Inland DDR4 Micro Center AMD Ryzen 7 5700X 8-Core 16-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor Bundle With Gigabyte B550I Aorus Pro Ax Mini ITX Motherboard

This motherboard and CPU combo has worked flawlessly. The stock CPU cooler ran hot and kept temperatures around 95 degrees Celsius so I replaced it with an ID Cooling CPU Fan and Heatsink. Good Budget Motherboard and CPU. With the AM4 socket upgrading in the future will be simple. Currently running in a build with an RTX 3060 and 48 GB of DDR4 Ram. It handles running multiple applications at once smoothly and efficiently.

Took about an hour to get everything removed and put back into place. I use my PC for gaming and internet browsing. Overall my upgrade is insane. Coming from ddr3 to ddr4 and an old 6 core amd cpu.

This is a good product but misleading because you except that the option to connect to the WiFi would be readily available. But actually it’s not, you have to connect to the internet using ETHERNET only, download windows, and then use the ASUS program to download the WiFi drivers. It took us a long time to figure this out and it really should have been made extremely clear. Other than that, everything is fine and I’m happy with the outcome.

I want to say first, and foremost, Micro Center is not at fault in the least for this. They are a good, reputable company that did their job in delivering this, this......(insert profane derogatory remark) motherboard and CPU. By the way, I have ZERO issues with the Ryzen 7 5700X. It is a great CPU .Anyway, here goes. I bought this board as a builder repairing one of my own computers having NEVER had an issue with a motherboard from any of the major brands. That stopped the moment I received this horrible pile of metal and plastic. It displayed every known issues at the same time. Out of the box, the M.1 slot did not work, M.2 unknown because while installing the mount screw, with no force at all, it sheared off in the mount. The second PCI-E slot does not recognize my modem.The motherboard had issues even being stable while idling in BIOS until updated, but then displayed system instability under the Win10 environment. Also, three devices/chipsets on the board we listed as unknown in device manager and no drivers were included in package, or on the web that could resolve this issue. I had to resolve with it a 3rd party solution. The SATA lanes are running all drives slower then any of my other personal builds with those same devices attached. The list goes on, but I would like to add that even the "AI Suite 3" app was limited as it constantly reverts to whatever settings it wants when you hit apply for new settings. In general, every boot up of this steaming pile is a crap shoot to how it is going to run , or even populate devices. Strongly recommend with all of the research I have done that you stay as far away fro all of the ASUS B-series boards. Don't believe me? Well, Google is free. Go research all of the known issues for this board and the other ASUS B-series boards.

I use my computer for office work with a bit of video editing I'm satisfied
