ASUS PRIME B450-PLUS ATX Motherboard
- Memory originally at 2133Mhz, but easily reached 3000Mhz through activation in the BIOS.

What customers say about "Connectivity"
ASUS PRIME B450-PLUS ATX Motherboard
- There is a bigger gap below the main PCIE slot, as most newer graphics cards are extra thick - this means the next PCI slot is not obscured - nifty!
- This has the nextgen USB 3.1 ports (coloured green) for high speed devices - supposed to move from 5GB/s to 10!
- There is a USB-C connector (which I needed), headers for front-mounted USB-3, and 4x PWM fan headers as well as a CPU/Waterpump header - perfect.
- It looks decent, has a lot of ports as i needed. Recommended!
- No installation support for Win7. It says 2 USB ports are usb2.0 , but don't work with Win7 installation disc at all. No chance to change anything in bios to make it working.
ASUS TUF B450-Plus Gaming Gaming Motherboard
- Great option for the money with all the different connection options and layout.
- The ASUS TUFF B450-Plus gaming motherboard was an absolut breeze to install!
- Absolutely easy install. I like it.
- Easy install for a first time system builder.
- This motherboard was easy to install and just worked great off top.
