Fantastic experience with this motherboard
This mother board works super well! The BIOS is easy to interact with and I had no troubles booting my drive! It works well with my Ryzen 5 3600 and is very well priced! Make sure you notice it is micro ATX though! It hardly makes a difference besides size ofc and will still fit in a case made for an ATX or at least my case. ASROCK makes great boards and I highly recommend this one!

Great for Ryzen 3000 series chip: DO NOT BUY for Ryzen 2000 series!
Update: This board comes comes with an updated BIOS for the new 3000 (3rd gen) series Ryzen and works great with a Ryzen 5 3600 CPU, however DO NOT BUY for Ryzen 2000 (2nd gen) series CPU's: The updated BIOS is completely unreliable with the 2000 series CPU. I was successful with a Ryzen 3 1200 (1rst gen) chip on one of these boards with the updated BIOS, but that was with Ubuntu Linux and I have not tested Windows with this setup.

Works fine for me.
This is my first attempt at putting together a PC. The manual was adequate. The connections were all in reasonable places and clearly labeled on the board and in the manual. It was easy to install the APU and stock cooler (Ryzen 2200G and Wraith Stealth). Everything works as advertised. On first boot, all I had to do was turn on XMP to get my RAM running at the max supported speed with this APU (2666MHz).
I have two fans, one that came with case (3-pin) in back, and one in the front (pwm). I set the silent option, and it was really quiet and cool. After a couple of weeks, I went in and adjusted the fan curves to run all my fans a little slower. This is an office-work PC, so most of the time, it doesn't have much load, so I figured a little quieter wouldn't hurt. But the stock silent setting was fine already.
The a-tuning software is quite easy to use, but so is the bios, so I stick with that. It is nice to be able to use the a-tuning to mess around with settings before going to the bios to set things "for real."
This is a very simple system, so ymmv. I only have an m2 SSD on the mobo and no separate video card. As I add things, I'll come back and edit if I run into problems or continue to have smooth sailing. But, for now, I'd say this a good mobo for a beginner to start with.

Overall an excellent value, but has a few design issues
For the price (normally in the $60 range) it is difficult to find a better value Currently shipping product supports Ryzen 3000 series out of the box. Review sites rate the AsRock B450 motherboards well (in the budget category)
Everything went together well, the board's compact size made it easy to slide into my existing computer case without removing other components. Fired right up.
The board comes with overclocking menus and abilities in BIOS. But I wouldn't bother. Unlike most boards that allow overclocking, this one has no "failure to boot" reset feature. If you make an OC change in BIOS that prevents boot up, then you are going to have to use the CMOS jumper on the motherboard to clear it. Made worse is that the slot for the video card is right on the edge of the motherboard. It's impossible to get to the clear CMOS jumper without removing the video card if using a smaller case (which most people would be using if wanting a micro ATX motherboard) And the SATA motherboard connectors are also right in line with the video card. So if you use a full size video card, the only way to get to the SATA connectors (say if one comes loose or you add another drive) is to pull the video card.
The motherboard also only has two memory slots. That really shouldn't count as too much the negative. Just be aware and order the amount of memory you want - with two sticks - up front. For an extra $15 ASRock makes the B450 Pro4 motherboard that has four memory slots and two video card slots, one further located further up from the edge of the board so the video card out of the way of way of CMOS jumper. Looks like a full size video card would still hang over the SATA connectors though.
If I had to do it over again, I'd still buy this board. Price is right and I didn't plan on overclocking anyway. MSI makes a similar board at the same price. But reviews here indicate a higher DOA rate with the MSI board.
Build is this MB, Ryzen 5 3600X, 8GB crucial DDR4, Radeon RX570 video card.

Great value, weird UEFI display
The B450m boards are fantastic value, and I've used Asrock with great success in my last few builds. One unfortunate issue with this motherboard in the particular is that anything pre-Windows (including the BIOS/UEFI screen) doesn't display on my Dell 1920x1080p 60hz monitor via hdmi. The display detects the signal, but isn't able to display whatever range the video is coming in on. The VGA output works fine.
I'd still recommend the board, but look out for quirks with the onboard video display for the UEFI config screens. Check your display before you need it!

2nd Time a Charm
DOA! 1-3 beep code (need to add a speaker; none on mobo) = Faulty RAM slots. Not sure if I should chalk this up to "chance" and roll the dice for another of the same or not...
UPDATE: So I rolled the dice for another ASRock MicroATX Motherboard (B450M PRO4). Works great. As expected. First one was a fluke. Many available settings in BIOS. Happy with decision to try again.

