Review: Best AM4 board for the money - Best motherboard I've ever had. Works very well, no issues and booted first try. At a time when PC hardware is expensive and hard to find, the AM4 set up is the best option for gaming and this motherboard will definitely buy some time until the next upgrade. Its VRMs will handle the best of the AM4 CPUs and have more than enough cooling to handle overclocking due to having over kill heatsinks. Great optical audio out for it being built in. Decent USB ports though it could use a couple more. Operating with a liquid cooled Ryzen 7 5800x, MSI RTX 3070, 32GB DDR4 3200 RAM, Samsung NVMe 980 M.2 SSD. CPU overclocked hitting 4.82Ghz, GPU overclocked, RAM overclocked to 3600. In a case with proper fan placement it never runs hot and runs most everything at high to ultra settings at 120+ FPS. I intentionally have my FPS capped at 120 (118) for cooling purposes and to not stress my gpu so that it lives longer but it hit 244 FPS when uncapped (on a 244Hz monitor). Review: Rock-solid motherboard for Ryzen. Fast, stable, and easy to work with - I’m using MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK with my Ryzen 7 5800XT, and it’s been absolutely flawless. It booted up right away with no issues, the BIOS is clean and easy to navigate, and all components like RAM, SSDs, GPU, and AIO cooler worked perfectly from day one. The VRM temperatures stay cool even under load, and the board handles overclocking without any instability. I’m running 32GB DDR4 3200 MHz memory, dual NVMe drives, and a Radeon RX 5700 XT. Everything runs smooth and stable. It has plenty of USB ports, strong build quality, and a great layout for cable management. The RGB lighting is subtle but adds a nice touch to the setup. Overall, one of the best-value B550 motherboards you can buy. It performs like a high-end X570 while staying affordable and reliable. ## Features - Support for 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen processors and future AMD Ryzen processors with BIOS update.Audio ports (Rear): 5plus Optical S/PDIF (Realtek ALC1200 / ALC1220P Codec) - Supports dual channel DDR4 memory up to 128 GB (4866 MHz) - On-board dual LAN: 2.5G LAN plus Gigabit LAN - Mystic Light: RGB LED lighting and extendable pin headers – 16.8 million colors / 29 effects - Audio Boost rewards your ears with studio grade sound quality for immersive gaming experiences - Premium Thermal Solution: Aluminum Cover with additional choke thermal pad rated for 7W/mk and PCB with 2 ounce thickened copper - Lightning Fast Game Experience: PCIe 4.0, Lightning Gen 4 M.2 with M.2 Shield Frozr, AMD Turbo USB 3.2 GEN 2 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B089CWDHFZ | | Best Sellers Rank | #54 in Computer Motherboards | | Brand | msi | | CPU Model | AMD A4 | | CPU Socket | Socket AM4 | | Chipset Type | AMD B550 | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer | | Compatible Processors | AM4 | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 6,198 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04719072728625 | | Graphics Card Interface | PCI Express | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 9.6"L x 1.5"W x 12"H | | Item Weight | 3 Pounds | | Main Power Connector Type | 24-Pin | | Manufacturer | MSI | | Memory Clock Speed | 5100 MHz | | Memory Slots Available | 4 | | Memory Storage Capacity | 128 GB | | Mfr Part Number | MAG B550 TOMAHAWK | | Model Name | MAG B550 TOMAHAWK | | Model Number | MAG B550 TOMAHAWK | | Number of Ethernet Ports | 2 | | Number of Ports | 13 | | Platform | Windows 11 | | Processor Socket | Socket AM4 | | RAM Memory Technology | DDR4 | | Ram Memory Maximum Size | 128 GB | | S/PDIF Connector Type | Optical | | System Bus Standard Supported | SATA 3 | | Total Number of HDMI Ports | 1 | | Total PCIe Ports | 4 | | Total SATA Ports | 6 | | Total Usb Ports | 9 | | UPC | 824142217627 | | USB 2.0 | 6 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 3 Years | ## Product Details - **Brand:** msi - **CPU Model:** AMD A4 - **CPU Socket:** Socket AM4 - **Chipset Type:** AMD B550 - **Compatible Devices:** Personal Computer - **Compatible Processors:** AM4 - **Memory Clock Speed:** 5100 MHz - **Model Name:** MAG B550 TOMAHAWK - **Platform:** Windows 11 - **RAM Memory Technology:** DDR4 ## Images ![MAG B550 TOMAHAWK - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71qy+HEM9NL.jpg) ![MAG B550 TOMAHAWK - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81KcWU3daPL.jpg) ![MAG B550 TOMAHAWK - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71fZ8zDFGbL.jpg) ![MAG B550 TOMAHAWK - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71YS6XRbyhL.jpg) ![MAG B550 TOMAHAWK - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/615CGvq3XEL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How do you get WiFi to this motherboard** A: Buy a WiFi PCIe Card! You can buy a wifi 6 card for between twenty and forty bucks and they take minutes to fit. If you don't need an ultra-fast and capable wifi connection you can also buy a wifi dongle that plugs into a spare USB port (preferably a USB 3.0 port) however I'd strongly recommend a PCIe plug-in card. **Q: Will this support Ryzen 7 3700x out of the box?** A: Yes it does finished my build with it yesterday **Q: Can it support mvme ssd?** A: It has support for two NVMe devices although only the first supports PCIe 4. The second supports PCIe 3. I use both slots with each having a capacity of 1tb. Either slot can support both PCIe 3 and 4 devices but you only get the fastest performance matching a PCIe 4 drive to the first slot. The X570 motherboard offers 2 slots and both are PCIe 4 capable. **Q: Does this mobo fit a musetex phantom atx mid tower case?** A: That depends on whether the Phantom ATX mid tower case can accommodate a motherboard with the dimensions 12 in. x 9.6 in. (30.5 cm x 24.4 cm). ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best AM4 board for the money *by A***R on March 14, 2026* Best motherboard I've ever had. Works very well, no issues and booted first try.

