Gigabyte puts a B550 motherboard on the market with the B550 Vision D, which is rather poaching in the nobler upper house with currently a good 260 euro and is partly almost twice as expensive as the cheapest X570 boards. While I still had stomach aches with the Gigabyte B550 Aorus Master to explain the price in a plausible way, the Gigabyte B550 Vision D is a little different.

Today we are looking at the ASRock Rack X570D4I-2T. This board is somewhat of an X570-based successor to the X470D4U and X470D4U2-2T that we previously covered, though the shift to a mini-ITX form factor throws a curveball into that comparison. Similar to the X470 boards before it, ASRock Rack is making a case for Ryzen as a server processor, boasting higher core counts than Intel’s low-end Xeon chips and the unofficial ECC memory support baked into the desktop Ryzen processors.

Well, the ASRock B550 Phantom Gaming-ITX/ax is the only ITX motherboard that I’ve seen that features two M.2 slots for SSDs. One Hyper M.2 (PCIE 4.0/Gen4) and the other, Ultra M.2 (PCIE 3.0/Gen3). Most mini-ITX motherboards that I’ve come across only come with one M.2 slot.

Outside of its Aqua series of motherboards, which come with exquisitely crafted monoblocks, ASRock’s Taichi brand has been a critical part of the company’s offerings in the land of premium motherboards. The ASRock B550 Taichi sits at the top of its product stack and features an impressive quality feature set.

We check out the more affordable Dual Radeon RX 5700 XT DUAL EVO OC edition. A product that sits on a more mainstream segment compared to the STRIX boards. The product is performing pretty spot on really. Fitted with a thick dual-fan cooling solution we have lots to talk about and check out of course.

The RGB-free MSI B550I Gaming Edge Wi-Fi is a viable option for those looking for a tiny B550-based motherboard. But there are alternatives with similar features, better power delivery and RGB lighting available for around the same price.

Today we are going to evaluate a pair of ASUS GPUs, the TUF Gaming X3 Radeon RX 5700 EVO and RX 5700 XT EVO. The headlining feature intended to separate these cards from other designs is a much beefier cooler. ASUS says these cards have a 44% larger cooler surface area than before, a claim that should show itself in higher clocks, lower GPU temperatures, or both.

The B550 Taichi is not only ASRock’s highest-end B550 option, but it also has the distinction of being the most expensive B550 motherboard available today, with a $299.99 price tag that crosses completely into X570 territory.

The TUF Gaming B550M-Plus (Wi-Fi) comes in a MicroATX form factor (as indicated by the M after the chipset ID). After almost exclusively reviewing ATX and Extended ATX motherboards for the last year, this thing feels extraordinarily small mounted inside my midtower test chassis.

It’s a member of ASRock’s premium Taichi range, and therefore built like the proverbial ceramic outbuilding catering specifically for bowel movements. That includes large slabs of metal topside for everything from the M.2 heat spreaders to the VRM cooling. Several of those components are held down by hex screws, for which ASRock provides a handy driver. And that only adds to the sense of a board built to sustain a bomb blast.
