Three weeks ago I made the EXPENSIVE choice to buy this motherboard. I haven’t looked back since. This motherboard is absolutely amazing. While there are only 4 SATA ports, there are a whopping 5 M.2 slots. Knowing there is a total of 9 hard drive slots makes me know that I will never run out of storage with this thing.

When I bought this I thought there was no reason for anyone to buy this overpriced motherboard. The CPU and RAM slots are top-notch, the RAM slots are DDR5 8000 and can use a max of 192 GB. The CPU slot on the other hand takes 13th and 14th gen LGA CPUs.

There are an insane amount of backports and USBs on this, you can use so many accessories with this motherboard. While using this my 5 monitors worked perfectly. My $4k GPU worked flawlessly and it was beautiful. Plus the motherboard looks very good.

The power this motherboard can use is mind-boggling. It was a great choice got high-end gaming PCs. It is very expensive but if you have the money for it I think it’s worth it.
I rate it 5 out of 5 stars

After first getting the MAG B550M Mortar Max Wifi motherboard I was thrilled to see the amazing esthetics behind this creation. With the black and white smooth and futuristic style it had in my sleek black PC case, it fit the overall look perfectly. What I like the most about this motherboard is the amount of compatibility it has, with the ability to put anything from a Ryzen 3rd gen to a Ryzen 5th gen, I can choose the best CPU for the budget and the uses I need out of this motherboard. With wifi being built into this motherboard, I no longer have to worry about using an adapter like I was using on my old motherboard, allowing me to get the best family-friendly use at home. With four RAM slots, I can truly pick how much I need for my uses for this motherboard from a range from 8 GB of RAM to 128 GB.

Even with the integrated components of the motherboard, you have a wide variety of options. I like being able to connect my phone to the PC Via my USB-C phone cable, and with these integrated component options, I no longer have to worry about using adapters that don’t give me the speed I need. With the display port and HDMI port, I can hook two separate monitors without the need for a graphics card. Also, with the 7.1 audio this baby has, I can hook up the ultimate sound system that I can use when I work.

This is the rating this motherboard has on Newegg, which isn’t bad, it is pretty close to how I would rate it. Now my rating on this motherboard, based on the experience I have had so far with this motherboard, would be 4.5 out of 5 eggs/stars. I was truly hoping that there would be more expansion possibilities with this motherboard for the price of 169.99 on Newegg. Though this motherboard does have plenty of storage connection available, with its 6 SATA ports, including an M.2 Slot, it just doesn’t have enough expansion slots as I would prefer to have. That is how I would rate this motherboard and my review of it.

Today we will be reviewing the ASUS ROG-STRIX B650-A Gaming motherboard. I choose this motherboard to reviewing this motherboard today because it is an amazing motherboard with great capabilities for gaming.

The reason I pick this specific motherboard is because AMD has been the leading manufacturer in CPUs these past few years. They also have their own GPU series (I would not recommend using it) but they have expanded horizons that specialize in CPUs which makes them a great choice to pair with ASUS because ASUS is an amazing motherboard manufacturer. I am extremely biased towards them because I have had so many amazing experiences with them in the past.

It also holds a maximum of 128 GB of RAM (Random access memory) This is where the CPU uses the memory in the RAM to store temporary storage that leaves once you turn off the PC this si what we uses typically to run games.

It is a pretty cheap motherboard that can work for basic things you use on a home PC. For all these facts and notes,  I think this will be a good home PC.

The Gigabyte B550 Gaming X Motherboard is a good motherboard for a price to performance ratio. The motherboard comes at $100 on newegg and offers many capabilities. The motherboard also has support for Ryzen 5000 series and 3rd gen Processors.

It offers plenty of SATA Ports and M.2 Connectors, this allows for plenty of storage when in need. It also has 2 PCIE x16 slots for a good graphics card or 2 if you want to run games even faster. It also has 1 PCIE x 1 slot for a network card or similar. This shows it has a good storage capacity and a good amount of areas for a graphics card.

For 3rd Gen AMD processors it has a native memory speed of 3200MHz and can have overclocked RAM up to 4000MHz. For 5000 series processors it has a native speed of 3200MHz and up to 4733MHz overclocked. This memory speed is incredibly high and it is highly unlikely you will ever use the full extent of it’s speed.

It has a rating of 4 out of 5 eggs on newegg showing it is highly liked.

The fact that this motherboard can move at a very high speed such as 3200MHz shows it is a good motherboard. Many motherboards do not have this as their native speed and have to overclock to get to this speed. This motherboard comes with many features that make it a suitable motherboard for gaming or for a home pc. This motherboard also comes at a good price compared to some others. It is one of the cheapest motherboards that support AM4 processors. For these reasons I believe this to a be a very good motherboard.

This motherboard is a very good starting motherboard, and is really easy to build off of. I personally do not have many bad things to say about this motherboard, it has good aesthetic, and is a really good motherboard for the price it is listed at ($109.99) on Newegg.

Some of the specs include: AM4 Socket

4 RAM Slots

6 SATA Connectors 

LAN: 10/100/1000 MBPS

List of all specs here

Everything about the motherboard aesthetically works just fine, the RGB looks nice, the motherboard itself looks clean, really nothing to complain about there. 

One thing I will say about the motherboard, it is pretty old, so newer CPU’s will not be compatible with it. If you are looking for a computer to play games on, I would go with a newer motherboard. However, if you are looking for a motherboard to start out at, this one works great!
