Review on Motherboard ASRock B550M STEEL LEGEND by Adam Kaniuk ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A valuable purchase, some advantages!

If you close your eyes to the fact that the software is bad, the board is excellent and costs significantly less than its competitors. Pros below: Good VRM (8*50A for a processor, there are only a few microATX boards that are better). It will pull any 5XXX processor in stock, but if you plan to turn on PBO, then it is better to limit yourself to 5900x; Bios reset button on the back; Lots of ports and connectors; There is a place for a WIFI module on the board (m2 key E). Some cons: Very bad software (ASRock Motherboard Utility did not start at all, citing the absence of some files), especially for backlight control. By default, the backlight does not turn off when the PC is turned off, I spent several hours to find a way to turn it off (enable deep sleep in the bios for s4 and s5, turn off the backlight in s5). It is not entirely clear why they installed 8 + 4 connectors to power the processor - the usual 8 would be enough.
