   Great Mobo
   Had no issues with the b650e itx. Yes it had no lan or wifi drivers but it’s not like it isn’t easy to get them on a usb and load everything up, was super simple honestly don’t see why people are complaining about this. No coil whine issue at all either super silent. Would buy another one if i needed it.

   It’s a good board but it DOES boot slow. And Bluetooth is weak and disconnects.
   Pretty much my only complaint is that it boots slow, as others have said. It takes like 5 seconds to display the BIOS, so it’s really only a problem if you’re going in and out of the BIOS a lot. Otherwise, it really won’t bother you. But it probably will bother you if you need to do extensive BIOS troubleshooting. I only had to go into the BIOS a few times and was getting annoyed.
   I also didn’t know that with AM5 the backplate is typically attached to the board, so I bought the wrong heatsink at first. Just make sure you buy a heatsink that is made to attach to the AM5 bracket and doesn’t REQURE it’s own (like some do), and you’ll be fine with this board.
   If you don’t know these things ahead of time, it can be a pain, though.
   Also, remember to pair this with a CPU that has enough lanes to support a full x16 graphics card and NVME drive, or the GPU may run at half speed.
   I paired this with the 7950X3D and a AXP120-X67 Air Cooler, and RTX 4070 12GB (I get like 20K in Time Spy, so it’s not a bad board).
   That’s about it, I think. Oh, and the onboard Bluetooth sucks (but it does on most motherboards, from my experience — they really need to put in better adapters, IMO).
   It’s a good board, but DOES boot kind of slow, but it’s only a problem if you go into the BIOS a lot or start having problems and need to start doing that.
   Oh, and I almost forgot — Windows 11 setup didn’t recognize the network adapter right away (which is a problem during setup because it needs a network).
   So, I had to enter special commands during setup (found online in Microsoft’s help docs or Google).
   It probably deserves a star off for it booting slow and the network adapter not working during Windows 11 setup, but since I had zero problems with it other than that, I’ll give it a 5 just because it works so well than those two things (besides those two things I’m very happy with it, and I even bought another which I just put together).

   Amazing board, outstanding quality for it’s price.
   I was very uneasy purchasing from asus again, as the previous board I had gotten came with faulty USB headers that were causing me to BSOD. This however has no issues, it runs smoothly, and while it does have a slightly long boot time, it doesn’t bother me at all. No errors ever since finishing my build, no BSODs, and a very clean and cool design. The value for your money is a no brainer, it works great if you control ot though Corsairs icue software plug-in as well, and I haven’t encountered any Software conflicts at all.

   Loving This Motherboard! My Experience!
   Update 1/14/2025
   WARNING TO ALL USERS HERE!
   I had built a awesome custom gaming pc desktop I wanted for so long and it work fine for weeks until the latest BIOS Asus release TUF GAMING B650-PLUS WIFI BIOS 3057 which caused my pc to start acting up weird daily to weekly until the point it’s a nightmare to turn on my pc now. If you wish to hear more check my reddit post “TUF GAMING B650-PLUS WIFI BIOS 3057” & “TUF GAMING B650-PLUS WIFI & BIOS 3067” about it. ASUS are releasing bad BIOS that kill/damage their MB from working right and also don’t use BIOS Flashback button either a youtube by the name jay2cents had lost 3 MB from using it. I used it once but everything work fine until i used the built-in BIOS within the settings that causing my MB ran crazy. I need to RMA it soon once i get a replacement MB not from asus. I love to share more but stay away from ASUS Motherboards.
   Honestly any reviews on this motherboard about booting up is the end user who didn’t listen well about building first time pc hardware together. My first time putting together this hardware was fun and scary experience for me.
   Motherboard didn’t boot up fully; I freaked out and said i got a defect motherboard. I was so wrong and stupid, the likely causes are either motherboard, cpu, or ram sticks. Bios on the motherboard was out of date and root caused on why the yellow dram light turning on and main issues on booting up.
   I had to redo all the Fan pins connecting again so it’s in order starting with main case fans and water cooler pump/fans. RPG on the water cooler fans were cool but not a main thing for me as long as it cools the cpu heat greatly which does i believe. I can’t say for 100% sure since I haven’t had a desktop PC in years especially one that is gaming desktop pc over normal desktop computers are.
   I picked an AMD CPU Ryzen 5 7600X since its friendly budget cpu and handles all my gaming needs greatly. It can handle 5200mhz speeds from ram good. The system rams are Corsair Vengeance DDR5 clock at 5200mhz speeds, two sticks of 8gb for total of 16GB in duel memory channel mode. Plan to upgrade it to 32gb later on.
   Cpu cooler is water cooler by Corsair H100xRGP elite liquid cooler. Finally main boot drive is crucially p3 plus 1TB gen 4 which has incredible read and write rate speeds that the motherboard handles like a pro.
   Motherboard has many USB ports for connecting USB of different speeds like USB 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 and USB type C as well two of then for 10 or 20 speeds. I would had love if it supported USB 3.0 speeds or higher since they are already backwards compatible towards older usb speeds. Anyway we have 4 x usb 2.0 ports, two usb 3.0 ports, and finally two usb c ports for connecting with. One Ethernet connection port that gives 2.5 gigabytes speeds for online experience.
   The system is fully stable on running all the hardware perfectly. I plan to upload a video review so keep eye out for other parts mentioned here.

   Love the board, easy to set up and update. I was well overdue for a new build so this board fits the bill and does everything I want it to.

   Leí muchos comentarios variados sobre su es buena o mala mobo, en mi opinión a mi me funcionó muy bien hay que mencionar que antes de hacer el ensamble busqué la memoria ram compatible ya que al parecer mucha gente tenía problema con eso yo utilice un kit corsair dominador ddr5 de 32 gb.

   Esta muy bien esta placa, me ha dado un buen rendimiento y en mi m.2 hace una buena disipación con el que trae la placa, y en cuanto a los demás no me ha dado algún problema, todo vino muy bien y sin ningún error, me gustó que trajera un bloqueador de la tarjeta de video para que quede trabada, no sé muy bien cómo se llama pero me gustó ese detalle. Lo que no me gustó es que tiene muy pocos conectores USB y al tener que pagar este precio pues se me hace muy decepcionante, compré un hub de USB de NZXT y al menos el hub con la placa no me dio ningún problema y lo detectó correctamente ya que detectó correctamente cada una de las cosas que conecte ahí, ya que tengo hubs de ventiladores y demás en el así que por ese apartado no hubo problema, y también en las conexiones de ventiladores y argb y rgb pues creo que no son muchos pero meh, son aceptables. Y aparte trae un led que se ve en las imágenes que puse que se puede configurar con el software de armory crate junto con las cosas que pongas en la placa si tiene compatibilidad con armory crate, en mi caso tengo 2 RAM que se les puede cambiar el RGB y ningún problema en ese apartado. Lo que sí no me gustó igual es que está demasiada cara para lo que ofrece, ya que como dije, no tiene muchos puertos usb, y pues de rgb y de ventiladores a mi parecer si quieres poner como 9 o 10 en tu gabinete o más, por ese precio puedes comprar otras muy buenas como de MSI o de Aorus u otra que no recuerdo el nombre pero tiene estética como de engranajes, está muy buena esa también. Aún así por este precio te llevas una placa demasiado buena, tanto en compatibilidad como en estética ya que ese color blanco se ve súper bien, si te sobra el dinerito pues cómprala si no te importa lo que puede o no traer, ya que puedes comprar cosas aparte si es que puedes
