4.0 out of 5 stars Solid board if it continues to work...
Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2019

This review was posted on 8/6/2019.I'm a system builder and recently put a Ryzen 7 2700x cpu in of of these boards for a customer. The install was easy, and straight forward. The bios is clean and easily managed, and can be updated from inside the bios via the internet, which is a nice touch.The performance of this board was very solid when it worked. It completely died after only a few weeks of use, however. The customer I built it for isn't the tinkering type, so I can't believe he was doing anything but general gaming use on it.After gaming on it for several hours, the customer did a routine Windows shut down and went to work. When he returned from work, he hit the power button to do some gaming, and nothing happened. The board was completely dead.He brought the build back to me, and I tested the board with two different working power supplies and it would receive no power. I also tested his power supply with a PSU tester and another motherboard and had no issues getting power from that PSU.He did not want to wait for the RMA process for a new board, so we ordered another one of the same exact model to avoid Windows reinstall. After installing the new board, everything seems to be good for now.Being a system builder for over 12 years now, I have never had a motherboard die me. I guess I've just been lucky. This board broke that streak. I am not going to trash Asus's name or this board (at least not yet) because I know that when dealing with electronics, sometimes you just get a bad product off the production line. It happens. I'm also not some angry/broke gamer kid who's mad that his computer died, so trashing the company with a bad review isn't my style.I am in the process of doing the RMA for the first board, and so far the only part of Asus tech-support I didn't like is that the lady I talked to did not speak English well at all. So far the second board is working just fine (just installed it today - 8/6/2019) and the first one will be sent back for a replacement.Overall I like Asus Products and have had no issues with any other product of theirs so far. Hopefully the second board holds up and doesn't give any more issues.

Amazon review-combining-proofing: Asus ROG Strix B450-F Gaming Motherboard (ATX) AMD Ryzen 2 AM4 DDR4 (I'll stop doing this when Amazon stops combining reviews for unrelated products)

Disclaimer: I am NOT a PC gamer. I did not get this board for gaming. The only PC game I play is The Sims 2 (which runs just fine on this board, but that's more to do with the new graphics card I installed) and Bluestacks.

I bought this board because I was using an inherited PC that was over 10 years old, and wanted something a bit more modern since I use my PC as a Plex server, and it was struggling to play HD videos. I wanted something at least as good as my laptop (which has a faster processor), but that wouldn't break the bank. I settled on this MB, an AMD Ryzen 5 3600, 2 sticks of Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro (16GB), and an ASUS ROG Strix RX570 O8G. I didn't spend as much as a lot of PC gamers brag they spent on their rigs, but I'm satisfied with what I've got.

Installation was easy. I have plenty of experience building and upgrading PCs, but haven't built my own PC since around 2008 or so. Still, everything is easy to find on this board, and the manual is better than some I've seen at showing (for example) the CPU/heat sink/fan installation, and showing the best memory configurations. The board layout is better than some I've seen, including the MSI MB this replaced. Cable management is incredibly easy, as very few things plug into the center of the board. The SATA ports are partially covered by the GPU in the first PCI-E slot , but they're angled so they can still be used, unlike the MSI board, where half of the SATA ports are unusable with the GPU in place.

I don't have much use for flashy crap like the RGB, but I will say that since everything I bought for this build supports RGB (including the fans), I went ahead and hooked it up, because why not? I figured I could always disconnect it if it got too obnoxious. Even if you don't install the Aura software, you can disable/enable the RGB in the BIOS at startup. I decided to go ahead and install the software, and see what additional options it gave. I had tired pretty quickly of the lights shifting colors constantly after an hour or so. The Aura software provides more lighting options, as well as synchronizing the two RGB headers. I switched to the "Music" setting, as that makes the lights pulse with my music (and any other sounds, I later found out). The drawback is that if I turn off the monitor (or switch it over to my XBox One), it turns off the RGB, resetting it, so I have to go into the Aura software again and change my settings, then change them back. Still, that's a minor complaint, since I don't really care about the lighting, anyway. What's important is how it works.

It works just fine. I had some problems initially, with the USB drivers, but more about drivers later. Basically, I can do everything I did before, but smoother and/or faster. There's not much I can say other than it works, and in most cases, works better than my old system. The only case where it's worse is with my front-panel card reader. When I got my driver problem sorted, it worked fine -- until I turned off the power. Every time I booted up after that, the drivers would load, not work, and the entire system would be tied up in turning the card reader slots on and off, until I disabled them. I mainly only use the USB port on the card reader, and THAT is unaffected. But I can no longer use the card reader with my SD cards.

