RealMelTan when will part 2 be up? I’m needing to order a board and would love to see the bios and features of this MoBo before I order it for my first build. ☺️
I chose this board for my build. At stock settings my 3900xt scores CPUMark 34433 (average of 11 tests, global average 33022 for 3900xt), with a single core score of 2934 (average of 6 tests, global average 2804 for 3900xt). All board temperatures below 50 degrees centigrade with one 120mm exhaust fan. It is memory fussy, follow the certified vendor list. Thanks for this review which helped me.
6:10 You can use the power button to do reset bios.. 1. Hold to force power down when your PC is ON wiith black screen. 2. Hold once again for 10 second. During this 10 second, your PC's LEDs and fans will start up - please keep holding it until the system tunes off, and then release it. 3. Press once more, like you turn ON your PC normally. Done, its now reset. Note: at first boot, your screen may take a bit of time to light up after reset, so just wait.
Thank you Robert! Your comment means a lot to us! We will continue to put out these info and entertainment :) Do you have any ways we should improve on?
RealMelTan Hi guys, you did provide value to me. Unique to your style which is cool. :) Subtitles are always appreciated as it's easier for more people to understand, especially for people with impaired hearing(I hear fine). Just decide if it's not too taxing on your video producing time. :) Take care and stay safe!
I looked a lot for Wifi mATX motherboards and there wasn't too many choices. This one looked like a good candidate and watching your video cemented my decision further. Thanks for the in depth information. Gordon I love your enthusiasm and passion. Keep up the great work!
Totally admire that you are doing videos in a secondary language, that is very brave, and really appreciate that you add subs. Keep on the good work and the good energy. Nice review!
I really appreciate your efforts and finally I bought my new MSI B550m Mortar Wi-Fi after I watch this video Big help and you deserve a tons of subscribers
I'm considering this as a direct upgrade from an Asrock B450 ITX. Also, if you find yourself needing to clear CMOS frequently, you're likely the tinkering type, so you should be able to build a breakout header with pushbutton, to move it both to a more convenient location, and to far more easily activate the feature. The board is available without WiFi6, but since the WiFi is only a $10 add to the price, I don't see why you wouldn't... other than for the aesthetics - the non-WiFi model has black heatsinks.
Hi Khanin, you can do this: You can either do a Start menu search for “System Information” or launch msinfo32.exe from the Run dialog box to open it. Then go to “System Summary” section and look for “System Model” on the main page. From there, you should be able to find out what kind motherboard your PC is running on. Hope this helps !
THANK YOU!!! Been looking for a review for the b550 mortar since I'm happy with my b450 mortar. At least now ill know what I'm upgrading to when I'm upgrading. Sub and liked.
@@RealMelTan Yeah, seems good for me, i don't mind long or short video, as long as they are giving good info, it's nice that you mentioned some things normally you wouldn't expect about this products, like the space to consider for different hardware pieces.
Hey Icey, this motherboard supports Ryzen 3000 CPUs out of the box. As for Ryzen 2000 CPUs, officially it may not work. It could be the BIOS version of the motherboard?
Thank you for going over the aRGB connector. I am looking to get this board and needed to know it was aRGB compatible. The BIOS flash is super useful as well.
Hey CrazyBlueTV, we are more inclined towards the MSI as it has its single heat-shield on the PCIE 4.0 M.2 slot, while the ASUS has it on the PCIE 3.0 M.2 slot. Given that PCIE 4.0 SSDs run hotter than PCIE 3.0 SSDs, having the heat shield on the PCIE 4.0 SSD makes more sense.
The ASUS TUF B550M Plus WiFi is better. WiFi + BT 5.1 and the second M.2 Socket is 22110 Sata3/PCIe 3.0. The PCIe are full funcionall and separates for the 2 slots VGAs. Onboard Audio is AL1200 + S/PDI-F Optical output. 8 + 2 Power Phases for cpu... etc. The MSI b550m Mortar lost the second PCIe x16 (x4) if the second M.2 Socket is used.
Yup, there's both Bluetooth n WIFI on this board. I think the antennas are ok. Of course if u want something better, you can go for an external WIFI card.
Im using b450 gaming pro carbon wifi but im thinking of moving to matx now. These is one of my top choices just cause its white, to match my case. Any other great choices of board?
Say if I have a 4th gen Ryzen CPU and it's already installed onto the motherboard, can I still do BIOS flashback to update the BIOS? Or does the update have to be done without a CPU?
from my finding, there is 3 variant for matx ver. 1.MAG B550M MORTAR MAX WIFI 2.MAG B550M MORTAR WIFI 3.MAG B550M MORTAR (black heatsink) So the superior version would be max wifi?
@@RealMelTan Yes , it was enough information. I ended buying the board based on your review. I paired it with a 5600x CPU and it worked right out of the box.

