The best thing for the money, I'm glad I chose this option.

On this board, it was possible to overclock the CRUCIAL Ballistix Sport LT BLS8G4D26BFSBK modules up to 3400 MHz without any problems, with their base 2666 MHz. The timings are a bit high 18-20-20-38 and it was impossible to squeeze them without losing stability, but this is rather a feature of the modules themselves. I am completely satisfied with the purchase, although the main feature of the b550 (PCI-e 4.0) is still not very useful.

Pros

Everything that most users might need and at the highest level. A VRM capable of pulling out almost any AMD processor, a chic sound controller, excellent heatsinks for m2, excellent memory overclocking, a convenient BIOS and the ability to flash it without a processor, design and overall workmanship.

Cons

The price, although it is justified by the pluses, this item rather applies to all solutions on the b550 We could add output to external type c, like on the E version. There are only 4 real power phases, the rest are simple parallelization.
