MPG B550 GAMING PLUS

Amazing motherboard and works perfectly with no issues. Setup was straightforward and everything worked out of the box. Build quality feels solid, BIOS is easy to use, and it’s been stable with no crashes or problems so far. Great option for a Ryzen build and definitely worth the money.

I’ve been running the MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK since April 2024 in a mid-range gaming and productivity rig, and it's been an excellent experience all around. Setup & BIOS Booted up with a Ryzen 7 5800X and 32GB (2x16) of G.Skill DDR4-3600 without any hiccups. BIOS was easy to navigate, with MSI’s Click BIOS offering a clean layout and decent fan control. Flashing BIOS was painless using the Flashback button — no CPU required, which is a huge bonus if you're planning to future-proof or use an older BIOS chip. MSI also keeps BIOS updates frequent, which is reassuring for long-term support (especially on AM4, even late in its lifecycle). Connectivity & I/O Rear I/O is generous for the price. You're getting: -2.5G LAN (Realtek) — big upgrade over standard gigabit -Plenty of USB ports (including USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A and Type-C) -Optical S/PDIF out — rare at this tier -6x SATA and 2x M.2 slots (top M.2 supports PCIe Gen 4, bottom is Gen 3) It doesn’t include built-in Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, but I knew that going in and added a PCIe Wi-Fi 6 card. Easy enough fix. VRMs, Cooling & Performance One of this board’s standout features is its VRM design — the 10+2+1 phase layout with decent heatsinking keeps things cool even under heavy loads. I’ve done moderate overclocking (PBO and curve optimizer tweaks) and haven’t seen VRM temps go over 65°C, even with sustained multicore loads. Plenty of fan headers and good PWM control in BIOS or via MSI Center (if you use it — not everyone likes it). Audio Comes with Realtek ALC1200 codec. Not “audiophile-grade,” but more than enough for casual gaming and media. I do appreciate the clean signal with no background hiss when using my headphones directly through the rear jack. Build Quality The board feels sturdy — reinforced PCIe slot for your GPU, metal heatsinks with decent mass, and a well-labeled layout. No flex, no cheap-feeling components. M.2 shields are a nice touch too, though they’re not the thickest around Minor Issues -No built-in Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, so factor that in - -

One of the nicest B550 motherboards I've had the pleasure of building systems with, well built, nice layout and is just a really nice board to use as a base for an AM4 system. Performance is top notch, have built with Ryzen 5 5600 and Ryzen 7 5800X CPUs and they've been impeccable in terms of performace vs cost. It's a very understated little board, it's a tank in disguise. My small gaming PC comprising of this board, 32Gb Klevv 3600mhz DDR an AMD Ryzen 5 5600 and nVidia 2060 Super still plays games at an acceptable FPS at 1080 with medium settings and a few performance tweaks to make it acceptable to my needs and eyes ! Can't fault it at all .. especially as it has an ARGB LED setting in the BIOS which can be set to OFF !! Top board, really nothing negative to say about it at all.

I found this board really easy to install - being an ATX board there's plenty of space. It comes with a heat sink to help keep the primary NVME disk (if you have more than one) cool, and it has *loads* of fan connectors distributed around the board (at least 6) so that cable management can be kept under control. It also has RGB headers at the top and bottom of the board which are useful if you're into RGB. I used the BIOS custom fan curves to set up my fan curves, which lets me keep my machine cool & quiet without needing additional software slowing down Windows. Check out YouTube for loads of videos on MSI BIOS - I found it more confusing than old school style BIOS set-up, but having built in overclocking if you want it, is nice, as is the fan control. My one real quibble is that the primary NVME is tucked in between the GPU and CPU, which means if you want to replace it (or as in my case, it dies), you need to remove your GPU and CPU cooler to be able to get to it. The secondary NVME slot is really easy to get to, and it's a shame they're not the other way round. All in all though, I do like it, it's really good value for a B550 board, and happy to recommend. 5 stars - I love it 4 stars - I like it 3 stars - It's ok 2 stars - I don't like it 1 star - I hate it

Easy to navigate bios, well made and pretty heavy as well. Has some RGB at one spot but you can switch it off since some people don't like it anymore. The ports at the back usually have silver shiny metal plate look this is mat black and is and fits well with black case.

Previously sent a MSI B550 Tomahawk motherboard, arrived damaged and failed to boot up. Had that one returned and in the meantime ordered this motherboard as a replacement. Plugged in and powered on- no issues so far. Will monitor and update appropriately.

OK so it's not the best 500 series board out there but the 5 star rating is simply because of value for what's included - two M.2 slots for your NVME drives, Wifi, a USB-C header (check your case has a USB-C port - if not just leave it unplugged), two 3 pin RGB headers, and two 4 pin RGB headers,. Oh and it has 5 fan headers, which would be enough for most people I would think. And while I have only installed low power CPU's like 3600 and 5600 on it, according to Hardware Unboxed it also handles more powerful chips surprisingly well considering how light it looks. Superb board! I should also add that I only installed NVME drives in this board, no SATA SSD's so I can't speak for how well placed the SATA headers are if you had a long graphics card installed, but just from looking at it I'm guessing you would be fine, especially as they are side mounted and not front mounted like a different motherboard I recently worked with, which was a pain

Bonne carte mère. Fait le job Vérifiez bien que le bloc d'alimentation soit un peu surdimensionné pour ne pas avoir de problème lors de la mise en route. Lors de la première mise en route, la carte mère met un temps certain avant d'afficher quoi qu ce soit car elle analyse les composants branchés. Les leds sur le coté de la carte mère indiquent ce que cette dernière contrôle. Ça peut être un peu perturbant quand on a pas l'habitude.

Calidad - Precio

Everything was great..nice install and overall look of board..

ótimo produto recomendo.

Ryzen 5000 serisi işlemci ailesi için alınabilecek en iyi vrm soğutmasına, voltaj kararlılığına, termal verimliliğe ve diğer m.2, sata, rgb, fan/pompa kontrollerinin çeşitliliğine sahip tek anakart. Görsel olarak, fonksiyon olarak, güç olarak B550'ler arasında kesinlikle en iyisi. Kullanmış olduğum 5800x3D gibi güçlü bir oyun işlemcisiyle birlikte BIOS'ta yapılan ayarlarla mükemmel kararlılıkta çalışıyor. BIOS arayüzüde kesinlikle harika. Kısacası eksiği yok fazlası var.
