This is my second MSI motherboard. The first was a B450 for another machine. I like the features, specifically 2 M.2 slots for adding more NVME storage. It has lots of USB and audio connectivity. It would be nice if it had WiFi and bluetooth at this price point.
This MB has a nice black aesthetic. It has RGB lights, but they are quite faint.
The MSI bios is fairly ease to use.

It had the IO that I needed along with it being easy to use.
Although It has no distinct color, the black is a good neutral ground for any build.
My only complaint is the lack of a full manual for this motherboard, but I've been building for years, so it wasn't a complete dealbreaker.

I’ve always used MSI for motherboards. Bought a 3080 12gb from Asus and decided to swap to an Asus motherboard. It wouldn’t boot. Swapped to this and it’s been flawless. Install was standard but bios updates were super easy. Plenty of features for the price!

This is my go-to 550 board when building an AMD PC. It is well-built, reliable, simple to use, and has conveniently-placed inputs. It isn’t going to give you the “wow” factor that some higher-end boards might give, but that’s why they are higher-end boards. I’d absolutely recommend this for a beginner-intermediate build. You really cannot go wrong, especially with the nice price tag.

The MSI-B550 Gaming Plus motherboard was exactly what I was looking for in a new motherboard. Built-in I/O shield is a plus, The board is attractive with controllable RGB in the BIOS. The B550 chipset many X570 chipset features (PCIe Gen 4) without the chipset fan at a much lower cost. The MSI BIOS is easy to use especially the XMP presets for RAM. All that and it was one sale at the time of purchase.

Got this MB for my 3600x cpu and it worked great right out the box! Also leaves room to upgrade in the future... Also has options to view fan speeds, cpu temp ect... Works great with my 6600xt GPU and my 32gb of ram... It doesn't have wifi but I don't need it with my setup...

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.

I have so many motherboards I had to think for a moment where this one ended up. It is in my NAS file server. I have Plex and LLM running on it. Yes, it is an AI server.

prettyy good board with decent VRMS, heatsink as well for youre m..2 and it was easier to install in my case than my previous x570, it also read 3200mhz out of box on my memory , my x570 took some tweaking in that area, snug fit on the IO shield unlike my x570 ( again i know) where it took a bit of fidgeting to get it to snap on my case, black sleek stealth look with low light rgb.

Great product so far, bought because my rog strix b550 bite the dust. Its great because it was a cheaper easy fix till i move up to the amd5, this board made it a easy choice on which manufacturer im choosing for the upgrade
