I downloaded the latest BIOS version, set the Expo Profile and then went manually and set the speed at 6400 Mt/s, no issues. Pretty stable.

I bought this motherboard brand new and by now, so many problems even with the latest BIOS 1616. I can not use EXPO, the ram at 6000, if changing the RAM from 4800MHz (default) to 6000MHz, Windows 11 it's crashing. I changed the RAM with a different brand - same problem. If I keep the RAM at default value no problem.

Got this this one 27th of November, updated bios last Saturday and on Monday this motherboard died. No overclocking, all factory. Can’t recommend, look into something else than this. ASUS let me down big time, looking for other options.

Do people still have issue with this board or did BIOS updates help?
Im considering this board but dont really know since ive read these comments in here.

[ericbagley]

Don't buy this mobo if you are planning on using eco mode or expo profiles! I own this board, and the bios revisions from asus AM5 are complete garbage.

Been an Asus fan for decades. The latest controversy is just a symptom of how unreliable this company has become.

I will always buy asus idc what anybody says. Ive yet to have a product from them go out. All year ive seen brands have issuea ans nobody covers it. Rma issues and more even nvidia fe having horrible rma issues. Then we have gigabyte products braking in months. Like i legit would rather have a better product. Asus is that product imo.

I find it odd that the GPU slot is PCIe 4.0 while one of the M.2 slots is PCIe 5.0. I mean, why not make it 5.0 for the GPU as well...🤔Anyways, when GPUs with PCIe 5.0 is released, this board is left behind. Might be wiser to go with the ROG STRIX B650E-F GAMING WIFI. It has a GPU slot with PCIe 5.0.

I have been having ram compatability issues with the board forever

Ran system diagnostics i’m not sure what is going on with my PC it says there is no problems at all.

[DIABOLIQUE]

[lippylucy]

[Bambledamble]

ofc msi money shills want market share.. this is ideal for a budget set up

[Volixz]

is it a good motherboard for ryzen 7 7700x and rtx 4070 ti?

[kidburnz]

I can not for the life of me get the Bluetooth to work on this
My Xbox controller will just not connect or show up as a device even idk what is even wrong
Shows up on my laptop but not this at all!!

[suzesiviter]

Look, dont moan, just stop tinkering with values to get a few more percentage points, if you wanted faster you should have just bought a better GPU or CPU!

[albee]

Dam i must have gotten lucky with mine
