I’m running a thermaltake S100 all white case and decided to go with a white theme and no RGB. And then I discovered this motherboard has RGB, on the right side where the yellow and black warning tape looking thing is, there is a RGB under there, but under the bios I have it disabled. I may put RGB in here later, but right now I’m happy with it.
The WiFi is awesome. I live in a two story house running a netgear R6700v2 and on 5ghz AC channel I get the full 115mbps spectrum connection despite being so far away.
The 2.5G Ethernet port is really cool, I don’t have that capability yet but it’s nice to have it.
It’s got Several RGB fan headers including an aura sync RGB header. So it’s good for your RGB needs.
4 memory dim slots for a micro atx board yes! Some motherboards only have 2.
2 m.2 expansion slots. I installed an SK Hynix S31 gold NVMe drive under the heat sink slot under the GPU. Be sure to follow the instructions on how to install it. The drive is super fast and responsive and the system is handling it great.
Speaking of instructions. The instruction manual is a lot less to be desired. ASUS just assumes you know computers and will figure it out on your own. Case in point, I’m used to motherboards that either have an obvious color system or number system for dual channel memory modes. Although this one is color coded it didn’t make sense as to which one to install and the manual didn’t make sense either. I had to scour the internet and look for pictures of people who had this and see how they had theirs installed to know where to put the memory lol. This is not my first computer build FYI.
I haven’t done much tweaking of the ryzen CPU. All I did was turn on DOCP (XMP) and that was basically it. Of course changing boot orders because I transferred from my old computer.
There is one little thing this motherboard does and I don’t know why. When the computer is off, if I nudge or move my Logitech g203 mouse the RGB turns on inside the mouse but the computer is off. So I have to turn the computer on and then turn it off to make the mouse turn off, I don’t know if that’s because I’m hooked up to a UPS or there is some USB wake setting on the bios. I tried looking for one of those and couldn’t find that setting.
All in all I’m very happy with this board. ASUS hit it out of the park with this. I think B550 is the way to go if you don’t want to spend 200+
And if your looking for a micro atx form factor this is perfect. My case only fits micro atx and not the standard atx.
I like the fact that the spacing of the pci express and mini pci express isn’t gonna be blocked. The nvme drive is under the GPU so that’s no big deal, instead of many motherboards, a precious pci express slot is covered by the GPU. Especially with an mATX board where you don’t have as much space to work with unlike a full atx board.
I don’t know what else to say. It just works. I am not over clocking and I never will. I want stability and it has it in spades.

Initially, tried G-Skill Rip Jaws V 3600 but the board will not take the 3600 defaulted speed, so it was a no go and got DRAM led lit the whole time.
Asus is the most reliable manufacturer out there except for this memory problem I trust the products to last me over a decade or more.
Cons: I would gladly love to Overclock the memory on this rig to 3600 and beyond but the memory will not go over 3066 from 2400 stock settings.
Edit: I could not let this go so I realized there was probably something I did I moved the RAM to A2 and B2 and the RAM was able to go to 3600.

Using it with a Ryzen 5600G. Flashing the bios was a piece of cake and worked perfectly with an old 32GB Kingston Datatraveler (USB 2.0).
