Q: Does this motherboard have bluetooth?

A: This motherboard does not have bluetooth built in.

Q: Does this motherboard come with an io shield?

A: This motherboard does not come with a separate IO shield. The IO shield is already attached to the motherboard. Rather than the typical separate IO shield that you would first attached to the back of the PC, before mounting the motherboard in the PC case.

Q: does it support ryzen 5 third gen?

A: Yes! This board supports 3rd Gen Ryzen 3, 5, 7, and 9. It will NOT support Ryzen 1XXX Series, 2XXX Series, and the 3200g-3400g.

Q: Is this board ryzen 5000 series ready?

A: Some ship with latest BIOS. Some don't. If your box says it's GEN3 ready, then yes. If not, then a USB BIOS update can be done easily for GEN3 support.

Q: Will this support future amd processors and the new rtx 30 series?

A: Yes

Q: Is it possible to remove the IO shield?

A: You can remove the I.O shield, but it is not recommended as it may damage the board when you do so.

Q: will this work with my i5-13400?

A: This is a AMD motherboard A4 stocket

Q: Does this motherboard support the RTX 4000 series graphic cards?

A: Yes, the B550 Tomahawk is compatible with RTX 4000 series graphics cards.