Best ryzen 3000 board for under 100$
This product is beyond fantastic. It’s a ryzen 3000 ready motherboard, with good vrm heat sinks, 2 m.2 ports for Sata and nvme, Easy bios, good I/O, 4 dimm slots, five fan headers, and a pcie layout that makes sense. This is the only motherboard people after the matx form factor should be buying. It has everything. I’ve overclocked my micron e die ram to 3734 MHz on this board (bios 3.88). Seriously if you are going to build a ryzen 3800x gaming system or below. You should seriously consider this board as it will not disappoint.
As stated previously I am on beta bios 3.88. It’s available through asrock a website. It opens up the boards potential as I was not able to get any ram oc done on any earlier bios’s. This board seriously rocks. Asrock really killed it with this one.

Can not beat the value at this price point!
This was my very first pc build. I was on the hunt for the best mATX AMD board for the dollar. I chose this board after reading and watching many reviews. I could not agree more! For only $75 you get so much with this motherboard. (2) M.2 PCIe slots ( the non-ultra M.2 shares the SATA 3 slot), up to (4) SATA III connections, (2) PCIe 16 slots, the list goes on! No, this is not top of the line but you can not beat the options and capabilities this board has for that price point. It was easy to assemble and install. Only hiccup I had was figuring out what speed the DIMMS actually were. I found conflicting sources. Some said 3600mhz, some said 3200+, others said 3000. Well, you have to turn on the XMP option in the BIOS to overclock the DIMMs to go over 2991mhz. Other than that could not be happier with this board for my budget build.

Package became slightly damaged. It came out of the box, but no ways to support Dual-Channel.
I bought this motherboard in favor of replacing my i5-6500 PC that got stuck in a boot loop. As I bought the AM4 motherboard and unboxed it from its package, the corners of the box were bent, but the motherboard was intact. I thought it was nothing if the motherboard was not damaged, but another problem I occurred out of the box was that I couldn't find ways to support dual channel. It was shown as a single channel in the BIOS and either 4 GB or 8 GB reserved, no matter where I replace the RAM slots or not. I tried solutions, but those simple ones couldn't work.
Thankfully, my brother has the exact same motherboard as I have and it actually supports dual channel. As I also bought my brother this motherboard too, I swapped mobos and apparently, his motherboard actually supports dual channel and mine could not. So now his motherboard is now mine and vice-versa.
To be honest, I don't know how I say about this. Either I might've got mine as a used one on accident or just bad luck?

Ryzen 3600 Works Without BIOS Flash!
It was a tense few hours since everything hinged on that part in the build where you say a prayer, take a deep breath, and then hit the power button. Will it turn on? Will it do nothing? Will sparks fly from the PSU? Will the fans spin up? To our relief (I am teaching my son how to assemble a computer), it fired right up! The board ships with BIOS Rev. 3.90 which, as of 4/26/2020, is the latest version. Installation was smooth as silk..

Nearly Impossible to install Win10
Some combination of this board, and the Seagate hybrid drive I purchased made it nearly impossible to install Windows. I've been building and working with computers for 20+ years, and after sinking 8+ hours of my own time, payed a local tech for 1.5 hours of his time to finally get the OS installed. Default BIOS settings were not compatible, and the drive had to be formatted multiple times in another machine.

Great Price
Always a Dell/Intel/MS user, I decided to do my first build since the IBM PC days (in the '80's).
Keen on both quality and value, I did a lot research before making the purchase.
I went with AMD this time, selecting the Ryzen 3 2200G as a great entry-level CPU.
Mounted the CPU, cooler and 16GB of ram, then hooked up the two PSU cables.
Used an old VGA monitor to test, plugged in the PSU and flipped the switch.
Boom, BIOS baby!
Turning it off, I added a Samsung 250GB NVMe SSD in the M.2 slot to make it a speed demon.
I then inserted a USB drive with Windows (a prior download from MS on my old PC).
Windows installation took only 15 minutes, and the system reboots in under 60 seconds!
Color me pleased. :)
The only thing I have against this motherboard is what others have said: the IO shield is a shame.
It may help to use a black marker with a very fine point to color the indents.
Follow up with an alcohol or solvent pad to clean up any stray marks.

