Review: My first Ryzen motherboard and it was a total pleasure to install and work with... - I took the risk and decided to go Ryzen for the first time and was glad I did. I went with the Asus B450-F mainly from the good reviews, affordability and my having settled on a Ryzen 2700x with 16GB of Corsair memory on board. For those who have either never built a gaming PC or are a bit rusty, don't worry, this is a great motherboard and I had only a few small snags in my install, mainly because I was new to the AMD way of doing things and also to the BIOs and a few things it wants when you test your POST for the first time. Just take your time and if you are not sure as to the answer for a question, Google or YouTube it or call the support line for help. I watched the YouTube videos on the Asus board and it all went well save for my little goof-up on POST. The two main takeaways: 1.) Make sure to plug the keyboard and mouse in during your first POST test. I was used to motherboards that didn't require it and that little mistake cost me an hour of scratching my head! And 2.) Put cardboard down in a couple of layers next to the mounting clips for the Ryzen fan/heat sink so you don't run the risk of damaging the motherboard when attempting to clip the heat sink to the motherboard. Make sure to use the motherboard cardboard box as a nice testing stand for your motherboard while you run the first POST test before installing it all into the case... This is experience talking. The Ryzen CPU came with the thermal compound applied and while I usually use my own brand, I opted to go with the pre-applied compound and it went great. I will, however, change the compound in six months or so to see how it is doing and replace it with Arctic Silver compound I normally use. As far as the installation of the CPU went, it was perfect. I handled the CPU by the edges and was super gentle in my install. Having had bent CPU pins in the past, I was in NO hurry here and triple-checked to insure all was as expected before I moved on to lock down the CPU and install the heat sink/fan. Power supply was a Corsair CX series 750 watt power supply that was specified in the Asus list of compatible power supplies. Really nice bit of kit there and I liked the ability to plug in ONLY the cords I needed to for my setup. Worked just great right off the bat. I opted for a Rosewill Cullinan RGB case with the fancy smoked glass sides and front panel and love how it all looks with the RGB fans with a fan hub/controller. I'm still figuring out if I can link the RGB hub up to the motherboard to take advantage of the Aura Sync system built into the motherboard. I rather do like the neat RGB lighting built into the motherboard and have yet to test the software that is freely available for Aura Sync. I did have to add 2 standoffs to the case where the motherboard attaches to get full coverage for the motherboard and other than that, it was all smooth sailing on the installation. As for a graphics card, I opted for the ZOTAC Gaming GeForce GTX 1650 OC 4GB. It is performing well so far. All of my gaming systems have used Zotac cards and I have enjoyed how well they work in the prior two gaming systems I have built. We'll see how this new one works, but so far, in the 3 days of burn-in I've done, it has held up. I downloaded the drivers from Zotac's site and the drivers and support software installed with no troubles. I will likely add 2 more sticks of memory on-board to take the system to 32gb and see how it all goes. I'm a retired IT professional who did a LOT of server installs in my day. I would recommend a nice set of tools like a simple needle-nose plier set, some mid-sized screwdrivers (phillips and flat head) plus a magnetic base to hold all the screws you will inevitably be working with. It's best to have them all in one place and impossible to lose. Expect to budget 4 or 5 hours to the build and likely it'll spread over a couple of days. As I mentioned earlier, I do a one week burn-in for my systems and it is a good test of the hardware. You can get away with 24 hours, but I like to see the system truly get exercised for that full week to insure all is good. So... In conclusion: What did I think of the Asus B450-F? So far, it is running great! The normal learning curve for a new type of motherboard and brand. Not too many surprises other than the POST requirement for a mouse and keyboard attached. I am pleased with how it all integrated. I'll update this review over time, but with 3 days so far in the burn-in time, the system is working like a dream and the motherboard temps are running low and the system boots in 15 seconds flat to login screen. I'm giving this motherboard a BUY rating and a thumbs-up.
Review: Really good for gaming! - I'm using this with the Ryzen 3600 with 16gb 3200mhz ram and a GTX 1080Ti SC. Everything on stock speeds. TLDR: Awesome gaming set up. :) Playing triple A games at the highest visual settings at 1080p or even 1440p has been great. Some people have been hyperbolic about the whole voltage regulator modules (VRM) being toasty. Not a problem what so ever. I live in hot Arizona and the heat does not diminish performance by any visible means nor does it catch on fire or melt your board lol. Also, it is extremely easy to apply small aluminum passive heat sinks over them if you are worried about the heat. Which you shouldn't be in this case. It's capable of withstanding these temps and on my system, I do have an over head fan blowing down on the board which helps push out the heat through the back vent fan. As far as everything else goes, I find this to be a very affordable, beautiful and well made motherboard (provided you didn't get screwed at QC which is possible with any parts you buy). I've been playing lots of games with it and also editing some 1080p movies, which was also very nice. I honestly have no complaints. I did try overclocking my Ryzen and that ran well too, but I put it back to stock because I just didn't see any reason to bother with it. Everything ran beautifully at stock settings. The LED light symbol is neat and I like that I can change the colors to static or various color patterns via the Asus software you download online. The software seems to work well. The little label plate thing on what looks to be the north bridge area, is imho, pointless. They could have just left that blank. The GPU covers it almost entirely. I mean, I suppose if you buy a smaller gpu, then perhaps you'll be able to see it. I don't get to enjoy that view with my standard sized 1080ti. In conclusion, it's a budget board that feels like a 300.00 plus board. I don't even want to call it "budget" because I've had more expensive boards that weren't as impressive as this one. The bios settings are very nice and you can update your firmware directly from the bios screen with a jump drive. All inputs worked perfectly. Sata hard drives, etc, are all good. I definitely recommend it. PS before using a 1080ti gpu, I was using a GTX 960 and even then, gaming and editing performance was great.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can i run ryzen 3rd gen straight out of the box?**
A: It depends.  If the board has the updated BIOS, the box will have a small orange label on the front (at the bottom, near the left side), which says, "AMD Ryzen™ 3000 Desktop Ready."  If it has that logo, it'll run with Ryzen 3rd generation out of the box.  If not, you'll need a 2nd gen Ryzen for updating the BIOS first.  Mine had the logo, and all I had to do was pop the processor in and bolt down the heat sink/fan.

