I've had this motherboard since its release and couldn't be happier with it. MSI has stepped up their game in recent years. Great review as always Mike.
Thanks for taking the time to review this in detail, it looks impressive for the price as long as that price is about 100 quid. Really enjoying MSI boards especially with that USB flashboack button, god bless 'em.

When a GPU is in, the rgb backlight almost becomes nonexistent. Other than that, I think this is a stellar board for the price.

Bought this one yesterday replacing my Aorus Elite x570 that kept dying. It has the first bios for 5000 series so you can get a post with them, posted my 5900x and pcie 4.0 on my M.2 took it to 7300MB read/5300MB write, win10 was lightning fast. Then the Bios Flash utility in bios was good, nice and easy comparable to the Gigabyte one that kept not working. VRM etc runs low, even while using PBO at 4.9 - 5ghz.
Im glad it has the 6 sata ports as after having a bad experience with m.2 from burning out my go to is back to normal SATA drives. After my old and first ever build ive been using for 7 years now I thought it was time for an upgrade so im going for an all msi build this time :)
Excellent job here Mike. Thank you for calling out the dubious advertising of doubling components for CPU power phases. I was surprised to find the B550 Aorus Master actually really had like 14 phases if I'm not mistaken, but most of the time that's not the case. Very details review sir, thanks.
thanks James, yeah i'll call it where is needs it, the design itself isn't bad and really that misleading, just a bit difficult to compare when looking at phases, when all phases or either split, doubled, virtual or whatever term they choose to use. direct physical phases really don't always mean it is good either so the components and amp ratings are often more important that pure phase count
I do like MSI motherboards and this does look like a great board, kind of wish it had built in WiFi that would be my only complaint of it but everything else looks great.
Ah the motherboard that introduced me to @MikesUnboxing Couldn't get the screen to work so found your vid about bios flashback update tutorial. (Ps didn't work as it was just an issue my old GPU I used to test it) Ironically forced me to buy the kids 2 1660Supers instead of holding off and waiting to see what nvidea/amd were going to release (which i would still be waiting on now).
Interesting review Mike. My question would be what do you really gain by spending £140 or more? If you are gaming then surely gpu cpu and monitor would take priority (if available of course) for monies. If high workloads say media like you do would you see a distinct advantage paying so much more than these boards! I am awaiting del of Asus Rog Strix B450 Gaming II you reviewed so gives me chance to use 1st or 2nd gen Ryzen to replace my FX8350. Least then I can later upgrade to 3rd gen if needed. My FX8350 seems fast compared to my daughter's R3 1200 in comparison. But I appreciate we all have differing uses! Keep up the great reviews and streams. Stay safe everyone.
Thanks Nick, it is true what you are saying there, it gets to a point where the return on investment goes down a lot after a certain point, really around the b550 gaming plus and strix ii levels. anything above really is just features and lights
I'm still using a ps2 keyboard.. Part of the reason is that I use one with F-keys grouped in 4 sets of 3 instead of 3 sets of 4. It's very difficult to find a replacement with that layout.
I've always liked MSI, but I have to admit the Gigabyte X570 Aorus Pro Wi-Fi mobo in my media PC is operating perfectly with the 3200g. Gigabyte has come out with a Gigabyte X570S AORUS Master that looks as good as the new Z590 mobos, and they did away with the chipset fan. Also, I like Gigabyte's RGB Fusion software. It's small, simple and so far it appears to work well.
i think that is one of the first positive comments i have heard for rgb fusion! I actually liked it on the aorus elite, just seemed a little dated looking but totally functional
@@mikesunboxing True, but I only need it to do a system-wide static color. That's easy no RGB by only hooking up the wires needed to make the static color I want. But it's tougher with ARGB. That requires a controller or software. I hate controllers.
So naturally I went searching for the Oletta Liano comment. O's using RGB!! Oletta, see my video on OpenRGB 0.6, I fly over compatible hardware, hopefully it can work for you too.
@@jamesmiscellaneous I have always used RGB lighting. But only one static color. With 12v RGB it was easy. It's harder with 5v ARGB. But that's not my issue now. I'm trying to cancel a refund request on Amazon, but can't find a freaking link anywhere to do so.
@@OlettaLiano I remember you saying that, I use mostly a static color on all my ARGB as well, I only have 2 colors on my ram modules. I'll punch Jeff Bozo in the face for you if I see him Ms. Liano.
I have two computers with AM4: an MSI MPG B550 Gaming Plus motherboard with Ryzen 5 5600 and another computer with an MSI MPG X570 motherboard and an older Ryzen 7 3700X (2020) processor, the watt consumption of the 3700X is much lower (from 15 in idle to maximum 35 Watts). I have found that an SSD hard drive has a greater impact on computer performance than the CPU. I used to run Windows from an HDD (spinning hard drive), now my Windows, Firefox and Steam are installed on the SSD: The performance increase is 100% to 200%, loading times have been reduced to a fraction of the time, all programs and games load much faster. [...] Advice to all: Use a post-purchase CPU cooler with at least 120mm fan diameter and one or two fans for all AM4 processors. I recommend all the common Noctua models, such as the Noctua NH-U12S Redux or the Noctua NH-U12A. The noise level is reduced by 250% compared to a standard AMD fan because the larger fan, it spins at slower RPM and because of the larger cooler (with more heat pipes) dissipates heat better and faster.
Thanks for sharing the unboxing and review of this MOBO, Mike & Kath! Wishing to see the new APU's working with this MOBO (EX: R7 5700G or R5 5600G). The issue with these APU's will be pricing, I guess. Keep it up!

