Review on ASRock B550 Phantom Gaming 4: Supporting 3rd Gen AMD AM4 Ryzen and Future AMD Ryzen Processors by Paul Milonas

Cheapest B550 ATX MB on the market. Sure, it's not as trendy or glamorous as some of the other motherboards you can pick up for $150+, but why spend the extra cash when you can invest in a faster processor or graphics card. If you plan on overclocking a lot you might want to spend the extra money, but just for gaming and normal day-to-day work you can't beat the price of a MB. It has all the connections and features for the average gamer. Comes with the Asrock software package to manage a number of things. It also has a 5V 3-pin Argb connector for those who want to control their RGBs from the motherboard. The only thing I have some doubts about is the I/O screen, which is very basic and very sharp. My first attempt to connect to my case spilled blood, my CPU cooler got bloody. It was very difficult to set it up for my case so that all my IOs are available. The only thing to note is that it doesn't have USB 3.2 or Thunderbolt, but for $100 I'm not complaining. I recommend 100%. PS: If you don't get RAM speed, make sure you download a RAM profile. bios index. I got 2666MHz for my 3200MHz RAM when I first loaded the build, but after loading the profile everything was fine.
