Pros & Cons
Pros
Best part is the bios was only 2 mos old. Enabling * load in bios fixed this issue. But spamming the f12 button doesn't bother me.
The b550m is a great motherboard for the price. It has two chassis fan headers and one cpu fan/pump header. It still has one 12v rgb header and one 5v arb header.
Gigabyte makes boards that are durable and reliable. They are sturdy; good quality boards. The usability on this board is absolutely amazing.
Cons
Upon powering up monitor gives me a screen that clearly states, no video signal. Poor tech support practices and insecure and non standard requests for my os password is so beyond cringe. Trying to reset the bios is like pulling teeth.
Highlights
Quality
Running 140fps to 299 fps on major aaa titles with the 1660 sc 8gb from zotac for the build.
These gaming boards sure make a good desktop setup, be sure to flash the bios with the correct bios version for your cpu chip.
Oh yes, you need to update the bios for this processor (with the version i ordered), not sure about now.
Shipping
They are so fast and make anything you run on them smooth.
Packaging/appearance
It's windows 11 compatible right out of the box.
2, built-in wi-fi, and both a pciex4 and pciex1 when other motherboards double down on the pciex1.
Competitiveness
Pairing it with a ryzen 5 5600x and rx 6700 xt.
I put a ryzen 9 on it; haven't had any lags or slow latency.
Not so fancy and compatible with my old ddr4 3000 aegis, had to upgrade to the 3200mhz kits.
I wanted a ryzen 5 5600g processor.

So if you’re planning to use it with a 5000 generation or above you will need to update bios with and old gen
