The motherboard has connectors for DVI-I and HDMI on the back panel, but the 1600 processor does not have on-board graphics (like the 2400G with RX Vega 11 built-in); therefore, those on-board connectors are not used.
For some reason the manual does not include the pin-outs for the F.PANEL connector for the power/reset buttons and indicator LEDs. I had to scan a QR code on the page to view it on a website. I see other owners had posted helpful pictures of the diagram. The BIOS that came with the system was old, as the board might be a lower volume one compared to other B450M boards. It was updated to the latest version on first boot up (no problem booting with the 1st gen 1600 Ryzen). The BIOS installed (1003) should support the 3rd generation of Ryzen 3000 series processors due to come out, as AGESA 072 was already in place since the previous version (1002).

If you're contemplating about this device, negatively, forget it. This device is worth it.
Part 1. ASUS TUFF Gaming B450 M-Plus (March 7, 2022 purchase)
The item I received did not have a factory seal but was shrink wrapped. I was able to see the S/N, so I contacted ASUS who stated that this motherboard is intended for the ASIA/Pacific market and not for the United States and I could not obtain warranty service for the product. Additionally the item was an open box item that was re-shrink wrapped. Buyer Beware. This product is no longer sold by ASUS anywhere. If it lacks a clear factor seal or a black one with ASUS on the logo it's not intended for the US market and even if you can register it you cannot obtain warranty service. I contacted the seller who said I should not have received the item and he provides the 3-year service, not ASUS. What?
Part 2. ASUS TUFF Gaming B450 M-Plus II (March 2, 2022 purchase)
The item I received did not have the traditional factory seal. Instead it itself was wrapped in a silver plastic. I contacted ASUS and checked the S/N and they stated it was a previously registered item that had no warranty i.e. open box being sold as new.
Original Review February 2, 2020 (ASUS TUF B450M-Plus Gaming)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A friend of mine asked me to build him a computer identical to the ones I have been building for the family. My first 3 uses the B350 version of this motherboard and the last 3 used this B450 version. For us we run the Ryzen 1st generation processors (1600, 1600X, 1700X and 1800X). This most recent build will run the 1600 with the AF suffix which is built on the same process as the Ryzen 2000 series and it's a great way to get more value on a budget.
This motherboard has a native NVMe SSD slot which we use to run Windows Virtual Machines. On this particular build it will be XP, Win 7 Pro and Win 8.1 Pro with only the 8.1 Pro having access to the Internet. The board has everything we need and since we are not into gaming we put mid-range Radeon graphics cards in the PCIe x16 3.0 slot. A 2nd network interface card and a Parallel port round up the other two PCIe slots.

Very happy with the variety of connectors available, was able to plug all the parts I have purchased along with it.
It comes with RGB support for case fans, has RGB lights on the bottom right corner, looks very cool and comes with two spare SATA data cables for SSD or supported HDD drives one may have.
I like its functionality and very easy to use BIOS.
It's a high end m-ATX form factor board for an affordable price. Recommend it.
but I give 5star to customer service letting me return it, thank you!
A huge minus it's the fact that it only accepts 3 fans, 1 cpu 1 case and another frontal case fan, that's it ...
