ASUS ROG Strix B650-A Gaming WiFi AMD B650 AM5 Ryzen™ Desktop 9000 8000 & 7000 ATX motherboard, 12 + 2 power stages, DDR5, 3x M.2 slot, PCIe® 4.0, 2.5G LAN, WiFi 6E, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C®, Aura Sync

Sleek and cool motherboard everything is labeled and make building pc very simple the wifi is great as well if you don’t have Ethernet

Fast shipping, it did show up in the factory box which sucked but that’s not really the sellers fault. Looks great, works great- Ryzen 5 9600x, RTX 5070, lian li o11 mini v2, 2 ssd, 32gb ram, 850 watts. No issues at all!

Working good, lots of bells and whistles

Excellent quality motherboard with lots of extras and good VRM for multi-core processors. Has the advanced sound chip for great sound quality.

This is a great MOBO. The modern Type-C buses are super nice to have, multiple NVME slots. If you plan to run multiple GPUs make sure your case is large enough. Only beef I have with ASUS is that the Armory Crate software is hot garbage. Seriously. They moved Aura Sync into Armory Crate so just to run the LED drivers you need almost 3 GB of SDKs and frameworks to use it with the native app. It requests multiple admin permissions on startup. Why? The software hogs resources during runtime. Needs updates otherwise it breaks. Won’t download and apply updates correctly due to tight system permissions, no debugging. Utterly ridiculous. I guess they spent the entire budget on UI R&D

First off — yeah, it’s marketed as a white motherboard, and mostly it is… but you do get some black undertones in the PCB and components. Not a dealbreaker, still looks slick, but if you’re going for that full white-out build, just know it’s not pure white like the newer revision that came out later (where even the base PCB is fully white). That said, it feels premium. RGB zones are fully customizable, tons of headers and connectors, CPU socket install was smooth, and everything from unboxing to setup felt like handling a high-end product. What you see in the listing photos is exactly what you get. Now the cons — and this is why I’m knocking off a star: 1. The included Wi-Fi antenna is black. It just… clashes. For a board that leans into the white aesthetic, I was honestly surprised they didn’t throw in a matching white or at least gray antenna. Tiny detail? Sure. But if you’re building a color-themed rig, it stands out. 2. No optical audio out. That really threw me. I get that digital audio is moving to USB and HDMI, but come on — this is a top-tier gaming board. If you’re running high-end speakers or older AV gear with optical input, you’re out of luck. And yeah, maybe I should’ve caught that in the specs, but still — feels like a strange omission at this level. Overall: it’s powerful, it’s pretty, it performs. But for a board this expensive, missing basics like color-matched accessories and optical out kinda takes away from the experience.

Digna de la marca buenas terminaciones y accesorios, no tiene que ver nvidiarle a las b850. Muchas veces por ahorra algo se baja en la eleccion, esta MB tiene un buen VRM y precio es muy bueno.

I ordered this motherboard as I was planning on upgrading my 8-year-old AMD 3700/Geforce 2060 system. The first motherboard arrived with the packaging severely damaged. This was not a shipping issue; the entire box looked like it had gone through some difficult times. So I did not trust what was inside the box. I requested a new motherboard while sending the first one back. The new board arrived two days later. I was excited. I put the PC together, and the CPU fan was only turning its lights on, but not spinning. Removed and reseated the CPU fan, and that started working. However, one of the error/boot lights on the motherboard was yellow. Typically meaning there was an issue with the DRAM. I took the RAM out, used a fan to blow out any dust, and reseated the memory. Booted again, and nothing. So I thought maybe it's a BIOS issue, looking up this board and issues with a 9900 series processor. I was able to download the BIOS update to my cell phone and use an "on the go" cable to transfer the BIOS to a USB flash drive. I initiated the BIOS update as per the instructions, and when I booted the PC, it just got stuck in a "BIOS is updating LED firmware. Do not shut down or reset the system to prevent system bootup failure" screen. I looked at several forums, and some said it took minutes to a day for the system to update. I thought that to be unusual, but not impossible. I let it run overnight and then the next day, since I had to work. Came home, and it was still stuck at the same screen, just looping. I boxed it up and requested a return. I do not recommend this motherboard until ASUS fixes the issues with its quality. The quality of this particular board was very bad.

The ASUS ROG Strix B650-A Gaming WiFi is one of those boards that hits a sweet spot for Ryzen builders who want premium features without wandering into overkill territory. It’s got that clean white Strix look that pairs nicely with themed builds and the layout is super friendly for first time AM5 users. Performance is rock solid with good VRMs for boosting Ryzen 7000 chips and the BIOS is classic ASUS which means easy tuning and reliable memory support. You get plenty of I/O, fast WiFi, PCIe 5 on the storage side, and enough fan headers to make a serious airflow setup. Overall it feels like a board built for gamers and creators who want stability, style, and room to grow.

Esta muy bien esta placa, me ha dado un buen rendimiento y en mi m.2 hace una buena disipación con el que trae la placa, y en cuanto a los demás no me ha dado algún problema, todo vino muy bien y sin ningún error, me gustó que trajera un bloqueador de la tarjeta de video para que quede trabada, no sé muy bien cómo se llama pero me gustó ese detalle. Lo que no me gustó es que tiene muy pocos conectores USB y al tener que pagar este precio pues se me hace muy decepcionante, compré un hub de USB de NZXT y al menos el hub con la placa no me dio ningún problema y lo detectó correctamente ya que detectó correctamente cada una de las cosas que conecte ahí, ya que tengo hubs de ventiladores y demás en el así que por ese apartado no hubo problema, y también en las conexiones de ventiladores y argb y rgb pues creo que no son muchos pero meh, son aceptables. Y aparte trae un led que se ve en las imágenes que puse que se puede configurar con el software de armory crate junto con las cosas que pongas en la placa si tiene compatibilidad con armory crate, en mi caso tengo 2 RAM que se les puede cambiar el RGB y ningún problema en ese apartado. Lo que sí no me gustó igual es que está demasiada cara para lo que ofrece, ya que como dije, no tiene muchos puertos usb, y pues de rgb y de ventiladores a mi parecer si quieres poner como 9 o 10 en tu gabinete o más, por ese precio puedes comprar otras muy buenas como de MSI o de Aorus u otra que no recuerdo el nombre pero tiene estética como de engranajes, está muy buena esa también. Aún así por este precio te llevas una placa demasiado buena, tanto en compatibilidad como en estética ya que ese color blanco se ve súper bien, si te sobra el dinerito pues cómprala si no te importa lo que puede o no traer, ya que puedes comprar cosas aparte si es que puedes

Onboard audio isn’t the best. Required a DAC AMP solution to get decent enough audio for gaming. Other than that flawless product

its a great motherboard its got all the feature i need the overclocking is substantial enough for most people (amd's built in OC stuff), the connectivity is great for the average person and gamer, looks are good they could be better however i understand this is the budget version so they will cut corners somewhere, now my reason for only 4 stars is firstly the asus bloatware armoury crate is useful however everything else that tried installing i hadnt found a use for so i removed them, and the second reason for my 4 stars is i believe might just be a me issue but it doesnt matter what i do if i plug a mic into either the front jack or the rear jack its extremely quiet like even yelling its barely picked up but if i use a usb adapter for my mic its perfectly fine.

Super recomendo, amei testei ela ontem
