Remembered one issue with the ASUS ProArt B550-CREATOR (that might have been just a sporadic manufacturing quality control failure):
On my first unit the HDMI and the two Thunderbolt ports were soldered (?) badly. Tested multiple HDMI and Thunderbolt cables (every cable behaved identically) that work absolutely fine with each of the ProArt X570-CREATOR WIFI units I have access to.
Issue description:
- You plug a cable into the port, the fit is nice and firm
- Everything is working fine
- If you move the cables a bit so the “force vector” on the plug changes (even being extremely careful), the connection is lost for a short while; in case of a display this is annoying but in case of SSDs connected via Thunderbolt this is catastrophic.
My purchase was in 2021 but if you happen to choose the ProArt B550-CREATOR please look out for this behavior immediately to not have any issues returning it.
