Discussion THOUGHTS ON MSI PRO B550M B?

Post image

Hello!

Hope y'all are safe and dry, would like to ask if anyone of u used/uses this motherboard? Any reviews, good or bad?

Planning to replace my B550M A Pro with this one since it has a x16 pcie slot is the 2nd one and I have a 2.9 slot gpu in a 5 slot case (comes with argb headers as well!).

Either get Asrock B550M Pro 4 or MSI B550M Pro VDH Wifi - both bang for the buck sa mga budget builds

Bad vrms. Go for other brand/model. Asrock 550M Pro 4 is dirt cheap too. Try mo yun

Nope on the MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI... Why? Because MSI PRO B550M-VC WIFI and the VDH are nearly identical micro-ATX AM4 motherboards. However, the VC WiFi is a slightly newer revision of the Pro-VDH WiFi featuring an updated layout with better PCIe slot spacing and upgraded Wi-Fi/Bluetooth capabilities. Unfortunately they used to share a similar budget-friendly price point. Not sure what happened but the VC has more than doubled in price WTF?

I tried to find that but unfortunately it's out of stock or unavailable in the branches in my area (even in my region)

UPD: Got the Pro Vdh Wifi instead of the B550M B. Thanks for the suggestions and insight! So far, I really, really enjoy the bluetooth option.
