  1. Daniel S.

    Pros: I’ve had really good luck with MSI boards, I’ve tried others but the easy bios and software for it always seems to be easier than others. They were one of the few boards that had the USB Gen2 Type C connector on the board which honestly sold me as my case has one for front panels Cons: The big blue USB 3.0 plug was a bit of a tight reach from my front panel, but I think it was more due to weird placement on my case, since my last case and motherboard were much simpler. Everyone else…

    Overall Review: I patiently waited a month to finally have these back in stock. With the possibility of upgrading to a Ryzen 4000 series cpu, I wanted to be sure I’d be able to support it. The increased bandwidth coming from pcie gen 4, and the USB type C port made the B550 line a solid contender. I also didn’t want to pay for the bells and whistles, so this board was a great middle ground for me. The touch of RGB was welcomed, even though I’m usually conservative when it comes to lighting….

    Pros: Straightforward simple Budget friendly B550 board. Very well labeled Sturdy build quality Great intuitive, simple to use bios even for a first time builders Excellent manual Cons: Depending on your computer case, the Heatsink shrouds on motherboard may prevent you from installing an exhaust fan for top of case nearest the shrouds well at least one slot anyway, you can easily install fan next slot over on top of case. So my normal 2 exhaust fans on top of case is now only one because of…

    Pros: – Plentiful fan headers located throughout the board enable good cable management – Two M.2 slots including a Gen 4 slot with a heat cover that one day will come in handy for storage expansion, standoffs for these slots were pre-installed which was a nice bonus – MSI BIOS very easy to navigate, posted with all components functional on first try, no issues – Looks very sleek, love the pre-installed IO Shield and touch of addressable RGB Cons: – If you’re looking for stunning RGB, the…

    Pros: 5 System Fan Headers which is great for cooling. UEFI/BIOS sleek yet simple to use Supports High Speed RAM which is great for Ryzen PCIe Gen 4 Also has a USB-C header which is harder to find on other boards. Cons: Lacking in RGB headers a little bit (only 2) but I don’t really use RGB so it didn’t hinder my experience Overall Review: Great Mid Range Board for all builders especially beginners. Everything is labeled clearly. Highly Recommend

    Overall Review: VRM Design looks great, I had some issues booting but this was only because I was dualbooting Linux and Windows. Everything is working great now! It was a great price too!

  8. SAEED A.

    Pros: – i overclocked my r7 5800x on this one to 4.7 all cores, and its working very well on it, high temp and couldnt get to 4.8 but still its a cheap b550! and 4.7 is good enough for me – Nice looking board. Cons: – I can only run one M.2 on my board which made me give up my 1tb M.2 – couldnt OC my RAM on this motherboard, even improving the timing didnt work on it Overall Review: you are looking for a good but also cheap board? this you best choice! its even better than my other x570 asus…