**Q: Will it run fortnite with onboard graphics card**
A: There is no "Onboard Graphics Card." The Ryzen 2200G and 2400G CPU's (also known as APU's) have graphics cores that will run modern games at medium settings, or older games at high settings.

**Q: How many fan headers does this motherboard have?**
A: There are actually 6 fan headers. 
2 to the left of the cpu, 2 above the cpu, and 2 at the bottom right side of the motherboard where the power switches and stuff are.

**Q: what kind of ram is compatible to this board**
A: I originally purchased Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200 CL16 (16-18-18-36) RAM (Which is on the QVL), but I like to live dangerously, so I ordered G.Skill DDR4 3600 CL16 (16-19-19-39) to give it a shot. Worked flawlessly despite not being on the QVL.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works on Windows, but not stable with Ubuntu 18.04
*by W***K on February 17, 2020*

The motherboard is a great board for a functional low hassle motherboard. The best feature of this board is the Q-LED. It is quickly able to troubleshoot hardware problems that are normally very challenging to find. An example is if using an old video card it will appear not to POST and the VGA light with be amber. The PCI Express one PCI_1 slot is actually set to PCI express 3.0 when set to auto. 3.0 is not backward compatible with 2.0 cards. It will have the VGA light as if your card does not work. The problem is that it "does not work", does not mean the card is broken. The easy fix is just to move card down to PCI_2 and that system should POST. The Q-LED is a really great helping in troubleshoot by narrowing down the potential issues as hardware issues are challenging. It may seem minor, but there are many potential problems that can occur when building a new system as I thought the RAM of CPU could be faulty. The system is partially compatible with Ubuntu 18.04, but not really. Not entirely sure why, but it would randomly freeze for no reason. It could be in use or not, but it would just freeze where nothing would work. The network card was detected as gigabit but the bandwidth utilization was a closer to 100mb speed. Was forced to use Windows 10 and system is stable. The network card operating at detected speed and random system freezing has gone away. Not sure if a big deal, but if you install Windows, it does auto inject the ASUS Grid requesting you to install the software. I installed then uninstalled due to not useful. Not a fan of general gamer advertising, if it were more focused on hardware then it might be useful. The random crashing could have been caused from ASUS Grid injecting into the Ubuntu platform trying to use Wine, but no proof of that. The locking up of the system was after I installed Wine on Ubuntu, so it could be possible, but haven’t gone back to troubleshoot. If ASUS was not injecting software into your computer from the BIOS that would be nice. If this is true having the ability to turn off ASUS grid would be great. BIOS was not updated: I was not forced to update BIOS, but it was not updated upon receiving the item. I was able to update the BIOS with no issues. It may seem slow… because it is, just wait for it to do what it needs to do. It appears to be frozen with no progress, but it isn’t. It is best to walk away and check on it every so often. I used a 2000 series cpu, so no problems here. RAM Profile was clocking my RAM at 2600 when it detect it as 3200 ram. Wasn't sure how to get what I paid for but accidentally went to easy mode and had it auto detect recommended configuration. It build a profile to allow my ram to run at 3200 with the different timing and voltage profile. Seems to be working fine now. The LED isn’t overly bright, so I use it to tell if the computer is still on. I didn’t like the power button on my case because it is so bright, so the LED inside the case is just bright enough to see that it is on. Overall still think this is a great board. I would prefer to save money by being on Linux, but having to use Windows is fine too, just cost more. The only non BIOS or compatibility recommendation is to test components outside the case before installing. Due to some of my late errors it was more challenging to use a flashlight to check components.
