ASRockB550M-ITX/AC Supports 3rd Gen AMD AM4 Ryzen™ / Future AMD Ryzen™ Processors motherboard Mini ITX

*B550 works with PBO on x3d processors*ARGB connectors*wifi*cheap*ASRock has really earned my respect lately great build quality,I build a SFF in the Fractal Ridge with a 5700X3d, 32gb ddr4, RX6750XT. Overall motherboard handled it all very well. did exactly what I needed it to do. It did require a bios update to get PBO on the X3d but that is normal, it was released after the product was made.

Before you start building I'd recommend swapping out wifi card with a ax211 or better. I put a ryzen 5 3600 in it, dual ddr4 16gb 3200mhz ram kit in it (32gb total). 500w psu, and a old 3060ti I had laying around in SFF case with handle. CPU and motherboard temp are close in temperature. So if gaming and CPU is around 63c motherboard would be displaying a temp of something like 58c. I'm only mentioning this cause people are saying the thermal plate for motherboard is too small. If you put something crazy on this board like a 4080 with a 5950x 16 core CPU, and 4000+mhz ddr4 ram. I can't say for sure, but I have no doubt that plate would be a problem. Keep in mind this is a budget board, and you shouldn't expect miracles. That being said me and my stepson played WWE 2k24 for hooooouuurrss multiple times on it so far. No issue at all. First time buying a ASRock board as well and the bios and ASRock apps seem kinda crude and dated compared to MSI or ROG, but definitely has everything you need to modify bios, fan speed, rgb etc. I kinda like it. I'm real happy with purchase.

Worked great after that. Nice, Simple little board! I had to flash it with a 3600 or 3700 processor. Takes about 5 min to flash, wireless worked decent. BIOS menus are clean, no frills. Keep in mind it takes about a minute 1st boot to post with new cpu. If you don't get video after a minute, its not coming up. With good BIOS+CPU powers up in that time. MB Does NOT have USB-C "flat" double edge connector female mount.

This motherboard is not a brand new item. This is an open item and also missing manual & CD-ROM. During P.O.S.T there's an BIOS error 98. During OS boot after install , there's an ACPI errors observed . There's a bug in the firmware or hardware problem.

Used this board for a mini ITX build. I think the board is well built, includes the most important headers (no USB C header for case sadly) and has a good BIOS menu with plenty of settings to use XMP and other options. My Ryzen 5 5600x worked out of box and did not require a BIOS update. This board was 100% functional for the first 3 months I had it, then I started to experience blue screens that I could not solve. Finally, after a couple days and a few hours, I figured out that it was a BIOS issue and when I updated the BIOS and cleaned my PC, it worked fine again. I like the board, I think it has exceptional value in a budget board. I hope it continues to work into the future.

There aren't a lot of mini-ITX AM4 motherboards.Major downside is the single M.2 NVMe slot but for the price it was worth it.

The itx motherboard for its price is pretty good considering the offerings it gives to the consumer, excellent placement of fan connectors, cpu fan, sata, and more but it has a non reinforced pcie connection, along with a very dubious spot for the cmos jumper, and mine didn't come with cmos jumps even on it.

Not sure how to rate this, because part of the rating is for the motherboard, and part is for Amazon. I gave 1 star to Amazon and 4 stars to the motherboard. That's an average score of 2.5, which I rounded up to 3.The Amazon PartI got an obviously open-box item instead of the new one I paid for. I won't buy any more computer components from Amazon because of that. That's no way to treat customers.ProsNone that I can see.ConsBad Amazon! No, no, no!The Motherboard PartBooted on the first try, and it seems to be functioning well. I had one blue screen crash, but I had several odd web applications open, and I think that one of them (or the combination thereof) caused the error. Other than that, I've had no problems. I've had good luck with ASRock motherboards (so far), and I tend to stick with a brand that works for me.ProsIt's a good board for a small computer case.Hardware Monitor reports what looks like correct temperatures, which wasn't happening with the motherboard I replaced.ConsNone that I can see.
