  It is better to look for another version as this one has many negatives such as pcie 3.0 x16 and limited speeds in the M.2 which if you have a good one like kc3000 or 990 pro does not accept the speeds compared to other b550. If you find it at 80 euros, it may be worth it!

  HARDWARE & GADGETS

  2023-09-28Expert user

  I was not 100% satisfied...
  I bought it along with a 3600 (tray) for €77 and 2*8gb 3200 g.skill aegis.

  It seemed very poor compared to the MSI MAG B550 Gaming Plus (€112), ASUS TUF B550 Gaming Plus/Gigabyte Aorus Elite Gaming B550 (€125 and €150 for the Wi-Fi models of these two).

  It has 1 PCIe 4 port for a disk. The others have 2 and maybe 3 (1* PCIe 4 + 1 or 2 PCIe 3).
  It does not have a USB-C connector on top for the case.
  It does not have enough fan headers to connect fans to it and control them (lighting and speed).

  With so many "I don't have" I think it probably came out as MSI's budget solution once in the AM4 platform (back when you could get a reliable B550 for €150 and the slightly better ones with Wi-Fi, bt, pcie ssd slots were €200) and it was forgotten both then and now that prices have dropped.

  If it drops to €65-85, maybe I would recommend it (so that someone doesn't go through the process of getting a B450 and not having smart access memory with 3600/5600) but to get this specific motherboard with this combination.

  Updated 19/10/2023.
  I sold it so as not to get involved and start complaints... The motherboard DOES NOT HAVE PCIE 4.0 even for 5000 series CPUs.
  It is PCIE 3.0 x16 and PCIE 3.0 x4 (NVME SSD).
  A common budget solution for Smart Access Memory and an economical S70 BLADE 2TB that I bought in August for €77 in plus deals *PS5 Compatible* does not work...
  2 stars because it is the only (maybe) B550 in the world with pcie 3.0 version...
  I went for the MPG MAG with €20 more and it has everything. In Radeon, you can enable Smart Access Memory normally, in the BIOS you can enable Resize Bar (for PCIE Intel/Nvidia cards).
  PCIE 4.0 standard (finally 7333MB/6711MB Read/write on the SSD).

  Common Asus B450 Prime Plus for €75 (for economy and pcie 3.0) or MSI MPG Gaming Plus for PCIE 4.0.
  2 stars simply for stability and everything working perfectly... -3 stars for the misleading assumption.

  The motherboard offers support for PCIe 4 for the GPU if the PCIe 3 option is changed to this.