Work as adverstised, this is my first gaming pc build.
I did a lot of research before deciding on Asrock B450M Pro4, with AMD ryzen 5 3600, MSI GeForce 1650. Installation took me 3 days with running into couple of problems.
1. The first problem was after I put all component together, the pc could NOT "boot"(POST).
The issue was that I did not connect PCI-express power to graphic card.
There are some difficult locating usb connector, front panel header and chassis fan(one with 3pin instead of 4pin).
2. After taking all parts out and put one thing in at a time to test, I could not connect monitor to on-board VGA port. Later I found out that there is NO built-in graphic with my combination of Asrock B450M and AMD Ryzen 3600. You must install external graphic card to connect to monitor.
3. After putting parts back again correctly, I was able to boot the pc into bios mode. Asrock bios mode is easy to work with.
I was able to install Windows from "bootable media usb" and installed Windows to SSD with ease. After using windows for about 30min, my system got shutdown unexpectedly. It happened for couple of times until I found out that the cpu was overheating. Its temperature was around 95 degree Celsius at idle time. Finally I found out that I did not tighten the cpu cooler fan enough to cpu. You supposed to tighten the cpu fan touching the cpu. The thermal paste helps keep cpu cool. After adjusting and tightening the fan sink enough to the cpu, the cpu temperature went down significantly.
Now my pc is in stable state. We were able to play Fornite without cpu overheating. The computer is fast and responsive. The fps rate is high when playing Fortnite, thanks to GTX 1650 GPU.

Great motherboard for the cost. We use this in our Ryzen Office Computer builds, pair it with a 2200g or 3200g and it's great. Triple monitor support is a bonus, has PS/2 connectors if someone wants to use their ancient keyboard/mouse. We love these for budget builds and have built over 20 computers using this motherboard with no issues.

This motherboard blows my mind!
This motherboard blows my mind for its price and size. It offers so much. This is a MicroATX board but has way more expandability than I would have expected. It has 2 M.2 SSD slots (one of which is for NVME), 4 RAM slots (up to 64GB), and 2 PCI-E slots. The back IO also has a lot of connections, including micro-USB, 5 USB 3.0, 2 USB 2.0, HDMI, VGA, and DVI. It is extremely versatile!
I used this with an AMD Ryzen 3 2200G processor and so far everything has worked out great.
The only bad thing is that the IO shield is just a plain silvery color, and is not the most attractive. But hey, it's going to be in the back of your computer so you won't see it, right?
This offers a lot for the budget, so I think is a solid choice if budget is your concern.

Good bang for the buck
I needed to throw together as many cores and as much ram as possible for work for as cheap as possible. This motherboard paired with a WD Black NVME SSD, 64GB of RAM and a Ryzen 7 2700 makes for a potent little workstation. For now I'm getting by with just the M.2 NVME drive, as others have said, there are restrictions on how many sata ports remain functional when you use the second M.2 slot. If that's important to you, read the manual from Asrock's website first to understand the limitations. Shouldn't be an issue for me though.
I was able to OC the Ryzen 7 2700 to 4050MHz on all cores at 1.35V. The memory impressed me, able to OC to 2933MHz at 1.25V and ok timings of 16-18-18-18-35. Normally Ryzen struggles with memory OC with four dual rank DIMMs but it handles it just fine.
The UEFI interface is a little weird and some things are buried in obscure places. Maybe it's an Asrock thing, or maybe its a Ryzen thing, not sure as this is my first AMD platform in over a decade.

Excellent Ryzen 3 budget board with unexpected nuances.
Bought this used. It seems like a pretty good budget board.
The package includes the board, a manual, an install CD, and 2 SATA cables (unknown which version, 1 straight and 1 with a right angle on one side).
This board should come flashed with a bios that is ryzen 3 compatible (mine was manufacturer flashed to bios version 3.31 and was used so newer ones should be a further bios version). This board can be used for IOMMU passthrough, although I myself had issues doing a gpu passthrough due to a lack of system experience. I will note, that only the pcie2 slot is actually an isolated group, as the pcie3 slot is combined with the ethernet slot.
Seemingly has a decent vrm. It is good to see that it has a thunderbolt connector, along with its excellent IO options. The IO shield is flimsy and stamped out of a single piece of metal without paint.
The super speed M.2 and Sata ports work. Both devices (M.2 and HDD) seem to be performing up to expectation as far as speed is concerned
It comes with 4 ram slots. However, to run high-speed, overclockable memory modules, only 1 channel (memory slots 2 and 4) actually works. My board also doesn't have error beeps when the system fails to boot as well.
This board has a reversed PCIe configuration. The PCIe3 slot is below the PCIe2 slot. To most people, the bandwidth difference will mean very little since most graphics cards are below the bandwidth of the PCIe2 slot
Just a general warning to anyone using a matx board with 2 graphics cards in a matx case or someone dead-set on using a 2+ width graphics card in the PCIe3 slot with this board:
4 expansion slots on the matx case will not be able to accommodate the lower graphics card unless it is a single width card.
**Update**
I bought mine used, and paid the price for it. The used model has a broken port. I had to buy an additional sound card to plug in headphones. Buy new if you have the option, or if you plan to use the hdmi sound or an external sound card.

