ASUS AM4 TUF Gaming X570-Plus ATX Motherboard with PCIe 4.0, Dual M.2, 12+2 with Dr. MOS Power Stage, HDMI, DP, SATA 6Gb/s, USB 3.2 Gen 2 and Aura Sync RGB Lighting

I was expecting the BIOS and motherboard connection part to be a Hell for me, given this is my first time, I was wrong.Didn't have any complications through the installation, the BIOS setup (which by the way I find it very easy to navigate through), and neither on the operative system usage that I'm using to write this review.I'd recommend buying it, although the top review pointing out the damages after 2 weeks and poor customer support has me concerned. Will update this review if something happens.Still, nothing has gone wrong for now and everything went nicely and running smoothly. Fits perfectly for my black/yellow PC build, a nice yellow industrial color design (Corsair for the most part), I like it!Material quality and durability are nice, I admit I pushed a little too hard on the 24-pin power connector, but the motherboard held on strong.Oh yeah, the RGB lights are pretty cool too, not too bright to be a disco dance floor, but also not unnoticeable, it's balanced and good.Assembly is mixed, I have never built a PC before, so my first experience cannot be granted for sure.Would probably buy it again for any of my friends if they decide to upgrade.

Very well made board with plenty of features. Support for up to 128 GB ram, Easy to overclock in my case a Ryzen 9300x up to 4.1GHz very stable. Love the ability so save profiles based on the particular OS you are running. Can easily update the bios from a USB thumb drive of straight from within the bios via the internet. Also easy to Hackintosh... If you choose to hackintosh the internal Network adapter will not work, you'll need to get a compatible USB wifi adapter or you can use the Internal Network Card I purchased here on Amazon that has native Mac Support, installed without any needed drivers and works right out of the Box. Intel I210-T1 Network Adapter E0X95AA I enjoy the Board and to date have not had any issues, lockups, blues screens or problems.

Motherboards tend to come in two varieties: good but expensive or cheap and crappy. It is the rare motherboard indeed that comes in at a low price and manages to be reliable and well equipped, and the TUF Gaming series for x570 is a shining example.Pros: x570 chipset, large volume of memory support on QVL, high memory speed relative to the Ryzen memory controller capabilities, solid easy-to-understand BIOS, high quality VRM that is not only best in it's class but competes favorably against motherboards with a much higher price tag, and debug LEDs that already helped me out for memory overclocking. These two are more subjective but minimal RGB that is easily disabled and it has a solid feel to it.Cons: Given the price and other features I won't deduct stars for the following: while it has the debug LED lights it does not have a post code, nor does it have a BIOS flashback button. You have to short it on a specific pin, which while it works I still don't like doing that. Also more USB ports would be nice, and better placement of the chipset fan would have been a good idea.TLDR: The TUF punches far above it's weight and provided the perfect combination of price, performance, and scalability. You can run and OC a 3900x or even a 3950x if you wanted to, and at 165$ for a new chipset it's a steal.

A few months in, I'm glad that I went with this choice versus cheaper brands. This board has a ton of space for expansion once you build your rig. Everything mounted just fine, and I've encountered no issues. BIOS setup was easy and intuitive, and the computer boots fast.It's nice how thorough you can be with programming the lights, although I needed three separate programs to cover my RAM, motherboard/case fans, and CPU cooler. This may cause a bit of memory usage if all running at the same time in the background. There are ways to consolidate it, but I've run into issues trying them.I would suggest getting the WIFI compatible model, since I've been using a Linksys WIFI USB adaptor, and it cuts out every few hours and reboots. I only use this because I had it from before building this PC, and the WIFI compatible board is more expensive.I hear of a lot of my friends having motherboard issues with their PCs (and they're relatively new), because they cheaped out on the motherboard. If you buy a model like this, you won't be sorry.
