Review on MSI MAG B550M Mortar Gaming Motherboard: Ideal for AMD Ryzen 5000 Series Processors; AM4 Socket, DDR4, PCIe 4.0, M.2, USB 3.2 Gen 2, HDMI/DP, Micro-ATX by Gopal Baltimore

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Best mATX B550 board on the market with redundant VRMs, which is good

This is the best mATX board on the market in terms of quality and performance. Do it, but don't do it unless you're exposing the CPU to extreme cooling. + Great VRMs rebuilt for the price which is good. Can easily run 3950x with no errors when overclocked manually. + The quality of the circuit board is excellent, something people don't pay attention to, but it's very important. + The I/O shield is made of real metal to keep the VRM cool. C) Male + a USB C in the I/O shield. + Very user-friendly BIOS with constant updates. + Delivers slightly less voltage than you set, which is important as it protects your processor from crashing. - Poorly placed BIOS reset jumper - Inadequate rear USB ports. The PS2 port should have been removed for 2 additional USB 3.1 ports. A bit pricey, ideally should be less than $130.
