- Does this board support Ryzen 5000 out of the box?
- Most units ship with a BIOS new enough for Ryzen 5000, but older stock may need a BIOS update. Check the BIOS version or use a board with USB BIOS Flashback if you buy a 5000-series chip.
- Can I use a Ryzen 9 with it?
- It will boot, but the board has no VRM heatsinks and is rated for modest power draw. A Ryzen 9 under sustained load is likely to throttle, so stick to Ryzen 3 or Ryzen 5.
- How much RAM can it take?
- Two DDR4 slots, up to 64 GB in practice, with speeds up to 4733 MHz in overclocking mode. Standard kits at 3200 or 3600 MHz are the sensible choice.
- Does it have Wi-Fi or Bluetooth?
- No. Networking is a single RJ45 LAN port, so add a USB or PCIe Wi-Fi card if you need wireless.
- What is in the box?
- The board, a SATA cable, the I/O shield and documentation. It does not include a CPU, cooler or memory.
- Is it worth it over a B550M Pro4?
- The Pro4 adds a second M.2 slot, VRM heatsinks and more USB, and is the better pick for a Ryzen 7. This board makes sense only for a minimal, low-power build.
