    Very slow POSTing. Does not support dual M.2s and Dual GPUs at the same time. Don't waste your time.

    Can’t use it bought the wrong CPU no graphics. You can’t find a graphics card to run this. This board has no graphics onboard. So it’s just sitting.

    I bought this motherboard in order to upgrade from my aging i5-2500k, This motherboard is very reliable and packed with features. The fact that you're able to find such a great product at this price....well. It's a steal to be quite honest. If you need a B550, get this one

    Great Motherboard for AMD Ryzen CPU's

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought this motherboard out of necessity. I had ordered a Asrock motherboard on Ebay, but it turned out it wasn't compatible with my new AMD Ryzen 5 5600G CPU. I am not a computer expert, but I have always good things about the MSI brand. So when I saw this motherboard on the Best Buy website, AND that is was in stock, I bought it ASAP!! I like the styling, the sturdy construction, the great back panel, and the day I bought it, Best Buy had it as a Black Friday special with a $35 discount!! I've had it for about two months now, and I really like it. What is really nice is that MSI provides great support. Their software provides great integration for tweaking the controls, and even has a sound control app. When I checked for a BIOS update, it was quick and easy through the MSI control panel. I'm sure I will be happy in the long run.

    Good value motherboard. Only complaint is that it doesn't have Wifi or Bluetooth but you can just buy a dongle for that.

    While we were in the store we were very happy to have an employee who has used and could give us real information in relation to the different b550 they had. My son is very happy with the performance in his new computer build.

    Amazing MoBo but one issue.

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Love this motherboard. Bought this in 2020 of December when I was building my PC. It is now January of 2023 and I've been experiencing an issue for about 8 months now where my keyboard and mouse would randomly disconnect. Any device that was plugged in via USB would disconnect at the most random times.
