This board looks very nice and it`s on my shortlist for a Ryzen build but the problem is that the damn thing starts at 300€ here in Portugal... It should be 250€ max.
There`s another ROG B650 board available, B650-A Gaming WIFI, but is no as good as this one and it still costs around 270€...
I love ASUS boards but their prices are getting out of hand...
great review as always!!!

the B-650E is a special case mobo
the TUF/ROG B-650 (non-E) are a far better deal, esp the B-650M (matx) which my greedy little paws have just snatched up over the holidays - TUF B-650 at just over $200

Interesting.
So, in your opinion this board is not worth the premium over other cheaper boards from Asus?
And what do you thing about this one, the ROG Strix B650-A Gaming WIFI?

the advantages of the AM5 "E" boards are for extreme overclocking or for superior connectivity. if you don't need to do either all they offer is "bling".
and for the connectivity one could go for vanilla X670 for the same price as B650E.
the TUF B650 has a 12 stage vrm which allows me plenty of PBO range with a custom loop (like where it's going to). and even does with an aio. and it was $225 xmas eve
ROG/Strix B650 is $50 more for basically bling, but does have more m.2 storage. otherwise the same guts as TUF

Nice review! This is the one I've had my eyes on, and that's still the case now. Any issues with stability or boot times (after the initial one) ? Those topics seem to be the ones that keep coming up with Zen 4.
