USB PROBLEMS - Avoid all B550 boards!

I'm running a Ryzen 5600x and have been experiencing the infamous USB intermittent disconnection issue that has plagued other b550 users. It seems that regardless of the brand (gigabyte is the worst culprit) when running RAM above 3000MHz, there are times when all your USB devices are rapidly disconnecting and reconnecting. This comes with an updated BIOS that claims to have fixed these issues specifically for this motherboard (F11k). At the time of writing I have yet to try the F11n build but there are still complaints from other users reporting that the issue has not yet been resolved. Save yourself the hassle and spend a few extra coins on the x570 board.

Pros
  • Incredibly fast 2.5GbE LAN with bandwidth management
Cons
  • Hard to say
