          I have the x570 taichi, it's a decent board and I haven't had any issues with it in the past 7 months.

          You should have bought the ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming X from the deal I posted 4 months ago ($449) https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/516782

      I'm glad I picked up a B450 Tomahawk recently and didn't wait for these as almost $100 extra for benefits I don't care about (PCIe 4, extra M.2, better onboard Audio)

      • NotAnAudiophile on 20/06/2020 - 09:49

        Yup stick with b450 or upgrade to x570, not the b550. They can all support ryzen 3 series anyway .

        • humbala on 20/06/2020 - 12:31

          Funny how lot of YouTube review praise this board as the best middle ground.

          I do think I don't need everything from x570 (hate the chipset fan) but the Aussie tax on this is too much

      • Budju on 20/06/2020 - 10:13

        It has 2.5G lan which is a pretty good feature.

          how so? do you have other 2.5gb devices and a 2.5g switch?

    • TilacVIP on 20/06/2020 - 13:25

      Just goes to show, in my opinion, we won't see any significant price drops in the Zen 2 CPU's (at least the low priced like the 3600) like most people are thinking when Zen 3 is launched.

    Agreed B550 is overpriced for this generation. Numerous you tubers have already stated buying the x570 is a better value proposition.

  • Atziluth on 20/06/2020 - 09:57

    B450 version is available for 208 shipped

    • latenight on 21/06/2020 - 17:46

      Where from to get it at 208?

  • davidl820 on 20/06/2020 - 10:06

    This is price is pretty much for an entry level X570.

    • Budju on 20/06/2020 - 10:08
      +3

      It has better featurs than most x570 so I guess it's fair. Prices will drop over the coming months as this is basically day 1 price.

      • NotAnAudiophile on 20/06/2020 - 10:20

        Which is why x570 is a better buy now. You tubers tested both and found that x570 performed better in speed tests.

      • buffalo bill on 20/06/2020 - 10:22

        in what way is b550 better than x570 of equivalent series?

        • Kingduytan on 20/06/2020 - 10:29
          +3

          If comparing the same series, X570 will be obviously better, but also cost ~$100 more (X570 Tomahawk ~$400). B550 doesn't have the chipset fan so to me that's a huge plus.

          With that said, a 20% sales on this board will be very good value. $310 is pretty much MSRP.

          • NotAnAudiophile on 20/06/2020 - 10:33

            @Kingduytan: Also have to consider the features. Many mid end x570 boards have wifi 6 built in which is important for some. This b550 doesn’t have it.

          • buffalo bill on 20/06/2020 - 10:43

            @Kingduytan: I agree the chipset fan omission is a plus for the B550.

      • davidl820 on 20/06/2020 - 10:33

        Other than better VRM I can't see how it has better features or future proof than x570.

        The 2.5G Lan may sound great but unless you are transferring huge files all the time, it is not a big deal for most PC users I would say.

    • Kingduytan on 20/06/2020 - 10:24

      It also have better VRMs than many entry X570 (or put it the other way, many entry level X570 sucks). Gotta choose wisely if pair with 3900X/3950X.

  • Mr Magoo on 20/06/2020 - 10:43

    Could someone share some light on the new 550 boards compared to the 570? What I've looked up is there isn't too much difference and the consensus is the 570 is better.

    • NotAnAudiophile on 20/06/2020 - 10:45
      +1

      basically look at the breakdown of the product stack from manufacturers to see how it is positioned. for MSI as an example, only X570 has GodLike and ACE boards on the high end, while B550 is limited to Tomahawk and Mortar (mid end).

    • Budju on 20/06/2020 - 10:48

      You would hope that the top of the line beats the middle of the line. But not all x570 are good and not all are competitively priced. These will come down in future.

      • NotAnAudiophile on 20/06/2020 - 10:51

        Correct. some X570s are shit too, like the Gaming Edge WIFI. Myself, i had to go for at least mid end X570 as i needed the features (Wifi 6, separate DAC etc). Still, its better than the Z490 boards, Intel doesn't even support PCIE 4.0 natively.

    • Void on 20/06/2020 - 13:04

      Apparently B550 is better than X570 due to the improvements manufacturers have made to their VRM solutions. I could be wrong though. I wouldn't recommend either, as AMD are going to change sockets for Ryzen 5000 and PCIe 4.0 is useless (unless you need bandwidth) as it stands. B550 is really expensive too.

    • stingyAF on 20/06/2020 - 14:25

      This video was pretty good imo. Worth a watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8d4C80Ub_o&t=857s. Personally I'm hanging onto my CPU and MOBO until DDR5 is out.

      • squall3031 on 20/06/2020 - 17:42

        Yeah, I had the same opinion too. Better wait for DDR5 to come out.

  • noise36 on 20/06/2020 - 10:49

    Normal price is $309

    Whats this insanity that a midrange boards cost 300$ + ???

    • TilacVIP on 20/06/2020 - 13:29
      +1

      Same reason the MSI B450 Tomahawk Max was selling for about $175 before the C-19 sh!te hit th fan, and is now well over $200.

      I'm sure when these are in full swing production, you'll pick them up for less.

      • superuser on 20/06/2020 - 15:23

        The question is when?

        • Budju on 21/06/2020 - 12:01

          I think if you hunt around you can find for sub $180, maybe not delivered.

  • dajackal on 20/06/2020 - 13:17

    Not worth over B450 boards

  • Phoebus on 20/06/2020 - 14:01

    I'll wait for the B650

    • Budju on 21/06/2020 - 14:22

      Better off waiting for the B750 as that will have a new socket.

  • mordinhoz on 21/06/2020 - 12:20

    Got a MSI b450 gaming plus matx board, should I upgrade to this?

    • jztilly on 21/06/2020 - 12:24

      Does the new board have any features you want/need?

        rgb lol

        • Budju on 21/06/2020 - 17:51

          are you running a 3900x or above with a 2080Ti? If so you should consider this or an X570. If not, what you have will probably be just fine.

          • mordinhoz on 21/06/2020 - 18:07

            @Budju: Running 3700x with 2070S.

            • Budju on 21/06/2020 - 20:29

              @mordinhoz: Nice rig, similar to mine. I wouldn't bother upgrading until 2022.

    Price dropped, now $303.20

    • Budju on 23/06/2020 - 18:47

      I notice the B550 mortar also $287.20 now. I wonder if it holds up as well as the B450 mortar did.
