- M.2 installation is easy and the heatsinks seem pretty nice - remember to take the film off before you put them on though, I almost didn't notice it was there - Can run a graphics card at PCIE5 16x and still use 4 M.2 SSDs and a sound card at 4x each (and then have another PCIE 4x slot still available for whatever else someone could possibly use one for) - All of the SATA ports, M.2 slots, the main + bottom PCIE slot, and the 2 main RAM slots are all perfectly functioning (which is unfortunately uncommon in my experience) - The BIOS has a ton of options for the CPU and RAM power delivery and clock rates, more than I can remember on any other motherboard I've used - Look at how many USB ports it has!

Everything works as advertised. MSI BIOS is clean and intuitive. I like the M.2 built-in thermal paste.


Allows 16x pcie 5 in main slot and 4x pcie 4 on second. Perfect if you need extra vram but dont want to sacrifice the makn gou performance or go enthusiast builds.

I’m dumb and it was easy.

Plenty of expansion onboard No shortage of USB ports

CPU power connecters in the upper-right instead of upper-left Plenty of connections for everything I need Looks good Toolless NVMe install I'm a fan of MSI BIOS features & design

- Cost - Features - Thunderbolt at 40 GBPS - WIN - M.2 slots

ASRock is Taiwanese and this was made in Vietnam; very high quality product for the price it was insane, built in heatsinks for 3 m.2 drives, am5 platform with great wifi and usb lan etc connectivity, pcie 5 option formain m.2, just great reliability rating since I trust that ASRock will continue to make the bios and mobo documentation so easy to use.

Words can't express how amazing this motherboard is. It is absolutely stunning and powerful.


-Components have plenty of room to breath -Dark Color of the mother is great for Blackout builds

A strong, affordable pickup for a mobo of its kind. Very easy to set up. Very well designed allowing for ease of build. Has every function that most would look for in a mobo for gaming.

The board is ready for the next step in storage and is also full of backwards compatible connections. Setup was easy and support was also available.

Ideal form factor if you plan it out. Has 8 SATA ports 16x Bifurcation on PCIe slot 1. I haven't set this up yet, but I intend to in the future

Replaced a perfectly good x470 ATX motherboard with the B550 Aorus PRo V2 in my personal workstation.... just because I wanted too! Sort of the last hurrah for the AMD4 socketed 5900X to help it reach its potential. Only thing new in this computer was this motherboard as all other parts came off the x470 board. System booted right back up into KUbuntu 22.04 Linux. Boot off of a 1TB M.2 PCIe SSD, while /home is located on another 1TB M.2 PCIe SSD drive, with a 1TB SATA SSD as miscellaneous disk space. Gotta love Linux -- no fiddling with drivers. No tweaking necessary other than the normal things I do in BIOS. I disable turbo boost as not needed (system is plenty fast without it). Enable SVM for VMs and enable the XMP memory file to run the 64GB of DD4 at rated speed. I then updated BIOS to the latest version as Gigabyte website highly 'suggested' I should. So far running quiet and solid. Temps are excellent. Sound works, NVidia GPU continues to work, ethernet works, USB ports work.

As the title says-great hardware

Board well laid out, parts easily installed.

Beautiful mobo, everything has been thought of to make building east and beautiful at the same time

I was so impressed by how easy it was to assemble this and also the price was very affordable. Great working motherboard processor combination super fast. I put a 50 series RTX card on it. Its a nice new DDR five and 1000 W power supply. The machine works killer Very impressed.
