I liked this board for 2 years with 7800x3d so put it in the wife's computer when I upgrade to a 870 9950x3d. I can still see this board proforming for a long time.

★★★★★Hasta ahora me ha ido super bien con esta board
Es la primera vez que armo una pc con mis propias manos. No exagero cuando digo que me la pasé un mes averiguando componentes para que mi pc quedara muy bien armado. Uno de los componenentes que más se me dificultó conseguir fue la board, pues además de que debía ser compatible con los demás componentes, tenía que ser una que no generara problemas en la instalación. He visto muchas reseñas de diferentes boards (incluyendo esta) y todas tienen diferentes problemas. Esto me preocupaba mucho, pues no lograba dar con la board perfecta.
A la final opté por la Aus rog Strix B650E-E para mi conjunto. Lo primero que hice fue actualizar la BIOS por medio del flasback, el cual fue un proceso bastante sensillo. Armé todo el pc e instalé el sistema operativo y hasta ahora todo va super bien.
La board no emite ningún tipo de sonido como de bobina (he visto que muchos critican otras boards por este aspecto), además, el inicio es super rápido, creo que tarda 5 segundos. No me arrojó ningún error con respecto a los otros componentes y está marchando super bien.
Creo que los que tienen problemas con esta board es que no actualizan la BIOS antes de instalar todo o porque tienen algún componente que no es compatible con los demás (como la Ram por ejemplo).
Estos son los demás componentes de mi conjunto:}
-Rayzen 9-7950x3D.
-Ram ddr5 5200MT/s FURY Beast 64gb (4x16)
-RTX 4080 super Asus.
-Kingston NV2 2TB M.2 2280
-ASUS ROG RYUO III 360 ARGB All-in-one
-Fuente de alimentación ROG STRIX 1000W Oro PSU
Un aspecto negativo que tiene esta board es la temperatura del Chipset. Me sorprende que todo el conjunto tenga buenas temperaturas que rondan entre los 45 y 65° bajo carga, pero el chipset llegue a temperaturas de 80°! Esto me tenía aburrido, pero averiguando resulta que si conecto una memoria M2 en el puerto M.2_4 PCIe (que viene siendo el inferior de la parte derecha de la board) este funciona a través del Chipset, lo que hace que la temperatura de este aumente tanto. Al mover esta memoria a la ranunda que se encuentra sobre esta que viene siendo la M.2_2 PCIe, la memoria se conecta al CPU, por lo tanto la carga no va hacia el Chipset. Solo con esto la temperatura del Chipset ronda los 60° . Omitiendo este aspecto siento que es una muy buena board y una buena inversión.

★★★★★Excelent B650E motherboard, probably the best. But way too pricey.
Update 2:
Today, March 30th 2025 - it's been exactly 2 years since I bought this motherboard and the price is still the same 350 bucks. Insane. I replaced my 7800X3D with a 9800X3D but the improvement is negligible. Still running a 4090 since a 5090 is impossible to find at or near MSRP. My DDR 5 6000 CL30 memory failed and I had to RMA it. That process was annoying. I remember games hitching and freezing with lots of micro stutters. A few days later the PC wouldn't power up at all. The two 7 segment LED displays was spot on. Memory died not sure what did it though.
This motherboard still holds its own against X870E motherboards out there. Though Asus is slowing down the BIOS updates for this board a lot. We hardly ever see BIOS updates for this board now. Not as frequent as it was when this board came out.
Not directly related to the board, but taking full advantage of the 2.5Gbr Ethernet port. Ended up spending 2000 dollars on a NAS and it's connected to my 2.5Gbps Ethernet port on this motherboard. It's really epic. Never had a NAS before and I'm loving it. A whopping 65TB of data formatted in RAID 5 (4x Exos X24 drives) plus 2x 1TB NVMes drives for cache and 32GB RAM. Not a bad investment.
Update 1:
Today, June 24th 2023, Steve from Hardware Unboxed just uploaded a massive B650 board roundup with 35 boards total. That guy is a Legend. Steve picked the Asus B650E-F at 280 dollars as the best all-around board. And gave the second spot to this B650E-E board. Only reason why this didn't get first spot? The extra 70 dollars. In my opinion, the extra features of this board will better future proof your investment, and give you the coveted dual 7-segment fault code reader. 2x PCIe 5.0, 1x PCIe 4.0, 1x m.2 5.0, 3x m.2 4.0, Thunderbolt USB 4.0 (add-on adapter required sold separately), 10x USB 3.2, 8x USB 2 0, Wi-Fi 6e, 2.5GbE.
BIOS problems have been sorted out, and BIOS 1616 has been rock solid. I've manually disabled PBO and the CPU is still capable of boosting to 5,025 and 5,050 on its own. I also do not have an EXPO DDR5 module, yet the board works just fine with XMP enabled.