Mobo needs update for at least the 2200g ryzen 3 cpu with graphics.
Good board. I can always use more fan headers this one has 2 if I remember right (not including cpu fan). Feature wise it has what I needed for a school computer build for family and wasn’t pricey.
The most important thing of note is if you are doing one of the CPU’s with built in graphics like 2200g this mobo needs a driver update in order to use the cpu. Which means if you don’t have another ryzen cpu you’re stuck sorta. I read that amd was sending repair/update kits to anyone that ran into the problem and had no other solution. And amd would send a cpu with graphics and cooler and instructions. Then after you pop in the cpu that works and update all the drivers they want you to send the cpu back.

Patience and questionable usability
I noticed this motherboard was the cheapest on Amazon, so as per usual, people fling to that.
And honestly it works most of the time.
I will say however there are a very steep curve balls thrown with this board.
1. Out of the box it did not POST. And I do not know why, took several tries to get it booting, and when it did, it has a horrendous 15 second delay from pressing the power button to actually seeing the ASRock logo on the screen. Now i say "horrendous" but i only say this because most, if not..ALL motherboards tend to actually post relatively quickly, or do something. This motherboard legitimately sits there in the dark for a bit and then finally it'll boot. now this could be a defect with my unit as i've noticed that it has like a 1 in 3 chance to not boot from cold booting (which would be ram) but i can't tell to be honest. I've had 3 motherboards, and so far, this is by far the slowest one. Even my older asrocks from AM3 or FM2 didn't have this issue.
2. The UEFI BIOS on this board was outdated, and for some reason did not detect -any- M.2 SSDs, SATA or PCIe for me until the bios was updated.
3. This board has DDR4 3200Mhz support, however INTERESTINGLY enough it does not like 3200mhz ram, I hae Corsair 3200Mhz Samsung B die memory, that it did not like whatsoever however it did not mind Crucial Ballistix 2400Mhz memory, even with a hefty 600mhz OC to 3000 CL16.
4. Ryzen 3000 support is there out the box and my 3600 seems to work perfectly fine, in line with other benchmarks on the net, and XFR is available, though using that feature seems silly, and draws unnecessary amounts of extra power for little to no gain.
Under normal use, HWinfo shows my 3600 consuming easily 65w like its supposed to be doing between gaming and doing light streaming.
Video editing or stressing the chip brought power consumption to about 90w, which is still acceptable, especially with temps only hitting about 70c on the cores, 100c on the VRMs
5. This is a basic motherboard, it gets you from point A to point B. and does it as it should, the only bad thing i'd say is you have to do a little workaround to get any non windows OS systems to not lock up, and secondly the bios boot taking an absurdly long time is really the only issue i have.
Other than that I'd buy several of these motherboards so long as i can have it reliable for booting successfully as it doesn't seem like that is the case, though it is better with newer BIOS revisions so theres that.
And honestly it works most of the time.
I will say however there are a very steep curve balls thrown with this board.
1. Out of the box it did not POST. And I do not know why, took several tries to get it booting, and when it did, it has a horrendous 15 second delay from pressing the power button to actually seeing the ASRock logo on the screen. Now i say "horrendous" but i only say this because most, if not..ALL motherboards tend to actually post relatively quickly, or do something. This motherboard legitimately sits there in the dark for a bit and then finally it'll boot. now this could be a defect with my unit as i've noticed that it has like a 1 in 3 chance to not boot from cold booting (which would be ram) but i can't tell to be honest. I've had 3 motherboards, and so far, this is by far the slowest one. Even my older asrocks from AM3 or FM2 didn't have this issue.
2. The UEFI BIOS on this board was outdated, and for some reason did not detect -any- M.2 SSDs, SATA or PCIe for me until the bios was updated.
3. This board has DDR4 3200Mhz support, however INTERESTINGLY enough it does not like 3200mhz ram, I hae Corsair 3200Mhz Samsung B die memory, that it did not like whatsoever however it did not mind Crucial Ballistix 2400Mhz memory, even with a hefty 600mhz OC to 3000 CL16.

