Review on 💪 ASRock B550M Steel Legend: Ideal for 3rd Gen AMD AM4 Ryzen and Future AMD Ryzen Processors by Michael Nastanovich

Good build quality and features, but there are a few design issues and a few boot software issues (after repair). The local network was temporarily disconnected. and had to run the device through Windows to get it working again, which was fixed with a BIOS update a few months later. Recently I found that for some reason the second M.2 slot creates electrical noise when used in the front audio jack, resulting in annoying noises in the speakers or headsets connected to it if your hearing is good enough to record it. It looks great from this angle, but the rear IO Shield logo is partially obscured by a full-size rear exhaust fan. If you really want it to show up, make sure you have a thin fan, or omit it altogether. The chipset/M.2 coverage is also covered by almost every graphics card. Its RGB control works well. The RGB logo and cover are not turned off with the system, only when the power button is turned on. While I had issues with this as an early adopter, I now recommend it if you want some of the features of the X570 but want to save some cash.