Yes it should work. Ryzen 5000 CPUs (like your 5950X) work on B550 platforms. As for your 7900XT, I am not sure which model you are gonna use (cuz of size), but make sure your mobo is fastened well, and your case is big enough.

@@AyushGarg82 it’s amazing! But I hit a slight snag, couldn’t find a mortar WiFi by the time I was about to order it. So upgraded to a b550 gaming edge WiFi.

Gordon here Both of those motherboards are not available here in Singapore at the moment the lowest-end B550 ATX from MSI available here is the MSI B550 Tomahawk As to why this is so, i am guessing that for their feature set to price , you can get similar from the B450 Tomahawk Max or B450 Gaming Pro Carbon Max Wifi for significantly cheaper
@@gocool003tamil2 I have the MSI B550 Gaming Plus and have no temperature problems. My desktop case has 4 big ventilators and the cpu has also a 3rd party coolblock+ventilator. TurboBoost on, testing , temperature below max.
for this board, this is the only m-atx b550 motherboard i have ever seen where the top pcie x16 slot is in line with the upper screw holes just like in itx motherboards. so when you have a m-atx case with only 4-5 gpu slots, the gpu will have way more air intake compared to other b550m motherboards
@@RealMelTan Sorry if I'm misinformed, but what features will higher end boards give compared to this? I need the 5950x for my job, but I don't need unnecessary features of more expensive boards. Sorry, if this sounds dumb.
I have a corsair mp600 ssd but I can't seem to fit it into the m.2 gen 4 slot, the silver mounting hole seems to be blocking it. and also since it has an integrated heat sink, I can't use the motherboard heat shield, what do I do?
I want to ask ; i will using ryzen 5 5600 in the Mag B550m mortar MAX Wifi ,in the website says its should get the BIOS version update 7C94v1B .. so should I get that version (7C94v1B) or the latest one (7C94v1K) ? thank you.
Hi Mattix, I would say it depends on your budget. We would prefer a more premium board such as the Gaming Carbon WIFI for this CPU. Check out our review here: ua-cam.com/video/2M3gBrtiXnY/v-deo.html
Hi, i bought this Mobo and having some issue with m.2 nvme installation, couldn't find a way to boot priority from m.2. I did try to boot from ssd sata and hdd, having no problem. When it come to m.2, it didn't show up in bios. Please help me sir.
Hey Average Boy! Thank you for your support! We will continue to explain in-depth then :) As for your motherboard, we will try to see if we can get our hands on one :)
I currently have this motherboard in my computer it works amazing even with overclocking and it goes great with my ethno evolv itx silver case and my silver polished ram sticks, all the colours matched perfectly and for my first build I couldent be more happy. I totaly recomend this board.
@@RealMelTan got this same mobo now, and i feel the hassle of removing the gpu just to clear cmos. though the gpu has pcie steel armor, so it can probably handle some stress on it. btw, @RealMelTan, do you have any problem with the main m.2 slot? i got my ssd OS moved to the 2nd m2 slot because sometimes my ssd dont get detected, not sure if it is the gen3/gen4 settings in the bios.
Dude could you PLEASE try a Ryzen one chip with this board? There’s other UA-cam videos of other b550 boards working but I want this board specifically. Would really appreciate it
I should have watched that before buying an asrcok b550m that didn't boot with a new Ryzen because the bios was too old. I returned it a got the MSI and was able to flash the bios.
Please Reply with me here, I purchased this motherboard Mortar b550m Wifi with Ryzen processor It has inbuilt wifi but the wifi is not working after installing the drivers also!! Please Help
Hi JSIO, there should not be able any issues with the in built WIFI drivers. Perhaps you can download the latest bios for this motherboard at msi.com, and update the Intel WiFi drivers?
I got B550M mortar max for my PC build yesterday, but my GPU is only 3GB GTX 1060. Is my build bottleneck? I will do data science to it, I wish I could have a better GPU for my budget hehe.
@@RealMelTan Hi, it depends on the application, if you are using a 3D model with data science (for simulation) is Yes. But if data science alone for simulation, it uses CPU more. But even you dont use 3D modeling and working with deep learning, you need a better GPU.
One issue: you missed that the second x16 slot actually runs in x4 mode. MSI should have made it look like what it is (x4) and moved the BIOS battery over there in the cleared up space.
