Review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rock-Solid AM5 Motherboard That Feels Built to Last - This motherboard has been an absolute workhorse in my first PC build. The ASUS TUF B650-PLUS WiFi strikes a near-perfect balance between performance, reliability, and thoughtful design. From the moment I installed it, everything just made sense—clear layout, excellent spacing, and zero guesswork during the build process. Build quality is immediately noticeable. The board feels sturdy and well-reinforced, with solid heatsinks, clean PCB layout, and a premium, no-nonsense look that pairs perfectly with modern builds. It doesn’t rely on flashy gimmicks—just smart engineering and durability, which is exactly what I wanted. The layout is especially builder-friendly. There’s plenty of clearance around the CPU socket for large air coolers, clean routing for power and front-panel cables, and well-placed headers that make cable management straightforward. Even with a full-size GPU installed, everything remains accessible and clean. Performance has been excellent. Stability has been flawless, memory setup was painless, and BIOS navigation is intuitive—great for both first-time builders and experienced users. Built-in WiFi and Bluetooth worked right out of the box, and connectivity overall is more than enough for gaming, productivity, and future upgrades. I’ve been running this board since August 2025, and it’s been completely reliable—no crashes, no weird quirks, and no regrets. It feels like a motherboard you install once and trust for years. If you’re building on AM5 and want a board that prioritizes quality, stability, and smart design over hype, the TUF B650-PLUS WiFi is an easy recommendation. ASUS nailed the fundamentals here. Highly recommended. 👌
Review: Good price. A bit dated, but wonderful firmware and good features. Lots of control. - There are newer chipsets and I largely went with this because of the price to get to the AM5/DDR5 platform without having to sell a kidney. The firmware was pre-flashed with a version that already supported Zen 5 already, so I didn't have to try to figure out how the headless flash function works. There was still a newer firmware version out there, so I still recommend updating, but you should be able to do so as normal through the menus. There is a lot to be said about ASUS one way or the other, but the motherboard firmwares are pretty good with excellent options. There are bonus extras that many others forget like the uncore/memory "OC mode" which doesn't actually overclock (they should probably change that name) but can help with performance. There are lots of other little things here and there, some of which I haven't seen in a few of the other firmwares right now. Nothing major, but altogether you have a lot of control over your system configuration. This doesn't only allow for good overclocking, but just better control altogether (for example, even lowering clocks is easy to do if you want a system to run cooler and quieter.) It even can override CPU speed to a fixed speed if one was so inclined (you have to be _very_ careful with this, but it can yield good results if the cooling can handle it.) The WiFi and Bluetooth functions were a nice little bonus. In Linux they just worked right out of the box for me, so big plus there. (I half expected that they wouldn't work and I'm sure ASUS wasn't thinking of Linux users, but I'm really glad that it does work. Nice bonus feature.) I didn't even know about the Bluetooth until I saw it show up in Linux, but that's a very useful feature to have built in to the motherboard. It also has three M.2 slots, though I'm a bit confused about the PCI-E/M2 configuration in this system. I originally read this as a PCI-Express 5.0 system, but it may only be the first M.2 slot? Very confusing. If it's PCI-E 4.0 only on the PCI-E slot perhaps that will limit later GPU options, but today even if a PCI-E 5.0 card comes out I seriously doubt it could utilize the capabilities of 5.0. All in all a really good bang for the buck if you're looking for something that isn't the absolute top of the line but has plenty of features. The fact that it just works right out of the box with Linux also is an excellent plus.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent board, fair price.
*by M***X on December 4, 2025*

Absolutely solid motherboard. It came with Bios that registered and worked with the AMD AM5 9800x3d, and since then has had four BIOS updates. I engaged with two with little issue and everything has been working perfectly, so I've been hesitant to grab the others. The bios has a solid suite of features. Good fan controls, and plenty of OC/UC options. I configured it for EXPO with my RAM and it's been stable since then with no extra tweaking. Usually I skimped on motherboards, essentially the cheapest part of my rig. I spent a little more on this and I think it was worth it in the long run.
