Fantastic piece of equipment. The board layout and RGB are phenomenal. |
The on-board WiFi Chip has support for very high internet speeds.
I am about 150 ft away from my router on the second floor and I can get anywhere from 200 mbps up and down to 300 mbps (gigabit fios speed); so taking into account the distance the speeds are great.
My first ever PC build included this motherboard and it was a breeze to set everything up. The M-Flash came feature came in very handy because it allowed me to flash my bios to use the newer AMD Zen3 architecture chips such as the 5600X which is currently what I am using.

For a first build this MB ain’t too bad. My fans DC once in a while so a reset gets ‘em back spinning. Rear RGB fan turns off sometimes but that could be the software. As for gaming it’s been solid in performance!

This was my first build, so I opted to get a MOBO at a great value, a few extra features, and future proof. This was right up my alley, and ended up getting a good deal on it during Cyber week. Comes with WIFI which is nice, a bit of RGB (which is somewhat left to be desired) and was super easy to install everything. So far I haven't had any issues with the bios or Dragon Center software. If you're looking for a B550 MOBO, consider this one!

I'm really happy with this motherboard so far. I bought it for my first build and it was pretty easy to build with. It was compatible out of the box (no BIOS update needed) with my Ryzen 5 5600x. Happy with the wifi speeds and Bluetooth. I just ordered a second one for my spouse's computer that's in need of a motherboard upgrade.

Great for my Ryzen 7 5800x, works fine and installing bios is easygoing. One major flaw is the price. It should be worth 150$ not 200$ in my opinion. Also the LED lights are below average. They are very basic and I personally don’t think they look good.

I am doing a new PC build this holiday season and this motherboard was a very close pick alongside the B550 Tomahawk. I decided to choose this board because it has WiFi. I also was looking for a board with good overclocking capabilities and thermal performance and this board does a great job. Overall, I am very happy with this board

Great B550! Might be better than cheaper X570 boards as this has wifi 6 and 2.5Gbps LAN. Box said works with Ryzen 5000 series and my 5600x worked w/o bios update.

I bought this for my 3rd gen Ryzen cpu. It was all fine until I started noticing my temps on my cpu and board running high. I couldn't figure out why since I had more than enough cooling and airflow. Turns out, the b550 chipset just doesnt do a good job with 3rd gen chips. Really, for the price difference, the b550 is simply not worth it. If you're convinced you do want the b550 though, this board will perform as good as any other b550.

First time builder here. The user manual for this motherboard was incredibly helpful for my first ever build. Everything works like a charm. Had to do the bios update for my Ryzen 5 5600X with a flash drive after the build was complete rather than using the bios update button but that was smooth as well.

I bought this product due to the internet card that was with it. It provides antennas for wireless access to the internet and is great quality. The amount of ports available is also more than enough.
