Had that one returned and in the meantime ordered this motherboard as a replacement. Plugged in and powered on- no issues so far. Will monitor and update appropriately. Review: Great value motherboard - I bought this as an upgrade to a B450 motherboard it has been perfect. The only issue I've encountered with this is that there is no connector for usb-c slot on the front of the case. This wouldn't normally be an issue for me as I don't often use usbc devices but, this has become a problem in a day and age where usbc seems to be the new standard. Not the motherboards fault, I should've done more research on the parts that I was buying. It looks great in the case and all connections have been stable, never had any issues with it. Overall good quality board, would recommend to anyone who wants a cheaper board to be able to spend more on things like CPU and GPU. ## Features - RYZEN 5000 READY, STABLE PERFORMANCE - The B550 GAMING GEN3 is an ATX motherboard outfitted with the latest AMD B550 chipset (AM4, Ryzen 5000 ready); The VRM features MSI Core Boost technology for improved stability & performance - COOLING FEATURES - The VRM & chipset heatsinks provide passive cooling; The B550 GAMING GEN3 includes a dedicated 4-pin pump header for liquid coolers, while cooling settings can be adjusted both in BIOS or through MSI Center software - DDR4 MEMORY, PCIe 3.0 x16 SLOTS - 4 x DDR4 DIMM slots with DDR4 Boost isolated circuitry for overclocking (1DPC 1R, 4400+ MHz); A PCIe 3.0 x16 Steel Armor slot supports graphics cards (secondary PCIe 3.0 x16 slot, AMD CrossFire supported) - GEN3 M.2 CONNECTOR - Storage includes a M.2 Gen3 x4 32Gb/s slot (supports SATA 6Gb/s & 2260, 2280, 22110 storage devices) - WELL CONNECTED - Network hardware includes a Gigabit LAN controller; Rear ports include 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A (10Gb/s), 4K/30Hz HDMI 2.0b & DVI-D (requires processor graphics), and 7.1 HD Audio with Audio Boost ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09Z2LPMRD | | Available Memory Slots | 4 | | Best Sellers Rank | 39,664 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 302 in Motherboards | | Box Contents | camera body battery | | Brand Name | MSI | | CPU Model | Ryzen 5 | | Chipset Type | AMD B550 | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer | | Compatible Processors | AMD Ryzen 5000, AMD Ryzen 3000, AMD Ryzen 4000 G | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (522) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04719072970321 | | Graphics Card Interface | PCI-Express x16 | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 24.4L x 3.5W x 30.5H centimetres | | Item Type Name | AMD Motherboard | | Item Weight | 1 Kilograms | | Main Power Connector Type | 24-Pin | | Manufacturer | MSI | | Manufacturer Part Number | 7B86-050R | | Memory Clock Speed | 4400 MHz | | Memory Storage Capacity | 128 GB | | Model Name | B550 GAMING GEN3 | | Model Number | 7B86-050R | | Number of Ports | 15 | | Platform | Windows 11 | | Processor Socket | Socket AM4 | | Product Warranty | 3 YEARS | | RAM Memory Technology | DDR4 | | Ram Memory Maximum Size | 64 GB | | S/PDIF Connector Type | Optical | | System Bus Standard Supported | SATA 3 | | Total HDMI Port | 2 | | Total PCIe Ports | 7 | | Total SATA Ports | 6 | | Total USB Ports | 13 | | USB 2.0 | 2 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** MSI - **CPU model:** Ryzen 5 - **CPU socket:** Socket AM4 - **Chipset type:** AMD B550 - **Compatible devices:** Personal Computer - **Compatible processors:** AMD Ryzen 5000, AMD Ryzen 3000, AMD Ryzen 4000 G - **Memory clock speed:** 4400 MHz - **Model name:** B550 GAMING GEN3 - **Platform:** Windows 11 - **RAM memory technology:** DDR4 ## Images ![B550 GAMING GEN3 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81eMNsNlSAL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked first time. *by C***A on 4 September 2025* Previously sent a MSI B550 Tomahawk motherboard, arrived damaged and failed to boot up.
