MSI B550M PRO-VDH AM4 Micro-ATX Motherboard (B550, DDR4, PCIe 4.0)

Description

Overview

The MSI B550M PRO-VDH is a compact micro‑ATX motherboard for AMD AM4 processors. It uses the AMD B550 chipset to provide a PCIe 4.0 x16 slot (when paired with a PCIe 4.0-capable Ryzen CPU), dual-channel DDR4 memory support across four DIMM slots and a pair of M.2 slots for NVMe storage. The board targets mainstream and productivity builds where small form factor and PCIe 4.0 support for a primary GPU or NVMe drive are useful.

Key features

• AMD AM4 socket with support for 3rd Gen Ryzen processors; support for later AM4 CPUs may require a BIOS update.
• Four DDR4 DIMM slots, up to 128GB total; XMP/A‑XMP memory overclocking supported.
• 1× PCIe 4.0/3.0 x16 slot and 2× PCIe 3.0 x1 slots.
• 2× M.2 (one PCIe 4.0 x4 from CPU, one PCIe 3.0 x4 from chipset) plus 4× SATA 6Gb/s ports.
• Realtek Gigabit LAN and Realtek ALC892/ALC897 7.1-channel HD audio codec.
• Rear display outputs: VGA, DisplayPort and HDMI 2.1 (requires a CPU with integrated graphics).
