WiFi drivers incorrect on Asus site, pain to install correct ones

Didn't think to check reviews on the WiFi driver issues so bit me a little, as its a common issue I put 3 stars. It caused a bit of headache as I didn't have a LAN option, found drivers to install (wrong on Asus site for this board) and got them on a USB drive but unfortunately they don't seem to work with a enabled WiFi-only bundled software called Asus armory crate. I wound up harvesting an 10 year old PCIe WiFi card from an old desktop to get started. Installed Armory, installed the correct driver (RealTek RTL8852BE WiFi) and it worked. Was a solid 3-4hrs to fix!
Granted rest of board worked and build quality is nice, actual design is low profile, not that flashy and branding; while a bit cringe as always, isn't prevalent when looking at the board head on.
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.
