I do not cease to rejoice at the purchase, a very good deal!

Excellent board without lgbt backlight. The focus is on performance and cooling, even with a die-cast metal shroud covering the connectors. In short, a board with a margin of at least 5 years, and there we will already wait for ddr5 Pros below: Very cool cooling on power circuits. Built-in WiFi and bluetooth. Ability to overclock RAM and processors. The number of temperature sensors on the board. Pisya 4th generation. Different cons: Inconvenient bios (subjectively) Not the best audio codec…

Perfect product for any user!

Has pros: excellent cooling, presence of a USB-C connector on the front panel of the case, convenient location of PCI slots Has some cons poor backlight control, when compared with motherboards from ASUS, the backlight on the RAM from Crucial on this MP also works very crookedly / buggy - keep this in mind

Worst product for the money, wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Tried different versions of the BIOS and different versions of windows, did not solve the problem. I bought another motherboard - ASUS ROG STRIX B550-A GAMING, I don’t know grief.

Pros
  • Failed to rate
Cons
  • Contrary to the manufacturer's statement about support for Ryzen 4650G processors, after installing windows 10, when installing drivers, the system crashes into a blue screen and shows it every time it starts.

I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

* Despite the fact that MOSFETs do not get hotter than 50C, the heatsink above them is hot - without a blowing fan on the back wall, it will be hot in the case. * Let's assume that you switched the BIOS to CSM mode, saved the settings to USB, and then you had to reset the BIOS settings. In order to restore them, you need to first switch the BIOS from UEFI mode to CSM, apply the settings and restart the PC. Only then will you be able to restore BIOS settings from USB. And yes, it is not…

Pros
  • * Works with Ryzen 2700. * Installed rear panel, which greatly simplifies installation in small awkward cases. * MOSFETs with temperature sensors. * Saving BIOS settings to a USB drive. *Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 for an additional $100, 2x2 antennas and MU-MIMO support. On the AC network, it shows a speed of 866 Mbps.
Cons
  • * Inconvenient BIOS settings clear switch, which is blocked even by a dual-slot video card. * Automatic reset of RAM settings at incorrect frequencies and timings does not always work - you have to clear the BIOS settings. * There are errors in the instructions. For example, resetting the BIOS settings using the JBAT1 jumper does not work when the PSU power cable is removed, as written in the instructions. In fact, you need to turn off the PSU (do not remove the power wire) and close JBAT1. *In earlier versions of the BIOS, minor bugs occur (for example, switches not working properly, Wake On USB events not working). ate the BIOS to the latest versions - most of the errors have been fixed in them. * After ating the BIOS, the settings saved on the USB cannot be applied. * No remote WiFi antenna. If the case is removed under the table, this will noticeably spoil the signal. * One of the fan headers should have been placed in the center of the board for easier access. * M2 slot heatsink without fins at all and only on one side, which reduces its efficiency.

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

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Zero

DO NOT ORDER IF YOU HAVE A RYZEN 5000 PROCESSOR

High quality board no doubt. No frills board b550m. 12V RGB is in an odd place, but it's a legacy platform anyway. That's the problem, this board comes with a Realtek 2.5GB LAN chip. It never works with Ryzen 5000 CPU. There are threads and threads about this problem with Realtek Lan chip for B550 and X570 boards. Yes, the bios has been updated. Yes, all drivers worked and were updated. Basically, you should hope and pray that you hit the right setting that caused the "bug". I tried 3 b550…

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Upgrade available

Countless problems, very frustrating experience.

I have had three versions of this board. I bought the first one because I thought it looked good and matched my color scheme. My problems first appeared when trying to plug in the USB 3.0 cable, the pins were bent (maybe shipping related) and the fact that one of the RAM slots was defective. On the second board I had a problem with very slow boot times, the drive was fine but booted like a hard drive. In the meantime I was trying to mount another drive while getting permission for nvme ssd when

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Negative gift

Good buy on internals

This is a famous MSI B550M Mortar motherboard RTX 3070 BLACK EDITION OC D6 8GB *Because this is not WIFI version I bought an extra WiFi 6 AX3000 PCIe WiFi card from Revain. Install the motherboard in the PC case and plug in the power cables one by one after setting the power supply. After assembling all the processors, memory and video cards, try to run. Luckily it started without any problems and all parts were fully compatible. Some motherboards didn't fit when the RAM went in and there were…

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Nothing

Good mid-budget board

First, what happened to the white stuff on the box? Carton, but the packaging structure inside the white carton material did not hit the material plate. I called Revain to complain and got a discount instead of a return. ** The motherboard itself is good. This is a mid budget ATX b550 microboard that has everything I need. A few things I learned about these boards that you may need. You cannot use all slots. I installed an nvme SSD right above it - so far so good. Slots under a graphics card…

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

Bad board (DRAM problems with two channels) - MUCH HEADACHE

I built a new PC. Mini-ATX form factor in a Fractal Meshify C Mini chassis. Processor: Ryzen 3700x. Everything started out well enough, but serious problems arose on the first boot attempt. This board has good features and looks nice and clean, but I think it's only fair of me to focus on the issues in this review, which in turn have consumed my build experience and outweighed any positives. The most egregious problem: CMOS is under the GPU, so every time you need to reset it you have to remove

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Security
