MSI B550M PRO-VDH WiFi ProSeries Motherboard (AMD Ryzen 5000, AM4, DDR4, PCIe 4.0, SATA 6Gb/s, M.2, USB 3.2 Gen 1, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, D-SUB/HDMI/DP, Micro-ATX)

It is a great quality for the am4 platform. It has excellent boot time the USB ports are at the perfect number and have various generations for the speed you need. It is very easy to install and work with. This works well with pcie 3.0 out put for 4k gaming. It is rated for 4.0. the CPU I have is a beast. AMD is the way to go for diy builds. It is compatible with a wide variety of AMD CPUs from r5 5500 to r9 5850x and everything that is am 4. It is great at wifi works with windows 11. Just make sure to get the right PSU for your CPU and GPU combo as well as the right CPU cooler. This will last me a long time. I am happy with this as a diy builder. Worth every cent.

I got this for my ryzen 7 5700X. It came with a fairly current bios so I didn't have to update which was nice. There is a newer one out there but I'm not worried about updating it because everything works. This is a great motherboard for the price, lots of features, it has 4 ram slots which is very nice, it can handle rgb if you want it, and the board with 32gb of 3200 ddr4 ram is very quick. combined with a 3060 12gb gpu and its my main gaming rig. I liked the board enough that I got a second one for another project. Also it sounds like AMD is going to be releasing some new AM4 cpus so I would expect this bord to support them with a bios update. So we'll see if the future of AM4 is going to live on for a bit yet. I really like this motherboard, there isn't much it can't do. Even the wifi is nice and fast.

Motherboard is great, two M2 slots on a micro atx with wifi and bluetooth feels like a great deal at this price point.FOR WIFI AND BLUETOOTH FUNCTIONALITY you will need to install drivers from MSI, mine did not work or recognize until I completed this step.There are two ways to go about this.You can install the "MSI Centre" from the microsoft store. This program is insanely hard to navigate, and most people can't get past the terms and conditions. (You have to read it for continue to light up). The consensus is that it's junk but can't vouch past the terriible intro.OR, you can install Dragon Center. I went this route and it was pretty painless (search auto for drivers, install drivers, done).Just be careful not to update BIOS from dragon center or MSI center.. this has been known to cause problems on MSI motherboards. Always flash from a USB to be safe

For anybody looking to do a MATX build, this is my #1 recommendation for the AM4 platform. With a Ryzen 7 5800x, RTX 2080 Super, and a bunch of small addons, it works perfect and easily. Updating the BIOS was simple and everything worked right when it was hooked up. Overall a 10/10

Despite being relatively tech-savvy, this motherboard was used in the first PC I built from scratch. During that process, I learned three things everyone should know.1) If you put an AMD Ryzen 5 or newer processor (mine was originally the 5500 and I swapped it to the 5500 GT), then you need to flash the BIOS. Even if you did everything correctly, you could still be missing monitor output. As scary as it sounds because people have bricked their MOBO before, flashing the BIOS isn't especially difficult. All you need is a spare 8GB Flashdrive that you can reformat. I won't go through the full list of instructions, but there are plenty of tutorials out there.2) This is an optional step, but I /highly/ recommend getting a CPU with integrated graphics (remember, I swapped from the 5500 to the 5500 GT). It costs a little more money, but it can make the initial Windows install and driver updates infinitely easier. If the BIOS is flashed, then the CPU should work. If the CPU works, and you have integrated graphics, then you can do the entire setup process and have a much easier time troubleshooting any GPU problems you could encounter.3) I ran into very, very weird compatibility issues with one of the off-brand RX 580s you can find on Amazon (hence recommending integrated graphics for troubleshooting). The GPU worked, but it only worked when I slotted it into my PC I've had since 2019. It never worked on this motherboard. I slotted a random, old GPU I had sitting around (9500 GT), and it DID work on this motherboard. Despite using the other GPU to install Windows and drivers, I could never get any display output using that RX 580. That said, I wouldn't blame the motherboard for issues with an off-brand component originally manufactured 7 years ago. Ended up shelling out an extra $60 to get an RTX 3050 just to get something from a reputable company.Your mileage may vary with this motherboard, but so long as you have integrated graphics, buy a reputable GPU, and are willing to learn how to flash the BIOS (which isn't bad at all on this motherboard), then you'll probably get an amazing value.

Very good motherboard and a great price. Needed to get a Windows 11 compatible, pcie Gen 4 motherboard Wi-Fi and Bluetooth works great. No complaint. Would recommend for the last run of the AM4 socket.
