MSI B550M Pro-VDH vs ASUS Prime B550M-K for R5 5600

notcredible · Wednesday at 3:52 PM

Hi all.

I finally bought the R5 5600 over i3 10100F. Currently, i have Prime B460M-K but as u guys can guess, i need an AM4 Motherboard.

I did some research about B450 vs B550. B450 is cheaper but B550 series got 2 M.2 slots, 4 RAM slots, better cooling and better VRM performance for R5 5600.

Prices in my country:

MSI B550: between 80-100$. Right now, 81$.
ASUS B550: between 87-101$.

I am open to all advices.

One thing about MSI is that they have a nice Memory program in the BIOS. You can do about 30 different Memory Configs with the MSI board. If you don't need WIFI you could save about $30.

I don't need Wi-Fi.

One more good thing about MSI is having BIOS Flashback. That's life saving feature for me. I don't have any AMD CPU to upgrade BIOS before i install R5 5600 thanks to that feature..

I'm mostly on the MSI side but i wanted to hear some other ideas. Thanks.

The thing is that all AM5 boards have BIOS flashback.

I have both MSI and Asus B550 boards, and I personally prefer MSI's UEFI interface.
