Customer Review
- Reviewed in Canada on March 6, 2025Asus wasn't my first choice. It should have been.
I had originally picked up a well-reviewed Gigabyte B650 motherboard along with a Ryzen 9900X. Should be a good pairing, right? Nope. The Gigabyte gave me nothing but headaches and would only consistently POST if I used the power switch on the PSU (with the power switch on the case the CPU and DRAM LEDs would keep blinking alternately with no POST 95% of the time and the BIOS was riddled with Spanish & Italian text -- even when English was selected). After getting fed up with the Gigabyte I ordered the Asus Tuf Gaming B850 Plus WiFi while it was on a sale. I'm happy to report that the Asus has been perfect so far. It POSTs immediately when pressing the power switch on the case and the BIOS is all English as expected when English is selected.
Build quality? Absolutely great, feels solid with its 8-layer PCB (negative comments about Asus on JaysTwoCents YT channel had me avoiding Asus during my initial search). BIOS? Already feels polished for such a recently released motherboard. WiFi? Been working great for me. Features? It has EVERYTHING I need and it's even running 100% stable so far with the Kingston Fury Beast 32GB RGB RAM kit I had originally purchased for the Gigabyte (KF560C30BBEAK2-32). I was worried it wouldn't be stable since it's not (yet) on Asus' QVL, but it's been rock solid so far at full EXPO I 6000 speeds.
Before I end, I wanted to mention that I don't care much for Asus' Aura RGB software. Fortunately, however, the free version of SignalRGB already seems to be running well on this Asus. Looking forward to OpenRGB in the future to see what that can do
Need a great new B850 motherboard without breaking the bank? The Gigabyte TUF Gaming B850 Plus WiFi is a GREAT value and you can't go wrong. Recommended!
