in that I never noticed. You can only see it when you have voice activated. I have ALC1220 and lots of new B550 boards have lesser onboard audio solutions. Penny pinching? I probably wouldn't go B450 but for a cost effective build for a friend or non enthusiast, this would be on my shortlist of probably 3 B450 boards. And I COMPLETELY agree about the aesthetics. The purply pink line going through the other versions was vomit inducing.

Hello! Can I ask, cause my SSD can't be detected in the M.2_2 slot, the one with the heat sink cover. But when I use the slot 1, it's detected. Any help?
I have been using the original version of this board since 2020 as a work PC and it's been perfect. Nice to see they added ARGB on the version 2. I ended up buying some Corsair fans plus the controller to get my lighting all sorted. Plus a Prism cooler. Kind of got schooled on RGB lighting but that's just how things are :-)
I saw this video before and I only found a B450F one of my stores in my place, I went there to buy it but the store is closed. Then I didn't want to comeback on the next day so i just proceeded to another computer store I know. And to my surprised, the B450-F II mobo is there! The store was closing but they were so kind for me to have the last transaction of the day. I really love your review so much about this that's why i went out on that day to buy one hahahahah
I bought this board just now. I currently am using a B450 A Pro from MSI and that doesn't have NEARLY as much things as I need compared to this. Thanks for the video!
This video saved me from buying a b550 to support my 5600x, I'm glad I saw this video before I made a mistake and replace this beautiful motherboard. Earned a sub!
*I bought the B-450 F 4 yrs ago as my First PC Build. Love the Board and hasn't failed me YET. Of Course I need to switch the RAM speed from 2133 too 3200 but other than that it's a SOLID MOB*
@@mikesunboxing there is a 5600x on aliexpress for about 485$ cad. Still overpriced, but I don't have to pay taxes so the difference at the end is not that much..