Disappointing in so many ways..
I bought this motherboard because I wanted to build a new budget gaming rig, and step into that sweet sweet RGB/ARGB arena as well. Well it handles the budget gamer end of things decently. Though now after experiencing what "budget gaming" means (compromise on top of compromise with a little more compromise) I cant say I recommend it to anyone. Also the second half of it, RGB lighting, has been nothing short of disastrous. I am using decent quality Cooler Master Sickleflow V2 ARGB 120mm fans in my MB511 ARGB case, so its not them. They work just fine with a separate controller from Cooler Master, but who wants to open their case every time they want to change the mood lighting? Not me.
I am now on my SECOND B450M-PRO4 mobo from ASRock and both of them have had the same issue. Their own software, Polychrome Sync/RGB, freezes every single time I try to open it and often actually gives me the BSOD!! So you would think okay, I can only control lighting from the BIOS then right? WRONG! The RGB tool in the BIOS DOES NOTHING AT ALL! Screw ASRock, I'm switching to ASUS (Yay Mystic Light!) and moving up to the X570 chipset, for when I ditch my EVGA 1650 Super for the RX 5700XT (which can make use of the new PCIe Gen4). All in all a bad experience. Im just happy Amazon has let me return them without issue. Thanks Amazon!

NO VIDEO, NO DISPLAY, CPU FAN SPINS
I’m an A+ Network + Certified tech. I’m using Rizen 3 1200, adata ssd 240gb, ddr4 2400mhz.
Problem:
I did connect everything and I got no video, cpu fan did spin, case fans were on normally, no motherboard beeps. I got really upset since obviously I know what I’m doing, and everything is new. I was about to return everything and just go to a local store I thought I did received Damage Rams, Damage cpu or Damage motherboard.
Solution:
The reason why I didn’t get any video was because I was trying just the internal motherboard video hdmi output, and ryzen 1200 doesn’t brkngs any video with it.
As a certified tech I never thought that the internal motherboard video did depend on the cpu as well.
Asrock tech support;
They are not busy at the line just call them mon-fri normal business hours they’ll answer.
Performance;
Is amazing, super fast, incredible fast because ryzen 3 1200 still a quad core cpu

For me this is a solid board
I bought this board to replace an ASUS board that could not use Win10 in April 2020. There is nothing I don't like about this MOBO. For what I paid I have no complaints, and at the time I considered this an all around "budget/low end gaming" board. It had USB 3.1, 4 SATA 6gb sockets (a little lean, I would have preferred 6), and all the slots are PCIe, one Ultra M.2, and one regular SATA M.2 slot (which I won't be using). It came compatible with my Ryzen 5 3600X, so no having to flash the BIOS first. The BIOS settings were an easy affair, nothing earth shaking, but it has enough settings. This MATX board is nestled in a Dark Flash case and fits well. I have had no problems with the 16gb Corsair Vengeance 3200mhz, and is manually overclocked. I have not used the on-board GPU, so I can't say much about that. Another reason I chose this board was the placement of the PCIe slots. If I used a 2 slot wide GPU card it would not cover any of the other PCIe slots on the MOBO, I wanted a PCIe x1 slot to install a wireless NIC card. I will be upgrading to an NVMe M.2 for my boot drive/program/gaming, and relegating the SATA HDD I am using now to storage and work duties. I have not had any problems running Win10 or Linux on this MOBO. For what I do it works!