Now for the driver problems. I can't say how Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 handle the drivers. I run Windows 7 Professional. I have tried windows 8 and hated it. I was running Windows 10 for over a year, and had to get rid of it when Microsoft decided to force updates even when you're on a metered connection. Besides, I already wasn't happy with 10. So I refuse to downgrade my computer to newer versions of Windows. I'm happy to say, my Windows 7 install is chugging happily along on the new MB and CPU. The hard part is getting the chipset drivers, because the newer Ryzen processors don't support Windows 7. They DO exist, but AMD and Asus make it hard to get them. You will also need a ps/2 mouse or keyboard, because Windows 7 does not natively support USB 3.x. You need amd_chipset_software_2.04.28.626.exe -- run the installer to get most of the missing drivers, then point Device Manager to C:\AMD\Chipset_Driver_Installer\AMD_Chipset_Drivers to get the remaining USB Host Controller driver. It's not that difficult. The difficulty was in figuring this out, as searching online showed lots of people who had the same problem, but only a few shared their solution -- and those solutions were only partially successful, or in many cases didn't work at all. Anyway, once you've got the chipset drivers installed, you'll be able to go back to your USB mouse and keyboard.

TL;DR: Easy to install and to manage cables. Works fine, even for non-gamers. Easy to set up, even for Windows 7 users (as long as you have the chipset drivers).

I took the risk and decided to go Ryzen for the first time and was glad I did. I went with the Asus B450-F mainly from the good reviews, affordability and my having settled on a Ryzen 2700x with 16GB of Corsair memory on board.

For those who have either never built a gaming PC or are a bit rusty, don't worry, this is a great motherboard and I had only a few small snags in my install, mainly because I was new to the AMD way of doing things and also to the BIOs and a few things it wants when you test your POST for the first time. Just take your time and if you are not sure as to the answer for a question, Google or YouTube it or call the support line for help. I watched the YouTube videos on the Asus board and it all went well save for my little goof-up on POST.

The two main takeaways: 1.) Make sure to plug the keyboard and mouse in during your first POST test. I was used to motherboards that didn't require it and that little mistake cost me an hour of scratching my head! And 2.) Put cardboard down in a couple of layers next to the mounting clips for the Ryzen fan/heat sink so you don't run the risk of damaging the motherboard when attempting to clip the heat sink to the motherboard. Make sure to use the motherboard cardboard box as a nice testing stand for your motherboard while you run the first POST test before installing it all into the case... This is experience talking.

The Ryzen CPU came with the thermal compound applied and while I usually use my own brand, I opted to go with the pre-applied compound and it went great. I will, however, change the compound in six months or so to see how it is doing and replace it with Arctic Silver compound I normally use. As far as the installation of the CPU went, it was perfect. I handled the CPU by the edges and was super gentle in my install. Having had bent CPU pins in the past, I was in NO hurry here and triple-checked to insure all was as expected before I moved on to lock down the CPU and install the heat sink/fan.

Power supply was a Corsair CX series 750 watt power supply that was specified in the Asus list of compatible power supplies. Really nice bit of kit there and I liked the ability to plug in ONLY the cords I needed to for my setup. Worked just great right off the bat.

I opted for a Rosewill Cullinan RGB case with the fancy smoked glass sides and front panel and love how it all looks with the RGB fans with a fan hub/controller. I'm still figuring out if I can link the RGB hub up to the motherboard to take advantage of the Aura Sync system built into the motherboard. I rather do like the neat RGB lighting built into the motherboard and have yet to test the software that is freely available for Aura Sync. I did have to add 2 standoffs to the case where the motherboard attaches to get full coverage for the motherboard and other than that, it was all smooth sailing on the installation.

As for a graphics card, I opted for the ZOTAC Gaming GeForce GTX 1650 OC 4GB. It is performing well so far. All of my gaming systems have used Zotac cards and I have enjoyed how well they work in the prior two gaming systems I have built. We'll see how this new one works, but so far, in the 3 days of burn-in I've done, it has held up. I downloaded the drivers from Zotac's site and the drivers and support software installed with no troubles.

I will likely add 2 more sticks of memory on-board to take the system to 32gb and see how it all goes.

I'm a retired IT professional who did a LOT of server installs in my day. I would recommend a nice set of tools like a simple needle-nose plier set, some mid-sized screwdrivers (phillips and flat head) plus a magnetic base to hold all the screws you will inevitably be working with. It's best to have them all in one place and impossible to lose. Expect to budget 4 or 5 hours to the build and likely it'll spread over a couple of days. As I mentioned earlier, I do a one week burn-in for my systems and it is a good test of the hardware. You can get away with 24 hours, but I like to see the system truly get exercised for that full week to insure all is good.

So... In conclusion: What did I think of the Asus B450-F? So far, it is running great! The normal learning curve for a new type of motherboard and brand. Not too many surprises other than the POST requirement for a mouse and keyboard attached. I am pleased with how it all integrated. I'll update this review over time, but with 3 days so far in the burn-in time, the system is working like a dream and the motherboard temps are running low and the system boots in 15 seconds flat to login screen. I'm giving this motherboard a BUY rating and a thumbs-up.

