MSI B550-A PRO Motherboard ATX - Ryzen 3rd Gen, AM4, DDR4, PCIe4, M.2, HDMI

Works perfectly for the time that I have had it. BIOS configuration is incredibly easy and not at all hard to understand. This motherboard also has access to “EZ Debug LEDs” which are great for diagnosing problems during boot. This is probably the best value AM4 motherboard at the moment, and it looks great in all-black builds. I would definitely recommend this motherboard

I wanted a good looking motherboard for my Black and White themed build. I didn't want an X570 as I would have to deal with annoying chipset fans. I then came across this motherboard. It had all the features I wanted. 6 system fan headers, POST Debug LED's, PCIe Gen 4 (only on the the first M.2 and PCIe x16 slots), M.2 heat sink with a Thermal Pad. The VRM's are solid and are easily handling with my Ryzen 7 5800X. Didn't need to update the BIOS using BIOS Flashback as it is April 2021 and all AMD 500 series Motherboards should have the new BIOS update if it was manufactured before the Zen 3 launch (November 2020). I am using a PCIe 4.0 M.2 NVMe SSD and a crystal disk mark run shows that I am getting Gen 4 speeds, even with a PCIe 3.0 GPU. I haven't touched any slot configuration settings. The BIOS also allows you to use voltage control on 3 pin fans. This was really god as the fans that came with my case are only 3 pin (Be Quiet Pure Base 500DX). The only "problem" I had with this board was that the grounding tabs on I/O shield weren't properly bent, so they went inside of the USB 3.1 and Ethernet ports. I tried to bend them back but ended up cutting my finger so I took unscrewed the Motherboard and moved it across slightly just enough so I could take out the I/O shield and bend it back properly. I accidentally broke one of the legs on the tab for the USB 3.1 port but the other one was still intact. This problem wasn't a huge deal but I recommend that you make sure that all the tabs on your I/O shield are bent properly. It wasn't necessary to bend it back but I did it anyway.Overall this is an excellent AMD B550 Motherboard with loads of features. Only cost me £130!!!

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 chose this motherboard specifically because i wanted a B550 chipset to run a Ryzen 5600x processor, and because I wanted it to support the 5.8 Linux kernel (I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS). Many other B550 boards use a newer 2.5Gb LAN which isn't supported by the 5.8 kernel as drivers haven't been backported yet. This board uses a Realtek 8111H Gigabit LAN which works just fine with 5.8.The board itself is good for the price paid with everything you'd normally expect. The board's BIOS can be flashed without anything installed on the board. I did this and it went flawlessly. Once built (5600x, 32GB RAM, 1TB nvme) and installed in the case everything worked as expected. Don't forget to set the BIOS XMP profile for your memory though - otherwise it'll be slower than you expected.The one quality issue was with the RJ45 LAN connector on the I/O back panel. I had problems inserting the LAN cable - it felt stiff and resisting and the cable did not click into place. Visually I could see nothing wrong. I managed to get the cable in and surprisingly the LAN worked fine - so it must be electrically correct. Still not sure exactly what's wrong, but it's the sort of thing I'd return the motherboard for if I'd noticed it before I'd completed the physical build. I'll live with this now as I can't be bothered to dismantle everything and it all works (and it wont need to be unplugged on a regular basis) - worst case I may have to buy a cheap LAN card if the RJ45 socket ever becomes unusable. Lesson of the day - check EVERYTHING *BEFORE* you do a build.The BIOS is easy to use. One minor surprise was that I couldn't find the AMD-V setting (to enable running virtual machines). In the BIOS it's called 'Secure Virtual Machine (SVM)' and is located (of all places) under the overclocking section (OC->Advanced->CPU Config->SVM).The sound chip in this motherboard is fairly old and when running Virtualbox (running a Linux VM under the Linux host) using default sound settings for the VM (i.e. PulseAudio), the sound on both the host and VM was distorted. Setting the VM to use the 'ALSA Audio Driver' fixed this.

Good motherboard, good price.

I picked this motherboard purely for the great value and performance potential on offer at an affordable price. It was delivered on time undamaged by Amazon prime. An affordable quality motherboard from MSI with potential for high performance pc build utilising 3rd Gen. Ryzen processors. Has passed its 24 hour burn in test under window 11 operating system environment with no errors or issues. Showed absolutely no temperature issues, no bios issues, no crashes with ryzen 5600 cpu and RX5700Xt GPU under various intensive graphics work loads, games play, text processing and numerical modelling applications. A cost effective platform for a good performing multipurpose PC built for general desktop pc applications use. Will play most modern PC game titles at good frame rate and quality settings. Very happy witb the motherboard features.

Very poor. I've only had this for 5 months and it's already broken. There is no way on Amazon to ask for a return or refund after the return window has closed even on items like this that should have a 12month warranty. If I could of given it 0 stars I would

Bought this as I had just built a new gaming PC for my daughter as we had a headache with the a520m phantom gaming motherboard. It took over 2 minutes to boot and just had problems even after updating bios.I got this as the replacement and it was a no fuss simple install. Drivers installed straight off no dramas. I like the fact it had a pump header meaning easy upgrade to an AIO along with a cover for the SSD with an additional m.2 for expansion. The MSI driver utility is useful also great Motherboard definitely recommend.I paired this with an Ryzen 5 5600 and a 4060 gpu. Seeing low 200fps in 1080p on Fortnite.

