Very pleased with this purchase, will recommend it to everyone!

For a long time I chose a motherboard for the R5-3600X. The choice was between AsRock B450M PRO4 and MSI B450M Mortar MAX, but in both, due to the peculiarity of the chipset, there will be difficulties with 4 memory dies at 3200+ MHz. As a result, I decided to look at the new B550 chipsets. This motherboard is one of the most budget options, but it performs all the tasks for not very demanding users. The HyperX Fury HX432C16FB4 / 16 memory also worked without problems. While the ASUS GTX1070 Dual video card is installed, the sata connectors are not closed, although not everyone needs them now. It is worth noting that there is only one internal USB 2.0 connector on the board. This means that you can connect both the "body" and the card reader only through a third-party hub (AliExpress to help) By the way, according to the manufacturer's website, there is no difference between this board and the B550M AORUS ELITE. Only pattern design and decorative plastic overlay. For backlight lovers, there are 4 RGB connectors, but the lack of an optical output personally upset me a lot. I have never regretted the purchase, I hope it will work for a long time.

Pros
  • R5-3600X started up without problems and dancing with a tambourine. The XMP profile also picked up the RAM at 3200 MHz the first time. The convenient location of the M.2 slot, you can install the drive without removing the video card, and, accordingly, install any cooling for NVMe.
Cons
  • There is only one internal USB 2.0 connector on the motherboard. No S / PDIF - you can no longer connect music via optics. Quite a long POST.

Got pros: 2 slots m2, support 5000 series out of the box With its cons. There is no type-e connector for connecting type-c from the case, given the price (8.5k), it can compete with 5800x in terms of heating

I took it under 3600 reyzen, it started up the first time, I haven’t spoiled it with overclocking yet, since everything is enough anyway.

With its pros. Manufacturer, cost under 550M chipset + with good overclocking potential. Possibility to install two M2 drives. Cons: microATX is very compact.
