It’s a good mother board with plenty of headers, it has enough for all my fans and I love that it has system check light to know if anything is wrong during the boot up. The bios is very user friendly and having it come with the WiFi has been a blessing.

Flagrant memory issues

Seemed nice until the RAM troubleshooting began. Using more than 1 stick in any pair of slots lead to extreme errors in memtest. Those same sticks test perfectly as long as they’re alone, which means it’s the motherboard. I didn’t want to need to return it, but here we are.

The ASUS B650 WiFi motherboard is a great option if you're building a Ryzen 9000-series PC and want something solid without spending X670 money. It has all the essentials: support for DDR5, PCIe 5.0 (though usually only for the GPU or storage, not both), and a clean layout that makes building pretty smooth. The built-in WiFi 6E and 2.5Gb Ethernet are nice touches, especially if you're gaming or working remotely. BIOS setup is straightforward, and ASUS’s interface makes tweaking settings or updating firmware feel pretty easy, even if you’re not a hardcore overclocker. Port selection is decent—USB-C, HDMI, DisplayPort—but if you have a ton of accessories, you might wish there were a few more USB ports on the back. Overall, it’s a well-built, reliable board that hits a good balance between features and price. Perfect for a mid-range build that you still want to feel kind of high-end.

Does exactly what you need it to do, and it supports AM5 chips, which is great. Comes with plenty of ports for all the rgb fans in the world, and fit well in my mid sized case. For the price, it's a worthy motherboard for any mid-to-high end build.

Great fast motherboard without gaming flair

This is a great option if you want a reliable gaming motherboard without all the flare and RGB all over the place. It has a lot of ports out of the box and the manual that came with it was helpful. One thing that irked me was that I needed to connect to the internet via ethernet cable to be able to download the drivers needed to run wireless internet. If you regularly use ethernet cables, then this should not be an issue for you, but if you bought this because it came with wifi, I wanted to let you know ahead of buying this. Otherwise, it boots up super fast and I have had no issues with it so far.

It’s a great motherboard. Honestly wasn’t expecting it to perform as well as it does, the WiFi is an added bonus. I’m not able to play using LAN and I still get pretty decent ping in games(between 15 and 30 on AVG).

This Motherboard just doesn't work properly, even with the latest BIOS. I spent two weeks my life trying to get the Corsair memory that BB sold me with the motherboard to get it working. Tried all memory slot configurations, A1+A2, A1+B1, A2+B2, B1+B2... Replaced this motherboard with an MSI B650-P Wifi and the memory worked!

Had to return this board since the drivers wouldn't install. The Ethernet port seemed to be broken or the drivers just wouldn't install. I even tried a fresh install of windows and all the drivers. Yet the Ethernet port wouldn't work.
Everything else worked including the built-in wifi.
