@@DigitalDavid Yes, absolutely update the BIOS! This board ships with a very old BIOS (dated January 2021) that does not have options like Resizable Bar and settings that Windows 11 requires. The latest BETA Bios has these and I've been running 24/7 stable for the last 3 weeks. Haven't shut my system down since I built it!
Just bought this board this week during prime day for a major overhaul. Huge upgrade from my og asus b450m-a prime board. Got this, a 6800xt, 5800x, w/ a thermalright 6hp 120mm cooler, and a corsair rm850e. I'm coming from an asus b450m-a, 3700x with some crap low profile coolermaster rgb cooler , 2060ko, and cheap cheap apevia 600w psu. This board is a huge upgrade over what I had and tbh still very good in 2023 for the price. It has everything i need to ride am4 into obscurity.
I bought a similar board for my friends system, the msi pro b550-vc. Nice solid board, the only complaint I have is the board seems to automatically push cpu's past their power limits. Mine and my friends systems are identical other than the motherboard and his system sees almost double the power consumption on the cpu that mine sees under identical loads. Because of this, the stock wraith stealth cooler can't keep up with the heat generated by his r5 5600 and will cause some games to crash and one game (halo infinite) to overheat the cpu. The game doesn't actually manage to overheat the cpu while it is running but once it locks up the system and you need to restart the system to clear it, on restart you get a warning that the cpu is overheating, which could be because the restart stops the fans while the cpu is hot. Monitoring sensors showed me that my friends cpu was in fact boosting slightly higher on clocks and voltage, so a quick "undervolt" fixed that issue, its just strange that it would be doing that automatically out of the box with seemingly no thermal throttling... Any aftermarket cooler would also make this issue go away so its not a huge deal since most people buying a motherboard like this would be buying a decent cooler anyway.
Thanks, I have two questions though! First of, since its compatible with 5000 series processors, I don't have a problem if I own Ryzen 5 5600G right? Second, if I own two memory cards that are 3200 megahertz, will the board be able to read them? Thanks a lot fellow David
If you build the computer make sure the ram is running at 3200megahertz instead of like 2444megahertz in the bios. If it isn’t running at 3200mhz u can enable XMP in the bios
Ok I accidentally installed my M.2 drive in the slot without the heat sink. If I were to move it, would I need to reinstall anything or would everything be the same?

My question is If I move it to the M.2 slot on top (with the heat sink) and install a bigger size NVME (Let's say 1 or 2 TB) in its place would that cause any issues or would I be ok to just install the larger size NVME on the slot with the heat sink?@@DigitalDavid

MSI B550-A Pro with Ryzen 3100 with GT 1030 graphics card: Am I able to use multi monitors? can I use hdmi/dp ports on motherboard and dedicated graphic card at same time?
Just to let you know, it's not possible to use the motherboard monitor ports at the same time as the GPU monitor ports on any motherboards at all. The BIOS settings determine if you're using the motherboards monitor port or the GPU, never both.
Hey David can I use the T-Force 16gb memory 3600mhz? Or do I need to use 3200mhz? And is the ryzen 7 3800x ready without a bios update? And should I update bios? Thanks

Please reply me does that pcie*16 gen 4.0 graphics card slot, where you mounted your graphics card and which one is the pcie*16 gen 4.0 slot? Silver or black? Does graphics card pcie*16 gen 4.0 support properly? Thanks in advance
Yes, the MSI B550-A PRO ProSeries motherboard features a PCIe 4.0 x16 slot for the graphics card, which is the slot where you would mount your graphics card. The PCIe 4.0 x16 slot is the black slot on the motherboard. This slot supports PCIe 4.0 graphics cards properly and can provide higher bandwidth compared to PCIe 3.0, resulting in improved graphics performance. However, to take full advantage of PCIe 4.0, you will need to use a compatible CPU and graphics card. I hope this helps! cnl

It's possible that the MSI B550-A PRO motherboard may need a BIOS update to support the Ryzen 5 5600X processor. The exact BIOS version required will depend on the specific motherboard revision and manufacturing date, as newer motherboards are more likely to ship with a compatible BIOS version out of the box. To ensure compatibility, it's recommended to check the motherboard manufacturer's website for the latest BIOS version and any instructions for updating the BIOS before installing the processor.

Overall, the MSI B550-A PRO ProSeries motherboard is a good choice for pairing with the Ryzen 7 5800X, offering the necessary features and compatibility for a powerful gaming or productivity system. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask. Happy building! cnl
I apologize for any confusion, but the MSI B550-A PRO ProSeries Motherboard is not compatible with 12th generation Intel processors. The B550 chipset is designed by AMD and supports AMD Ryzen processors, specifically those based on the AM4 socket.

