While the SATA ports can be shorted, the SATA drives themselves do no provide any power to your hard drives. My only guess is that the caps that's the motherboard used was faulty, otherwise It's the rails on your PSU (mainly 12V rails, sometimes the 5v rails) that powers your motherboard. Usually it's the PSU that fries components though.
I bought the Tomahawk in January and it already failed. I replaced it with this Asus board and have had no issues.

Good deal. I've been studying a computer upgrade and motherboard selection is one of the bigger variables in play. This board gets good reviews and has high quality sound and lan performance. An excellent value.

if this isn't flashed to the latest bios it's really not that good of a deal for people. something like the b450 tomahawk max has a 3000 series bios stock

OR if this has bios flashback like the higher end boards and you can download the file on another pc and flash it without the cpu

The Tomahawk Max has a faithful following, but I'll trade the possible inconvenience of dealing with the flash issue for the better sound and lan chips.

According to the Asus website the answer is yes...https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboa...pDesk_CPU/

I had this mobo. It fried 4 hard drives on first power up. ASUS offered me no compensation, no data recovery (even though they asked me to get quotes). Yes, they did accept fault for the crap board and sent a replacement (which I returned to Amazon). I will never purchase ASUS products again, and I want other people to know what they are getting into when purchasing from this company.

Did my upgrade on this board and love it. Everything worked out of the box with no issues. Would buy again if I were to build right now.

I love Asus but their B450 boards are sub par. Ether go Asus X470/570 or MSi for B450.

too many bad reviews on Newegg.

My b450 tom did not require a cpu to flash for the new 3000 series ryzen. Just the power supply, a thumb drive, and about 2 minutes. I'm not sure if this has the same abilities though

This is a nicely-featured (HDMI 2.0b, upgraded audio subsystem and built-in S/PDIF) board that I used to build my HTPC with a 3400g. That said, its cosmetic elements compromise its cooling capacity. I took off the plastic I/O cover (and RGB-ectomy, an especially relevant mod for a HTPC dressed in a case that meant to blend-in with my HT system components) and the iridescent sticker on the southbridge, all of which helped temperatures significantly.
