ASRock B550M-ITX/AC Supports 3rd Gen AMD AM4 Ryzen™ / Future AMD Ryzen™ Processors motherboard Mini ITX

Before you start building I'd recommend swapping out wifi card with a ax211 or better. I put a ryzen 5 3600 in it, dual ddr4 16gb 3200mhz ram kit in it (32gb total). 500w psu, and a old 3060ti I had laying around in SFF case with handle. CPU and motherboard temp are close in temperature. So if gaming and CPU is around 63c motherboard would be displaying a temp of something like 58c. I'm only mentioning this cause people are saying the thermal plate for motherboard is too small. If you put something crazy on this board like a 4080 with a 5950x 16 core CPU, and 4000+mhz ddr4 ram. I can't say for sure, but I have no doubt that plate would be a problem. Keep in mind this is a budget board, and you shouldn't expect miracles. That being said me and my stepson played WWE 2k24 for hooooouuurrss multiple times on it so far. No issue at all. First time buying a ASRock board as well and the bios and ASRock apps seem kinda crude and dated compared to MSI or ROG, but definitely has everything you need to modify bios, fan speed, rgb etc. I kinda like it. I'm real happy with purchase.

*B550 works with PBO on x3d processors*ARGB connectors*wifi*cheap*ASRock has really earned my respect lately great build quality,I build a SFF in the Fractal Ridge with a 5700X3d, 32gb ddr4, RX6750XT. Overall motherboard handled it all very well. did exactly what I needed it to do. It did require a bios update to get PBO on the X3d but that is normal, it was released after the product was made.

The motherboard is good, and the chipset is B550, so it supports PCIe 4.0, good for ITX builds(TEMPORARY CASE AS MY ITX CASE IS STILL SHIPPING)my one gripe is the shipping company, one corner of the box is mushy and moist/wet.It's a good thing the motherboard itself is okay.

Used this board for a mini ITX build. I think the board is well built, includes the most important headers (no USB C header for case sadly) and has a good BIOS menu with plenty of settings to use XMP and other options. My Ryzen 5 5600x worked out of box and did not require a BIOS update. This board was 100% functional for the first 3 months I had it, then I started to experience blue screens that I could not solve. Finally, after a couple days and a few hours, I figured out that it was a BIOS issue and when I updated the BIOS and cleaned my PC, it worked fine again. I like the board, I think it has exceptional value in a budget board. I hope it continues to work into the future.

NOTE: Comes with the 1.0.0.1 AMD AGESA update, so it supports the Ryzen 5000 series right out of the box.Great mobo for very small PCs. Low profile VRM heatsink makes this unsuitable for high-end, overclocked systems, but excellent for mid-range builds with undervolting/clocking. I personally paired this with a Ryzen 5900X and 3060 Ti in a Velka 7 case. Very solid for 1080p gaming.Does not have a second NVMe slot. Not a big problem if your build prevents you from mounting a heatsink on the back of the mobo anyway.You can swap out the WiFi and BT card; it is attached to the mobo by a screw.Only complaint is that the mobo does not come with an integrated IO shield. Fortunately, popping this one in was not too inconvenient.

Not sure how to rate this, because part of the rating is for the motherboard, and part is for Amazon. I gave 1 star to Amazon and 4 stars to the motherboard. That's an average score of 2.5, which I rounded up to 3.The Amazon PartI got an obviously open-box item instead of the new one I paid for. I won't buy any more computer components from Amazon because of that. That's no way to treat customers.ProsNone that I can see.ConsBad Amazon! No, no, no!The Motherboard PartBooted on the first try, and it seems to be functioning well. I had one blue screen crash, but I had several odd web applications open, and I think that one of them (or the combination thereof) caused the error. Other than that, I've had no problems. I've had good luck with ASRock motherboards (so far), and I tend to stick with a brand that works for me.ProsIt's a good board for a small computer case.Hardware Monitor reports what looks like correct temperatures, which wasn't happening with the motherboard I replaced.ConsNone that I can see.

If you're looking for a budget B550 ITX motherboard, this is it. Mine came with the BIOS updated to support the Ryzen 5000 series. Can't really say much; it's just a nice motherboard. The only negative I can mention is that it comes with the older Wi-Fi 5, but considering it's a budget motherboard, I can't complain about that. Highly recommend!

I rarely feel the need to leave a review for a product, but the people have to be warned. This board has terrible power delivery, and will leave you frustrated.I'm not running a lot of high power items from this board, but it seems to fry every time I plug everything into it. I have 3 case fans and CPU fan, an RX 6400 and 5600G processor and a USB 3 header. It is all running off an 80+ bronze power supply rated at 550. You could run all these components off about half that wattage. 1st Board immediately gave off an electrical burning smell upon first boot and never powered on. After bread-boarding, I sent the board back to amazon for a replacement. The second board managed to last until I could not send it back, then, after an upgrade, and connecting my USB 3.0 header, I smell electrical burning and it will no longer power on.I've been building PCs since 1999, and know the allure of an inexpensive motherboard. I have used plenty of affordable motherboards in my time and very rarely had issues, but this is definitely the exception. do yourself a favor and buy something else.
