The BIOS on the ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F Gaming is quite excellent. I think many users will appreciate the simple hotkey for turning the RGB LEDs on or off right on the front page. Simple, stable, and to the point.
One thing I don't like on ASUS boards is the fan monitoring. If you don't have a CPU fan plugged in or are using a different header for your CPU cooler, the motherboard will give an error and prompt you to install a fan or change the hardware-monitoring settings. While I understand the importance of reminding people they need a CPU cooler, I don't like being forced into changing a setting just to boot up. This is a minor issue, and there are definitely good arguments for such an inclusion. The screenshots will tell a better story than I can.
