Full featured Budget MOBO

ASRock B550 Phantom Gaming 4 AM4 AMD B550 ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: lots of ports for a budget Mobo PCI gen 4 looks good (neutral color theme ) recognized my rams XMP profile and ran it without problems

Cons: budget VRMs and cooling (not that it maters if you are not an avid over clocker , I think it will handle my 5600x just fine no usb 3.2 gen 2

Overall Review: great budget mobo , solid build quality , lots of ports and sockets , one thing to note is that even though I got it with bios 1.1 (doesn't support Ryzen 5000) it posted just fine with my 5600x , couldn't go to windows though , but since it posted I Could update the bios and then boot into windows , basically you don't need an older cpu to update the bios , 5000 series will get you into the bios

a shame they are no longer in buisness

Pros: very fast Processor , enough cores and threads huge uplift coming from 4690K even in open windows update settings , let alone games and emulators

Cons: you can find I7s cheaper sometimes

Overall Review: highly recommended , AMD is back in the game and it delivered on its promises
