AM4 Socket DDR4 Platform for Ryzen 5000
The MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI is an ATX motherboard built around the AMD B550 chipset for AM4 socket processors. It supports Ryzen 5000, 5000 G, 4000 G and 3000 series CPUs with a 10+2+1 duet rail power system and dual channel DDR4 memory up to 5100 OC across four 288 pin slots. Maximum capacity reaches 128 GB.
Builders Needing PCIe 4.0 M.2 and 2.5G LAN
This board suits builders who want a single PCIe 4.0 x16 slot, two M.2 connectors with thermal shielding, six SATA 6Gb/s ports and integrated Wi-Fi 6E plus 2.5G Ethernet. Users requiring more than one full speed PCIe 4.0 x16 slot or a newer AM5 platform should consider other chipsets.
One PCIe 4.0 x16 Slot Decides GPU Bandwidth
The chipset provides a single PCIe 4.0 x16 connection for the primary graphics card. If your build demands two graphics cards at 4.0 x16 or x8/x8 electrical lanes, this motherboard cannot deliver that configuration.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box with the MAG B550 TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI and what do I need to buy separately?
The board ships with the ATX motherboard, I/O shield, SATA cables and driver disc. You must supply an AM4 processor, DDR4 memory modules, storage drives, a graphics card if your CPU lacks integrated graphics, a compatible ATX case, power supply and CPU cooler.
Which memory capacity should I choose for this board?
Four DDR4 slots support up to 128 GB total. Populate two slots first for dual-channel operation; add the other two later only if your workload needs more than 64 GB.
What does the 2400 Mbps Wi-Fi 6E figure mean in daily use?
That is the peak PHY rate on the 6 GHz band under ideal conditions. Real-world throughput will be lower and depends on router capability, distance, interference and client device support.
