The B550 Taichi is a stout board offering and is essentially an X570 Taichi but without the need for a chipset cooling fan and also sans Thunderbolt header. The price point is a strange one as the X570 Taichi is virtually the same price, but the B550 chipset does not have PCIe 4 lanes, which means you are limited to one PCIe 4 M.2.

Today we will be presenting the Gigabyte AMD B550 AORUS Pro from Gigabyte! The B550 chipset will have some limitations compared to X570 but will provide a budget friendly option for the Ryzen 3000 CPU’s. And still provide all the great speed we are looking for! For some time now Gigabyte has been the choice, for me personally, when I buy my Motherboards.

The ASRock B550 Phantom Gaming-ITX/AX delivers strong out of the box performance in multi-threaded tests. Whilst this is a clear positive, the performance results are clearly skewed by the aggressive stock voltages and erroneous sensor readings that likely drive the PB2 algorithm to higher CPU frequencies.

The last feature that we want to put in neon and highlight for you all is the commitment Gigabyte have placed upon bringing the best possible power delivery to their X570 Aorus Xtreme. With an 8 layer PCB covered in double thickness copper and a worlds first 16 phase power – without the use of doublers – the Aorus Xtreme definitely lives up to its name.

With only two M.2 slots but eight I/O-panel USB3 Gen2 and eight SATA ports, the Asus ROG Strix X570-E Gaming is more of a power-user board than a gamer. But compared to competing models, its lower price and robust feature set makes it easy to recommend among early X570 offerings.

One of those motherboards which we will be reviewing, is the B550M Steel Legend. It comes in a micro ATX form factor and supports all of the latest AMD processors, including the Matisse refresh. So with that said, I’m sure that the B550M Steel Legend is already an interesting option for gamers and performance users alike.

The exterior package is striking and aesthetically pleasing. However, the way this board is packed inside the box isn’t like anything I’ve seen. It’s been a very long time since I reviewed an ASRock motherboard, so perhaps this is more normal for this brand. It isn’t for any others I’ve seen.

The usual battleground for a good solid motherboard is in the $200 range, which should enable something with the standard features but a bit of quality thrown in as well. For $210 with Wi-Fi 6 or $190 without, the ASUS ROG Strix B550-F Gaming straddles that popular price point. Today we’re reviewing what the B550-F Gaming has to offer.

ASRock has done the unexpected with the B550 TAICHI and produced a better motherboard, from a technically inferior chipset. Not only is this an objectively more capable motherboard than the X570 TAICHI, it does so at a price few if any others can match. For whatever reason, when it comes to bang for buck, ASRock is putting out strong offerings at every turn, and the B550 TAICHI is one such example.

MSI has released the usual lineup of motherboards under several names including Pro, Tomahawk, Bazooka, Gaming, and the Mortar. While the actual name doesn’t have any bearing on the B550 chipset, the additional features each model provides is what is important. For those who favor only a system for gaming might consider the aptly named “Gaming” motherboards.
