ASRock B550 Phantom Gaming 4 Supports AMD AM4 Socket Ryzen™ 3000, 3000 G-Series, 4000 G-Series, 5000 and 5000 G-Series Desktop Processors Motherboard

Great boards for am4 processors, keep in mind only two ram slots so factor that in for your build. Very high quality board that's easy to build and well labeled. The speed of build is very quick with these micro at boards. USB and all pins labeled well and easy to nav. Bios is easy to update. the board looks really cool and high quality. I've had no issues with stability and the computer runs crisp and clean. If your looking to build a nice budget build on a am4 processor this is a perfect board for that, priced well and a good quality board. Start to finish the build takes about 30-40 mins and is easy as the micro at platform gives you plenty of room even in a smaller case and just makes for a easy and quick build. A great budget build for basic gaming is this board, 2x 16gb sticks of ram, ryzen 5 5600x and a 1660 super and a 550w psu. You can build that for a fairly low price (ram is crazy expensive now) and have a stabile computer that is capable of decent gaming and multi tasking and is plenty fast for general use and basic gaming while maintaining good FPS. Add in a quality wifi card for wifi connection and your ready to go for a low price with a solid system on a budget and a easy first build for someone.

I'm not using this motherboard for gaming; I'm using it to migrate to Windows 11. I selected it because it supports TPM (pretty common these days,) has enough SATA ports for me, and supports AMD CPUs with built in graphics. Windows 10 was installed on one of the installed disks. Apparently Microsoft wants us to buy a new version of Windows in order to migrate, so my Windows activation is no longer valid. I'm guessing this will be true when a motherboard changes even if the same disks are used. Update: Windows 11 activated. The motherboard supports it, but (because of Windows issues) I was unable to update Windows 10. I had to install Windows 11 rather than upgrade. If you use Windows, you should buy your Win11 license using Groupon for about $10. The picture shows the installed motherboard. The I/O shield is on the top left, under the fan. Partially hidden under the CPU fan cable is an unused four pin 12V ATX connector next to the connected eight pin 12V ATX connector. My power supply didn't come with a four pin connector, so I didn't use it. The manual doesn't make it clear exactly why there are two 12V ATX connectors. As you can see, there's no graphics card used here. The motherboard supports (AMD) CPUs that have built in graphics, which is all that's needed when a gaming motherboard isn't going to be used for gaming. The motherboard has six SATA ports. I'm using four because three extra disks were available. You should be more careful than I was when considering which case you use. The case I used has two connectors that don't plug in anywhere on the motherboard. It doesn't have a reset button, instead using a front button to control RGB lighting. I use it as a reset button instead, so I can't control RGB lighting. The back panel has six USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, an HDMI connector and even (although I haven't seen one in ages) a PS/2 mouse/keyboard port. There are also line in, speaker out, and microphone ports. I don't use these. I would use the speaker out but my speaker line is a couple of inches too short to connect where I can see it. The case is installed inside a desk and I'd have to do this by feel. It's not that important yet. The headphone port on the front of the case works. The motherboard supports more fans than I have, has a COM port connector (which requires a PCI card to use,) an RGB LED header and an addressable RGB LED header, two USB 2 connectors, and a TPM connector. Almost all of these connectors are extras. You don't need any extra TPM. The motherboard and CPU provide this function. I have the case LED connector plugged into the addressable RGB header. It probably should have been plugged into the plain RGB header, since my front fans don't glow at all. I'd try switching it, but glowing fans weren't important enough to bother with. The /ac model also contains wireless LAN antennas. The same I/O shield is used for both models. It has unused holes. Here's the net: This motherboard does everything I ask of it, but I'm not really stressing it. It's physically sturdy. It started off in a case that wouldn't fit where it was needed and moving it to a smaller case didn't cause any problems. Before moving it, it ran 24/7 for about two weeks and now that it's been moved it's been running 24/7 for an additional week. You should look at reviews that contain graphics cards if you're going to use one. (I think you'll need one to support multiple monitors.) Make sure your case and motherboard are going to work well (enough) together.

Runs no issue, boots in seconds with nvme and 5800x, pc games great with 2x16GB ram and 6900Xt. Affordable with optional m2 for wireless card like a laptop would run, has holes for the antenna too! I have used Asrock for Ryzen cpus many times and never had an issue with their boards. Happy with this board and the price.

Perfect size for a casual gamer. There is enough room to work in and it’s not too big to go on top of your table if that’s your thing. Be mindful of your GPU choice as there is not much room for a long GPU if you plan on putting a bottom intake fan. Giving 4 starts and not 5 because the metal does feel thin, the glass panel doesn’t sit flush in the cut outs and you have to “damage” (punch out your own GPU slot). But hey this thing fits a ATX PSU and a full size CPU cooler all while being compact and a cheaper option. I would recommend it but I hope they can improve it over time without driving up the cost.

Muy buen MB para GAMING de bajo precio, sin ningún problema de envió el producto funciona genial.

La peor placa madre que he comprado en mis 20 años usando pc, no la recomiendo, no te deja aumentar la velocidad de las ram al reiniciar tu OC se desactiva, al intentar poner el modo seguro no fa imagen ni el logo de asrock asi tengas activo el sistema de compatibilidad, si usas los 2 puertos m.2 (es valido que canales sata se desconecten) lo que no es válido es que te reconozca el disco duro de respaldo pero no te permita inicializarlo, la placa madre me regula la velocidad de internet con cable ethernet y con wifi pero curiosamente con USB conectado al celular ahi si va rapido el internet que placa madre mas mala. NO LA RECOMIENDO es preferible poner 30$ mas y comprar la aorus B550

Excelente calidad

I've been using this motherboard for about 2 years now, no complaints. Works great
