MSI PRO B550-P GEN3

Affordable and compact motherboard from MSI, based on the budget AMD B550 chipset. Included in the 2022 MSI PRO product line, most of which belong to the workhorse class. In their production, MSI strives to keep the final cost as low as possible, but not at the expense of quality. For example, the circuitry of the board uses durable heat-resistant capacitors, reinforced textolite and power switches with low heat dissipation, and the board itself has passed additional stress tests.

At the same time, it is equipped with a rather modest 6-phase power subsystem by today's standards, which makes it not the best choice for a powerful gaming or work build with a lot of RAM and a powerful Ryzen 7/9 level processor. According to the manufacturer, the optimal scenario for the MSI PRO B550-P GEN3 will be to use it as part of an office work machine or a home multimedia PC with a video card built into the processor, which does not require miracles in terms of overclocking and performance.

With dedicated HDMI and DVI-D ports, it can stream directly from the built-in Radeon Vega video core in Ryzen processors. Equipped with four slots for DDR4 RAM with a maximum frequency of 4400 MHz. The maximum possible amount of RAM is 128 GB (4x32 GB with support for XMP technology). There are six classic SATA3 connectors for installing drives and one modern M.2 port for installing a fast and compact SSD drive.