I just bough this board and a 5600G... I'll see if it already comes with the BIOS updated or not...
Just bought this for my son's first gaming PC - Ryzen 5 5600, Gigabyte 3060 Vision Ti 8gb, 32gb 3800 RAM, 2 - 1Tb Nvme (Amazon sent me an extra Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1Tb so why not? LOL). We're going with a 240mm AIO even though it's not necessary for aesthetics and an 850w Corsair PSU for future proofing eventual upgrades. Total of 6 RGB fans (including AIO) and two non RGB in the basement (intake) in a HYTE Y60 case. Hoping this sets him up for a while (he's 13). It's my first build in MANY MANY years and I want us to build it together. Any thoughts on this? Think it'll run his Meta Quest 2 via Linq cable smoothly?
I had a quick question I just purchased this motherboard with a ryzen 5 5600x would I need too do a bios update? I’ve googled it an it said it should be good too go but other people say you might need too update
This board is currently available on Amazon Netherlands for 90 euros which seems pretty great value - the X570S Torpedo Max is also available for 140 euros. I'm very tempted by either of these for my new PC, but also wondering if there will be more great deals on 500 series boards coming in the next few weeks as we get closer to Ryzen 7000 launch. I find it hard to know what's the best choice - keep waiting or pick one of these 2 up.
a few more months into summer and prices could drop but shipping expenses might increase so difficult to tell, black friday will be interesting as new intel and amd stuff will be out so the last gen will be cheaper
I just ordered this board from Best Buy for a ryzen 7 5800x I just bought and I hope it’s a simple setup. Had an old prime x370 pro mobo and it wasn’t compatible. It was driving me crazy I had no picture didn’t know what the problem was until I looked up the compatibility issues.
I'd rather get a value b550 than a value x570. Most value x570 board doesn't have the second gen4 m.2 but rather a gen3. The x570-a pro and the gaming edge are 2 from msi, but other brand does the same. It looks like they designed these board for the value chipset but had to fit the x570 because the b550 was not available.
have an alienware aurora r10 with 5800x bought this board with case and accessories to migrate the hardware over to this... i hope the firmware is updates somewhat, i saw there is an old update on the msi website adding ryzen 5000 series support. otherwise updating the bios seems easy enough.
@@mikesunboxing by the way, its not built yet... turns out cpu's from alienware systems from 2020 onwards have PSB enabled. so they dont boot on non-dell motherboards. i ordered a 5700x now, should arrive by the end of the week...
All right here I go! Can you explain the limitations, the Gen 3 & Gen PCIE slots? Am using an M.2 Gen 3 I believe. The Gen 4 was a bit out of my PC build budget! If I plan on using the M.2 & a GPU (gotta check the specs on a Radeon 6600) think it's a Gen 3 but will check. Can I have the M.2 in one of the spots and the GPU? I do have an SSD that is meant to go with the build, the M.2 being the primary storage, & the SSD a second. Are there some BIOS tweaks? Thanks
@@mikesunboxing hmm.. okay thank you again! 🤓 I got a couple different size GPU support posts (no, I don't think it's a gimmick). I think the PCIE 4 slot might be reinforced to help keep the GPU stable, but I would rather have an in place support. Not sure if the PCIE 3 is reinforced as well.
Have you any thoughts on MSI B550-A Pro? Not sure you ever did a video on it. This mobo seems a small upgrade but you'd still recommend it? Snagged it for £51.89 on prime day used like new so definitely value for money.
that is a great board, i ordered one but it was DOA so didn't get around to ordering another

