I'm amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

I put together a new computer for myself, which includes the following components: a Corsair 4000D Airflow, a Seasonic PRIME Ultra GX-1000, an AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, and a Noctua NH-D15 black chromax (so far with one cooler out of two normal — I'll keep an eye on the temperature). MSI MPG B550 GAMING CARBON WIFI Bowers&Wilkins MM-1 Kingston HyperX FURY RGB 3600 C17 32 GB Bowers&Wilkins MM-1 Gigabyte Aorus Gen4 PCI-E 4.0 x4 SSD 2 TB

Pros
  • At this particular moment, almost everything is appropriate! As soon as I turned it on for the first time, I went straight into the BIOS and updated it from there. I did this using a USB flash drive. There were no issues encountered while reading the timings of the four memory sticks that were fitted (3600 CL17). One of the many distinct benefits is that the front panel of the box includes outputs for both USB type 3 and USB type C connectors. The capacity to synchronize RGB illumination by connecting a video card to the motherboard via a separate cable (for example, Palit GameRock 3080). It is now possible to manage the memory sticks' backlighting independently or in synchrony with the backlight on the motherboard itself thanks to the proprietary MSI Dragon Center program. The memory sticks were automatically configured in the program. From a sudden and pleasant bun - redeem on AC Valhalla, when enrolling on the MSI website, while uploading a photo of the serial number and purchase paperwork within the stipulated time frame - I'm waiting for an answer.

  • We were unable to find it.

The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

Excellent board, well worth the cost. With its positives being: The B550 chipset is the most recent, powerful, and passively cooled chipset (unlike the X570 chipset, there is no micro turntable on the B550 chipset). There is nothing missing, even connectors on the board for USB 3 and type-c for connecting the body's muzzle. Everything that you require is here. Since I can choose either path, this is something that is really essential to me. WiFi, as well as Bluetooth. Synchronization of the…

The perfect product for any user!

Excellent, but not inexpensive. There are other options that provide more bang for your buck. Its benefits include the following: -That RAM, which on the x470 I could only start on XMP by increasing the voltage, starts up with identical timings here even if the voltage is lower. You can reflash the BIOS even if you don't have any other components besides a USB flash drive and a power source thanks to the flash bios function, which allows you to do so. At the very least, the very first revision…

Best price for this product, will buy more!

For a long time I chose a motherboard based on the B550 chipset. I leaned towards ASUS TUF Gaming B550-Plus (Wi-Fi) / Asus ROG Strix B550-F Gaming (Wi-Fi) or Gigabyte B550 Aorus Pro AC, but then I looked at various reviews and selections on YouTube, and also found a tablecommparing motherboards boards () In the filter table, I chose the characteristics I was interested in and the choice fell on the MSI MPG B550 GAMING CARBON WI-FI. Total: This board has received a lot of positive feedback on…

Pros
  • Motherboard pros: - Price, relative to other compared boards; - ATX size (I wanted a full board), for a standard case; - Chipset B550 (there will be no dancing with tambourines with the new Zen3 series and plus you don't have to wait for January-February, like on the B450) plus there is no cooler like on the x570 chipsets; - Normal power supply for the processor (14 phases (6 + 6) + 2, i. E. 6 real + 6 doublers + 2 SoCs). Here, competitors with a smaller number of phases fell off, or whose price for boards is higher. - 60A mosfets from Infinion, massive radiators are installed on top; - Power supply for the processor 8 pin + 4 pin (I bought a 750W block for it); - Memory support up to 5100 MHz (Although I bought a relatively simple G. Skill Trizent NEO 32 Gb 3600 CL16). I must say right away that in stock I went to 3800 MHz, further overclocking gave 4000 MHz; - built-in WI-FI and BT module (Wi-Fi 6 AX200) and normal, and not like on Gigabyte B550 Aorus Pro AC (Wireless-AC 3168), so Gigabite was dropped. - There is a Type C connector on the front panel of the case (I have it on the case). - Support for PCIe-4.0 for video card and SSD; (And there are still PCIe3.0 slots for a video card or video capture card and SSD. - Two heatsinks on NVMe SSD; - A lot of connectors for coolers (6x), various USB, LED strips (which is not found in all versions of other motherboards). - Visually looks very cool, carbon inserts complete the look. - I measured the temperatures after installing the Ryzen 5600X processor (4.65 MHz in boost mode, later overclocked to 5 MHz) and other components during the stress test: the temperature on the processor is up to 64 C, the motherboard and chipset are not higher than 34 C, which is very commendable, low bow to the developers of the board.
Cons
  • What are the cons: - There is no screen for post codes, or a second BIOS chip, but it is conveniently flashed. - According to reviews, a simple sound (Realtek ALC1200), but I think it will do for me. - I did not appear in 2022 for a long time.

