Gigabyte B450 AORUS M Motherboard
- Front audio and USB port connection are nice features.
- This one has USB 3.1 gen 2. Perfect for me.
- I/O selection is great for this board, it has multiple 3.0 and 3.1 USB slots which is one of the more attractive features of this board.
- Good quality, a lot of USB ports!
- It didn't connect to the desktop which was very frustrating because everything turned on, even the lights, fan, and graphics card.
ASUS TUF B450M-Plus Gaming mATX Motherboard
- It has plenty of USB ports, which is nice.
- Excellent enough USB board, HDMI output and ideal size for small settings.
- Only two case fan headers and one is placed awkwardly sort of in the middle instead of along an edge.
- M.2 slot appears to not be NVME-compatible.
- The USB-C port is broken. It's very loose and won't hold a USB-C cable or make contact to allow you to use it for anything.