Major problems with first board
I just received this board today, I’ve built lots of computers so went through the normal build process with a new Ryzen 2600 and case, along with some known good components from a previous build.
After getting the initial components connected and installed, had some issues getting the board to power initially. It would power on for a second (fans would make like one rotation) and then it would shut off. I started disconnecting things one by one until I finally got the system to power on.
Upon the first actual boot up, the board made a pop sound and then smoke started coming out which freaked me out... as I’ve never seen this before. I thought it was the CPU but after quickly turning it off and examining everything, the CPU wasn’t damaged and it was the board.
I messed around with the board a little bit more and eventually was able to get it to boot into the BIOS but didn’t want to risk it damaging anything else so issued a return.
I’m giving a 3 star review for now because I think this was likely just a fluke. The board seems to be good quality and has great features for the price.
My only complaints, other than the board bursting into flames, are the following:
1) The SATA ports are directly under your GPU, so if you have a long GPU it’s really hard to connect/disconnect SATA devices.
2) The I/O board is kinda wonky.
Other than that, board seemed to be good build quality and really no other complaints. I’ll edit my review when I receive the replacement board.

Reliable ASRock, once again.
As usual, ASRock pulls through for me again. This board is Ryzen 3000 ready out of box, so I just had to put things together and power on my new machine.
This is my third board from ASRock in the last seven years, going from socket AM3+ to socket FM2+, and now to socket AM4. I've yet to need to RMA anything. It's all just worked.

Motherboard slowing disintegrated over time
i had problems with corruption on my M.2 NVME drive a couple of times over the last year thinking it's the m.2 ssd, however, then my SATA connections stopped working first SATA 1, 2 ... and now SATA 3 and 4 stopped working as well. I started to lose SATA drives always after rebooting and even the bios wouldn't see the drive anymore. I just spent a day reinstalling Windows 10 and all software on a brand new Samsung SSD. Just as i rebooted after the last software install the SATA drive disappeared and the system doesn't boot anymore.

1st board came DOA, 2nd board is fine
I ordered this board for a pc build that I did. I am a first time PC builder. This board is an micro ATX board that seems sufficient for a budget build. The first time I got this board set up, I remember I heard a electric cracking noise that I am still unsure of where it came from. I didn't have the board powered on or anything. i was just plugging in cables. It turns out that board was dead, and I got a constant power cycle on it know matter what I did. I ended up sending it back for RMA.
The second board seems to be working fine. I am able to get into the BIOS and everything seems to be working as intended. It has 3 ports for fans, and all of the ports for case wires are on the bottom of the board. I don't like th orientation of the case power LEDs as they switch from being horizontal to vertical as you are going from left to right, which it took me too long to figure out.
So far I am happy with it and will provide additional updates as I experience more with it.

Best bang for buck
Just built with this...AMD 3 series 2200g with on board graphics. I/O ports work as intended.
Can't beat the value of this board. B450 will be upgradable to 8 core down the road if/when the price drops due to 3 series Ryzen being released and I decide to get a dedicated graphics card. Honestly because I am old and don't game but do photo editing and the computer pretty much in its entirety for everything, this combo with 2200g and 16g of 3200 Ram rocks like the As-rock name. Asrock is the real deal. I took a bit of chance on them back in 2012 and my Asrock 970 Extreme4 now with latest BIOS is still operating perfectly with Phenom II CPU and GTX 1050.
Asrock for the win. Great and intuitive BIOS. B450 will have you covered for upgrading unless you go crazy and need more power to drive 12 cores. This board will handle 8 cores with overclocking.
It is also a handsome board. Not gimmicky or blingy but has RGB headers for those inclined. I run it in a Fractal Define C min TG case. Lovely combo and easy build.

Affordable motherboard with just enough features for what I wanted. I was wanting make a budget build for a basic office computer with minimal cabling and this fit the bill.
I stuck a 128Gb M.2 SATA SSD, 2x 4GB of cheap 2400Mhz RAM, and the Athlon 200GE.
Everything came together without any problems at all. I hope this lasts 10 years like the board that it replaced!

Seems great but can't boot from NVME drive.
This is my second MB with a new build MATX PC. The first, a Gigabyte MB, had a weird problem where it would not restart after a shutdown. Returned that for this ASROCK B450M pro 4. It look really good testing out of the case. The one test I forgot was to see if it would boot from the M2._1 port with a M.2 NVME drive. Manual says it is supported but it WILL NOT BOOT. Installing Windows 10 the installer even says so. The MB is at the latest BIOS level so I guess that's the way it is. I am waiting to see what Asrock Tech Supt has to say.

The BIOS is easy to update and they load the XMP profiles from RAM without issue. Basically this is an excellent board for the price.

