Product Manuals
Q: does this support wireless wifi and what antenna would you need for this motherboard.
A: Yes, it supports WIFI 6. WIFI antenna is included.
Q: Is this motherboard compatible with AMD Ryzen™ 7 5700G?
A: Yes, the B550 Gaming Carbon WiFi is compatible with AMD Ryzen 7 5700G after a bios update.
Q: Does this motherboard also come with bluetooth. Sorry I'm kind of a beginner at this.
A: Yes, it does have Bluetooth functionality. I have Bluetooth speakers connected to mine and it also works for controllers and many other devices.
Q: Will this work with a Ryzen 7 3800X?
A: The B550 Gaming Carbon Wifi will be compatible with the Ryzen 7 3800X.
Q: Is the additional 4-pin ATX power connector required for standard usage?
A: Depends on what cpu, gpu, and cooling system you plan on using. It works great with Radeon 5700XT, R7 3700x and the standard wraith air cooler
Q: Will this work with a Ryzen 5 5600x out of the box?
A: No. To recognize a 5000 series Ryzen GPU (for now), you have to update the BIOS first. Seems to be the case for ALL Ryzen 5k compatible MoBos though. This CAN be done on this model without the CPU, RAM or any drives hooked up. Do a search on this board + FlashBackButton for some good tutorials. I did this before installing the CPU and it worked just great. MSI website also has tutorials - in box docs also cover but less completely . I love this MoBo btw. - very happy.
Q: Will this work with ryzen 3 5800x out of the box? I do not have cpu kit to flash.
A: Yes it will. But only a USB is required to upgrade.
Q: Dosnt say what form factor is this ATX?
A: Correct. It is ATX. Mine just came in last week!