Hey Mike, just bought this board to pair it with a 5600G. Will my M2 SSD Corsair MP510 PCI-E Gen 3 work in either slot or I should only use it in the PCI-E Gen 3 slot (the one managed by the chipset).
Hi, what would be a good build based on a Radeon rx 570 red devil, thanks. I was thinking a b550 tomahawk and a ryzen 5 5600x but everything after that I’m lost. I know basically nothing about computers

im having ethernet issues with this board when using bios updates for 5600x, i flash it back to default bios and use a 3700x and it works. ive updated the drivers and still have the same issues with using the 5600x
the sound output is pretty much the same across the entire b550 range and i don't see much if any difference between them, but i always use the audio drivers from the MSI website not the default windows ones, which maybe helps
Hey just want to say I appreciate you answering all these people’s questions in the comment section. I bought one new and one refurbished off amazon, the refurb has a sticker saying ryzen 5000 desktop ready and the new one hasn’t arrived yet. Would i need to bios flash for my ryzen 5700x cpu?
@@mikesunboxing I will look for it, by the way manufacturer that sells the board on amazon answered my question and said if the box has the ryzen 5000 series sticker then it won't need a bios update
Hi Mike.. Hoping you help I've got this board since seeing this video.. And I have the two m2 ssds installed and all is good... I'd like to install another can I use a M.2 NVME SSD to PCIe 4.0 Adapter.. To add one more? Be a great help if you can advise
Im looking for this MOBO + Ryzen 7 5700x. I already have an RTX 4060 8GB Aero, AZZA 650w, 4x8 2666Mhz HyperX fury (actually OC to 3200Mhz), and Cooler Master ML 240 v2. Do you think this is would be a great combination? Can i overclock my RAM to 3200Mhz too? BIOS updtade is necessary to use the R7 5700x? Thanksss sir!
if it says ryzen 5000 series ready on the box it is likely but as the 5600g is out after the initial 5000 series release it is highly likely that a flash is needed, but very easy to do
hey Mike I have one of the works mb and I love it lol , a b550 gaming x, worst because in a comparative test vrms went up to 120c with a hard oc for 1h in cinebench r20... well why do I like it then? because I never use cinebench but gaming and I went from a a320m which even during gaming had vrms at more than 90c with this one never more than 60

Hi Mike I have a questions, unfortunately this motherboard not have a 2.5 gb lan port but honestly you think this really necessary we feel a big difference ? and also she has old chipset audio (realtek alc892) I find for a gaming configuration in 2021 it’s actually a motherboard with a good value but I'm scared she will soon be outdated do you think she stands out from other cheap « gaming » motherboards that you have tested ?
the LAN speeds will need to have a 2.5gb switch and other devices on the same speed or it will just be 1gb speeds or 10/100 depending on the switch used. other than this the b550 tomahawk is a great choice or the b550 aorus elite
@@mikesunboxing Thank you for answer yes of course, my question I want know in comparison with for example B550 Aorus Elite or B550 Tomahawk the positive points of MSI MPG B550 Gaming plus she is better on some aspects like vram, stability, functionality and others ?
@@erenjager9932 to be honest unless you are overclocking with liquid nitrogen the differences are quite small, get the board that fits your needs and budget.
@mikesunboxing Both are NVME. Neither would work until BIOS updated, then only bottom port would work with either drive. Bios was reset after update so memory was down clocked. Changed that back to 3600mhz and wouldn't boot into bios at all. Interesting. Someone mentioned using the A-Xmp profile 1. Restarted and bottom drive works. Added top nvme and booted fine. I always used the over clock menu to manually select my ram before using any nvme and never had issue. Learned something new.
quick questiion about this motherboard.. it has front usb 3 connection. how many usb 3 can connect into it? in my case i have two 3.2 usbs...will single connection function both of these?