The warranty situation has been sorted out as well, ASUS no longer posts warnings disclaimers regarding Beta BIOS not being covered under warranty. They will cover the warranty as promised if your board is defective.
I've seen a lot of people giving a 1 star rating to the B650E-F and B650E-E, complaining about the BIOS, or about the board not having full support for all physical NVMe slots. These people need to educate themselves. It's both a limitation of the CPU as well as a chipset limitation by design. If you want more PCIe lanes, go ahead and pay more, by purchasing an X670E variant of this board. It's not rocket science.
Original review:
Let me start my review by saying one sad truth about the current state of our beloved enthusiast PC market: It's getting harder and harder to find hardware with great features at an affordable price.
Just 5 years ago, this motherboard would have hypothetically, cost between 180 to 230 bucks.
Unfortunately, manufacturers are artificially segmenting their products, removing features that were commonly found in entry level to mid tier motherboards and pushing these niceties to their handpicked "premium" boards. It's painful.
One great example of that is the removal of a simple, dual 7 segment BIOS error code display reader. My last board was a B450-GAMING-PRO-CARBON-AC and it only had 4 red LEDs for troubleshooting. it was extremely difficult to pinpoint exactly what was wrong or why the system crashed or didn't post. That's why I felt compelled to get a new board with those very useful built in displays. Unfortunately, you have to pay 100 for that nicety over the boards that would have served you well, but had such features removed. Gamers Nexus just made a video about this very issue. A few days ago.
I do like this board a lot. But it shouldn't have cost more than 280 to 300 bucks.
The things that I like about it:
-Heavy, beefy PCB
-The inclusion of a debug code reader on the board (expensive feature nowadays)
-Nice passive heatsinks and heatspreaders
-PCIe 5.0 x16 for the GPU
-PCIe 5.0 x4 for one NVMe drive (without affecting the PCIe 5.0 x16 for the GPU), and two PCIe 4..0 x4 m.2 NVMe drives without sacrificing the GPUs 16x lanes. If you populate the last (4th) NVMe slot, then the GPU loses lanes and it could slightly impact your GPUs performance.
-BIOS is very nice and useful, but a bit hard to navigate
-ARGB AURA can controlled / enabled / disabled within BIOS
ARGB can be fully controlled via the free OpenRGB software. Motherboard, RAM, GPU, PSU can all be sync up the this amazing and lightweight app. You can save your lighting presets and have the app execute them at startup to automate your lights without slowing down your system's resources / CPU / RAM. Nice!
-Very adequate VRMs
-Good BIOS CPU fan(s) curve / graph, allowing you to set exactly the desired temperatures and fan speeds.
-Plenty of high speed USB ports, and even Thunderbolt 4 port, but you'll need an add-on adapter your use it (sold separately)
-Vast memory compatibility, ensuring a fast and stable computer
-Good and timely BIOS updates including Beta BIOSes
-Reset BIOS button
-BIOS flashing without needing to have a fully functional or operational system (BIOS Flashback)
-BIOS profile save / restore allows you to easily save all your BIOS settings onto an USB flash drive and quickly restore all settings after a BIOS reset or new version update for example. It's very helpful an convenient!
I could go on about some other great things, but I'll switch to the things that should have been better:
-Priced too high, in the territory of X670 boards
-***Extremely long boot times with default memory settings. Gigabyte's AM5 boards have much quicker boot times by default.
***Found a way to shorten boot times significantly by selecting: AI Tweaker -> DRAM Timings -> Memory Context Restore to Enabled. It also enables Power Down to Enabled. This resulted in boot times between 17 to 20 seconds from full shutdown. BIG IMPROVEMENT!
-BIOS is a bit hard to navigate. I believe Gigabyte and MSI make easier to navigate BIOSes
-*Spyware / malware / rootkit-like Armoury Crate (for those who dare!) software that automatically opens up and starts to install itself immediately after a fresh Windows install. It's spooky and wrong in so many ways. It's pretty easy to uninstall it, and NONE of the features from this horrible software suite are necessary to run your system. I immediately un-installed all Asus software to free up system resources. What were they thinking, really... Shameful move by Asus. I've seen people return this board because of this problem. Time to wake up and listen to your customers ASUS.
*This automated software install can be completely disabled via BIOS options (on by default).
-No physical power button on the motherboard. Something a sub 200 dollar Socket 1155 board from 2011 had.
That's about it.
I actually would have picked up a Gigabyte B650E AORUS MASTER had it not been discontinued. I asked Gigabyte directly and they confirmed it. Sad.
I'm not going to put my computers parts list because I don't like to brag about it. This is not reddddit. I've spent too much and I'm actually embarrassed over it. Never, have I ever thought I'd be spending close to 4000 dollars on a high end gaming PC. But here we are in 2023 with every single tech company doing their best to drain our wallets dry.
You'll be well served with this board. Recommended by me and Steve from Hardware Unboxed. Have fun with your new system!
