A lot of motherboard for the money

I had no problem with WIFI drivers as reported by other reviews. Updated the bios on receipt and largely all has been good.
I am marking down a star as I had trouble with the primary DDR5 slots. My ram would only work in the secondary slots but I'm not sure if that's a motherboard or RAM issue.

Good motherboard paired with an amd7600x cpu that touch 5.3ghz good set of features for what it is.
It's very good for the money but it's not feature rich like the rog x670e hero I run with a 7950x etc.
There is a couple of flys in the works that let the b650 tuf down that there is no drivers on dvd/cd or flash drive in the box this nor is there no proper full manual and some of the officail asus driver from asus web supports site work correctly namely wifi this only works when armoury crate drivers are updated that way round but it's a 60% web manual 40% armoury crate thing on that front but it work if you know what to do I do so it's fine for me as this was going to my brother & he was very happy with his pc system & thats all that mattered on his budget & many thanks to ocuk.

New build with old case and fans, Asus TUF Gaming B650-Plus WIFI (Socket AM5) DDR5 ATX Motherboard headers were clearly marked and enough fan headers to do a straight swap with my old AM4 board. Easy access around the AM5 socket for mounting AIO heatsink so build was quick. BIOS update on first boot was simple, Windows 11 fresh install saw the board and asked to load Armoury Crate on first boot, all drivers loaded from in there without any issue. iCue ASUS driver sees the board for lighting if you want to run your GPU off the RGB header. Board looks nice in the case, some plastic protectors to remove on the heatsinks and backplate so no scratches.
