AM4 Socket Board for Ryzen Builders

This Micro ATX motherboard uses the AMD B550 chipset and AM4 socket to support 3rd Gen Ryzen processors. A BIOS update may be required before installing a Ryzen 5000 series CPU. Four DDR4 slots accept up to 128 GB of memory in dual-channel mode. It suits compact gaming or workstation builds.

PCIe 4.0 and 3.0 Limits on One Board

The primary x16 slot runs at PCIe 4.0 x16 when a 3rd Gen Ryzen CPU is installed. A second x16 slot operates at PCIe 3.0 x4 from the chipset. One PCIe 3.0 x1 slot is also available. Two M.2 slots provide storage expansion; the first supports PCIe 4.0 x4, the second PCIe 3.0 x4. Both also accept SATA M.2 drives.

128 GB DDR4 Maximum Memory Capacity

The board supports 128 GB across four slots with speeds up to 4600 MHz overclocked on 3rd Gen Ryzen and 4800 MHz overclocked on next-gen Ryzen PRO. Native JEDEC speeds reach 3200 MHz. This ceiling determines whether the platform fits high-capacity workloads or heavy multitasking.

Highlights

  • Supports up to 128GB DDR4 memory via four 288-pin slots
  • PCIe 4.0 x16 slot for high-bandwidth graphics with 3rd Gen Ryzen CPUs
  • Dual M.2 slots including one PCIe 4.0 x4 and one PCIe 3.0 x4 for fast storage

Questions about this item

Should I pick a Ryzen 5000 CPU or a Ryzen 3000 CPU for this board?

The board supports both 3rd Gen and Zen 3 Ryzen 5000 series CPUs, but a BIOS update may be required before a 5000 series processor will post.

What does the 2.5 Gbps LAN figure mean for my actual network speed?

The Realtek RTL8125B controller caps wired throughput at 2.5 Gbps, so transfers over a 2.5 GbE switch or router can reach roughly 300 MB/s in ideal conditions.

Which M.2 slot gives me PCIe 4.0 x4 bandwidth for an NVMe drive?

The M.2_1 slot connected to the CPU provides PCIe 4.0 x4, while the M.2_2 slot from the chipset runs at PCIe 3.0 x4.