4.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't ask for more.. But watch the price and screws.

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on January 31, 2019

Well. This is a brilliant motherboard. One of the best b450 boards out there. It is stylish and easy to install.

Usually if the computer shuts off during the bios update, the board bricks. I did this to my board too.. But figured out that it has a recovery format.

When the incomplete shutdown happens, and you restart it, the board will ask you to insert the file with a particular name from your pen drive and restart the computer. Just make sure that the updates bios on the pen drive is renamed to the file name asked by the motherboard. It recovers the bios just as new.

I don't think other b350 motherboards have this. Not sure though.

So far thermals have been fine.

Have overclocked my chip to 3.9 GHz. The thermals did go upto 82 degrees while testing with aida. So brought it down to 3.8Ghz. Stable through aida test of 30 min at 75 to 78 degrees. Under gaming load the system temp touches about 57 to 60 degrees. Which is absolutely amazing.

You can fit the 2700x and overclock it to 4.1 GHz stable. It will get toasty though. Do make sure you have a good after market cooler to keep the processor Temps under check.

All round this board is amazing.

What I disliked
1.The Amazon price I bought it for was Rs.13500. The MRP is Rs. 13000. On the box. Feel a bit cheated on that by Amazon.
2. The m.2 screws for one of the m. 2 drives is missing. Didn't think too. Much of it till I needed it.

If you want to buy the m. 2 screws, it costs almost Rs.2000. So make sure you ha e the screws wit the board. There should be 2 sets. I got only 1.

 4 estrellas no por el producto, si no por el control de calidad en ASUS (posible envío de productos reacondicionados) y el proceso de garantía. Esto será largo pero lo amerita pues pasé más un mes sin poder utilizar mi nueva PC.

Es una buena MB si te agrada la marca y estética ROG. Tiene algunos accesorios los cuales se agradecen. El manual y BIOS son buenos, completos y legibles.

Los disipadores de calor en los VRMs no son lo mejor, así que sus temperaturas no son tan buenas como algunos rivales, al menos en la gama de este chipset 450. Yo a pesar de usarla para renderizar acepté esto pues me encanta todo lo demás de la placa y esta marca en general. Si solo la utilizarás para jugar o cosas ligeras esto no es ningún problema salvo en la posible durabilidad a largo plazo.

Ahora lo importante de mi reseña: la placa me vino DOA (Dead on arrival). El LED de la placa (logo ROG) encendía, al igual que el de alimentación VGA. Pero nada más. No sonidos de error. No LEDs de error. Nada.

Al ser un armado completamente nuevo, tuve que hacerle mil pruebas a la placa y componentes e incluso gastar dinero en técnicos y mucho tiempo adicional para llegar a la conclusión de que el producto me vino descompuesto.

Así es, ya que se tuvieron todos los cuidados al armarla y aún así estas tarjetas ya vienen muy protegidas contra estática e incluso hay videos de youtube donde se les somete intencionalmente a estática y una tarjeta madre aguanta mucho más de lo que uno pensaría. Así que algunos días después de tenerla en casa (porque uno tiene su vida y no espera tener que usar su tiempo en esto) me dispuse a contactar al vendedor.

El vendedor, TODOCHEAP, me pidió que hiciera una prueba adicional (probar la ram, que era lo unico que faltaba) la cual realizé con gusto. Al hacerlo procedimos a iniciar el proceso de devolución. Si bien no me pusieron trabas en absoluto para resolverlo y se me proporcionó una guía de manera gratuita, sí tomó más tiempo del deseable lo cuál fue un poco desesperante. La PC sería herramienta de trabajo e incluso al comunicar esto, la comunicación no se agilizó. Se tuvo que contactar a Amazon para lograrlo.

Aún así, honraron la garantía y la nueva pieza funcionó correctamente. El único detalle fue la velocidad tanto de comunicación como de envío, puesto que se utiliza un servicio de mensajería más económico y lento (Estafeta 2 a 5 días) que el de Prime (DHL, Amazon, etc.).

Comprendo el aspecto de los costos, pero sería bueno haber tenido la opción de elegir otra. Yo con gusto hubiese pagado un extra por un mejor envío, más ágil, tanto en el envío de la pieza defectuosa como el de la nueva.

En fin esta fue mi experiencia y sin duda tuve mucha mala suerte.

Recomiendo al vendedor TODOCHEAP pues fuera de lo mencionado fueron excelentes en el proceso.

Por cierto, la placa mala me vino con los accesorios encima de ella, mientras que la nueva los tenía, mejor acomodados, por debajo en su compartimento. Así que si les viene así y su placa está muertita ya saben! Para que no pierdan tanto tiempo como yo.

Cualquier duda respecto al caso trataré de atenderla, gracias por leer.
