B550 Aorus Master - 14x 70amps Direct Phases ! 980a Vcore...insane

They have to be careful, too high and you are in X570 range, problem is they want sales of B550 while keeping X570 sales going, so too high and people will jump to X570, too low and X570 sales may suffer. Personally I think B550 pricing looks a little too high at this time, too close to X570 IMHO.
Yes, I agree. If in a position to buy again I’d plump for the X570 over the B550 Master.
 

Looks like a good board, but wow what a strange PCI-e lane share, all m.2 slots are PCI-e 4.0, they are all wired direct to the CPU, but if you use all 3 or even 2, then your graphics card gets stepped down to x8 instead of x16, also no X-fire of SLi support, EDIT: sorry thats for the master only.

The pro has a different layout still, the 2nd nvme slot is wired to the chipset, PCI-e 3.0 only, and if you use that then you loose the use of the bottom x4 slot.
