Asrock B550 Phantom Gaming 4 AMD B550 Socket AM4 ATX B550 PHANTOM GAMING 4 Reviews

+Pleasant visual appearance, Performs very well, Offers USB 3.2 Gen1 and Gen2 front panel connectivity, Good layout for multi-GPU, A total of 7 fan headers, M.2 slots feature thermal cooling, Great audio package
-Expensive, Wasted back panel space with USB 2.0, Touted as a high-end board but no WiFi included

+Solid 14-Phase 50A Power Delivery, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, USB Type-C port on the rear I/O,
-Does not include Wi-Fi, Price compared to similar models

The B550 PG Velocita delivers capable VRMs, 2.5 GbE, and style for about $220. The only thing missing is integrated Wi-Fi. There is a Key-E slot if needed, but similarly equipped alternatives include Wi-Fi for the same price or less...
