I did, very stable, not a single hiccup. Been gaming for hours and hours. Some settings are missing though, like settings related to Global C-states and such. They are still there, and can be found using search, if you know the name of a particular setting.

Hello. How did you update it? EzFlash keeps telling me "Selected file is not a proper BIOS!" and ArmoryCrate says there is no new BIOS available.

I checked everything, but no matter what, I can't update the BIOS.

First, you have to unpack the bios, second you have to rename the extracted file to RSB550FG.cap, third you have to put it on a FAT32-formated USB-stick, fourth you should put that stick in the dedicated flash USB-port on the backpanel, fifth as this board has a Bios Flashback button you should use that button to flash and not any other method as Bios Flashback is the most safe way to flash, just shut down the PC with the aforementioned USB-stick in the right port, when the PC is fully shut down press and hold the Bios Flashback button for 3-4 seconds until a small light besides the button starts blinking slow and steady, the Flash will take 2-3 minutes do not do ANYTHING while the light still blinks, when flash is ready the light will go out and you can start the PC like normal, first boot after a flash will take longer time as the bios is checking all the hardware

Anyone else having issues with POST on reboot from windows?

Cold boot and reset switch appear to POST reliably but about 1 in 20 reboots from Windows get past post.... Very strange

Not happened to me even once, possibly you have some voltage setting that is off.

Thank you very much! I finally have the time to try your advice and it worked! It's kinda weird that you have to do it like this, though. I have an MSI x570 Ace and Bios updates are "easier"

Anyway, I'll test this board. So far, I don't like the Asus Bios so much. Why is so hard to set fan curves? Only 3 points and you can't change the 75º C upper limit?

Is this board compatible with 2700X? I read some Asus B550 (B550M-plus) will run with 2nd gen desktop Ryzens even though product page only lists 3000 series.


edit: Reous told me it is compatible in another forum! Thanks

That does not sound correct, since the B550 chipset only support Zen 2 and above. (Basically, 3*** series CPU's but not the APU's.)

Yes, fan curves is not ideal, I use AISuite and the built in Fan Xpert 4 which works perfectly fine to control the fans. Fan Xpert is the only function in AISuite worth using.

I'm testing AISuite and Fan Xpert 4 right now. You have more control with Fan Xpert than the BIOS version. But for some reason, I can't set up the fans the way I want. For example:

When I want to choose the source I've only 4 options: CPU, Motherboard, Chipset, and T-sensor. There is also CPU package, but I can't choose it. So my fans never spin up because are tied to CPU temps, which are much lower than the CPU package.

This is my first Asus motherboard and I'm testing it against an MSI Ace. I'll post a few quick tests (though I'm not an expert, I'll just test it the way you did)

Recently got this board and it has a fair few improvements over my previous C7HWIFI and it's nice. Wonder how long it'll be before we see AGESA 1.0.8.2 hit this board as the improvements sound truly amazing

Oh good, another plus on having bought this board, the non wifi version, I mean. :) My ram is not really overclockable and my 3700X works great without an all core overclock on it.

Can U share your mobo settings? im using Ryzen 7 3700x..

Honestly, manual overclocking all core on these processors are not worth it. (I have systems with 2 x 3700X and 1 x 3600.) Most of the time, the processor boosts to good speeds without manual overclocking.

Depends on silicon quality, my 3700X is not worth a manual OC because it's simply too low quality for that. But my 3900X sees significant gains in all benchmarks running 4425/4300/4200/4200 fixed OC.