Solid Board with Acceptable Performance
I won't go in to the nitty gritty - I'm a PC hobbyist who got started on systems with Pentium 266Mhz processors, but I'll stop short of critiquing VRM layout, nitpicks on the BIOS, and other things of that nature.
This board replaced the previous model of this board - the ASRock AB350M Pro 4 - which was causing my son's PC with a Ryzen 5 2600 to freeze or crash at apparently random intervals. After verifying that the RAM and GPU were not the issue, I purchased this board and made the swap. The layout was pretty much identical, so the change was not difficult at all. Windows 10 handled the switch gracefully and without incident, and all of the crashes that we experienced before are now a thing of the past.
This was a good buy for my use.

So far so good.
Affordable yet high quality motherboard. I had my Ryzen 1700 overclocked to 3.5ghz out of the box, so as far as mild OC'ing goes, it seems to do the job. I hope to get 3.8 or 3.9ghz out of it with some additional tuning when I get the chance. Also had a sticker on it that says that it's 'Ryzen 3000 series ready' So if you're looking to pair with a new Ryzen CPU it should be compatible. I will update my review if anything goes wrong. Overall, can't beat it for less than $80.

Can't say enough about this board
Honestly I've tried a lot of motherboards. Asrock's bios is one of the easiest to navigate by far. CPU and Ram overclocking was very easy, as well as tinkering with the fan speeds. The board itself is bare bones, and not much to look at, but it has everything you need. Even works with 3000 ryzen once you update the bios.
I hardly write reviews, but I've had this board for about 1 1/2 years now and it's been good to me, especially for the sub 100 dollar price point. I wouldn't buy something else unless I was upgrading to x570

Several months after using it I decided that I would like to install an M.2 2280 pci.2 SSD as a boot drive in place of an HDD for faster speeds but discovered I didn't have the special mounting screw for mounting it. I sent an email to Asrock Customer Service asking if they could send me a replacement but did not get a response so I resent the request & still have no response.

Basic budget board; flimsy and poorly manufactured IO shield
I built a budget Linux system on this board, with the following specs:
2x8GB OLOy 3000mhz RGB RAM
AMD Ryzen 3 2200G
Kingston A2000 256GB M.2 NVMe SSD
Corsair 450W modular PSU
CoolerMaster Q300L mATX case
It’s simple to install, although I’d have liked 4 RAM slots, but tbh I’d probably never use them.
The install went mostly smoothly - the CPU tray on the back is secure and it was easy to remove the clips to install the stock heatsink. Uses a 4 pin CPU connector, so CPU upgrade and overclocking/volting options are limited. While I knew about the power and RAM slots going into this because I did my research, it’s still a 4 star product at best due to these limitations. HOWEVER...
My biggest gripe, and worth docking an extra star, was the utterly subpar IO shield. It’s flimsy and bent outward a lot when pushing it into the case with minimal pressure, so now it has a convex shape. Seriously, it felt like I was pushing on tinfoil. In addition, the spring clips designed to put pressure against the motherboard were not bent in enough, and three of them were intruding into the HDMI port when I installed the motherboard in the case. Had I not noticed this, I could have damaged the HDMI port, cable, or worse, shorted the whole thing out when I booted up for the first time.
Since I didn’t want to remove the whole thing to bend the clips back inward, I just grabbed some pliers and bent them back and forth until they snapped off.
An extra 25 cents spent on a sturdier and better made IO shield would have prevented this. In 2020, even on budget systems, IO shields should be of better quality than the ones I used to get in 1995.
That said, Linux install was relatively painless aside from som quirkiness supporting the onboard AMD GPU; I had to try several distros before landing in Linux Mint, which works fine. Considering that other Linux users have had success with the 2200G in various distros, I have to wonder how much of this is due to AMD, and how much is due to this motherboard’s iGPU output implementation. Since Linux support can be dicey, it’s not worth docking another star, but beware if you plan to use this in a cheap Linux build.

Great entry level product
This is a great entry level MoBo for those looking to get into PC gaming. I built a system around this motherboard for a coworker and the system performs as desired.
A major pro for this board is the low cost, which allows you to get into PC building/gaming with lower overhead and leaves plenty of room in the budget for upgrades down the road. The cost savings achieved with this board went straight into a better graphics card.
I was a bit unhappy with the packaging however, amazon felt it was appropriate to simply slap a shipping label on the product retail packaging. Motherboards are fairly notorious from arriving DOA, I've had many over the course of the past decade arrive dead. I was really worried that this product would be dead since it didn't have any shipping protection at all.

