POST first time, no issues, easy driver setup New build with old case and fans, Asus TUF Gaming B650-Plus WIFI (Socket AM5) DDR5 ATX Motherboard headers were clearly marked and enough fan headers to do a straight swap with my old AM4 board. Easy access around the AM5 socket for mounting AIO heatsink so build was quick. BIOS update on first boot was simple, Windows 11 fresh install saw the board and asked to load Armoury Crate on first boot, all drivers loaded from in there without any issue. iCue ASUS driver sees the board for lighting if you want to run your GPU off the RGB header. Board looks nice in the case, some plastic protectors to remove on the heatsinks and backplate so no scratches.
