I've been really happy with ASUS TUF motherboards over the years and this is no exception. Make sure to update BIOS - mine shipped with the BIOS from Sept 2024, and there's been 5 updates since then, as of writing this (March 2025).That's pretty typical of a new product, and will probably settle down after a while. After BIOS update I had an unknown device in device manager, but reinstall of the chipset drivers fixed it.there's no room for large after-market m.2 heatsinks, so I had to use the ones the motherboard came with. they seem to work fine, no issues there.also, any modern graphics card is going to block the pcie x1 slot, unless you use a riser cable or something like that. so plan appropriatelylastly, not fond of the enormous "TUF GAMING" branding on the VRM heatsink, but when setup in the case, it's not so bad. I suppose I could cover it up with black electrical or maybe color in with a Sharpe, but probably won't bother.

Awesome motherboard, reasonable price, robust platform for DIY. Perfect bios for 9950x and expo enabled RAM.

Plentiful high speed I/O. Just enough fan headers, and the two headers for CPU fans are both controlled by one speed setting; nice for dual fan air coolers. Quick-start pamphlet is not the nicest manual I've ever received but is sufficient. Booted up first try with a Ryzen 9000 chip no bios update required. been running for a week serving plex and utorrent with some light 3d modeling in between, no hiccups whatsoever.M.2 heat spreader thermal pad is thick and makes the M.2 stick bow pretty bad, and they want you to stack little rubber support bushings under it on the motherboard to counter it. wack. I used a generic M2 heat sink sled instead.TUF logos are kinda ugly but hey it has good vrm's supposedly. also armory crate is so bogus; get the drivers you need from it then uninstall

Motherboard is great. My 9800X3D works on it right out of the box, no BIOS upgrade needed. I wish they included more M.2 rubber pads for single sided SSD’s. They include 2 but there’s three slots, so you’ll need 3 if you plan on filling all 3 slots with single-sided NVMe’s. The PCIe slot leaves a lot of be desired. The releasing mechanism is so flimsy that it’s never once worked well. You push down the latch and it doesn’t help to eject the graphics card. It flips up but slides past the graphics card, pinning it in the open position. Cheap design. Other than that, I have no complaints. Plenty of USB ports and support for lots of RGB and fans. One last thing I want to mention is the board came with two slightly bent pins for something on the bottom left of the board. I don’t have the manual in front of me nor did I use it, but it arrived bent, like it was manufactured like that, but not supposed to be that way. Doesn’t really affect my use case but I wanted to mention everything.

I don't know what it is about AM5 motherboards, but with the maiden boot cycle, I never get a video out signal if I use a Graphics card in the rig. After they fail to get a signal, I boot up with the monitor plugged into the rear I/O, dGPU removed, and then I get a signal. After this, I can put the dGPU back into the rig and everything is fine.My personal system has a Ryzen 9 9950x, the Crossair X870E board, and 64GB of DDR5-6000 cl30 Hynix die RAM. I have no problems tuning the RAM and passing rounds of Karhu, Prime95, and anything else. I even have the RAM running at 6200MT/s with the lateincies below what's on the Ram's sticker. It passes everything.Now, I put together a system with the TUF B850 along with the Ryzen 9 9900x, and the exact same 64GB kit of 6000MT/s cl30 RAM. No matter what I do or have tried, I cannot get this RAM stress test stable with EXPO enabled, the U-Clk at 3000MHz, and the F-CLk at 2000MHz. I know that Dual Ranked RAM is a bit tougher to tune, but my high end X870E board is running circles around this B850 baord.Other than that, this board is a bit pricy for what you get out of it. It must be the Asus tax. The only reason I bought this board in the first place is because I was building a PC for a friend of the family and she picked an ATX sized board to go with the Thermaltake Tower 300, and this case only works with mATX boards. For the price, it would have been nice if this board came with better Audio Codec and Wifi 7.Then again, as I was thumbing through the market, I noticed that really good mATX boards are non-existent. I was hoping to find a Strix X870 mATX board, but this is the best Asus has to offer. This board at least has a M.2 slot that supports a PCIe 5.0 drive, the VRM's are good, and the primary PCIe x16 slot supports PCIe 5.0. The BIOS Flashback feature is also useful.
