Review on MSI MPG B550 Gaming Carbon WiFi: Unleash the Full Power of AMD Ryzen 5000 Series Processors with PCIe 4.0 and Wi-Fi 6 AX by Anurag Case

Loaded with no problems on the first try. Supports my Crucial Ballistix 3600 C16 and my Ryzen 5 5600x out of the box. The CPU is very hot and the VRM heatsinks on this board also tend to get hot so make sure you have good airflow and cooling solutions. There are many features in the BIOS that I have never used, especially overclocking. I have ReBAR decoding and over 4G but my RX 5600XT doesn't support ReBAR, that's it. Oh well. WiFi is very stable. Didn't play it but streamed Netflix for hours with no issues. I don't have a 2.5G switch/router but the standard 1G full duplex had no issues all day. All downloads went smoothly, games run smoothly. Just a note: I chose the B550 as most X570 boards have horror stories of them breaking, DOA or dying after a few weeks of use. There aren't many on the B550, so I went with that. Knock on wood.
