Seems to be well reviewed, great feature set for it's price or good for a backup.

Should be a decent board for budget gamers who might look to pair it with the Ryzen 5600.

It's also on some lists to fit in a NR200/P if you want to try and dodge the ITX tax.

Chipset: B550 - Socket: AM4 - Memory: 2x DDR4 DIMM Slots (Max 64GB, 4733+ OC) - Expansion Slots: PCIe 4.0 x16, PCIe 3.0 x1 - Storage: 4x SATA3, Hyper M.2 (PCIe Gen4 x4 & SATA3) - I/O: 6x USB 3.2 Gen1, D-Sub, DVI-D, HDMI - Realtek RTL8111H Gigabit LAN - Realtek ALC887 Audio - Form Factor: Micro-ATX

    Wow. Perfect timing. I've been looking at other b550m boards and I keep struggling to find something that runs the 5600 and can fit in the nr200

      Mother board for Mother’s Day?
      She will love it

        underrated comment.
        thank you for this

      This will not fit in the NR200. You need an ITX board.

    This Asrock board looks like the most basic motherboard you could get :)
    Get yourself the Gigabyte B550M gaming for $89 it at least has some vrm cooling and bios flashback if needed for trouble shooting with new CPUs

      Are these from umart the same thing? https://www.umart.com.au/product/gigabyte-b550m-h-am4-matx-m…

      It would be smart paying $10 more for the B550 Gaming

        Is it worth it to pay 20 bucks extra for a board like this? https://www.amazon.com.au/Gigabyte-B550M-AORUS-Micro-ATX-Mot…

        I don't understand the importance of VRM, but I'm hoping to run a 5600 on the aerocool cs107 case.

        • HomeAlone on 08/05/2022 - 02:53

          Either one is perfectly capable of handling a 5600.

          The heatsink designs differ, but the actual VRM components on B550M Gaming and B550M Aorus Elite are identical so in that regard it really doesn't matter which one you go with.

          Here are the things I would be considering when deciding between the two.

          • The B550M Aorus Elite has 2x M.2 slots, 4x memory slots and a couple extra USB ports at the back.

          • The B550M Gaming has a PCIe x1 slot above the x16 slot. Useful if you want to add some type of internal card (e.g. WiFi) as you'll be able to do it without restricting airflow to GPU.

          • Wonderfool on 08/05/2022 - 11:11

            @HomeAlone: Thanks, gaming X it is. I've unfortunately got a 3 slot gpu, so the extra pcie will be useful.

        • vid_ghost on 08/05/2022 - 08:46

          Better VRM means your CPU power usage/load is better managed and the CPU runs cooler uses less power to run.. this also means your PC overall will draw less power. A 12 phase VRM will be more energy efficant then a 4 phase but you do pay more up front for that.

          Some lower end boards with 4 phase vrm would be running an overclocked ryzen 5900x at 90c+ even with a great cooler.

            @vid_ghost: No

            The VRM doesn't affect CPU temperature, and it's impact on power consumption will not be measurable.

            An overheating VRM will not provide stable voltage to the CPU, which will make the CPU unstable.

            A lower end board running a 5900x would overheat - the board - not the CPU.

            VRM is either good enough, or it isn't. Using a 12 phase VRM on a 5600x isn't going to make it run any better or cooler than a 6 phase VRM.

            A 4 phase VRM with proper heatsinks can suffice, without heatsinks may be pushing it.

        YMMV, postage for me was $5 from JW, $83.95 delivered.

          You bought the Asrock B550M-HDV. Not the Gigabyte B550M Gaming that the rest of us in this comment chain were discussing.

          The Asrock doesn't have BIOS flashback so I hope you have an older AMD CPU that you can pop into it first to do the BIOS update for Ryzen 5600 support.

    I have one of these with a 3100 and a 16GB stick of udimm ECC ram, for a home server.

    Works great.

    • f0d on 08/05/2022 - 00:33

      im building a nas and only found out after buying something different that only some asus and asrock boards support ECC
      i always thought that all makers did
      this might be a good board for me then if ECC is confirmed working

      • MasterScythe on 08/05/2022 - 00:44

        All asrock B450 and B550 boards are enabled.

        Just remember you need a non 'G' cpu; or a PRO sku.

        If there's one thats not, the homeserver community hasnt found it.

        Most asus are (but not all); some gigabyte; and near zero of the others (like MSI).

  • BrewerHaHa on 08/05/2022 - 07:39

    Can anyone else recommend a matx board that fits in the nr200?

  • [Deactivated] on 08/05/2022 - 09:14

    How do these actually fare with no heatsink on the VRMs at all? Is decent airflow inside the case necessary even at idle?

    • greatlamp on 08/05/2022 - 11:05

      If using the stock cooler, or one of similar design it should be ok (like a noctua C14).

      I wouldn't use an AIO or tower cooler, the board wouldn't get any airflow.

      At idle, or minimal usage the CPU won't be drawing much power, the board will probably be running at 50-60 c (which is fine)

      This is the closest thing you will find to a real answer.

        Understood. Thanks mate.

    • MasterScythe on 08/05/2022 - 11:58

      VRM heat is directly proportional to how much the CPU asks of them.
      So if you put a budget build on there, it'll be more than fine.
      Put a beast in it? At idle, they should be barely above ambient, regardless of how big a demand you put on during load.

      I have a single 1000RPM fan in the front of my case, and a single 1000RPM on an ebay tower cooler on my 3100; VRM's don't ever get over 80c; and they're rated for 110c

        Cool, thanks.