Pcle 4 icin aldım ve bu kartla am4 te 5 veya 6 sene daha kullanırım am5 e gecmem malum bellek fiyatları ekran kartlarıyla aynı 5600x le kullanıyorum ömrünü tamamlayana kadar devam

What can I say? It just works. And it works like a charm.

Jak najbardziej polecam z procesorem r5600, grafika rtx 4060ti 16g

Mein ersten MSI Board der letzten Jahre war das Tomahawk mit den 450 Chipsatz. Und da ich in den gesamten 2 Jahren keinerlei Probleme mit Windows 10 noch mit irgendwelchen Anwendungen hatte. Keine Blue Screens keine Abstürze wollte ich sehen, ob es ich mit einem Einsteiger Board mit aktuellem Chipsatz einen Einstiegsrechner bauen kann.Hauptaufgabe ist dabei Stabilität und sicher langfristiger Betrieb. Da ich nicht mehr als 500 € zur Verfügung hatte habe ich auf das Board A PRO zurückgegriffen. Optisch ansprechend von den Komponenten einwandfrei große Kühlkörper dazu 6 Lüfter Anschlüsse. Die Komponenten für die Stromversorgung der CPU gehen für die Preisklasse völlig in Ordnung beim Controller hat MSi nicht gespart.Die erste SSD Anschluss liefert die volle Übertragungsgeschwindigkeit genau wie die Sata Anschlüsse der zweite SSD Anschluss ist nicht voll angeschlossen aber das ist normal. Offiziell verfügt das Board über 4 USB-Anschlüsse 2.0 die aber nicht gedrosselt sind so das sie von der CPU als 3.1 Anschlüsse angesteuert werden. Hier kann mal also ebenfalls schnelle 3.0 Komponenten ohne Geschwindigkeitseinbußen nutzen.Da ich einen AMD Ryzen 5 3400G einsetze kann ich die Monitoranschlüsse wahlweise HDMI und Display Port verwenden. Der Soundchip ist für die Preisklasse auch in Ordnung auch, wenn er eine extra Soundkarte natürlich nicht ersetzen tut.Für mich ein solides Board ich verwende dazu HyperX FURY Black HX432C16FB3K2/16 Arbeitsspeicher der mit den vollen 3200 MHZ über im BIOS eingestellt werden kann. Das BIOS ist übersichtlich in Deutsch und weitgehend selbst erklärend. Gerade für Laien und Fortgeschrittene ist es gut aufgebaut und man kann selbst als Laie keinen Schaden anrichten. Ein bisschen RGB ist auch am Start kann aber auch abgeschaltet werden.Als Netzteil benutze ich ein Seasonic S12III 500 - Nicht Modulares PC-Netzteil - 80 Plus Bronze - 500 Watt weil es voll ausgebaute Schutzschaltungen verfügt und sehr zuverlässig ist. Der Hersteller baut es selbst. Verbaut ist das ganze in einen be quiet! Pure Base 500 Mid Tower der bietet ausreichend Platz für alles und ist sehr leise kann aber bei Bedarf ohne mühen aufgerüstet werden.Mein Fazit: Bei diesem Board habe ich alles, was ich benötige, stabile Stromversorgung die auch für die gerade erscheinende Ryzen Generation ausreichend ist. Schnelle USB und sehr gut erreichbare Sata Anschlüsse die ihre vorgegebenen Geschwindigkeiten tatsächlich erreichen. Mehr Speed als angegeben bei den USB-Anschlüssen nicht gedrosselt. Optisch ansprechend mit guten Komponenten auf den Board. Einen guten Soundchip für die Preisklasse und vorausgesetzt die CPU verfügt über Grafik auch die entsprechenden Anschlüsse das ganze in der Einsteiger Klasse. Ein BIOS auch für Laien und Fortgeschrittene mit einem guten Handling und großen Wiedererkennungswert. Die 3200 MHZ für die CPU werden vom Board bereitgestellt mein Arbeitsspeicher HyperX FURY Black HX432C16FB3K2/16 Arbeitsspeicher Kit unterstützt sowohl die 3200 MHZ als auch Intel XMP Einstellungen wie das Board.Für Business und Gaming sowie surfen bietet das Board alles, was man braucht zum günstigen Preis.

Ho deciso di acquistare questa scheda madre per diversi motivi:in precedenza usavo una b450 che mi aveva iniziato a dare diversi problemi... allora visto che dovevo sostituirlo ne ho cercata una migliore...Questa B550 A PRO ha tutto quello che può servire:- slot m2 di quarta generazione- altro slot m2 di terza generazione- posizionamento agevole di tutta la componentistica- usb di tipo c sul retro- possibilità di inserire una nuova porta usb c con porta dedicata sulla scheda madre- tanti slot per ventole e lede sicuramente tante altre cose di importanza minore per il mio utilizzo.Il bios è ben completo, ho dovuto metterlo in modalità legacy per fare partire windows, ma rimetterò uefi non appena ho il tempo di reinstallare il sistema operativo.Al momento zero problemi o crash! Costa si un pò di più della b450, ma penso ne valga proprio la pena soprattutto in ottica futura grazie al pcie 4.0.Scheda madre consigliatissima!!