Hey Mike i have a 5600x on this board with 32gb ram, only issue im having is the date and time in windows 10 resets itself everytime i reboot, it jumps ahead to 16520 !! i have to keep setting it back to the present otherwise the internet wont work google or youtube, half my programs crash on start up etc its a pain, its not the CMOS battery as ive tried a new 1, but if i put my old 3600 in there the date and time is normal, any ideas? ive looked around in the BIOS and found the date stuck on 1998 lol and unable to change it myself, its weird, but once i set the clock and restart processes that crashed the system works amazingly well together in gaming and everything i do :) so i only restart once a week now
Just bought this for my music program wont be using it for multi channel audio just for studio monitors so i reckon it will be ok. I have an alienware R4 connected atm but crappy gpu and not great for what i want to use it for. So gone qith new case and new cheap build. Only thing i forgot to buy was cpu fan. I havebt bought ram sticks. It says use in non ecc. So i supose that must mean i got to buy non ecc ram sticks. Why i havent bought the ram sticks as yet as i am not sure which ones to buy.

Hi Mike I’m currently building my first PC i think I already made a mistake I bought a processor which is Ryzen 5 1600 af would it be compatible with this motherboard or no?
Hey i paired the 5600g cpu with rtx 3050, it was giving me 70-85 fps in rdr 2 and 150-180 fps in MotoGP 20 in 1080p, but some times when i play games i see the drops in fps. And it goes for days and suddnly gets fixed automatically for few days and then again the problem appears. Like rdr 2 drops to 50-60 fps sometimes 40 and motogp to 70-120. I never changed any settings in any games and windows. I tried everything on RUclips but doesn't fix that. My monitor refresh rate is 144 hz. And gpu usages while playing game is 90-100 percent and cpu 7-30 percent. What is the solution, i even tried overclocking.

swings and roundabouts really the lower latency helps to keep things snappy, but the higher frequency also will make some apps run better. to be honest the 3200 will most likely overclock to 3600 anyway these days if you wanted to, and the 3600 would likely drop to CL16 with a few tweaks so either way it should be fine and really only in benchmarks would you be able to tell the difference most of the time