Great MB
I've had this installed for a few months now and have had zero issues. I'm not running anything overclocked or anything, just using a simple setup for gaming. I have a 1600af with a MSI 5700xt and it handles them both with ease. (like it should). There isn't anything fancy about it but it performs. The only thing I will say that someone else may run across is that both M.2 slots are not PCIE 3.0. The one labeled ultra is but the second slot is not able to run a PCIE 3.0 M.2. It wasn't clear to me when I bought it but I just wanted to make sure that was clear if someone else reads this review.

Great motherboard, trouble-free build with AMD Ryzen 1700
I recently had to replace an Intel-based motherboard in my wife's computer, and had a Ryzen 1700 CPU laying around, so I bought this motherboard for the build. Now... normally, I like to get some hot hardware into my builds and price is less of an issue... but this build was an emergency repair so I wanted something on the cheap. This motherboard was surprisingly good and was much better than I expected for the price range!
Build:
Excellent build quality, everything laid out nicely, lots of fan power headers, sensible layout. Final configuration included a 480GB NVME drive, two 2TB Western Digital Caviars in soft-RAID-1 configuration, Nvidia GTX670 GPU, Ryzen 1700 CPU, and 16GB of Crucial 2400 work-horse DDR4 (two-by-eight).
Install:
The CPU and RAM installed on the first try, and POSTed on the first try. I moved the NVME drive over from the Intel build and bam... in business! Windows 10 updated all the drivers and the system was up and running. I'd say from the box to POST, I probably spent about 35 minutes on this build. USB3 worked... Ethernet worked... everything worked... no surprises.
Other thoughts:
Manual seems to be printed in like 4pt font in places. Not a show-stopper, but a few times I had to take a picture of the jumper diagrams with my phone and zoom in... again, minor issue and not a show-stopper. In retrospect, next time, I'll pull the manual PDF onto a laptop and use it instead.
Verdict:
Buy it.

Described supporting 3200 MHz DDR4 memory but does not. I'm returning 2 of these boards as a result.
I am in the process of upgrading several computers in my home. The first one that went through the upgrade received a motherboard-CPU combo that was being offered at the time, namely:
ASUS ROG Strix B450-F Gaming
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core, 12-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor with Wraith Stealth Cooler
When I decided to upgrade the other two systems, the motherboard-CPU combo was no longer available, so I tried to find a comparable motherboard that could be mated with the Ryzen 5 3600. The ASRock B450M PRO4 AM4 had good reviews, and was less expensive, so I opted for this one. Note that both the ASUS and ASRock motherboards claim to support 3200 MHz DDR4 memory.
ASUS: Powered by 2nd generation AMD Ryzen AM4 and 7th generation Athlon processors to maximize connectivity and speed with dual NVMe M.2, USB 3.1 Gen2, gigabit LAN and up to 64 Gigabytes of DDR4 (3200 Megahertz)
from https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FKTZC4M/
The ASUS manual also specifically states that the following memory modules are supported: 4 x DIMM max. 64 GB, DDR4 3200(O.C.) / 3000(O.C.) / 2933(O.C.) / 2800(O.C.) / 2666 / 2400 / 2133 MHz, un-buffered memory
from: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/C1iEgPZSvxS.pdf
ASRock: Memory 4x DDR4-3200+(OC)/2933/2667/2400/2133 DIMM Slots Dual Channel ECC Non-ECC Unbuffered Max Capacity of 64GB (AMD Ryzen series CPUs (Pinnacle Ridge))
So I bought two of these motherboards, along with 2 AMD Ryzen 5 3600, and two set of 2x16 TEAMGROUP T-Force Dark Z DDR4 32GB Kit (2 x 16GB) 3200MHz
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WRR3Q33/
I installed everything in one board, and found that the computer while booting, was emitting beeping sounds. This happened whether I had 1 or 2 sticks of memory on the board. When I removed both sticks, the beeping went away, but of course, the computer won't finish booting with no memory.
I then took the two sticks of memory and put them into the first computer I upgraded. The computer booted fine, recognized all 32 GB of memory and loaded the OS.
Bottom line - this motherboard does not support 3200 MHz DDR4 RAM (at least not in the configuration I received it) so I am going back to a known quantity. I am returning both of the ASRock motherboards, and replacing them with ASUS TUF (I need an mATX and the ROG is a full ATX size).
