Bad VRMs
Be careful if you take this motherboard, there are only 4 pins for the CPU power supply.
This shouldn't be a problem with a 65W TDP processor, which is what I've got, but VRMs heat up a lot anyway.
The ASRock B550M-HDV motherboard is designed to accommodate AMD Ryzen 3rd generation processors on socket AM4. It will allow the assembly of a powerful and versatile configuration capable of performing all tasks.
Micro ATX Socket AM4 AMD B550 motherboard - 2x DDR4 - SATA 6Gb/s M.2 PCI-E NVMe - USB 3.0 - PCI-Express 4.0 16x
The ASRock B550M-HDV motherboard is designed to host AMD Ryzen 3rd generation processors on socket AM4. It will allow the assembly of a powerful and versatile configuration capable of performing all tasks. Gaming, streaming, intensive multitasking, multimedia creation, it is the ideal solution to design a high-end PC with high performance. It also supports DDR4 RAM, PCI-Express 4.0 16x graphics cards, SATA 6 Gb/s and M.2 PCI-E NVMe drives, and USB 3.0 devices.
The AMD Ryzen 3000 processors are among the first PC processors to be etched in 7nm and are PCIe 4.0 compatible. The third generation Ryzen, codenamed Matisse, impresses with its many cores and threads and very high base frequencies ! AMD's Ryzen 3000 offers a (re)discovery of high-end performance for gaming, content creation and intensive multitasking. They allow you to do EVERYTHING even faster and more fluidly.

Be careful if you take this motherboard, there are only 4 pins for the CPU power supply.
This shouldn't be a problem with a 65W TDP processor, which is what I've got, but VRMs heat up a lot anyway.
Used to assemble a cheap PC for web browsing; fulfils its role perfectly. Basic but quality motherboard.
Perfect for running 3rd-generation Ryzen, while benefiting from PCIe 4.0.
Minor drawbacks:
- the SATA connectors are underneath the graphics card once it's installed. You therefore have to remove the card to get proper access to the connectors.
- The BIOS doesn't automatically detect the type of RAM strip I have (DDR4 2133 detected instead of 2400), so I have to specify it manually. It should be noted that my machine seems to work correctly even with a slightly low RAM frequency, RAMs probably having a certain tolerance, but in a non-optimal way.
for a reasonable price, this motherboard does the job very well. being loyal to MSi, this more economical choice doesn't compromise on quality. very favourably impressed.
There's nothing missing for office use: RAM, hard drives, networking and USB. Only Wifi fans will be disappointed.
