Solid B550 Board with Bells and Whistles

Strengths:

- Sturdy Build - Plenty connections and PCI-E compatibility - Solid power delivery - Good operating temps - Good sale price - Easy to build with due to convenient connector quantity, connector locations, and design - No RGB - Built in Wi-Fi/Bluetooth - Worked out of box with a 5000 series card (Update BIOS to latest if using Win 11, latest microcode updates significantly improve Win 11 performance)

Weaknesses:

- Price not on sale a bit steep - No RGB (if you want that) - PCIE lane sharing may cause issues for users wanting to fully populate slots

Additional Comments:

A solid B550 board that contains good power delivery and overall compatibility. Built in Wi-Fi/BT card is a bonus and functions nicely. Biggest deal breaker for some might be PCIE lane sharing if you require many addon cards. The power phases are 10 + 2 + 1 which is solid for a board of this price. Overall, I'd highly recommend this board if you build more practical over aesthetic with the lack of RGB, and the lane sharing doesn't impede with you build plans.
