ASUS B650E MAX Gaming WiFi W – AMD B650 AM5 ATX Motherboard, White PCB, DDR5

This Motherboard is Insane, I have room for an ASUS RTX 5060 and an older ASUS GTX 950, and it does PCIe 5.0 on the main M.2 slot and the main GPU slot. It's also a great color already if you want to do a White PC build like I did.

Been an Asus MB loyal fan for years and this MB reinforces my positive opinion on Asus. However, I am disappointed that the manual was not included and I had to download and then print the manual online from the Asus webpage. There was only a brief quick start guide included as documentation. I am also disappointed with the BIOS which works but is less user friendly than the previous BIOS. However, the new BIOS included more information. The RAM slots seem a little tight so a little more force was required. When I first turned it on, I am happy to report that everything works without a hiccup using a Ryzen 9600X CPU, samsung m.2 PCIE gen 5 1 TB memory and 32 GB Crucial Pro RAM. I just wished the MB had two M.2 PCIE gen 5 memory slots bc the other M.2 memory uses PCIE gen 4. There is a PCIE gen 5 expansion card slot which is reserved for future AI card. I still recommend Asus MB because my last Asus MB lasted 12 years and is still working.

So far it's nice! Waiting for the rest of my parts

Used this to replace my Gigabyte board which didn't even last 6 months. It's a shame what's happened to that brand but Asus is really started to shine on their parts and this part was no exception. It had very intuitive connections and the connections were well labeled and easy to read for the most part. However I did find the instructions to be lacking with no clear way to get more detail instructions. They would literally tell you to refer to the instructions for more information..... That you were reading. The website would just refer to the instructions. I had to find third-party people could make videos. That's pretty typical with computer peripherals and parts though. This board was way easier to set up than my old one. I just loaded up the driver for the Wi-Fi from the USB stick and then it did the rest for me. Just be careful with their optional programs they love to throw their AI garbage in there whether you want it or not.

Even after a bios update it wouldn't post. Also there are no lights to use for troubleshooting purposes so you have to guess what the problem is. You can't even plug in a beeper because there isn't even a header for that. I have since replaced it with another board and everything is running smoothly. Avoid this board.