It performs like a high-end X570 while staying affordable and reliable. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful replacement for my quirky previous board. *by A***R on December 3, 2024* I bought this as a replacement for an ASRock X570 Steel Legend that I've had since they first launched back in the summer of 2019. As, it was gradually showing more signs of failure over the time that I had it in my system. First, the onboard audio stopped working. Which, I just switched over to using the audio interface that I had for recording. So, that didn't bother me TOO much. I also was noticing that games were starting to have more and more issues with micro-stutter. I did some tinkering and got it behaving a little better. But, that never fully went away. The final thing that prompted me to look for a replacement was I started having really bad lag issues while playing online games. Yes, legitimate lag. Not the "I missed my shot, the stupid server must be lagging!" type of lag. As, I'm very well aware of and openly recognize how bad I am at competitive games. This is "friend and I are in a car together, friend awkwardly crashes car into a building, I wonder why they did that, then the game suddenly snaps to us being on a completely different street and still moving" level of lag. Quite a frequent occurrence, at that. I tried a list troubleshooting steps. Driver updates for everything, lowering the games' settings, reinstalling the games, cleaning the operating system, reinstalling the operating system, adjusting settings and also resetting the router back to factory defaults, port forwarding, pestering the cable company about connection issues, different ethernet cables, etc. I figured seeing as the motherboard was already having other issues, perhaps it was drying out even further. So, I decided to start looking for replacement options. Which, being that the 7000 series processors had been out for a while, I knew that my options would be slimmer than before. At least for a NEW board. Also, pricing may not be ideal. But, reading a bunch of reviews and doing comparisons, this particular board sounded like it would be a solid choice without having to spend a lot more for the available higher end boards. I had mixed feelings about "stepping down" a notch to the B550 chipset. But, upon further consideration and reading, the performance difference was minimal. Plus, I didn't use enough of the extra features that X570 had over B550 to really be concerned about that. So, I went ahead and grabbed it. Yeah, it was a great decision to grab this board! Though there are still occasional lag quirks (which, is to be expected, honestly), there was a HUGE improvement in connection stability with games. Plus, games and the system overall feel notably smoother than before. Far less micro-stutter and things just feel more responsive, as a whole. Oh, and I have onboard sound back. Which, is cool too! But, yeah, I am VERY happy with this board! Everything about it seems to work great! And, I can't think of any major complaints. Maybe that the UEFI menu feels a little messy to navigate. But, that could just be a familiarity thing. Also, I don't use any of the "software suite" stuff that often comes with motherboards. That's just unnecessary bloat, to me. So, I can't comment on any of that stuff. I was worried that I was getting a step down from my previous board. But, that was not at all the case. A very solid choice for anyone that plays demanding games, does content creation, and/or software/game development. ## Frequently Bought Together - MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK Gaming Motherboard (AMD AM4, DDR4, PCIe 4.0, SATA 6Gb/s, M.2, USB 3.2 Gen 2, HDMI/DP, ATX, AMD Ryzen 5000 Series processors) - AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-core, 16-thread unlocked desktop processor - ARCTIC MX-4 (4 g) - Premium Performance Thermal Paste for All Processors (CPU, GPU - PC), Very high Thermal Conductivity, Long Durability, Safe Application, Non-Conductive --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/209565434-mag-b550-tomahawk](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/209565434-mag-b550-tomahawk) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
