B550 motherboards support all features of the Ryzen processors of the third and fourth generation, above all the PCI Express standard in version 4.0 (PCIe 4.0). PCIe 4.0 is downward compatible and can be used with all expansion cards from previous generations. In addition, the mainboards support up to 128 GB of RAM with a guaranteed clock rate of 3,200 megahertz. With overclocking, much higher clock rates are possible, depending on the motherboard. The B550 chipset also allows the processor to be overclocked.
Note: The following specifications regarding the PCIe lanes, connection of the M.2 slots and connection of the PCIe slots refer to the combination of the B550 chipset with a third or fourth generation Ryzen CPU (Zen 2 "Matisse" / Zen 3 "Vermeer")! A BIOS update may be required to use a Ryzen 5,000 processor. This can be done by our King Mod Service on request.

The features of the MSI B550M Pro-VDH WiFi in detail:
The MSI B550M Pro-VDH WiFi is a Micro-ATX mainboard and has a PCI Express 4.0 slot with a full x16 connection for the graphics card. The mainboard provides two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots for additional expansion cards. The four RAM banks support up to 128 GB DDR4 main memory with a clock rate of up to 3,200 megahertz and can even handle clock rates of up to 4,400 MHz via OC.
The AM4 mainboard provides two M.2 slots. One of the M.2 slots is connected to the CPU with four PCI Express 4.0 lanes. It accepts plug-in cards up to 80 mm (2280) and supports the SATA protocol. M.2 SSDs with the advanced NVM Express protocol (NVMe) and a connection via four PCI Express 4.0 lanes support data transfer rates of up to 8 GByte / s and are twice as fast as via PCI Express 3.0.
The second M.2 slot is connected to the chipset with four PCI Express 3.0 lanes and supports plug-in cards up to 80 mm (2280). In addition, four SATA 6G connections are provided for additional drives.
Modern connections and lighting control
The MSI B550M Pro-VDH WiFi provides four USB 3.0 ports with type A sockets and two USB 2.0 ports on the I / O panel. A VGA, an HDMI and a DisplayPort connection are available for CPUs with an integrated graphics unit. There is also a classic PS / 2 connection for a mouse or keyboard.
This B550 motherboard also offers features such as Gigabit LAN (Realtek RTL8111HN), on-board sound (Realtek ALC892 Audio Codec), a reinforced PCI slot for the graphics card and numerous internal headers.
The MSI B550M Pro-VDH WiFi is not illuminated, but external RGB components can be controlled and synchronized using the manufacturer's software. The mainboard has two 4-pin RGB headers and two 3-pin RGB headers. Furthermore, a total of five fans can be connected directly to the board and controlled.
