    Good product! I love it more then my b450 max. If you go from a 450 to 550 just not the version of Windows you had installed on your hard drive will NOT boot on the 550, make sure to have a fresh hard drive set aside to reinstall Windows. Other then that this is an amazing board no problems. Running a ryzen 5 3600, RX 5700, with 32 gigs (4x8gig) of 3600 MHz ram cl 15

    I bought this to make a computer for myself from scratch with the help of my son. The end computer is excellent. It was easy to mount and install and there have been no issues whatsoever with this motherboard.

    First mobo I’ve ever worked with. The directions are very user friendly and the motherboard itself is extremely easy to install. There are plenty of 4 pin fan ports and several 3 pin led light ports. The leds on the motherboard itself are stunning and very easy to control and change.

    My first MSI motherboard

    I've been an ASUS motherboard fan for the past 20+ years. However, with their steady decline in both quality and customer service over the past several years (not to mention the exploding 7800X3D debacle), I decided to try a different brand when it came time to build another system. I went with the B550 because of the good reviews, and also it had everything I needed and the price was acceptable. I didn't need the latest and greatest since I'm just pairing it with an older AM4 chip. So far it's been rock stable and I've had no major problems other than some odd behavior when it scanned the DRAM the first few boot-ups. It would take a long time to boot until I enabled the XMP memory profile in BIOS. Now everything runs great.

    DISCLAIMER: I am a current Geek Squad Agent. Two M.2s, dedicated JRGB, tons of USBs, room to add more via connectors, six SATA ports, at least five 4-pin case fan headers (might be a sixth). And a fully featured BIOS. Would recommend.

    Motherboard has everything I need. All parts worked fine with motherboard. RGB looks Great. Motherboard Home Screen has everything you need to validate inventory and setup bootstrap config. The only thing that bothered me was when I was building the PC the mouse was slow from motherboard bios screen before I got the OS installed.

    This is a solid motherboard. The wiring instructions were akin to IKEA furniture assembly instructions though. My biggest complaint is that the MB doesn’t have onboard WiFi or Bluetooth. It was my oversight, but I won’t cry too much. USB adaptors for both are inexpensive and readily available. There is also only a single SSD slot.

    Very Nice MBD.

    Purchased this as a replacement for another system that I let the smoke out of. Very impressed with the quality. I did have to do a significant amount of research first as this board incorporates a lot of new technology. My advice to anyone doing a new installation is to start with a barebones install until you get the OS installed. then add your peripherals one at a time. This MBD incorporates self-diagnostics at boot, if it senses something that it doesn't like it will lock itself down until the fault is cleared. My new install could conceivably have been complete in an hour, but in a hast and rush trying to do it all at once turned this venture into a 3 hour ordeal. It turned out that one of my add in expansion cards had a fault causing the system not to boot.

    Really needed a motherboard upgrade after years of using an ancient one, and this one does the job. Hopefully can also use this one for years to come

    I've been using this motherboard with a 3700 for about 1.5 years with great success. The drivers provide a lot of overclocking options, but I've only used the auto so far. Things are working well so far with Samsung Pro 270 M.2 and a spinning drive as well as 16GB RAM.
