Affordable Motherboard for Ryzen 7000/8000/9000 Processors
Since AMD started pushing the AM5 platform with new Ryzen 7000/8000/9000 processors and DDR5 memory, prices for older components have been slowly but surely falling. As a result, you can find advanced components on sale at almost the price of office equipment. A great example of this is the MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK motherboard, which was considered premium (by AM4 platform standards) just a couple of years ago, and now costs just over $100.
The famous Tomahawk
For this price, a potential buyer gets a high-quality motherboard from the "combat" MAG TOMAHAWK subseries with a reliable element base, effective cooling of all key components and a powerful 13-phase power converter. It supports DDR4 memory with a maximum frequency of 4866 MHz and allows you to install two high-speed NVMe SSDs (one with a PCI-E 4.0 interface, the other - PCI-E 3.0). In addition, it has a stylish appearance with neat backlighting, which makes it an excellent addition to a beautiful case with panoramic windows.
All the necessary functions
In addition, the board is equipped with advanced tools for overclocking and monitoring the system, is compatible with the MSI Mystic Light Sync backlight system, supports BIOS Flashback and has a hybrid network card with a 2.5 Gbps LAN port. The high-quality Realtek ALC1200 audio system is responsible for sound output. In general, this is a “take it while you can” offer, and it’s hard to even imagine what else could be added.
