Asus PRIME B450M-K II mATX-emolevy

Good budget upgrade for a ten year old mobo had everything I needed so very happy

Small ATX board easy to install in a standard size ATX case. The bios makes for a user friendly setup and gives the user an easier way of updating the bios via an EZ Flash method.

This board performs well and meets the requirements of building a powerful system on a budget in every way.

Turned out to be easiest upgrade. Needed a budget AM4 board to make use of gifted DDR4 + Ryzen 9 CPU and allow move from Win 10 to Win 11, something my old setup couldn't handle.

Physical install easy. Booted with windows 11 usb installer first time. Drivers updated

pcie x16 clip breaks off too easily, m.2 slot should be somewhere else then underneath the gpu, and one pciex1 become inaccessible when you install a gpu, (unless you use a 1slot gpu)

so that one should be above the pcie x16