Powerful and Reliable

Bought this board for my gaming desktop. I got a recommendation from a YouTuber I follow. It's very hard to buy all the products for new gaming pc parts these days, I had to wait a bit to get the 5900x and the RTX3080. This board received excellent performance. It supports up to 200A when I use the PBO setting. Which is pretty good for B550 boards. Both M.2 cooling pads are very robust and work great. The circuit board looks pretty dark. The LED is simple and pleasant. I am happy with my…

Two boards ordered - both dead on arrival

This is a great MOBO when it works. I ordered this board for my PC and when it arrived I found that one of the SSD slots was defective. Sent back and replaced - the second board would not turn on. I'm not sure if Revain gets a lot of defective second hand boards or if the problem lies in poor packaging and shipping, but if two of the two boards are dead on arrival you know something is wrong. Reordered from a reputable PC components seller and had no problems. Buyer Warning!

  • Quality construction

Versatile and durable motherboard!

I bought this to set up my PC for a heavy load and it works well. Here is my system specification. Carbon WiFiSSD: SD M.2 2TBVGA: 750TiPower: Seasonic 850W Well it works great as expected. It's pretty easy to set up CPU/RAM overclocking in my M/B's BIOS and it works great! I tested several validation tools and it passed every validation. I recommend this board because it's fairly easy to set up, has a lot of features, and is robust enough to handle heavy overclocking.

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Not sure

Good board, update the bios asap

got corrupted This board came with a BIOS that didn't work with XMP on a RAM kit that I knew worked at rated speeds worked. A friend received the same board with the same BIOS version and the same problem. If the BIOS version ends in .130, DO NOT try XMP. Updating the BIOS to version .150 solved all the problems. I think other MSi B550 and X570 boards have the same problem with this BIOS version. Anyway, for the rest of the review. Good feature set, I wanted a good looking board with a decent…

B550 Carbon with Ryzen 5600x

Built a new PC with Ryzen 5600x with MSI B550 Carbon WIFI.1. BIOS update required to run next-gen Ryzen for 5600x.2 processors. The flash BIOS worked great with a single button press with the USB connected. This is one of the best features because the BIOS flash works even without the CPU or RAM connected. However, some USBs do not work and I had to try 23 USBs with 2.03. The pre-installed I/O shield saves time and reduces workload. It also protects fragile ports like USB when you install the…

Super good board for the price

Upgrade from MSI Gaming Plus X370. Bought for a Ryzen 7 5800x, installed the latest BIOS on USB but when I booted up I didn't even need to update the BIOS, it was already installed out of the box! I specifically chose it for the excellent VRM cooling and performance phases. Many boards in this price range only make direct contact with the VRM, NOT the power phases. It comes with heatsinks for BOTH m.2 slots. RGB is cool, but my computer is in another room where I'm not using it, so I don't…

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Some small things

Has everything I need and more.

Loaded with no problems on the first try. Supports my Crucial Ballistix 3600 C16 and my Ryzen 5 5600x out of the box. The CPU is very hot and the VRM heatsinks on this board also tend to get hot so make sure you have good airflow and cooling solutions. There are many features in the BIOS that I have never used, especially overclocking. I have ReBAR decoding and over 4G but my RX 5600XT doesn't support ReBAR, that's it. Oh well. WiFi is very stable. Didn't play it but streamed Netflix for hours…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • No insurance

After reading the reviews, the motherboard sounded like a good choice.

Switching from Intel X99-aii board to this motherboard. I say goodbye to Intel and use the new Ryzen 7 5800x. Everything looked great out of the box. I use water to cool my computer, so I added an EK block for the CPU as well as my graphics cards. I was disappointed with the number of USB ports available on the board, having to choose what to plug in at what time now versus my old mobo which had everything plugged in and still had room for more. Another thing is that when I fill up all the USB…
