Prime B550-PLUS AC-HES AMD AM4 (3rd Gen Ryzen) ATX Motherboard (Dual M.2, PCIe4.0, WIFI5, 1Gb Ethernet, SATA 6 Gbps, USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, Front USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C and CEC Tier II Ready)

I used the ASUS Prime B550-PLUS AC-HES AMD AM4 motherboard for my home arcade build, and it’s been a fantastic choice. The setup was smooth and the board offers great compatibility with my components. The B550 chipset provides solid performance, and the board handles everything from light gaming to heavy multitasking with ease. I was particularly impressed with the built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, which made setting up my arcade PC wireless and hassle-free. The board’s design is clean and compact, and the onboard audio is crisp, which is perfect for my arcade cabinet’s sound system. Overall, this motherboard offers incredible value for the price. It’s stable, reliable, and more than capable of supporting the needs of a home arcade system. Highly recommend for anyone looking to build or upgrade their setup!

It's a really good motherboard, I do not need to do any particular overclocking or anything so the PRIME line for a regular basis, handles my Ryzen 7 5700G just perfectly! I absolutely recommend it for those who require a budget-friendly build.

Working properly and easy to install without the need to reinstall operating system.

I was building a medium budget pc and this motherboard was a great fit for a reasonable price. Great quality, spacing between components was not an issue. I have had for about 5 months and haven't had any issues with the motherboard. It handles gaming well, temperature holds well with my setup, even with some modern games. I like the lighting options, while it is not essential, but it gives it a nice look. It has handled all updates, gaming, downloads, streaming with no problem or issues, great performance. This is a great value if you are a building a mid budget pc.

Very cool motherboard. Plenty of PCI-E ports and pinouts manual was very easy to read. One piece that was not positive is the on-board wifi is not great. It only operates at 2.6 band and couldn't reach 20 feet to my router. Had to hardwire then get an external usb wifi. Everything else looks solid.

I built a PC for my brother with this mobo, has all the connections you'd need, including that optical audio output. It's great for a clean build. It's been working great these weeks. If you can find it with a discount, even better.

My son's computer we got him less than a year ago had one of these motherboards in it. One day, it suddenly stopped working. The computer turned on but no display or connections (like USB) worked. We troubleshot the problem down to the motherboard having failed. Found this replacement on Amazon and swapped it out. That was SIX WEEKS AGO and now his computer is doing the same thing, i.e. motherboard dead again. The warranty would cover a replacement but you have to pay for shipping, then wait for them to get back to you, and best case scenario you end up with the same trash model of motherboard which will fail again eventually. I really wish I'd read the reviews more before just blindly buying the replacement. Had i seen all the comments about lifespan and defective issues, I'd have just gotten a different one... Really angry I'm just out $100.

Great mother board even includes BT but id consider upgrading the BT asap and for price it runs great

Excelente producto buen soporte de instalación. Salvó venía sin los tornillos habituales de instalación de las tarjetas madre Pero de ahí en más de maravilla.

If anyone is wondering about compatibility with R5 5500, I received my board 12/15/25 and it worked without issues. Perhaps I just got lucky. Board was manufactured in 2024. Very happy with it! Easy to install and lots of cool bios features.

the fans pin only like? 4 and i wish it had more

Jamás funcionó

Worked out of the box with my new Ryzen 5500, RTX 5050, and SSD with Windows 11 installed. Even had an option in the BIOS for Resizable Bar. Manufacturing date on the box said April 2025. Everything is working well! Couldn't boot at first but my RAM just wasn't fully seated. Also was having problems connecting to bluetooth headphones until I realized that the included WiFi adapter is also the bluetooth adapter and must be installed. Also be aware that if you are installing the basic stock AMD cooler, you will need to hold the backplate in place as it most likely will fall off the back after unscrewing the pre-installed stands for higher-end coolers. And as far as I can tell, there are no debug leds on this motherboard. But I maybe I just missed them.
