Four memory slots mean you can start with 16GB and double it later without throwing sticks away, and PCIe 4.0 on the graphics slot and primary M.2 means a modern GPU and a Gen4 SSD both run at full speed. The VDH suffix brings the triple video outputs, which makes it a strong choice for a Ryzen APU office machine driving several monitors, or for a gaming build where the graphics card arrives a few paydays after the rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it is not\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no WiFi on this model — if the machine will not sit next to a network point, budget for an adapter. The audio and networking are the mainstream Gigabit and Realtek implementations rather than 2.5G and premium codecs, and there is no rear USB Type-C or debug LED. Micro-ATX also means fewer expansion slots than a full ATX board, so a capture card plus a sound card plus a large GPU will get tight. And AM4 is a closed platform now: the Ryzen 5000 Series is the end of the line, so a buyer wanting future CPU upgrades should start on AM5 instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePCIe 4.0 x16 graphics slot for full-speed modern graphics cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePCIe 4.0 M.2 slot plus a second M.2 and SATA 6Gb\/s ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour DDR4 DIMM slots with Memory Try It! one-click tuning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTriple display outputs for APU-based office and multi-monitor builds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCore Boost power design and MSI Click BIOS 5 with M-Flash updating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: MSI B550M PRO-VDH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChipset: AMD B550\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSocket: AMD AM4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForm Factor: Micro-ATX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMemory: DDR4, 4 DIMM slots, dual-channel, up to 128GB, high-speed overclocked profiles supported\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpansion Slots: PCIe 4.0 x16 graphics slot plus additional PCIe x16 and x1 slots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStorage: 2x M.2 (primary at PCIe 4.0) plus 4x SATA 6Gb\/s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNetworking: Gigabit LAN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudio: Realtek HD Audio, 7.1-channel capable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear I\/O Highlights: HDMI, DisplayPort and D-Sub video out, PS\/2, LAN, audio jacks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB: USB 3.2 Gen1 and USB 2.0 rear ports plus front-panel USB headers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 3 Year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWHAT'S IN THE BOX:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMSI B550M PRO-VDH motherboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSATA data cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI\/O shield\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM.2 mounting screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick installation guide and driver media\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy MSI?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMSI's B550 boards have proven themselves over years of Ryzen builds, with firmware that has been refined long past launch.
