When looking into supporting motherboards for the Ryzen 5 i kept reading forums on Reddit and watching tons of YouTube videos by Paul's Hardware, Bitwit, Linus's Tech Tips and of course Jay'sTwoCents. Considering these guys are all pros and have what seems like the deepest pockets and sponsorships and all i couldnt really afford the best of the best system. However, when comparing this model of B350-F vs the Prime Plus vs A370, this one offered the most bang for buck and had the complete list of features i needed along with some basic RGB features included.
The Good - This variant of the b350-F motherboard is by far the best one to use, has a very easy (and pretty) bios interface - overclocking on this badboy is so easy and straightforward that you will be able to do it without even watching a YouTube video although i would recommend you watch one prior to doing anything on it. Pricing of this thing can't be beat either, i purchased this when it was for $104.99 on Amazon and had a $20 rebate from ASUS bringing it down to just $85. At that price, the amount of features this board offers, including its build quality is amazing. This board fit perfectly in my Phanteks P400 tower without feeling too tight at all. There are also a plethora of USB ports on the back including 3.0 as well. Overall quality, price and build of it is very impressive. The board also stays relatively cool and i have not experienced any spikes in temps.
The Not So Good - The only thing i disliked was that the board did not include a USB type C port. That is literally it! Everything else was perfect for my needs and booted up like a champ when i first built everything on it.
Overall - This B350-F board is the best option to get and can even save you some money. For moderate overclocking, a plethora of ports and cool RGB lighting as well as multiple points for fan and AIO connections, i would highly recommend this board. The lack of a USB Type C port is the only thing going against this board, other than that i am extremely glad with my purchase and do not regret it at all. If you're on the fence of getting this vs the A370, i would say go with this unless you are truly into water cooling and doing high Overclocking for extended periods of time. This is perfect for everything else and can handle moderate OC. Look it up on YouTube as well if you'd like to.
Easy to mount, everything worked neat from the first power on .
Pro's:
-The conections are very well thought (helps a lot for cable management)
-The M.2 Sata slot is well placed so It doesn't received negative air pressure from the GPU (like most of the motherboard at this price range)
-Beauty BIOS UI, with a bunch of options and info.
-RAM QLV is quite impresive, being compatible with most of the best RAM in the market.
-THE LED (I was not into the lights thingies but after I saw it well combine with my STRIX GTX 1060, I fall in love)
Con's
-If you have a Windows 7 licence and you want to upgrade to W10 with the licence you purchased, it's going to be unconfortable to do it at the begining. As most of you might do, to boot Windows 7 you will need a USB memory (by this time is odd to find anyone who use DVD ROM) and at the time to boot up the USB Stick, this motherboard won't recognize any USB device connected to it. ASUS is well awared of the situation so they upload to their support page for this board a software (ASUS EZ Installer for Windows 7 64-Bits) that combine your Windows 7 ISO with the drivers for this MoBo so as soom you boot it up, your mouse and keyboard works just fine. In my case (and most of you that don't have a External DVD ROM) you can simulate your Win7 ISO with a 3rd party software (Virtual CloneDrive) and from the ASUS EZ installer you can combine both drivers and WIN 7 ISO and then do your thing and boot your WIN7 Stick and install.
And yes...that was my only con for this Motherboard, that I won't reflect in my final score (tho was very frustrating because I had to do my own research).
Other than that, I am very satisfied with this MoBo.
PD: Yeah, I was kind of scare due some bad comments/reviews from other people, but all this time, ASUS for me have been a very good company, and any of their products have worked perfect for me (Monitor, Motherboard, GPU) by the time of this review so I gave it a try and I don't regreat.

Algo que me gustó mucho es el puerto LAN y el audio, la calidad de ambos se percibe desde el momento.
Creo que sí vale la pena pagar el extra por esta tarjeta madre en comparación con otras b350. Realmente no piensdo overlockear por el momento pero se siente la calidad de la tarjeta, todavía me falta probarla mucho pero hasta ahora todo bien.
El bios está demasiado rebuscado para mi gusto pero es cuestión de adaptarse.
Also to update bios you need to rename the CAP file on a fat/fat32 usb harddrive
非常にコストパフォーマンスよくまとまっている。
スリムなどの省スペースパソコンの自作にお勧めしたい一枚。
注意点としては、
使い勝手の良いファンコンがあるにも関わらず
ケースファンが一か所しかさせないこと。
x16 slotが1本しかないのでM.2SSDをマザーボードに装着した際、
横置き等ではエアフローを気を付けないと非常に熱を持ちやすくなる。
グラボを指すと、x16 slotが無くなる。
Ryzenの内蔵GPUなしにはx16 slotが2本以上あると助かるの本音。
