Pretty much the same performance as Ryzen 5 5600G (with PBO +200 Mhz override)

Facts prove that this is the most powerful game-specific CPU at present. Under the 1080p image quality, the frame rate of the CPU can make rtx4090 a bottleneck, and the game performance is beyond everyone's imagination. However, the disadvantage is that it is not suitable for office work. The power consumption is very high, the standby state will be as high as about 80w, and the memory controller is very average, and the frequency of the memory stick can only reach about 6000mhz.

- Plenty of M2 slots - Easy release for PCIE - Easy release on M2 shields - Onboard diagnostic LCD screen a plus at this price range - Option to disable USB4 functionality in exchange for being able to run the M.2_2 slot at full speed. - Good value for 870

Got this to replace a Ryzen 5600 system. Noticeable speed increase and runs cooler too. Using it mostly for video file playback and it doesn't chug on 8K or high bit-rate 4K content. Got it on sale so the price was right. A good option for a starter gaming PC.

Great performance Stellar fps in all games


-Motherboard does have RGB -Several connection ports for those with several accessories to plug in directly to the motherboard or the the back panel. -No tools required M.2 SSDs ports. -Easy bios flash feature

Lots of SATA ports, features, fan connections, ram support, etc.

-Low power vs the previous generations -Both great gaming and multicore performance -Plenty of IO -Doesn't kill itself like raptor lake -Very tame voltages -Super responsive even vs raptor lake which on paper these should be about the same. -iGPU have av1 encoding so frees my actual gpu for other stuff -Stable and no strange bugs or issues

Reliable Easy to Install

- Worked perfectly. - Looks rugged and tough... TUF* - Easy release PCIe 5 port lever. Really awesome, never had that before. You do not need a microscope attached to your phone to release the GPU.


The best thermal in the cpu market, drop my cpu temp 10c now idle@28c and 40c full load, this is a real great thermal paste

- Purchased to used with the Ryzen 7 5700G, Works great. - Also Purchased the Ripjaws DDR-4000, 16-16-16 timing, works great with this RAM\CPU combo, pulling 60fps in Guild Wars 2 @ High Settings, 900p, with just the processors built in GPU, couldn't be happier. -Frame rate is very stable never drops below 60fps, with vsync off, its getting 65fps - 85fps in Guild Wars 2, vsync seems to really help with my 60hz monitor, so I leave it on.

The MSI PRO B550M-VC worked well out of the box with a Ryzen 5700G (with onboard Radeon graphics). No BIOS flashing was required. I'm also running F4-3600C16-8GVKC RAM (3600 CL16) using the XMP profile, again w/o issues. SATA and M.2 are working with 2 M.2 SSDs and 8 hard drives.

- 3x M.2 (separate one for Wi-Fi module) - No gap between top PCIe and M.2, so GPU fits into top slot of PC case - Expo (XMP) was enable and go for my G.SKILL Trident Z5 Neo RGB Series (AMD Expo) DDR5 RAM 64GB (2x32GB) 6000MT/s CL30-40-40-96 1.40V Kit - Had no VRM coil whine, results may vary though reading through other reviews

It worked right away and even let me apply the expo settings to set the optimal speed and it just works.

MSI products have always worked well for me and this motherboard is great just like the others I have used for my builds in the past.

This thing is packed with features, lots of high power consumption consideration (considering it's an OC Monster). Tons of ease and quality of life features like the EZ PCI-E Release, the M.2 quick release hold downs, and white peripherals.

- PCI-E 5.0 support on the x16 slot for current gen GPU's that use 5.0 - 3 m.2 slots for easy expansion - Lots of IO for fans, rgb, USB, ect, more than 99% of people will ever use - Moveable antena for the wifi/bluetooth is nice (my previous board had just 2 that stuck out and couldn't be moved, so it sometime struggled to pick up my bluetooth keyboard) - I got it for a pretty good deal for a B850 board that won't blow up CPUs - 10$ steam code included with purchase is a nice bonus - I really liked the mounting mechanism for the 4x4 m.2 slot, it's easy to use and removes the need to mess around with tiny screws - WiFi 7 & 5 gig lan at this price point is really nice
