Socket AM4 DDR4 platform
The MSI MEG B550 UNIFY-X is an ATX motherboard built on the AMD B550 chipset for Socket AM4 processors. It supports AMD Ryzen 5000 and 3000 Series desktop CPUs, plus Ryzen 4000 G-Series chips. The board runs dual-channel DDR4 memory from 1866 up to 5300 MHz with a maximum capacity of 64 GB.
Bundled accessories and their effect
The package includes the motherboard, a CMOS battery, one SATA cable and a chassis I/O back panel. A WiFi antenna is supplied only when the board has an integrated WiFi module. No other accessories or software are included, so you must source any additional cables, mounting hardware or operating system media separately.
Compatibility checks before ordering
Verify that your CPU is a supported Ryzen 5000, 3000 or 4000 G-Series model; the 3400G and 3200G are explicitly not compatible. Confirm your power supply provides the required ATX and CPU power connectors for this board. Ensure your chassis fits an ATX form factor and that you have the necessary M.2 or SATA storage devices for the available interfaces.

Questions about this item
Does the board ship with a fresh CMOS battery, or will I need to replace it soon?
A new CMOS battery is included in the box, so no immediate replacement is required.
Which PCIe slot becomes the bandwidth bottleneck when a high-end GPU and multiple M.2 drives run together?
The chipset-linked PCIe 3.0 x16 slot runs at x4 speed, so it limits throughput before the CPU-linked PCIe 4.0 x16 slot does.
How warm does the Realtek RTL8125B 2.5Gbps LAN controller get during all-day transfers?
The controller is rated for continuous 2.5 Gbps operation without active cooling, so temperatures stay within normal limits under sustained load.
