    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.

    MSI had the best bios of any motherboard in the game. If you are on a tight budget you can not go wrong with this board. It performs as good if not better than the so called high end B550 boards and even some X570.

    Great motherboard for AM4 chips for a good price. Comes with a built in heat sink for a NVME drive too. The little RGB light is also a nice bonus.

    Great looking motherboard with plenty of features and headers. Be aware it does not have WiFi or Bluetooth. RGB lighting is only around the chipset but I think it looks really good. Part of my reason for purchasing this board is that it is great value for the VRM's you are getting, according to LTT Tier list.

    I decided to build by first PC! I was nervous that I get the wrong motherboard. But it was very easy to get everything installed on it. The software it comes with controls all my RGB lights. Only downside is no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

    Solid Motherboard

    The MSI B550 Gaming Plus is a solid motherboard. I’ve used it in my first gaming PC build and it’s worked great so far. The mystic Lighting works pretty nicely and connecting the power and fan cables were made simple with the manual. Having 2 M.2 slots was nice for me because I don’t want to have the larger ssd drives taking up space in my system unnecessarily. The bios is very simple to work. I successfully overclocked my cpu on the first try, then underclocked it a bit because it was a bit toasty. I also like that there’s an RGB header as well as 2 Addressable RGB headers for plenty of color in the system. I haven’t utilized the JRainbow headers yet, but I certainly plan to. Overall, a decent choice for a mid range gaming pc.
