## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Gaming Board
*by P***4 on July 30, 2021*

This board performs like it said it would. Easy to put on all of the components necessary for great gaming. If a 60 year old woman can do this, I'm sure most people can. And if they can't, technical support is fantastic and YouTube has videos galore to walk you through setting up your gaming computer. I started out with the Asus Tuf Gaming B450M Plus II. I compared the 450 with the 550 and decided to go with the 550 and sold the 450 to my nephew who recently fried the MB in his computer. I am very happy with this board and when I'm ready to upgrade or build another for my grandsons, I may try the Strix line.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great for a first time build. Will update GPU fittings when I get it.
*by K***  on July 18, 2020*

Really love it. (any issues are purely my fault) Would buy again for another build. Had some trouble with the system panel header but easily resolved with a night's sleep. Had a hard time mounting the cooler as I'd put the one that I could access easily on first and took hours of work to finally input the second clip but that was only my fault. The processor was an easy install, no hiccups, and the fans were plug and play. What really blew me away was the RGB. I wasn't even aware this motherboard had RGB and yet it's one of the coolest features of the build. once I remove my temporary GPU and install my RGB 2060 Gaming Z, the whole thing should look stunning without having it look like RGB barfed on my PC. Nice clean aesthetics and great layout. Only problem is it's really hard to put in the I/O shield (which I bent in my newby-ness), and the mounting screws were an awkward fit, popping out several times before I just replaced them with some laying around from a previous build of a family member's. Super amazing, but a few tips1. Remember to get the i/o shield in before you get the motherboard screwed in2. Don't use the stock screws, find slightly tighter fit screws (Use PC screws!!!)3. Make sure you line up the arrow on the processor4. Make sure you put the top latch of the cooler in first if you're using air cooled (don't recommend water unless you have something like a Ryzen 9 3900x and RTX 2080 etc.)5. Make sure the cables are hidden as best as possible/sleeved or covered somehow, so you don't have a hideous mess of cables.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Need to use BIOS Flashback to flash BIOS for 5800X (and maybe other 5000 series processors)
*by D***F on March 26, 2021*

First off, I'm glad I bought this board.With new processors coming out all the time, it's inevitable that a processor will not be supported by the available BIOS as it was manufactured previously and sat on a shelf for a while, so an update is needed.In the past, this would mean that you would need to have a compatible processor to use just so that you can flash the BIOS.Thanks to the Flashback feature, you can flash the BIOS even if your board won't POST with the processor you have installed.Here's what you need:1) Get the firmware version from ASUS that will enable support for your processor, run the renamer and store the renamed file on the root of FAT16/FAT32 formatted flash drive.2) Turn off the PC, but leave power connected.3) Plug the flash drive into the appropriate USB port, which should be labeled on the I/O shield.4) Push and hold the Flashback button for ~3 seconds until it starts flashing.5) If it starts flashing faster, you're updating and need to wait for the flashing to stop. If the light goes solid, it means the process can't run (likely due to incorrect flash file on the USB) so you need to check and try again.6) Unplug the flash drive and power on. Hopefully you'll meet with the same luck I did and get a familiar BIOS screen.Now to the actual review:PROS- Trouble free (barring the expected hurdle of potential BIOS version not supporting some processors).- BIOS Flashback is the type of QoL improvements that keep me coming back to ASUS.- Included heat shield for M.2 drives.- BIOS options and management software offer multiple ways to OC and manage/monitor your operation.- Plenty of fan headers.- I can control the onboard lighting via my Corsair iCue software, which is convenient.CONS- MINOR grip: I wish it had one more USB plug on the board. It has 2 and one is being taken up by my AiO controller.- Details for the flashback procedure were not in the paper manual, so I had to dig online to find the information.Overall very happy.This is the 3rd TUF series board I've bought (Sabertooth R2 for my old OC'd 8350, 450 Plus for my wife's 2700X, and this 550 Plus for my 5800X), and I will continue that trend until they disappoint me.
