Your not going to have any problems with an 5900x or even a 5950x. But at the same time I'm set with my rig for the next couple years. Even my 2080 Super isn't worth upgrading because it still runs great.

Anyhow I hope everything fits OK with a Be Quiet dark rock 4 and a heatsink for the gen 4 m.2 drive. If it does this will be by far the the most packed configuration I have ever built.
Hey, just wondering how this runs with the 5950x? and wondering what case you are using? Are thermals good and will you be overclocking? Thanks in advance
this PCIE layout is good for not blocking GPU airflow. Some boards are able to fit 3 slot GPU with last PCIE x4 open but unable to use second M.2 because they share lanes with PCIE_4.
Hi Luke 🖐😊 great in depth review as always 👍. I agree at its current pricing that it’s a lil expensive and should drop its price and an integrated I/O is a must! The lack of USB-C is not a big deal I think for many people in my opinion. It’s great to see that the ASUS TUF range is starting to improve its quality as in recent times the TUF branding with different components have been plagued poor design & thermals, QC issues and overpricing e.g. TUF 5700XT, Laptop A15 to name a couple.

I was just thinking of upgrading my Gigabyte B450 Gaming X mobo (which wasn't really my optimal choice, but the one I could get at the time) and I saw this one at a nice price. Great review, realy well explainned! Keep up the great work please!!!
I bought this mb last month for a mtax build with my old 2700X. I have a cube case from the early 2000's that has a celeron dual core 775 mb. No USB 3.0 front header, it does have firewire, I've never used firewire devices so no loss. Thanks for the hard work, it is worth the money to me for the Bios. This will be my "hand me down" system. It gets all the parts from my other two systems that have been upgraded to 3900X / 3600X. This is going to be my lan party system.
i've bought this mobo 2 days ago...man it's really heavy, it's solid, full of protections, for me tuf line is actually a lot better than rog line...i was gonna buy the strix b550 f wifi but went for the this one, is a lot more functional than strix, i'm so happy with this one and now has ryzen 5th generation support and now comes with IO shield
I'm buying this mobo with a gen 3 ssd(which has no heatsinks). Should I put it in the lower m.2 slot with heatsink or should I put it in the top m.2 slot with no heat sinks and support of gen 4 , even tho I dont have a gen 4 nvme ssd.
This motherbord i would highly recommend if you looking for gaming in 2022. Because this motherbord has future to support all future upgrade for like 10 years and it's possible to add wifi to the motherbord depends on where you position your wifi. Or you can just buy usb wifi or put cable for better ping etc.
Great and concise review. I should have seen this before buying this mb. Tha lack of AIO and one more fan header for case air flow balance, plus de lack of VRM temperature sensor indicates that ASUS did not expected consumers would want to use AIO water cooler and an accurate air flow resources, mostly in small cases options. The final frustration was the ĺack of internal USB Type C header.
About the internal type C header that he was disappointed about ( 2:50 ), the mobo has type C connector on the back, so would the internal type C header be used to plug in from the front?
Hm, how you can put graphics card into lower PCIe slot, it will cover all connectors including power button? Moreover it would not fit into smaller case and mATX are for smaller cases mostly.
I got this version for only 91€! It was 116€ - 25€ Asus Cashback. For this price + WIFI/BT a NO BRAINER. The lack of a VRM sensor is maybe a bit disapointing. And some will miss the USB Type C front header. But my Fractal Meshify Mini C has only regular USB 3 front connectors. So it's not important for my setup.
Hi everyone, Im planning to buy this motherboard but I have 2.7 ROG Strix GPU and worry about interference to the bottom of the board. Anyone can give me confirmation whether I have access to the bottom of the board with 2.7 GPU?

And am doing mainly heavy audio mixing/ and normal video production in my town in Jordan. My question how much I can overclock this processor on this motherboard. I was able to overclock as 4.2ghz at volt of 1.15 and system was stable. All temperature was really super fine. Cpu temp as 37c. Motherboard was 33c.

Great review. Just ordered this for £100 on Amazon Spain for delivery to the UK, if anyone is interested. At £100 this seems to be a great board? I couldn't see much that could compete it with similar features for that amount.
I am confused between this and Msi B550M Mortar Wifi Both have great VRM design But tuf gaming has more back USB ports Mortar has front type C but lesser back ports
So... Would this board support an ASUS TUF GAMING RTX 3080 with a noctua NH-D15 CPU cooler? Furthermore, if using the NH-D15 cooler with dual fans, does this limit the amout of case fans to 2, meaning maximum of only 1 intake at the front and 1 exhaust? :(