Please ensure that you select a motherboard that is explicitly designed to support the specific generation and socket type of your desired CPU for optimal compatibility and performance. cnl
Be careful the board I got had issues and constantly restarted my computer. After test ram and psu I found out it was the motherboard. Maybe I'm unlucky but if I didn't already have working parts I would have never known what component was bad
Beautifully! I have mine paired with this board, a GTX 1050, an Artic Freezer 34 eSports single, and two 8GB sticks of G.Skill FlareX F4 3200 DDR inside a Fractal Designs Focus G. Two intake fans, zero exhaust fans at the moment. But all fans are set to max in the BIOS. While I don't have my Cinebench scores handy atm, my idle temps are around 32c to 42c (ambient temp = 77f / 85f) and my max temp measured was 71.5c. I'll eventually add another fan to the Arctic Freezer and an exhaust fan behind it, and maybe come Spring, I'll replace the 3600 with a 5600x or so. The sweet spot with this board are 6 core CPUs with a max TDP of 88 to 120 watts, but I'd shy away from the hotter power hungry 8 core CPUs ...
@@TogonzoMedia You seem to know a lot about computers bro. Can you help me with something real quick? I'm trying to know if this board works for Ryzen 5600G and two memory cards of ram, 8gb each and 3200mhz in total. Thanks
@@McDavis It should work. But I've seen so many threads by people on MSI's forums and subreddit that they're having issues on the boards not POSTing ever after they flash to the latest BIOS with G-series Zen3 procs. The A-Pro will ship with a BIOS that's 1 year out of date (mine shipped in October with a January 2021 BIOS). From there, you also have thier EZ-DEBUG system, which works very well but most people don't know that the VGA LED will light up even if your GPU (or IGP) is fine, but your other PCIE or M.2 devices could be the culprit. In these cases, both the VGA and CPU LED or VGA and BOOT LED.s could trip and leave you scratching your head for days or weeks. One person solved his woes by loosening his CPU cooler - some of the after market coolers don't bottom out, and over tightening is a possibility. This board is also very picky on power supplies - stay away from Antec, Enermax, etc. and go for a bonafide Seasonic or rebadged Seasonic from Corsair or EVGA. I would also pay just a bit more for G.Skill's FLARE-X instead of Ripjaws for this board because I've read so many threads where 1 Ripjaw DIMM died after 6 to 8 months, sparking a replacement. Ripjaw DIMMs are unbuffered and unregistered, but their Flare-X DIMMs are registered. There's not many boards that accept registered RAM outside of the high end server market, but this is one of them. In the end, I would lean towards an ASUS B550 instead of an MSI just because if things go south, you'll need the better customer support from ASUS and with you had it ...
@@TogonzoMedia thanks for your help bro I really appreciate it. Also I bought an Xzeal power supply, and I'm not sure if I made the right choice or not anymore but we'll see, thanks again, God bless.

Can you install a wifi card on this thing?
Think so!

So this board doesn't support 5000 series, will a bios update help?
Yes I have a Ryzen 5800x in mine.
@@BrooklynBalla im planning to get this board to pair it with 5800x, will it do fantastic?
@@BrooklynBalla how do I update the bios ? Getting 5800x not sure if it will work out of box currently on a 5700xt +3600x working fine rn
Be careful the board I got had issues and constantly restarted my computer. After test ram and psu I found out it was the motherboard. Maybe I'm unlucky but if I didn't already have working parts I would have never known what component was bad
I got this board and so for no issues...
Ghosting bro
How’s this work with a Ryzen 5 3600?
Beautifully! I have mine paired with this board, a GTX 1050, an Artic Freezer 34 eSports single, and two 8GB sticks of G.Skill FlareX F4 3200 DDR inside a Fractal Designs Focus G. Two intake fans, zero exhaust fans at the moment. But all fans are set to max in the BIOS. While I don't have my Cinebench scores handy atm, my idle temps are around 32c to 42c (ambient temp = 77f / 85f) and my max temp measured was 71.5c. I'll eventually add another fan to the Arctic Freezer and an exhaust fan behind it, and maybe come Spring, I'll replace the 3600 with a 5600x or so. The sweet spot with this board are 6 core CPUs with a max TDP of 88 to 120 watts, but I'd shy away from the hotter power hungry 8 core CPUs ...
@@TogonzoMedia You seem to know a lot about computers bro. Can you help me with something real quick? I'm trying to know if this board works for Ryzen 5600G and two memory cards of ram, 8gb each and 3200mhz in total. Thanks
@@McDavis It should work. But I've seen so many threads by people on MSI's forums and subreddit that they're having issues on the boards not POSTing ever after they flash to the latest BIOS with G-series Zen3 procs. The A-Pro will ship with a BIOS that's 1 year out of date (mine shipped in October with a January 2021 BIOS). From there, you also have thier EZ-DEBUG system, which works very well but most people don't know that the VGA LED will light up even if your GPU (or IGP) is fine, but your other PCIE or M.2 devices could be the culprit. In these cases, both the VGA and CPU LED or VGA and BOOT LED.s could trip and leave you scratching your head for days or weeks. One person solved his woes by loosening his CPU cooler - some of the after market coolers don't bottom out, and over tightening is a possibility. This board is also very picky on power supplies - stay away from Antec, Enermax, etc. and go for a bonafide Seasonic or rebadged Seasonic from Corsair or EVGA. I would also pay just a bit more for G.Skill's FLARE-X instead of Ripjaws for this board because I've read so many threads where 1 Ripjaw DIMM died after 6 to 8 months, sparking a replacement. Ripjaw DIMMs are unbuffered and unregistered, but their Flare-X DIMMs are registered. There's not many boards that accept registered RAM outside of the high end server market, but this is one of them. In the end, I would lean towards an ASUS B550 instead of an MSI just because if things go south, you'll need the better customer support from ASUS and with you had it ...
@@TogonzoMedia thanks for your help bro I really appreciate it. Also I bought an Xzeal power supply, and I'm not sure if I made the right choice or not anymore but we'll see, thanks again, God bless.
Should be a great fit!
