The MSI MAG B550 as a normal ATX board with currently 160 Euro is not a real cheap one and I will therefore put the focus of the review on the teardown, the voltage converters including cooling, the audio chip including output power at different impedances and the M.2 performance. I’d rather leave the unpacking and touching to the unboxers.

For those contemplating a move to AMD and their increasingly popular Ryzen family of desktop processors, the B550 chipset is an interesting route to take. Users can still take full advantage of PCIe 4.0 for the NVMe storage and GPU configuration without having to spend the extra cash that a motherboard bearing the X570 chipset demands.

GIGABYTE’s B550 AORUS PRO is here, it’s affordable and it goes like the clappers. Armed with 2.5G Lan, dual M.2 sockets, a 12+2 phase PWM and the ability to overclock memory well past the 5,200MT/s range, the board is a mini performance wonder. The B550 AORUS Pro is the fastest AM4 board I’ve tested to date. For DRAM oc and general performance, few if any are faster then the B550 AORUS PRO.

The layout of the Strix B550 ITX will be familiar to anyone who has spent any time at all investigating modern ITX motherboards or even just looked at the B550 reviews we did. With the necessity of an M.2 slot the layout of ITX PCBs has almost reached a manufacturer-wide conclusion on the best way to lay them out.

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.

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 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.