Excellent job here Mike. Thank you for calling out the dubious advertising of doubling components for CPU power phases. I was surprised to find the B550 Aorus Master actually really had like 14 phases if I'm not mistaken, but most of the time that's not the case. Very details review sir, thanks.
thanks James, yeah i'll call it where is needs it, the design itself isn't bad and really that misleading, just a bit difficult to compare when looking at phases, when all phases or either split, doubled, virtual or whatever term they choose to use. direct physical phases really don't always mean it is good either so the components and amp ratings are often more important that pure phase count
great video m8 very concise(ohh look at me learning new words)
nice word! A+
I do like MSI motherboards and this does look like a great board, kind of wish it had built in WiFi that would be my only complaint of it but everything else looks great.
yeah that is a shame, but a cheap usb dongle is cheaper than getting the next board in the range that has bluetooth and wifi
I just got a wifi card that fits into the PCI-E port. Works fine
Jist bought this board. Thanks for the review! Its a shame the pruce went up in UK its now £120
I bought another one this week for £109 on Amazon
This is my motherboard. One of the first to buy during release.
awesome board, MSI were on point with this, great specs and price
Awesome video as always mike, I just bought this motherboard looking forward for building a pc this week. I got 5700x cpu for this MB
Sounds great!
Ah the motherboard that introduced me to @MikesUnboxing
Couldn't get the screen to work so found your vid about bios flashback update tutorial.
(Ps didn't work as it was just an issue my old GPU I used to test it)
Ironically forced me to buy the kids 2 1660Supers instead of holding off and waiting to see what nvidea/amd were going to release (which i would still be waiting on now).
Interesting review Mike. My question would be what do you really gain by spending £140 or more? If you are gaming then surely gpu cpu and monitor would take priority (if available of course) for monies. If high workloads say media like you do would you see a distinct advantage paying so much more than these boards! I am awaiting del of Asus Rog Strix B450 Gaming II you reviewed so gives me chance to use 1st or 2nd gen Ryzen to replace my FX8350. Least then I can later upgrade to 3rd gen if needed. My FX8350 seems fast compared to my daughter's R3 1200 in comparison. But I appreciate we all have differing uses! Keep up the great reviews and streams. Stay safe everyone.
Thanks Nick, it is true what you are saying there, it gets to a point where the return on investment goes down a lot after a certain point, really around the b550 gaming plus and strix ii levels. anything above really is just features and lights
I'm still using a ps2 keyboard.. Part of the reason is that I use one with F-keys grouped in 4 sets of 3 instead of 3 sets of 4. It's very difficult to find a replacement with that layout.
yeah that is quite unusual
£109 on amazon so i bought it. pairing it with a 5800x3d 👍
Nice one!

I've always liked MSI, but I have to admit the Gigabyte X570 Aorus Pro Wi-Fi mobo in my media PC is operating perfectly with the 3200g. Gigabyte has come out with a Gigabyte X570S AORUS Master that looks as good as the new Z590 mobos, and they did away with the chipset fan. Also, I like Gigabyte's RGB Fusion software. It's small, simple and so far it appears to work well.
i think that is one of the first positive comments i have heard for rgb fusion!
I actually liked it on the aorus elite, just seemed a little dated looking but totally functional
@@mikesunboxing True, but I only need it to do a system-wide static color. That's easy no RGB by only hooking up the wires needed to make the static color I want. But it's tougher with ARGB. That requires a controller or software. I hate controllers.
So naturally I went searching for the Oletta Liano comment. O's using RGB!! Oletta, see my video on OpenRGB 0.6, I fly over compatible hardware, hopefully it can work for you too.
@@jamesmiscellaneous I have always used RGB lighting. But only one static color. With 12v RGB it was easy. It's harder with 5v ARGB. But that's not my issue now. I'm trying to cancel a refund request on Amazon, but can't find a freaking link anywhere to do so.
