    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.

    Nice budget gaming motherboard. I purchased this after my son's motherboard died. Installation was simple and it booted right up off his ssd. I installed all the necessary drivers and he was back up and gaming.

    Nice B550 Motherboard

    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.

    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.

    It’s been over a year since I got this and the motherboard has held up its end of the bargain. Product works great and smoothly. I plan to upgrade the other components for better and smoother gaming experience. I have not doubt it’ll hold up it’s end. I really like the fact that it has a lot of available features for anyone who wants to add additional things such as fans, RAM, two storage slots, Bluetooth/WiFi cards, and more!

    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...

    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.

    I bought a MB online at a different website it arrived DOA. I was building the pc for a gift and I needed it done that weekend. So I went to Bestbuy and bought this motherboard as lasy minute. The motherboard worked right away and I was amaze by everything that it offered. Worth the $$

    Great board for the money, if you go with a 5000 series cpu you may need to do a bios flash which is easy on these boards. Recommend checking manufacture date before installing this into a build. Also, use a test bench and install all components before assembling into a case that way if something is faulty it’s easier to replace.

    This motherboard so far has been amazing. Its quality is top tier, bios is very simple, and with my 5800x it has given me amazing performance. Only negative thing Ive experienced was installing bios onto the motherboard but even that has hundreds of tutorials on YouTube. Overall amazing board.
