    Was very easy to put in, works perfectly with my brand new 5600X. This is no doubt the best Value B550 gaming motherboard you can get for the price. Fantastic board from MSI. Would recommend 1000x.

    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.

    I had bought a prebuilt a few years back with the intention of eventually upgrading it to my liking. Over time, I was able to get everything upgraded and learn how to mod my PC. This was the final piece and everything seeming works well. I need to get some more RAM and another m.2 drive since it has more slots than my previous mother board but overall, I'm very happy with the purchase.

    Excellent value for money for an AM4 motherboard. I've had it for almost 2 years and it has never failed me. If you're looking for a good mid range AM4 mobo definitely consider this one.

    MSI B550 Gaming Plus Motherboard Review

    The MSI B550 Gaming Plus motherboard strikes a balance between performance and affordability, catering to gamers and PC enthusiasts. With support for AMD's latest Ryzen processors and PCIe Gen 4, it delivers reliable power and faster data transfer. The USB-C Gen 2 port, ample connectivity options, and RGB lighting headers enhance its versatility. While not the most premium option, it offers a user-friendly BIOS, software, and a sleek black design. The VRM design may limit extreme overclocking, and the audio solution could be more advanced. Overall, a solid choice for mid-range gaming builds.

    Great motherboard for the value. Comes out of the box Zen 3 ready. But will need a bios update to support the 5500, 5700X, and 5800X3D cpus.

    Great for gaming… I use it for programming and playing games like cod and seige and it’s great for budget builds and RTX builds. I run around 2 165-240 fps with my ryzen 7 and my 4060 so I would say it’s a great mother board

    I bought this board for my 1500$ pc budget trying to get the max performance with my money. I used a ryzen 7 5800x on this board with 32 gbs of memory. This board is great to work with and has plenty of fan headers and rgb headers. It can support 2 m.2s which makes for a super fast gaming experience. Overall it is definitely worth it and i would buy it again for future builds.

    This is more of an expensice board, but it works well for any build using AM4. Unlike the box states, this board does work on the Ryzen 3 3200G, though you may have issues with XMP. If you dual boot windows and linux, the bios does not play nice with the linux loader.