@@OlettaLiano I remember you saying that, I use mostly a static color on all my ARGB as well, I only have 2 colors on my ram modules. I'll punch Jeff Bozo in the face for you if I see him Ms. Liano.
I have two computers with AM4: an MSI MPG B550 Gaming Plus motherboard with Ryzen 5 5600 and another computer with an MSI MPG X570 motherboard and an older Ryzen 7 3700X (2020) processor, the watt consumption of the 3700X is much lower (from 15 in idle to maximum 35 Watts). I have found that an SSD hard drive has a greater impact on computer performance than the CPU. I used to run Windows from an HDD (spinning hard drive), now my Windows, Firefox and Steam are installed on the SSD: The performance increase is 100% to 200%, loading times have been reduced to a fraction of the time, all programs and games load much faster. [...] Advice to all: Use a post-purchase CPU cooler with at least 120mm fan diameter and one or two fans for all AM4 processors. I recommend all the common Noctua models, such as the Noctua NH-U12S Redux or the Noctua NH-U12A. The noise level is reduced by 250% compared to a standard AMD fan because the larger fan, it spins at slower RPM and because of the larger cooler (with more heat pipes) dissipates heat better and faster.
interesting information there.
Thanks for sharing the unboxing and review of this MOBO, Mike & Kath! Wishing to see the new APU's working with this MOBO (EX: R7 5700G or R5 5600G). The issue with these APU's will be pricing, I guess. Keep it up!
I just bough this board and a 5600G... I'll see if it already comes with the BIOS updated or not...
@ is it?
@@Ashl0rd yes
Just bought this for my son's first gaming PC - Ryzen 5 5600, Gigabyte 3060 Vision Ti 8gb, 32gb 3800 RAM, 2 - 1Tb Nvme (Amazon sent me an extra Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1Tb so why not? LOL). We're going with a 240mm AIO even though it's not necessary for aesthetics and an 850w Corsair PSU for future proofing eventual upgrades. Total of 6 RGB fans (including AIO) and two non RGB in the basement (intake) in a HYTE Y60 case. Hoping this sets him up for a while (he's 13). It's my first build in MANY MANY years and I want us to build it together. Any thoughts on this? Think it'll run his Meta Quest 2 via Linq cable smoothly?
sounds like a good project to get back in the game with should be pretty plain sailing, just check the bios before building
Bought the and still using the MSI b450 gaming pro carbon ac. Bought the MSI B550 Gaming Edge wifi last week to replace it
nice! two very good board there
I had a quick question I just purchased this motherboard with a ryzen 5 5600x would I need too do a bios update? I’ve googled it an it said it should be good too go but other people say you might need too update
@@stopnglob4086 Would depend if it says ryzen 5000 series ready on the box
This board is currently available on Amazon Netherlands for 90 euros which seems pretty great value - the X570S Torpedo Max is also available for 140 euros. I'm very tempted by either of these for my new PC, but also wondering if there will be more great deals on 500 series boards coming in the next few weeks as we get closer to Ryzen 7000 launch. I find it hard to know what's the best choice - keep waiting or pick one of these 2 up.
a few more months into summer and prices could drop but shipping expenses might increase so difficult to tell, black friday will be interesting as new intel and amd stuff will be out so the last gen will be cheaper
I heard its bad, but I don't think that, just bought it alongside a ryzen 9 and I have good expectations tbh.
it is a good board, i have bought at least 5 of them
I just ordered this board from Best Buy for a ryzen 7 5800x I just bought and I hope it’s a simple setup. Had an old prime x370 pro mobo and it wasn’t compatible. It was driving me crazy I had no picture didn’t know what the problem was until I looked up the compatibility issues.
yeah should be fine, look for the ryzen 5000 series ready sticker on the box or you will need to flash the motherboard
what are the chances I actually ordered this board this Tuesday and it gets here today in the afternoon. :)

