MSI MAG B550M Bazooka Gaming Motherboard (AMD AM4, DDR4, PCIe 4.0, SATA 6Gb/s, M.2, USB 3.2 Gen 1, HDMI/DP, Micro-ATX)

went through a lot of stuff, thought maybe the random reboots was the case so I pulled system ran it out of case still continued to reboot, I was barely able to read the event viewer in windows before it rebooted again said something about reboot and power , so switched out the psu wit hone i know that works everything seemed to be ok so I fired po a game about 10 minutes of playing then same thing happened I checked event viewer it gave me the same thing so I shut down thought maybe it was the brand new ram sticks so i switched both them out with one I know work same thing happened , then it rebooted and was only able to get to the bios for about 4 seconds then rebooted I checked around and on the MSI forums it showed allot of [people having issues with this board some mentioned the Bios so I updated to the latest Bios but the issues continued so I am RMAing this board probably buy a different brand this is the second MSI board I have had the other one is still on my older Intel gaming system. I am not sure whats going on but if i do change brands i will use one that I never have had issues with in decade plus building systems . I will update this after the RMA process, this could just be a board but there are others that are having the same issues

Good mobo. Handles 5600x and updated bios easily. Supports good under voltage. Good temperatures. All around the board itself doesn’t take many shortcuts where necessary, unlike other manufacturers. Recommended for any 6 core CPU, you will be able to max your silicone. Mine did post with a 2000 series Ryzen, and newest bios, as well as the 5600x.

Be sure to have a 240mm aio if running a 5000 series CPU, they get hotter in a more central area on the CPU die, therefore temps are usually higher on 5000 series. Proper tuning on this board and you will be pleased. I tuned volts down from 1.330v stock to a gaming stable 1.18-1.22v at 4.65ghz on the 5600x. I haven’t tried to push more yet but there is still headroom at that voltage.

I recommend this board paired with a 5600x, and adequate cooling. 750 watt PSU, micro case as well.

Gaming temps are around 64-66 degrees at 4.65ghz as well. All core. I undervolted with PBO2.

RECOMMEND this board, lacks some things like optical audio and usb C, or built in WiFi, but… Makes up for it with quality oc tools in bios and decent VRMS.

As I said … small but very powerful MB, accompanied by a Rayzen 5 3600 processor, 32 Gb of ram memory and an MSI Radeon RX 560 graphics card with 4 Gb of memory, it seems that I am driving an F1 supercar, I keep several web pages open, several excel spreadsheets and two or three word sheets, all at the same time exchanging information and data. Ah! and I use a 32 “TV as a monitor, so after a day’s work … the reward is being able to enjoy a good Netflix movie or Pime video.
I am very pleased with the results obtained by the combination of these devices.
In conclusion … I highly recommend this MB.
