Four DDR4 slots, two M.2 slots and PCIe 4.0 on a budget AM4 board that keeps your existing DDR4 memory in service.
Quick Specs
- AMD B550 chipset, Socket AM4 (Ryzen 3000, 4000G, 5000 series)
- 4 x DDR4 DIMM, up to 128GB, DDR4-4733 (O.C.)
- 2 x M.2 (1 x PCIe 4.0 x4, 1 x PCIe 3.0 x2), 4 x SATA
- PCIe 4.0 x16 slot with Ryzen 5000/3000
- HDMI 2.1 + DisplayPort 1.4, Gigabit LAN, Micro-ATX
A sensible AM4 upgrade board
The B550M K is aimed at builders sticking with AM4 and DDR4, whether that is a new Ryzen 5 5600 or 5700X gaming PC or a refresh of an older A320 or B450 system. Compared with an A520 board, you get PCIe 4.0 on the graphics slot and the main M.2 slot when using a Ryzen 5000 or 3000 CPU, four DIMM slots for up to 128GB and a second M.2 slot for extra storage. HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 are ready for a Ryzen G-series APU. B550 also allows CPU and memory overclocking, which A520 does not.
Where it keeps costs down
This is a stripped-back B550 board. It has just one CPU fan header and one system fan header, so cases with several fans will need a hub or splitter, and there are no RGB headers. The second M.2 slot runs at PCIe 3.0 x2, which is fine for a games drive but slower than the primary slot. Networking is Gigabit Ethernet only. Note that Ryzen G-series APUs drop the x16 slot and main M.2 to PCIe 3.0. If you want Wi-Fi, more fan headers or RGB control, look at a higher B550 model; if you are starting fresh, AM5 with DDR5 is the longer-term platform.