Please help someone, I bought this motherboard literally last night and I want to use the bottom m.2 port with the heatsink in it but when I plug in my m.2 ssd it doesn't appear in the bios :(
I'm building a budget gaming PC for my son, so this board is perfect. We're starting with an R5 3600 and he can upgrade when he's ready with his own money. A nice upgrade from my v1.
Yes, I've used Macrium to Clone my old 8 y/o Seagate 1TB onto a 1TB M.2 NVME. Worked a treat! But I decluttered the C Drive first by transferring it over to my Seagate 1TB D Drive to just leave the bare essentials to Clone....
Just got this board. Nice all around, only issue is that if I want to use my M.2 drive, I lose 2 of the sata ports, as they seem to share lanes. I'll get a secondary sata PCI adapter in order to be able to run my M.2, but feels like with 2 M.2 slots, there should be a way of running 7 or 8 drives, not just a max of 6 at the time. There might be a setting in the BIOS I may be missing, but so far this is my issue. Thanks for the good review.
yeah that is a limitation, but for most users they might use one or two sata maybe three. It is a rare case that we see anyone fully using all the SATA ports
I replaced my a320 board with this same model, but to my surprise, there's no display on 1st boot and noticed that my rgb crucial ram is not lighting up as well. tried hdmi and another gpu, its the same issue. its a good thing that this b450 board has bios flashback. i followed the guide posted on this channel and flash to the original bios that supports r5 2600, then everything worked well after that.
Nice , I just ordered a 3700x and waiting on this board to come in three days , Iv never done a bios flash back as this is my first build ! Was it hard or take long?
Pair it ryzen 5 5600X + 32 Gb of Ram+ 750w Psu and Lets say 8 Gb GPU = runs all games and programs no problem = i have it and i tested it . works like perfect
I've got a Ryzen 7 1800 and just bought this board as an upgrade to my current Higo board that came with the PC. I love the fact that there is a designated bios usb slot and a flashback button lol. My current boards bios died and won't boot. So yea, time for the upgrade.
This is undercut by the cheapest B550 (but that one does not have a great amount of VRM heatsinking), also snapping at it's heels is the B450 Aorus Pro (with ARGB, but not 5000 ready and NO FLASHBACK). So this board does win on the "ready for anything" front, but is up against fierce competition
When you flash your bios, and anything goes wrong, and your board is not booting, put in the usb stick with bios, push the flashback button, and you can rescue your board, so yes, any board needs a flashback button, but sadly not any board has one, you dont need the flashback button for regular bios updates, only for rescue.
"Why buy B450 at this time?" Well, great question! Was upgrading my home server from FM2+ to AM4, fried my Asus Prime B450M at 1:30am, this was the only board I found that had same day shipping for under $200. Bit of overkill for a headless home server, but it runs my Ryzen 3400G just fine. I like the board, has a nice quality feel to it, plenty of connectors, etc and PCI slots for my 8 SATA expansion card.
@12:38 I don't understand why this reviewer would say SLI is dead in the water. I was hoping to find out if this board would run two graphics card, eg 2 x GTX 1080 in SLI mode. Instead the notion of having two cards is simply dismissed by the reviewer. So my next question is which budget AM4 boards would support the funcationality i am after?
Sli is dead and buried with little or no support in video editing and most games developed in the last few years. It only works to some extent in some benchmark programs. For almost all regular pc users sli is not possible and needs a lot of modifications with no guarantee of stability or utilisation
Great motherboard, I got this for $119 Canadian on amazon so saved myself roughly ~$60 by getting this for my r5 5600x over the b550, since my ssd is pcie3. super happy i was abole to allocate the extraa money toward better system memory instead
Heyy I just got this motherboard today and hve the exact same cpu as you, did you have to upgrade the motherboard itself? Or was yours up to date already?
@@ThePhatNerdProject hey! everything was good to go right out of the box, the b450f gaming 2 is meant to pair with 5 series ryzen, ONLY THING I did have to change was factory ram speed in BIOS - i got 3200mhz ram and it was default at 2133mhz
