MSI MPG B550 Gaming Plus AMD AM4 DDR4 m.2 USB 3.2 Gen 2 HDMI ATX Motherboard AMD Ryzen 5000 Series Desktop Processors

A great upgrade from my old motherboard, Good number of ports and the performance is great. Updating bios was easy.

I use a case that features 6 fan slots without counting the 2/3 that can be added via CPU radiator. This board features so many fan headers that I was amazed to find out I don't need to use any fan hubs. The board came with a front USB C connector that, 2 M.2 ports, ARGB and RGB both types of led headers and plenty of SATA and USB connectors as well.The board comes with an old bios equipped, however, the bios can be updated to a newer version; without requiring any CPU to be installed, with just a 4gb or 8gb thumb drive.Overall, I highly recommend this board as it is relatively low priced for the features it offers and has a slightly counterintuitive, however easy to get used to BIOS.

Good

Value for money if you buy 13.4kSize :- ATX , make sure to have bigger case.No inbuilt wifiThermal quality is good

Quality product with lots of bells and whistles. The flash bios feature works like a charm. There are more fan, sata, usb, RGB etc. connectors then one would possibly need/require. Just have to make sure that the pc cabinet is from a reputed brand and is large enough to install this motherboard as it is a ATX board and not micro-atx. Having said that, the sata ports are placed in an awkward position and its a real pain in the backside to connect those. Overall if one is looking out for a board with future upgradibility then this is the one...

I purchased the MSI B550 motherboard expecting reliability and good customer support. Unfortunately, my experience has been the opposite. The motherboard developed issues while still under warranty, and despite following all the required steps, MSI refused to provide a replacement.Their support team was unhelpful and dismissive, offering no real solution. It's extremely frustrating when a product fails within the warranty period and the company fails to honor their own policies.This has completely ruined my trust in MSI. I strongly advise others to avoid MSI products. It's not worth the risk if the company won't stand behind what they sell.Verdict: Never buying MSI again

NOTE: You need to have the latest bios on a pendrive for this motherboard to bootup.. or else you'll be stuck in the boot menu. There are many tutorial out there on how to flash bios on a motherboard so check them all out once...Overall it's a allrounder best cheap b550 motherboard, it's a must buy if you want a ATX motherboard with good temps at under 16k tho I paid 17k for this but it is worth it..

The product comes with 4 LEDs which start when the device gets power and shows what is status of the device and if it is stuck in any of those checks which are helpful in debugging the issues when you are booting the device, especially for the first time.Those LEDs helped in debugging mine, so thanks to MSI for including them and providing proper instructions as well for it.
