Customer Ratings & Reviews

Paired this mobo with a Ryzen 5600x and it posted immediately on start up with no necessary BIOS adjustments. It should say clearly on the box that it is 5000 series ready. Has some bells and whistles but all the necessary features I was looking for in a board as well.

Stellar performance meets sleek design. The MSI B550 elevates my PC’s capabilities, offering stable, fast, and reliable gaming experiences. A top-tier choice for gamers!

Compared to my last cpu this makes my computer run like butter.

It's hard to find newer mobos that support pcie 4.0 GPUs and CPUs, especially for AMD AM4 sockets. Even though it's form factor is an ATX I was able to fit it into mid sized corsair tower case that was meant for MATX form factors. Unlike almost all boards there is sufficient room on the board to fit 2 full sized cards with a bit of room in-between, so overheating your computer/MB won't really happen. I also like there are 2 M.2 SSD sockets, one for the newest gen M.2 drives and one for current/prior gen M.2 drives. The RGB LED lights that illuminate the mobo are a nice touch. I've been running a Ryzen 3900, w/ a liquid cooler radiator and 2 MSI 5700xt Mech's, A 500 GB WD Black M.2 Ssd and 2x16 GB of 3200mhz Corsair LED DDR4 RAM. I haven't had a problem once, and the bios is super easy to understand/modify/update to your given preferences... currently using the Mobo to mine Ethereum and Monero, but as soon as I can get an htc vive or some other VR device I will be using this build and mobo strictly for VR

Beautiful motherboard design with tasteful RGBs! Able to overclock the Ryzen 3600 to 4.3ghz with no problems on the stock fan with cool temps. Easy to flash and update bios and simple menu for overclocking parameters with plenty of how to videos on YouTube. Will purchase MSI again no doubt!

Loving this motherboard. No issues at all, quite impressed with it tbh.

Bought this for a DIY PC build and the machine works well so I must assume there's nothing wrong with it. Durability is good and hoping to get longevity out of it. Compatibility with 5th gen Ryzen as well as 3rd along with ability to upgrade RAM to 128GB are pluses.

Board seems to be working fine so far. Lots of space. I am a little bummed that there were no paper manuals in the box since everything was online. That would suck if you didn't have your phone or other computer. I also wished it had a pin extender in the box like other companies. That would help with getting the power pin/reset etc put in the right spots since the writing is so tiny on the board.

it was very easy to install and it looks very sleek as well. worth the purchase if you’re on a budget build.

Such a great deal I couldn’t pass it up! Always check your Best Buy for new items!!! They get something new in all the time and it may be what you’ve been searching for. This MB worked great for my kids pc build!

It’s good motherboard to start on and it’s very easy to put together

Works great no issues at all with the suggested items I bought with it. Only spent about $400 to build a pc minus the gpu and enjoying every minute of it

Great product, bios is very user friendly and makes this a breeze to use. If you dislike other bios (gigabyte) because of its difficulty to manage and flash, msi is definitely the way to go. Makes managing ram, cpu, and all other aspects of the PC a breeze.

Great motherboard, good quality and does everything you need it to

First DIY computer upgrade was this motherboard and a Ryzen 5600X CPU. I'm very happy with both and feel that they are a great value/combo for the money. This MB has various RBG options including a dynamic CPU temp light which is really helpful.

This is the first MSI mobo I have purchased. Has 2 M.2 and 6 sata slots. Very good performance, easily updated from Asus. I am very satisfied with this mobo. Can run Win 11.

Ion got much to but say is insane good i really like it you got it it

I honestly forgot it doesnt come with wifi so just be aware of that.

I got my board and it says it was new, but Im not sure I Recall pulling tape off the anti-static bag when opening the board to inspect it, but board works fine, have tested it, and when I installed Windows 10, it automatically activated from February 2022, I got the board in December 2022. I ran testing on the board and I see no driver issues, installed both M.2 slots and no compatibilty issues I can see. Played COD Mw2 DMZ for hours no crashing. Paired with a Ryzen 5 3600, 16gb corsair 3200mhz ram and a RX6600 and system ran fine. So I guess the windows activation was just a bonus in this use case.

The MSI B550 Gaming Plus is an excellent choice for a mid to high tier enthusiast grade motherboard. I've done a modest OC on my Ryzen 5 5600x (which is supported out of the box) and OC my RTX 2070 and I've had no issues before or after the OC's. I also utilize all the features of this motherboard such as all of the PCI Express for add on WIFI and NVMe ports for additional storage. The BIOS has support for XMP profiles which I utilize as well. The on board audio is also good. All around solid choice for anyone looking for a board to cover all the bases!