I got one of these boards for my Ryzen 3700X DAW PC. No practical use for overclocking (or a powerful gpu for that matter.) I got this board for the sturdier VRM setup and RAM speeds (I was using a B350-plus and that topped out at 3200mhz) As well as Aura Sync. Nice to have your PC dancing along with you while you're mixing a stupid amount of samples and VSTs 😜
Excellent unboxing and feature review, Mike! Can’t wait to see you put this in a system. This board does really appear to do it all - if I understand correctly, it is compatible with all AM4 based CPU’s and APU’s? Amazing. The fact it doesn’t have PCI v4 is unfortunate, but this is a more budget offering... I do have to say, these days, I only use boards with onboard WIFI for budget and compatibility reasons. I could make an exception with this board, however...
yes it does look like a great board with fantastic compatibility, being able to buy this board and have the guarantee that any chip can be bought and used without PCIE or memory issues is so cool. The Wifi thing is something we have discussed before and it still is something that gets mused over here at MUB central 😎 Our walls are brick and cement with plaster board and plaster so wifi signals need to be very good to get a constant signal, and any distance kills it off badly unless you are lucky enough to have a mesh system, so for us here in the UK and lots of Europe Wifi is a real pain so not having it is not a problem. I think for the US and Asia areas wifi is much more widespread in PC use and most of the questions regarding Wifi and Bluetooth do seems to be from those areas in general. I would have liked to have seen a wifi version produced though, it would have made a lot of sense
Paul stick to ITX, ATX and MATX just throw too many options into the mix, at least with ITX the options are more limited and the choices therefore a little easier to make
Nice review Mike...I got one of the v1 boards last year for a build I did for my grandson's 1st gaming PC it was £103.15 from CCL so pretty much the exact same price as this so the price is good for this v2 version. At the time Asus were doing a £25 cashback offer .....I eventually got it but they took AGES (4 months) after all sorts of excuses...good board though
I am late to the party..but I just compared two boards..and this B450F II version is just renamed B450 E gaming with flashbackbutton, different pcb colour but without included wifi module :) They just repurposed the older E variant - same VRMs and same layout..but still..great board..I own B450 E
Great review Mike, and they sure look good, and great for the price if you have a slightly older GPU. I'm tempted to get a B550 or X570 board to go with my MSI Suprim 3070 (rocking the MSI gaming Pro x470 right now, had it for a few years and never let me down) but don't know if the leap just for the gen 4 PCIE lanes is worth it?
Now, if only I could get this board to work for mining with 2 or more GPUs working at the same time. As far as I can tell thus far, I'm going to need a different MB. Everyone has the same problem with this board, insofar as mining is concerned. Good video, Mike. Thank you!
Having sold my MSI x570-a PRO and 3700x, I started looking to build another one with a Ryzen 5600x. I'm looking into b450 or b550. Or maybe an A520 because they are pretty complete for casual build, if you don't overclock. It will house a Radeon RX560 because.... I already have some ddr4 3200 memory and I bought a nice Snowman dual tower yesterday because there was a rebate on it and cost me about 36$cad. Still not decided about atx or matx.. Nice review, have a good day!
are you any closer to picking a board yet? in my mind there are way too many choices now and it actually is difficult to select a board as the next day someone will review something else which is the latest and greatest! information overload
@@mikesunboxing that's the last thing I will buy, because of what you said, and the fact that this is the parts that is the most successible to be doa, in my experience. And it is easier to deal with the seller than the manufacturer so I make sure to start it in the return window.
I never planned to buy this mobo..i actually though i buy older version..just realized its ver.2 when its arrived and i worried about my ryzen 5 3600 wont be supported..turn out it supported out of the box..its a decent mobo..worth every zenny..really recommend this..i also make my build vid on my channel
