The heart and soul of my baby! I love my computer and this was the first part. The start of it all. It's done me nothing but greatness! It has m.2 ports all over, and has been an awesome first motherboard to learn how to easily load bios. It's been sturdy and with all the gen 5 capabilities its let me upgrade as I can afford it, in this crazy market.

REGARDING ORDER AND DELIVERY: I suggest that before you order any expensive item from Amazon, plan to be present for the delivery as best you can. This involves tracking your package and watching your e-mail for the one-time six digit security code you'll need to tell the driver. My code arrived about the same time the package was sent out for delivery. The driver arrived at my door one hour after my package was sent out for delivery. Your miles may vary. My overall experience with secure the delivery process was good. The product arrived with two other expensive items -- all three were packaged into one box. Nothing was damaged. FUNCTIONALITY The motherboard works great. I've seen reviews regarding issues getting this board to work. Admittedly, I had some concern; but, I experienced no issues; I've never had issues with ASUS motherboards not booting, because I've ALWAYS downloaded and read the mother board guide AND selected processors and RAM from ASUS' Qualified Vendors List (QVL); otherwise, even ASUS will tell you: There's no guarantee your board will work with non-QVL parts. Installing two RAM sticks into the correct bank of slots is kinda important...right? So...mind the manual and QVL. [ Lecture over. :-) ] I installed VENGEANCE® RGB 64GB (2x32GB) DDR5 DRAM 5600MT/s CL36. The system booted flawlessly the first time...no issues. BIOS There's a new version out there. Isn't there always? I followed the 'destructions' - flashing came off without a hitch. CPU COOLING I'm running a NOCTUA NH-D15 air cooler on a RYZEN 9 7900X. I've used this air cooler on two other builds over the years and it works great, even under heavy loads. Check Gamers Nexus and other reputable reviewers on cooling fan performance for more information and you'll find that NOCTUA is almost as good as a water cooler. (I like air. I tell my wife all the time: I'm not a plumber...don't want to be a plumber.) In any case, The system at idle with default fan settings shows 47C. Under load, a bit hotter, but this particular CPU is designed to run hot. Make sure your case has good ventilation. The BIOS on this motherboard will allow you to configure custom cooling fan profiles and any other tweaking / overclocking you want. 'nuf said. CASE FIT & SYSTEM FUNCTION/PERFORMANCE I installed this motherboard into a CORSAIR FRAME 4000D RS case...with an extra fan for rear exhaust. Oh my...this modular case made assembly easy. Productivity apps and games run great...and it's pretty too...built for my wife. This board fit the all white theme.

Very good motherboard i used it to build my first pc and it is amazing, the boot time is really fast and it is very stable and you can control how cool you want the pc by downloading armoury crate

Quick and painless setup with multiple 5v jacks along the right side and bottom of the board for fans. Good setup for a glass case where you want to hide the wires as much as possible. Quality build and the solder job on the PCB doesn’t look bad. Had a few issues with drivers but eventually got it squared away. I like that it has so many M.2 storage slots for expanded storage (games are becoming massive) - PSA I did have an issue with games stuttering horribly because I had an Ethernet cable connected and the WiFi on my PC turned on at the same time so it was bouncing connections back and forth and disconnecting my controllers. Turned WiFi off and got a flawless gaming experience immediately.

The ASUS ROG Strix B850-A motherboard sure indeed is a powerful gaming motherboard. One of the best rated on major sites. For some reason though, I've ran into a lot of stability issues with this board. One of them being the volume. Imagine this, sitting there on your pc enjoying a youtube video maybe even a game of the newest battlefield, anything that involves volume... 10 or so minutes in, volume cuts out. Have to go into the volume settings and switch devices to get it to start working again. And this has been happening since the very first day I installed it. I've built many precious pc's and I've never encountered this so I do not believe it is user error. I've also done research on ASUS boards after I started experiencing this problem and come to find out that ASUS motherboards are prone to this issue. Checked all my drivers, reinstalled windows, messed around with my ram speeds bc ddr5 is very unstable; nothing. I've had this motherboard for 2 months now. Everyday I am in the settings trying to get my volume stable. It's gotten to the point where I started to go into the bios and mess around because I just simply can't do it anymore it drives me absolutely insane and I accidently bricked my board and idk how to fix it and quite frankly even if I do fix it... the volume problem would still persist. I decided to buy a new board, went with MSI this time. Save yourself the time, effort, money, aggravation and just go with a different branded board. The only reason why this board got 1 star from me was because of the speed it produced and the slick look of it. Other than that, it gets zero!

CPU cooling towers can cover the ram. Other than that it's great! Not enough reason to knock it a star.

Looks stunning in a white build, VRMs are beefy (runs my 9800X3D @ 120 W PPT all day without throttling), BIOS is buttery smooth, WiFi 7 is blazing, and RGB is tasteful. Everything you expect from a high-end ASUS board. Only real downside: sleep/wake is unreliable – had three failed wake-ups in a month that required hard reset. After my last ASUS TUF died from bad power cycling, I just disabled sleep entirely. As long as you turn the PC off completely (or leave it on), it’s flawless. Still 100% worth it for the looks and features, just don’t use sleep mode.

Got this and some ddr5 and en ryzen 5 9600x be and a 2tb m.2 Samsung be for the prices went up so high. It's a good motherboard got lots of settings

Luce increíble estéticamente, y da mucho plus en sus funcionamiento. Definitivamente la mejor MB que he adquirido hasta ahora. (Asus casi siempre es garantía)

Ottima scheda madre..

I am running an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D and an NVIDIA RTX 5080 with 2 x 32GB of DDR5 6000MHz TeamGroup T-Create RAM. I used to have an MSI X870 Tomahawk WiFi, but I kept running into major issues across multiple BIOS versions. I basically had to pick and choose my problems: with one BIOS version, my WiFi would work but I would lose an M.2 slot. With another version, the M.2 slot would show up but the WiFi would drop out. On top of that, every single first boot of the day would fail; I would have to manually reset the PC just to get it to post. I finally got tired of the headaches and replaced it with this ASUS ROG Strix B850-A Gaming WiFi board, and the difference is night and day. It feels so much more premium than the MSI board, and everything works exactly as it should out of the box. My WiFi is perfect, and all 4 of my M.2 slots are up and running simultaneously. The BIOS layout is also much more familiar, clean, and professional compared to MSI's interface. As a huge bonus, my GPU runs at a full x16 speed instead of dropping to x8. On a lot of other motherboards out there, if you populate all the M.2 slots, it forces your graphics card down to x8 lanes, but not on this board. It literally feels like I have a brand-new PC now—it is incredibly stable and runs much faster. I always used to use ASUS motherboards for all my personal builds, but I strayed away this one time to try MSI and deeply regretted it. I am officially back with ASUS for good. Highly recommended!
