Review on πŸ’ͺ ASRock B550M Steel Legend: Ideal for 3rd Gen AMD AM4 Ryzen and Future AMD Ryzen Processors by Shawn Jacobs

Revainrating 2 out of 5

two defective circuit boards next to each other. Never Again

Build ordered I've been working on since Saturday. They should have gone with 3rd gen Ryzen chips right away. mail time. Switched RAM to a lower frequency, from 3200 to 2666, no dice, changed 3 power supplies to see if the power supply is bad, no dice, switched from 3rd gen chips to 2nd gen chips, no dice, first Gen tried, no dice. So I found it was the PCB, requested a replacement, came in two days later (before this check today), replaced the old one with a spare, same symptoms as the first PCB. Frustrated so I used an Asus model x570 board which I saved for a later build. Added the 3rd gen chip and RAM and used the PSU I originally intended to use. Motherboard sent out and I was able to enter the bios on my test bench. Returned both the replacement and original board for my refund.