I have the same motherboard Asus ROG Strix B450 F gaming 2, and planning to upgrade from Ryzen 5 3500 to Ryzen 9 5900x. I'm little worried about the bios update as well as the anti-rollback thing. I am also concerned about the throttling issues if I use the PC on full load throughout the day.
@@mikesunboxing if I upgrade to 7000 series then i will have to upgrade my aio ram mb cpu and here old parts are really hard to sell and my requirement is 12core 😥
Looks sweet enough for price. When the 5000 series came out peeps were selling their bundled mobos so picked up the B550-F on ebay for 105 (shhh also £15 delivery whacked on top lol but for 120 happy days). Allowed me to needlessly add a 980 pro lol.
Thanks for the video! I was wondering if this motherboard is good I could have got b550 but im not about the spend 300 euros on some motherboard that has PCIE Gen 4.
I bought it because it's a solid board for the price. I don't need PCIe 4 when I'm using an RX 580. Hell even with a new RX or RTX PCIe 3 will be plenty. Trust me, moving from an FX 8350, I'm happy with it.
@@mikesunboxing Yeah, I feel like it's that shared FPU or whatever that limits the FX 8350 but I don't know for sure. I never had my FX 8350 reach "100%" usage yet I was clearly CPU bottlenecked when reaching 65 to 80% CPU usage. It was also running on a ASUS M5A97 R2.0 which def was sweating with this CPU. Tbh, I'm glad I went with ASUS again because that board held on for years without an issue, and then ended with an FX 8350 which people don't recommend due to the board's weak 4+2 VRM. Ran great! So I hope the quality hasn't changed, so far so good.
Hi Mike. I'm confused, I have this mobo, but I can't work out why m2 slot 2 has a heating but 1 doesn't? Should I put my M2 (not running OS off it) into slot 2 instead of slot 1?
The issues I would have with this board is it only has one USB2 Socket and a lot of Lighting Modules require a USB2 Socket, even the Prism only works properly with USB. I think 2 should be the minimum. Also as far as I saw only 1 USB3, so lacking a USBC Socket you can't use an Adaptor in a USB3 Socket if your Case has a Front USBC Socket - which a lot do have now. It's a shame as it has some really good features but seriously lacking in others. Also only a single ARGB Socket is poor. But a nice Review Mike! Just not something I would consider because of those lacking features. I bought the MSI MPG X570 GAMING PLUS Motherboard ATX and am very happy. Strangely hard to get now!? Thanks. ps. I wonder how many people have bought it and then realised is just doesn't cut it and returned it. Those numbers would be nice to see......
Hi Mike I have a question. I bought this board and was a little confused it didn't include the ROG Thank You Card, is it possible that it could've been a used one or one of the first B450f gaming II?
I'm hoping it will work out of the box with my Rift S as I'm currently getting USB disconnects on my Gigabyte Auros Elite board. Very much similar spec board so may be a waste of money but I'm running out of hair to pull out.
I personally have a B550 Motherboard and wouldn't recommend anything else as the AM4 chipset is coming to the end of its life in the not too distant future. Great if your not too bothered about future-proofing. Nice review as always mike.
@@mikesunboxing While I think you Might get your wish on the DDR4/DDR5, I'm pretty sure the next AM5 socket will Not be compatible pin wise and probably chip set wise as well. I mean, if it was possible AMD could keep the same socket, then why tell people there was just a 5 year support period?
Mike, thanks for the video, could you make a video on installing a m.2 because on the Asus motherboard they have rubber for the m.2 but I don't know how you would use it. It's kind of upsetting that there's only one usb port in the motherboard
So I purchased this little guy to get some extra 16 x pcie slots for m2 cards I bought. Wanted extra drive space. Tinkering around I have a few other parts from my old computer that I was planning on tossing in as well. Wireless, maybe an extra video card. Well as soon as I did it nothing will load. It may be a faulty mobo. Looking around to see how this thing works. Need to get my gaming on. The instructions manual sucks.
How are they? I really couldn't get the b450 f gamming II motherboard to work with my Ryzen 5 5600 x processor, update the bios, arrange the memories as they recommend and nothing, it always stays on White Light and I'm already giving up