What's the difference between this motherboard and MSI MPG gaming edge Wi-Fi?
wifi and better vrm mostly
@@mikesunboxing MPG boards rely suck ^^
I got this board for £70 from Scan as was bundled with the 5600X Absolute bargain
nice!
I'd rather get a value b550 than a value x570. Most value x570 board doesn't have the second gen4 m.2 but rather a gen3. The x570-a pro and the gaming edge are 2 from msi, but other brand does the same. It looks like they designed these board for the value chipset but had to fit the x570 because the b550 was not available.

Awesome video, would this motherboard work good with Ryzen 7 5700g , 16gb ram , 2 m.2 ssds and no gpu ?
yes great choice and some headroom for upgrades
@@mikesunboxingThank you , im ordering it tommorow. Will it work with the 5700g out of the box or only with a bios update?
have an alienware aurora r10 with 5800x
bought this board with case and accessories to migrate the hardware over to this... i hope the firmware is updates somewhat, i saw there is an old update on the msi website adding ryzen 5000 series support. otherwise updating the bios seems easy enough.
unless it is a really old board or old stock you should be fine
@@mikesunboxing by the way, its not built yet... turns out cpu's from alienware systems from 2020 onwards have PSB enabled. so they dont boot on non-dell motherboards. i ordered a 5700x now, should arrive by the end of the week...
All right here I go! Can you explain the limitations, the Gen 3 & Gen PCIE slots? Am using an M.2 Gen 3 I believe. The Gen 4 was a bit out of my PC build budget! If I plan on using the M.2 & a GPU (gotta check the specs on a Radeon 6600) think it's a Gen 3 but will check. Can I have the M.2 in one of the spots and the GPU? I do have an SSD that is meant to go with the build, the M.2 being the primary storage, & the SSD a second. Are there some BIOS tweaks? Thanks
that should all work fine without and tweaks or mods
@@mikesunboxing hmm.. okay thank you again! 🤓 I got a couple different size GPU support posts (no, I don't think it's a gimmick). I think the PCIE 4 slot might be reinforced to help keep the GPU stable, but I would rather have an in place support. Not sure if the PCIE 3 is reinforced as well.
Does this motherboard contains TPM 2.0 ? or do I need a separately plug it in ? If it is additional, where should I place it ?
it has it on the processor most likely or a separate one can be installed on the board
Have you any thoughts on MSI B550-A Pro? Not sure you ever did a video on it. This mobo seems a small upgrade but you'd still recommend it? Snagged it for £51.89 on prime day used like new so definitely value for money.
that is a great board, i ordered one but it was DOA so didn't get around to ordering another
Hey Mike, just bought this board to pair it with a 5600G. Will my M2 SSD Corsair MP510 PCI-E Gen 3 work in either slot or I should only use it in the PCI-E Gen 3 slot (the one managed by the chipset).
Top slot would be best

the LAN speeds will need to have a 2.5gb switch and other devices on the same speed or it will just be 1gb speeds or 10/100 depending on the switch used.

is it an NVME or m.2 sata drive? the top slot is NVME only
@mikesunboxing Both are NVME. Neither would work until BIOS updated, then only bottom port would work with either drive. Bios was reset after update so memory was down clocked. Changed that back to 3600mhz and wouldn't boot into bios at all. Interesting. Someone mentioned using the A-Xmp profile 1. Restarted and bottom drive works. Added top nvme and booted fine. I always used the over clock menu to manually select my ram before using any nvme and never had issue. Learned something new.

swings and roundabouts really the lower latency helps to keep things snappy, but the higher frequency also will make some apps run better.
to be honest the 3200 will most likely overclock to 3600 anyway these days if you wanted to, and the 3600 would likely drop to CL16 with a few tweaks so either way it should be fine and really only in benchmarks would you be able to tell the difference most of the time

@@katangka3397 It only matters if the rest of your network is 2.5g but, most people are still on 10100 or 1gb, so it will be fine
Is it good for ryzen 7 5800x? I am using currently
i don't see why not
Can I use this board with 5800x?? I am kinda confused what should I pick for 5800x... this one or mortar mag 550m?
the mortar is MATX this is ATX either board is fine though
@@mikesunboxing do I need to update the bios to use 5800x or it will just support without bios update?
if it has the 5000 series ready sticker on the box , it will work straight away, otherwise it will need a bios flash, but it is easy to do, and we have done many videos on it
@@mikesunboxing thanks mike... for helping me make my decision😊
no problem, please leave a like on the video was helpful and share if you think it might help others.
Can this motherboard MSI MPG B550 Gaming Plus support ADATA 1TB M.2 PCIe Gen4x4 SSD widh reading speed up to 7,400MB/s and writing speed up to 6,800MB/s ?.
yes in the top slot
Is this mobo better or equal to b550 mag Tomahawk?
hmm it is very similar and the gaming plus for me is the one i choose to keep out of the two as it was cheaper and the tomahawk costs more but has better audio chip, higher frequency memory support and 2.5gb lan so if those things are not something you need then the gaming plus will save you about £50
@@mikesunboxing I see, those two things are not important for me ( I'm building pc for unreal engine & other 3d softwares) I'm going with ryzen 7 3700x for now but I was looking forward to upgrade it to ryzen 9 5950x in a year. That's why I chose tomahawk but if gaming plus provides same things at cheap price then why not. Thank you for taking out your time to reply to my comment. More power to you bro.
Do let me know if you have any suggestions ( for my build )
@@ft.harshsharma no problem, to be honest the gaming plus does really well and is more than up to the job
@@mikesunboxing thanks 👍
