Review on Motherboard ASRock B550M STEEL LEGEND by Michal Adach ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The item is ok but not fully compliant with the description.

Good cooling for such a price, but there are also disadvantages: 1) Almost all connectors for case fans are on the bottom. Who came up with such a decision? The fans on the top of the case and the part from the front panel cannot be connected without adapters. 2) The mother is not compatible with older Nvidia graphics cards. I don’t know the exact list, I didn’t notice that someone covered this topic. There is simply no image with the gtx 770, I thought until the prices for video cards fall to the recommended ones to sit on the old asus gtx 770. I puzzled over what the problem was, even asrock support did not give a clear answer. A month later, I got the opportunity to check with r7 240, and I understood everything. After replacing the video card, the picture appeared. It doesn't look like this is a backwards compatibility issue. r7 240 also with pcie 3.0 and also the same year of manufacture as the gtx 770. 3) Of course, a dubious drawback, but it’s hard to get to the pcie latch, because. there is almost no space between the video card and the tower on the processor.

Pros
  • -Good cooling -Price - Lots of sata connectors -PCI 4.0
Cons
  • - Poor 4pin layout for case fans -Does not support older competitor graphics cards (asus gtx 770) -It's hard to get to the latch on the pcie
