This Mobo worked right out of the box on Unbuntu 22.04 I cant say enough about it.I love the asthetic raindow lights. It was a breeze to setup. A+ I would highly recommend this one. Great Job ASRock!

I recently lost a motherboard due to a power surge. I also started noticing some issues with my gaming video card, so, when I replaced the motherboard, I did not install the gaming card. The board works great and starts quite quickly. And, to my surprise, I'm still able to play a lot of my games at decent quality with the motherboard alone. I am older, as are my games, but as an example, I'm able to play Borderlands 2 and Minecraft with the graphics turned up, and they look and play great. This is my first ASRock mb, and I highly recommend it. I haven't played with the lighting yet, but it looks great out of the box.

Purchased this for a build with one of my students. I bought two other motherboards (both MSI) and they BOTH were DoA. I've always used ASUS (until the MSI garbage) but happened to scroll across this ASRock B450M Steel Series. After reviewing the motherboard on the ASRock website (which is an awesome website for reviewing motherboards...their diagrams and pictures are perfect!) I decided that this would be a good motherboard for the build.Upon receiving the motherboard everything was intact and, pulling it out of the box, the attention to detail was terrific! The student installed it, along with all the components, turned it on and...SUCCESS!!! The RGB lighting is perfect and not too dominant. Along with his RGB case and fans everything looked amazing! We went with a Ryzen 5 5500 CPU and I do believe we have a winner!Never used ASRock before but I'm jealous of my student's PC. I love my all-white RGB build but I don't have an RGB mobo...and the ASrock is extremely aesthetically pleasing!As for the motherboard's performance, time will tell. But given how bad QC at MSI is I will definitely be looking at the ASRock brand for future builds/upgrades!Great product, pleasing to the eyes, great price and will hugely recommend!!!

The media could not be loaded. It gave me more ram to use and as well as an ARGB header. Word of advise, NEVER use their RGB software. Get a controller. Their software is awful for RGB. Other than that no complaints. If your RGB is fritzing then search “I can’t flash my ARGB firmware” in google.
