as for the board itself, easy to work with, has clear cmos jumper in the HARDEST PLACE ive ever had to get to (besides the b450I gaming plus ac which was in between the wifi module at the rear i.o.) to solve this issue i took out a reset button from an old case ill never use again and installed that onto the cmos jumper so i can clear the bios if i need to as i DONT want or wish to remove my vertical mounted gpu if that time comes! also has EZ debug leds which will easy help you figure out what the issue is rather its ram, cpu, video etc, (notes to consider when overclocking ram sometimes youll push Fclk to far and itll say its the cpu which is correct as your ram can do what your asking but the CPU cant keep up). has wifi 6, 2 m.2 slots 1 gen 4 1 gen3, (if your not using a gen 4 ssd you WILL NOT notice any differences whatsoever!
Has more than enough fan headers to which i would have rather had 5 HYBRID headers (pwn,pump,dc headers) rather than 8 headers all together (1 cpu 4pin 1 pump 4pin, 6 system header) for some aio/water pumps it wont matter what header you use but for some it does as some are PWM only OR DC ONLY, so this will sometimes matter but its not to big of a deal.
the VRM on this board for what this board is shooting towards (audience) is EXTREMELY WELL DONE! has more than enough to run even a 16 core chip (if overclocking this chip id run a fan on the vrm as i would ANY board for that matter) but for most getting this board a 3600, 5600x even OVERCLOCKING these chips wont be a problem for this board its VERY WELL BUILT!
ram support on this thing is by far better than its bigger brother or should i say WIMPY SISTER? the x570 gaming edge wifi (vrm GARBAGE, ram overclocking (i got the same results on this board as i did with my others but was easier done on the b550 and less prone to overheating issues on the VRM) on the x570 version running the EXACT same EVERYTHING i am now i hit 80c on the VRM alone to where as this board hasnt seen over 38c. need i say more on that matter?
if your looking for a used board from amazon to which your unsure because it states used-good in my experiences if it has the original box included (most the time not always) its going to have all the extra goodies that comes with it and ive never had scratche on anything ive bought used good condition as well as ive been able to register for a warranty on the manufactures website.
conclusion as you can see in the pics this board is running fine with no thermal issues, no hiccups, even the bios it shipped with works for a 5600x out the box, i will say that i would only update to PATCH C bios and not use the beta version on MSI website as its not stable at all and locks out FCLK 2000 all together! LOOKING for a great board? THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT!!!!

The built in Bluetooth works great, and I get about a 25 foot range with my earbuds before the signal starts cutting out. This is much better than the Bluetooth on the PCIe Wi-Fi card that I had before, which had a much less reliable signal. The Wi-Fi also works without any issues.
The sound card on the board is also good quality, and using the Realtek Audio Console, you can make further adjustments with the equalizer to fine tune the sound depending on your headphones/earbuds.
Also, the built in IO shield made installing the board much easier than my prior board which came with a stencil IO shield that was a bit frustrating to get lined up properly.
Overall, this is probably best value B550 board you can get from MSI, especially if you can snag it during a sale or with a promotion from MSI.
The directions were very easy to understand and get everything installed. The bios are extremely easy to work with and it already came with updated bios that supports the new Ryzen 5000. It does have a bios flashback which can update bios without a cpu installed. One of the things I noticed and appreciated was the on-board debugging led. This lets you know if your motherboard sees an issue with any of your components. This was especially useful when I was overclocking my RAM and saw that it was detecting a problem, which updating the bios fixed.
All said and done, I am really glad I chose this motherboard since it comes with some many features at a good price.

This was especially useful when I was overclocking my RAM and saw that it was detecting a problem, which updating the bios fixed.
All said and done, I am really glad I chose this motherboard since it comes with some many features at a good price.
Since I do not have need of multiple Gen 4 PCIe SSDs, I was not really looking at the X570 boards. They generally are either much more expensive for the same components as a B550, or the more value priced ones have fewer features than comparable B550. The only one I seriously considered was the Asus TUF X570-Plus Wifi, but it does not have bios flashback.
Within the B550's, other boards I considered were the B550 Tomahawk, Asus TUF B550-Plus or B550-F, and to an extent the Gigabyte B550 Aorus Pro. Several of those were more money for the same or fewer features. The B550 Tomahawk is similar to this board, except no WIFI and a little fewer IO options. But at the time it and the Gaming Edge WIFI were going for the same price, so it was an easier decision.
So far so good and I am happy with the board. Will update the review if that changes.
Top reviews from other countries
Overall the software is great, BIOS is easy to navigate with an advanced mode if you wanna overclock. Awesome fan curve changer. Only complaint is the startup icon is a bit ugly, I would’ve preferred just the MSI logo or brand name instead of a weird thumbnail of what I assume is the Gaming Edge branding. MSI’s mystic light works well. As usual, MSI does not disappoint.
A word of caution on my shipping experience, Amazon shipped my board in a box that's twice as wide without extra packaging or padding halfway around the world. Count me very lucky that the board still works.
