Bought for a first time build, which went together with no problems whatsoever, it works perfectly. Always a great, professional service from CCL, highly recommended.

Fantastic little board. Good bridge between the a boards and the x570, I've run into no performance issues when using this at all. OC settings made things really easy to play around with also. Installation was surprisingly easy considering it's an mATX. The primary M.2 drive is out in the open, and the secondary is behind a styled metal plate. Handily, the metal plate for the secondary one has a bonding strip on the back also to hold it in place (M.2) and fits the the board with 2 screws. 4 SATA ports (minus 1 for each M.2 you use, as standard) and they are well placed away from the GPU general area, so no need to worry about forfeiting drives for GPU power. Speaking of GPU, the board has plenty of space underneath the PCI slot for your general I/O headers, UBS, HD Audio etc. The design on the packaging makes the board look aggressively styled, but out the box, it's pleasantly clean and well styled. The head spreaders are a nice simple metal finish, and the accents aren't over the top. In addition to that, the on board RGB light is not too bright or garish, instead it lets of a subtle amount of light, and compliments any other RGB systems you may have in place. Using the Armoury Crate software is easy and quick to set up, I don't tend to go for anything over the top, so setting the Mobo RGB header, the Wraith Prism RGB header and the 2 strips was as easy as 3 clicks. No need to go back in unless changing it, and you can also flip it between the TUF and the ROG interfaces, whichever one pleases you. Overall, I would have likely gotten it's big brother (the ATX version), but I'm not disappointed with this board. One of the better mATX boards I've seen , and would highly recommend as a result.

Dead simple setup for a novice like myself. I've not had any problems when combined with a 3700X.

I choose this board over x570 due a bit cheaper and doesn't have additional fan. Otherwise can do a bit of overclocking too. Also this is an old style good looking board! This was the first time I build PC with my daughter. Cable management was so easy and clear for her on this mobo. Compare to its mATX format it has everything you need, even surprised how many ports and connection it has. Especially flashy RGB. Don't have a second heat sink cover for NVME though you probably will use it for PCIe 4.0. Otherwise its a good quality gaming base what will support Ryzen 3000-4000 and "maybe 5000" series CPUs. Also would mention that this is an old style good looking board!

It took me three years to finally shift back from laptop gaming (I'm using ROG GL553 Series) to desktop gaming, and this is because of this B550M-Plus Motherboard. Believing that it is better than X570 boards, I was confindent how easy it would be to set up my new rig using the B550M board. I wasn't disappointed. In fact, I am very much pleased and satisfied with how it has given my rig a not-so-flashy, but elegant, classic look. This product is really one of the best purchases I have done.

Olu Odaranile

July 2020

Very easy to install and easy to use Mobo. Pros: Well spaced SATA ports, not blocked by GPU Well spaced out board for mATX, plenty of room to work with No flashing required for 3rd Gen Ryzen RGB headers well placed, and on board lighting is nice Plenty of USB ports! Cons: No space for Crossfire as advertised on thicker cards (Blocks 2nd PCI Slot) 2nd M.2 installation required removal of GPU first. (If already installed) To be honest, really happy with this. Chose this board over an X570 due to update time and future support for CPU's. Very happy with performance and look!
