Review Asus Prime B550M-A Wi-Fi Review: Affordable, Hot Running Micro-ATX

[Admin]

The Asus Prime B550M-A Wi-Fi is the least-expensive B550 motherboard we’ve tested yet. It includes most of the features you’d expect in a Micro-ATX package. It performed well against other B550 boards, has capable power delivery, and offers enough connectivity.

This board has VRM with 4+2 phases and only 3 capacitors in the 12V filter. I think a 95-105W CPU with PBO can rip(ple) them fast.

...and has the cheast sound you can get. Its only a couple bucks more to at least upgrade to 1200 sound (not even the newer 12xx ones). Sounds like a board designed only to run 65W chips, especially if you want to OC One. if you arnt going to OC just get the new 520 boards that are cheaper.

It was mentioned in the article "All ports and M.2 sockets can work simultaneously -- there is no lane sharing with this configuration." Does this mean that you can have a GPU and 2 x M.2 SSD's running simultaneously without any problems? I have a AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 4750G and I can't seem to find any documentation on ASUS website or anything about the allowed PCIe configuration! I understand that if I use the two M.2 SSD slots I can only use SATA_3 and SATA_4 slots. So ultimately what I want to do is use the PCIex16 for GPU and 2 x M.2 SSD slots and SATA_3 and SATA_4 all together at the same time.