Hi, I tried building with AMD Ryzen 5 5600G, post building I can't get into the Bios menu. I am able to see the asus home page showing (press del/F2 to get into Bios), and then no display output.. then I updated the bios using flash bios, reset the cmos, still no luck.. any suggestions please.
@@mikesunboxing I paired up with an R5 3600x and an RX5500XT.. The cpu was a defo.. The gpu was the only one I seen for sale in months 😂 including Nvidia gps's so snapped it up, or I could still be sat here with a box of bits!

Hi, I need your help, I'll tell you I bought the mother b450-f gaming 2, but on the box it says that it is ready for amd ryzen 5000 desktop ready and it also says that it is ready for 3rd gen ryzen and in small letters it says: not compatible with amd ryzen 5 3400g & amd ryzen 3 3200g. and from what I can see in your video I have the same board as yours and it comes with the 4007 version of the bios. What I wanted to know is that if I am going to be able to use ryzen 3 3200g with the bios 4007 or do I have to put the bios 0301 on it ?. please help.
I have ryzen 5 3600 + asus prime csm b450 and just upgrade from gigabyte 1660 super gaming oc to 3070 aorus master, i don want to expend too much in other cpu (ryzen 5 5600x and b550 motherboard) so would you recommend this motherboard for me or should i get a b550?
you can use either slot, the top one runs from the CPU and the lower one runs through the chipset, so the top one in theory will have slight less latency as it is directly communicating with the processor
I'm going to get a 5600G, I have a ROG STRIX B450 F ... I didn't manage to update the BIOS for the 5000 series, can I update it after installing the processor if I immediately enter a BIOS and update it already the update downloaded on the stick?
@Mike's unboxing, reviews and how to How much fan ports are there? , i need to connect 5 rgb corsair fans (4 pins) , and a noctua one.. can i with no problem?
they are shown in the video, but to recap 1 x CPU Fan connector 1 x CPU OPT Fan connector 3 x Chassis Fan connectors 1 x AIO_PUMP connector so you will likely need a splitter or hub unless you can get the fans to control to your liking on the extra CPU or AIO headers

is the bios set to uefi or csm? and does the processor you are using support the amount of PCIe lanes needed

Hi Mike would you possibly in the future make a tutorial on how to transfer all files & windows from an old mechanical hard drive to an ssd
Macrium reflect is the best best software for that
Mikes already made one
czcams.com/video/uFOyDtJ5FuY/video.html
yes check out the macrium reflect videos i have done should show you all you need to know
Yes, I've used Macrium to Clone my old 8 y/o Seagate 1TB onto a 1TB M.2 NVME. Worked a treat! But I decluttered the C Drive first by transferring it over to my Seagate 1TB D Drive to just leave the bare essentials to Clone....

