AMD launches B550 motherboards

[Haggisman]

FYI there's no stock likely today. The main boards will start to filter through over the next week. (There's no Asrock because I've had no pricing yet.)

Some lines will be due later next week and I'd expect ITX to be next month.

Wicked, will keep an eye out

Cheers for the updates!

Will there be any XT CPUs in today or this week?

I do believe that we are not allowed to sell these until next month.

Ok, thank you.

Thats my hope's dashed for picking up a new b450 at reduced cost.

I'll continue to save up for a X570 based motherboard then.

may be able to pick one up in the members market, some people may have bought a b450 as a stop gap for B550

Hardly refreshing to find out Taichi price

No Aorus Master? Not priced too badly although X570 Tomahawk would be the better choice nearing some of those £199 boards.

I've been looking at other sites and one has the Asus Strix B550-E Gaming at £287, too near the X570 version price wise which is about £315.

Even MSI Tomahawks, £180 for B550, £220 for X570 version.
X570 is looking better buy IMHO.

Looking at the boards the B550M AORUS ELITE (AMD AM4) B550 MICRO-ATX MOTHERBOARD
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/giga...am4-b550-micro-atx-motherboard-mb-58u-gi.html looks like a bargain compared to everything else. the Atx version seems to be £50 more

Aorus Elite looks like the one for me.

No Type-C ports is a real bummer

Seen the listing for the mortar, but no listing for the mortar wifi - any idea of projected availability?

There are more B550 boards available than I've listed as there are some which make no sense to me.

A good example here:

I've been looking at other sites and one has the Asus Strix B550-E Gaming at £287, too near the X570 version price wise which is about £315.

I can get these but I don't see much demand.

If anybody finds one missing that they really want please let me know and I'll look into it. (please note I already mentioned the Asrock situation earlier today)

There's also still a few to go live that I haven't finished setting up, the Mortar WIFI is amongst them.

I've learned not to trust MSI ETAs so all I'm comfortable saying is sometime in the next couple of weeks.

ASRock B550 Taichi £300+ haha
ASRock B550 Phantom Gaming 4 £108, decent value.

ASRock B550 Pro4 at £130 had usb c.

Somebody is cruising for a bruising!

I have to say I'm actually happy with the pricing of B550 it sits nicely between B450 and X570.

X570 has wifi, the B550 doesn't - that may or may not justify the £40 price difference by itself.

This i don't like with AMD, release date 16th of June, most of board available in July.
Why they cannot just start selling same day, enough time to prepare. I found only 1 board which is currently in stock

Yeah... would have been highly tempted by that one if it had internal type-c