Also to further answer ur comment Yes we do agree that that slot should have been physically a PCIE x4 open-ended slot instead of a PCIE x16 slot That would have saved space for the CMOS battery to go there, while at the same time allow for those who want to put a PCIE x16 device into that slot (abeit running at PCIE x4 speeds)
This video was so informative! Question: I was told this motherboard only has 4 fan headers. I bought this motherboard for my NZXT h510 elite case, in which I will be installing 2 fans and a liquid cooler with an additional 2 fans, all of which have RGB. Will the 4 headers be enough for 4 fans? I was told that certain fans take 2 headers each...
are the 2 fans on the liquid cooler? yeah itll be fine then because usually the 2 fans for the aio are connected together and they plug into a single cpu fan header
Hello I'm quite confused with my choices: b550m mortar wifi or msi b550 gaming plus. they have very near prices with $4 difference. Im fine with/without wifi but i was just thinking that if I opted for the $4 higher price mortar wifi, i can get a board with wifi. but i can save $4 if i chose gaming plus and it also matches my atx case. Can I ask for wisdom?
Would you use this mATX board for your next build?

If so, you can use that to connect an RGB strip to light up your set :)
Can you review MSI B550-A pro or MSI B550 Gaming Plus ?
Gordon here
Both of those motherboards are not available here in Singapore at the moment
the lowest-end B550 ATX from MSI available here is the MSI B550 Tomahawk
As to why this is so, i am guessing that for their feature set to price , you can get similar from the B450 Tomahawk Max or B450 Gaming Pro Carbon Max Wifi for significantly cheaper
Awesome! Thank you Gordon for your input!
B550 gaming plus sucks in temperature if you over lock or even normal usage soo don't buy that
@@gocool003tamil2 I have the MSI B550 Gaming Plus and have no temperature problems. My desktop case has 4 big ventilators and the cpu has also a 3rd party coolblock+ventilator. TurboBoost on, testing , temperature below max.
for this board, this is the only m-atx b550 motherboard i have ever seen where the top pcie x16 slot is in line with the upper screw holes just like in itx motherboards. so when you have a m-atx case with only 4-5 gpu slots, the gpu will have way more air intake compared to other b550m motherboards
Cool! Thank u for this info. There's also enough clearance and gap between the GPU and the bottom of the motherboard?
Will this board be still suitable for the 5950x? if im on a budget.
Yes it will be compatible. But if you are on a budget, why would u go for a 5950x ?
@@RealMelTan Sorry if I'm misinformed, but what features will higher end boards give compared to this? I need the 5950x for my job, but I don't need unnecessary features of more expensive boards. Sorry, if this sounds dumb.
Does the wifi on the b550m mortar wifi the same as on the b550 gaming edge? Btw, this is a great video!
I have a corsair mp600 ssd but I can't seem to fit it into the m.2 gen 4 slot, the silver mounting hole seems to be blocking it. and also since it has an integrated heat sink, I can't use the motherboard heat shield, what do I do?
You can remove the heat sink and insert to the M.2 slot. The motherboard's heat sink can handle it :)
I want to ask ; i will using ryzen 5 5600 in the Mag B550m mortar MAX Wifi ,in the website says its should get the BIOS version update 7C94v1B .. so should I get that version (7C94v1B) or the latest one (7C94v1K) ? thank you.
If the latest one is not a beta, you can use it :)
would this be ok for 5900x?
Hi Mattix, I would say it depends on your budget. We would prefer a more premium board such as the Gaming Carbon WIFI for this CPU.
Check out our review here: ua-cam.com/video/2M3gBrtiXnY/v-deo.html
@@RealMelTan hi, this is the same for me. where I live the board you reccommended is overpriced. Will this board be still suitable for the 5950x?
Already bought it.just came for for know how many nvme it support
Love this style of video
Glad I didn't wait for B550...
Thanks for your review!
Hi tcotiago! Why do you not like the B550?
@@RealMelTan very expensive... Elite features on a "budget" board...
Hi, i bought this Mobo and having some issue with m.2 nvme installation, couldn't find a way to boot priority from m.2. I did try to boot from ssd sata and hdd, having no problem. When it come to m.2, it didn't show up in bios. Please help me sir.
this was very very nice video because no one else explains so simple way thank you guys
can you review asrovk b550itx phantom gaming ...
Hey Average Boy! Thank you for your support! We will continue to explain in-depth then :)
As for your motherboard, we will try to see if we can get our hands on one :)
@@RealMelTan thnx for listening bro
Great review, thank you!
Thank you D T. What did you like about our review? :)
I currently have this motherboard in my computer it works amazing even with overclocking and it goes great with my ethno evolv itx silver case and my silver polished ram sticks, all the colours matched perfectly and for my first build I couldent be more happy. I totaly recomend this board.
Is it pcie4?
@@Shaker1000yes b550 Chip Supports pcie gen 4.0
Fantastic video! Loved watching it! Great review! :)
Thank you Tomtil for your support! What did u like about this review? And thank you for the Twitter share :)
@@RealMelTan Really liked your presentation style. Loved how informative your review was too! :)
Thanks for mentioning the CMOS battery problem when doing BIOS settings (eg overclocking etc...) this makes this board for sadly a No-Go.
