Review on ๐Ÿ’ช MSI MPG B550 GAMING EDGE WIFI Gaming Motherboard: Powerful Performance for AMD Ryzen 5000 Series Processors by Joey Gilbert

Revainrating 5 out of 5

DOA, but it looked very nice! Bye MSI!

This is my newest MSI DOA product. I spent a day fighting it before giving up. The fee was not included. The Debug LED flashes when the processor crashes. Processor - Ryzen 9 3900XT.1. I checked compatibility on MSI website, it's on the list.2. Everyone recommends flashing the bios. So I went to the MSI website and downloaded the updated BIOS. Ouch! The BIOS update only reads flash drives formatted in FAT32.3. Okay, I found a FAT32 flash drive. Follow the instructions on MSI website and watch the flashing red light.4. I let the light blink for 30 minutes, it doesn't stop. It should only have taken a few minutes to flash the BIOS.5. Tried another FAT32 flash drive. The same, the light keeps flashing forever and won't stop.6. Try a reboot and the same CPU error light comes on.7. They removed the motherboard and sent Revain back. I will try another brand. Update: 12/25/20 MSI replaced by Asus Prime x570. Worked great with Ryzen 9.
