The VRM's (power delivery section) are low-end and don't have any cooling and ASUS' BIOS is nothing special but that won't matter unless you have a 16 core processor. Your processor and ram will be the limiting factor of your overclocking before this motherboard is.
At the end of the day, it's cheap and probably has all the connectivity you'd need. No point spending more on a motherboard that does the exact same thing.
Good price, shame that even 3000 series Ryzen CPU's are priced so poorly right now..
also good to know the b450 bios that supports the 5000 chipset is starting to roll out

Read some reviews that Asus AMD board have heaps of issues, heaps of return and wont pass POST. All of sudden quite some amount of factory refurbished board floating around.
Wonder why…price is cheap though. I'd say if you only need it for 8 or 12 threads, then it is worth a go.
Is ATX still the in thing?
Yeah, motherboards for ATX are way better than ones made for an AT chassis. Just upgraded from an AMD K6-2 and definitely not looking back :)
Is it any good? Have anyone got it?