Good morning everyone. Thank you again for an exciting and informative video of the hardware we want to know about.
Our pleasure!
Just got this board.
Nice all around, only issue is that if I want to use my M.2 drive, I lose 2 of the sata ports, as they seem to share lanes.
I'll get a secondary sata PCI adapter in order to be able to run my M.2, but feels like with 2 M.2 slots, there should be a way of running 7 or 8 drives, not just a max of 6 at the time.
There might be a setting in the BIOS I may be missing, but so far this is my issue.
Thanks for the good review.
yeah that is a limitation, but for most users they might use one or two sata maybe three. It is a rare case that we see anyone fully using all the SATA ports

yes that would be best i think

Pair it ryzen 5 5600X + 32 Gb of Ram+ 750w Psu and Lets say 8 Gb GPU = runs all games and programs no problem = i have it and i tested it . works like perfect
Just upgraded to rog Strix b450 gaming ii MBO.. more options and better BIOS then last MBO used
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think most B450 motherboards are compatible with ANY AM4 cpu, right?
yes almost every single processor if they have the new max version of the bios chip (256Mbit rather than the older 128Mbit)
I've got a Ryzen 7 1800 and just bought this board as an upgrade to my current Higo board that came with the PC. I love the fact that there is a designated bios usb slot and a flashback button lol. My current boards bios died and won't boot. So yea, time for the upgrade.
this is a great board and compatible with so many processors. hope you like it
This is undercut by the cheapest B550 (but that one does not have a great amount of VRM heatsinking), also snapping at it's heels is the B450 Aorus Pro (with ARGB, but not 5000 ready and NO FLASHBACK).
So this board does win on the "ready for anything" front, but is up against fierce competition
very true. a very competitive board. Not for everyone but covers a lot of bases
When you flash your bios, and anything goes wrong, and your board is not booting, put in the usb stick with bios, push the flashback button, and you can rescue your board, so yes, any board needs a flashback button, but sadly not any board has one, you dont need the flashback button for regular bios updates, only for rescue.
thanks for the info
"Why buy B450 at this time?" Well, great question! Was upgrading my home server from FM2+ to AM4, fried my Asus Prime B450M at 1:30am, this was the only board I found that had same day shipping for under $200. Bit of overkill for a headless home server, but it runs my Ryzen 3400G just fine. I like the board, has a nice quality feel to it, plenty of connectors, etc and PCI slots for my 8 SATA expansion card.
Good choice! if it needs to be stable for a server i would choose this for a B450
love this board have had problems with newer boards but not this one.
yeah good solid board
@12:38 I don't understand why this reviewer would say SLI is dead in the water. I was hoping to find out if this board would run two graphics card, eg 2 x GTX 1080 in SLI mode. Instead the notion of having two cards is simply dismissed by the reviewer. So my next question is which budget AM4 boards would support the funcationality i am after?
Sli is dead and buried with little or no support in video editing and most games developed in the last few years. It only works to some extent in some benchmark programs. For almost all regular pc users sli is not possible and needs a lot of modifications with no guarantee of stability or utilisation
Great motherboard, I got this for $119 Canadian on amazon so saved myself roughly ~$60 by getting this for my r5 5600x over the b550, since my ssd is pcie3. super happy i was abole to allocate the extraa money toward better system memory instead
sounds like you got a great deal there andrew, nice one
Heyy I just got this motherboard today and hve the exact same cpu as you, did you have to upgrade the motherboard itself? Or was yours up to date already?
@@ThePhatNerdProject hey! everything was good to go right out of the box, the b450f gaming 2 is meant to pair with 5 series ryzen, ONLY THING I did have to change was factory ram speed in BIOS - i got 3200mhz ram and it was default at 2133mhz
@@ThePhatNerdProject Also, it's been roughly a year with my PC and I can say I made a KILLER GOOD purchase decision, its nasty good for what I paid
I got one of these boards for my Ryzen 3700X DAW PC. No practical use for overclocking (or a powerful gpu for that matter.) I got this board for the sturdier VRM setup and RAM speeds (I was using a B350-plus and that topped out at 3200mhz) As well as Aura Sync. Nice to have your PC dancing along with you while you're mixing a stupid amount of samples and VSTs 😜
yes a nice board
Excellent unboxing and feature review, Mike! Can’t wait to see you put this in a system. This board does really appear to do it all - if I understand correctly, it is compatible with all AM4 based CPU’s and APU’s? Amazing. The fact it doesn’t have PCI v4 is unfortunate, but this is a more budget offering... I do have to say, these days, I only use boards with onboard WIFI for budget and compatibility reasons. I could make an exception with this board, however...
yes it does look like a great board with fantastic compatibility, being able to buy this board and have the guarantee that any chip can be bought and used without PCIE or memory issues is so cool.
The Wifi thing is something we have discussed before and it still is something that gets mused over here at MUB central 😎
Our walls are brick and cement with plaster board and plaster so wifi signals need to be very good to get a constant signal, and any distance kills it off badly unless you are lucky enough to have a mesh system, so for us here in the UK and lots of Europe Wifi is a real pain so not having it is not a problem.
I think for the US and Asia areas wifi is much more widespread in PC use and most of the questions regarding Wifi and Bluetooth do seems to be from those areas in general.
I would have liked to have seen a wifi version produced though, it would have made a lot of sense
I think if I were to go over to the dark side (ATX) from m-ITX MBs, maybe this could be one! But then again what do I know? Great Video, thanks Mike
Paul stick to ITX, ATX and MATX just throw too many options into the mix, at least with ITX the options are more limited and the choices therefore a little easier to make
Nice review Mike...I got one of the v1 boards last year for a build I did for my grandson's 1st gaming PC it was £103.15 from CCL so pretty much the exact same price as this so the price is good for this v2 version.
At the time Asus were doing a £25 cashback offer .....I eventually got it but they took AGES (4 months) after all sorts of excuses...good board though
yes cashback and rebates in the UK do seem to be more problematic than the ones offered in the US for some reason
I am late to the party..but I just compared two boards..and this B450F II version is just renamed B450 E gaming with flashbackbutton, different pcb colour but without included wifi module :) They just repurposed the older E variant - same VRMs and same layout..but still..great board..I own B450 E
What does a solid red light mean on the motherboard? Nothing is showing up on my monitor either.
might need a bios update if it is a new cpu
Great review Mike, and they sure look good, and great for the price if you have a slightly older GPU. I'm tempted to get a B550 or X570 board to go with my MSI Suprim 3070 (rocking the MSI gaming Pro x470 right now, had it for a few years and never let me down) but don't know if the leap just for the gen 4 PCIE lanes is worth it?
PCIE gen 4 make very little difference at the moment, unless you are watching the benchmarks like a hawk

@@BuckyKat9999 no problem 😀

Now, if only I could get this board to work for mining with 2 or more GPUs working at the same time. As far as I can tell thus far, I'm going to need a different MB. Everyone has the same problem with this board, insofar as mining is concerned. Good video, Mike. Thank you!
Totally agree this board is bad for mining
@@mikesunboxing Lesson learned. :-)
Having sold my MSI x570-a PRO and 3700x, I started looking to build another one with a Ryzen 5600x. I'm looking into b450 or b550.