Hi Richard! I think the CMOS placement is a minor grievance. It is a hassle to remove the GPU first, but I think it is an ok workaround.
@@RealMelTan got this same mobo now, and i feel the hassle of removing the gpu just to clear cmos. though the gpu has pcie steel armor, so it can probably handle some stress on it. btw, @RealMelTan, do you have any problem with the main m.2 slot? i got my ssd OS moved to the 2nd m2 slot because sometimes my ssd dont get detected, not sure if it is the gen3/gen4 settings in the bios.
Dude could you PLEASE try a Ryzen one chip with this board? There’s other UA-cam videos of other b550 boards working but I want this board specifically. Would really appreciate it
Hi Tech, which Ryzen 1 are u looking at ? :)
@@RealMelTan i have an 1800x :) why so?
@@techbuildspcs Ok cool man! just checking. We have to check and get back to you.
RealMelTan thanks! Can’t wait for the answer.
@@techbuildspcs No guarantee, it depends if we can get our hands on a ryzen 1800 or something. haha :)
No offense, but subtitle was very helpful! also! great review!
haha no offense taken, but did u understand us well? and thank u for your awesome comment ! :D
I should have watched that before buying an asrcok b550m that didn't boot with a new Ryzen because the bios was too old.
I returned it a got the MSI and was able to flash the bios.
Nice! Glad to help our review helped you with this issue. Is it working well for you now?
Please Reply with me here,
I purchased this motherboard Mortar b550m Wifi with Ryzen processor
It has inbuilt wifi but the wifi is not working after installing the drivers also!! Please Help
Hi JSIO, there should not be able any issues with the in built WIFI drivers. Perhaps you can download the latest bios for this motherboard at msi.com, and update the Intel WiFi drivers?
@@RealMelTan yeahh i updated the bios and thanks ya i got it. But you replied very late lol
I got B550M mortar max for my PC build yesterday, but my GPU is only 3GB GTX 1060. Is my build bottleneck?
I will do data science to it, I wish I could have a better GPU for my budget hehe.
Hey Franz, is data science using more towards CPU or GPU?
@@RealMelTan Hi, it depends on the application, if you are using a 3D model with data science (for simulation) is Yes. But if data science alone for simulation, it uses CPU more.
But even you dont use 3D modeling and working with deep learning, you need a better GPU.
it's kinda strange. normally msi board is packed with check pattern printed vinyl.
Perhaps they want to try something different this time? Although it is still labelled a "weapon" :D
Very helpful information about the slot configuration that others have overlooked. Thank you so much!
Hi Jeff! Thank you for your support! Glad it has helped you out. Do you find the review of a good length ? :)
@@RealMelTan Absolutely, excited for part 2 to see it boot up and explore the BIOS settings.
Good work man, keep it up.
Cool thank you Kayo! What did u like about this review?

Hi Yicong, may I know what features are u looking at?
Great review. I will be buying this.
Cool man! Thank you for your support Kinyanjul! Let us know when u get it :D
@@RealMelTan Already bought. Awaiting shipment
One issue: you missed that the second x16 slot actually runs in x4 mode. MSI should have made it look like what it is (x4) and moved the BIOS battery over there in the cleared up space.
Gordon here
I actually did mention that the 2nd slot is PCIE 3.0 x4 at 4:15
Thank you Gordon for this clarification :)
Also to further answer ur comment
Yes we do agree that that slot should have been physically a PCIE x4 open-ended slot instead of a PCIE x16 slot
That would have saved space for the CMOS battery to go there, while at the same time allow for those who want to put a PCIE x16 device into that slot (abeit running at PCIE x4 speeds)
This video was so informative! Question: I was told this motherboard only has 4 fan headers. I bought this motherboard for my NZXT h510 elite case, in which I will be installing 2 fans and a liquid cooler with an additional 2 fans, all of which have RGB. Will the 4 headers be enough for 4 fans? I was told that certain fans take 2 headers each...
are the 2 fans on the liquid cooler? yeah itll be fine then because usually the 2 fans for the aio are connected together and they plug into a single cpu fan header
Hello I'm quite confused with my choices: b550m mortar wifi or msi b550 gaming plus. they have very near prices with $4 difference. Im fine with/without wifi but i was just thinking that if I opted for the $4 higher price mortar wifi, i can get a board with wifi. but i can save $4 if i chose gaming plus and it also matches my atx case. Can I ask for wisdom?
Hi Chin Liu, I would go for the mortar wifi because you can save money from buying an external wifi card :)
@@RealMelTan thanks for that! i ended up choosing mortar wifi and Im very satisfied
