Features

The MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI motherboard supports AMD Ryzen™ 5000 and 3000 Series processors, excluding Ryzen™ 5 3400G and Ryzen™ 3 3200G, as well as AMD Ryzen™ 4000 G-Series processors. Four DDR4 memory slots operate in dual-channel mode and support up to 128 GB of memory with speeds of up to 4400+ MHz using A-XMP OC mode.

The motherboard includes one PCIe 4.0/3.0 x16 slot and two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots for expansion cards. The supported PCIe version of the primary slot depends on the installed processor.

Storage connectivity includes two M.2 sockets and four SATA 6 Gb/s ports. The upper M.2 socket supports PCIe 4.0/3.0 x4 and SATA devices, while the lower socket supports PCIe 3.0 x4 devices. An M.2 Shield Frozr heatsink is provided for the primary M.2 slot.

Core Boost technology, the Digital PWM IC power controller, and a 2oz Thickened Copper PCB help provide stable power delivery. The cooling design includes a 7 W/mK thermal pad, an additional choke thermal pad, and an M.2 Shield Frozr heatsink.

The motherboard is equipped with a Realtek 8111HN Gigabit LAN controller, Wi-Fi AC with speeds of up to 433 Mbps, and Bluetooth 4.2. VGA, DisplayPort, and HDMI outputs are available when using a processor with integrated graphics.