I already have some ddr4 3200 memory and I bought a nice Snowman dual tower yesterday because there was a rebate on it and cost me about 36$cad. Still not decided about atx or matx..
Nice review, have a good day!

do you have the option to get a new board? B450 was never designed to run these modern multicore CPUs

my LAN just died on it so mine is going back sadly
I really liked how detailed your review is! Just a question quick question would my Ryzen 3 3300x work good on it?
Yes, definitely and thanks for the kind words
I have AsRock B450 Steel Legend. It's a bit of a mash up of different parts. Thinking of just going for a ROG and Corsair (or Chromax Noctua) build.
for an easy life and save money the MSI eco system is by far the best for easy sync rgb etc, but with signalRGB the others can potentially work
Looks sweet enough for price. When the 5000 series came out peeps were selling their bundled mobos so picked up the B550-F on ebay for 105 (shhh also £15 delivery whacked on top lol but for 120 happy days). Allowed me to needlessly add a 980 pro lol.
Very nice! the b550-f is a great looking board
Im already built Monterey and Windows 11 with it, using r7 5700g and rx580 16GB and run smooth and faster
I think I'd go for an aourus b550 ,but nice board for the features if you need it.
the aorus b550 range are pretty decent and if they come down to this price level i would certainly be recommending them
Thanks for the video! I was wondering if this motherboard is good I could have got b550 but im not about the spend 300 euros on some motherboard that has PCIE Gen 4.
No problem 👍
I bought it because it's a solid board for the price. I don't need PCIe 4 when I'm using an RX 580. Hell even with a new RX or RTX PCIe 3 will be plenty. Trust me, moving from an FX 8350, I'm happy with it.
yes that will be a good upgrade! Fx8350 is good but it is showing it's age a bit now
@@mikesunboxing Yeah, I feel like it's that shared FPU or whatever that limits the FX 8350 but I don't know for sure. I never had my FX 8350 reach "100%" usage yet I was clearly CPU bottlenecked when reaching 65 to 80% CPU usage. It was also running on a ASUS M5A97 R2.0 which def was sweating with this CPU. Tbh, I'm glad I went with ASUS again because that board held on for years without an issue, and then ended with an FX 8350 which people don't recommend due to the board's weak 4+2 VRM. Ran great! So I hope the quality hasn't changed, so far so good.
Hi Mike. I'm confused, I have this mobo, but I can't work out why m2 slot 2 has a heating but 1 doesn't?
Should I put my M2 (not running OS off it) into slot 2 instead of slot 1?
yes the X570 tuf gaming is the same, either get a separate M.2 cooler or use the other slot
The issues I would have with this board is it only has one USB2 Socket and a lot of Lighting Modules require a USB2 Socket, even the Prism only works properly with USB. I think 2 should be the minimum. Also as far as I saw only 1 USB3, so lacking a USBC Socket you can't use an Adaptor in a USB3 Socket if your Case has a Front USBC Socket - which a lot do have now.
It's a shame as it has some really good features but seriously lacking in others. Also only a single ARGB Socket is poor.
But a nice Review Mike! Just not something I would consider because of those lacking features. I bought the MSI MPG X570 GAMING PLUS Motherboard ATX and am very happy. Strangely hard to get now!?
Thanks.
ps. I wonder how many people have bought it and then realised is just doesn't cut it and returned it. Those numbers would be nice to see......
yes there is a definite lack of USB options here sadly
Hi Mike I have a question. I bought this board and was a little confused it didn't include the ROG Thank You Card, is it possible that it could've been a used one or one of the first B450f gaming II?
it is possible or just a packing error from the factory?
@@mikesunboxing That's exactly what I was thinking, could be a packing error

Mike, thanks for the video, could you make a video on installing a m.2 because on the Asus motherboard they have rubber for the m.2 but I don't know how you would use it.
It's kind of upsetting that there's only one usb port in the motherboard
the rubber is to either support a drive or to put in between the m.2 when no drive is installed to prevent the heatsink rattling

Yes it will, although the newer CPUs may be on a different socket such as AM5 but there should still be another round of AM4 before that happens

For the nvme slots.. can you use either one?! Do you have to use the top slot for nvme if u only have 1 nvme
you can use either slot, the top one runs from the CPU and the lower one runs through the chipset, so the top one in theory will have slight less latency as it is directly communicating with the processor
