Asus B550I Manual

I had a lot of issues with ASUS's B550i motherboard. This one was super simple. I plugged everything in and worked as expected. Only gripe I have is that there's no USB-C ports or headers. All the other boards seem to have it. Not a deal-breaker for me since I knew about it, but it's odd to see that other B550i boards have USB-C but not this one. Other than that, I love it.

This replaced an Asus B550I motherboard that was randomly rebooting under light loads, with default setting. This motherboard has been rock solid. No unexpected issues or oddities to get it working either, just popped it in and it's been working like a charm. Very happy with this motherboard.

My third build with ASUS motherboards and no complaints. Good manual with links to more detailed info if needed

After patiently waiting 6 months for the email from B&H that another batch of Ryzen 5 5600X processors had arrived, I immediately purchased the following components for a mini ITX build: Ryzen 5 5600X cpu Gigabyte B550I motherboard Patriot Viper 2x16GB DDR4 3200 MHz ram WD SN850 1TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 SSD Noctua NH-L9x65 low-profile cpu cooler Resulted in a SPECTACULAR performance upgrade to the FX-6300 hard disk drive computer that has been my workhorse for the last 8 years. Click the mouse, and Boop, almost immediate file load. Power on completes within 5-10 seconds. Because of the video card supply shortage, had to use an old Asus GT630 card, although the rest of the system compensates to still make for quick graphic design. The only issue was installing Debian Linux. Debian 10 Buster does not have a native driver for the Realtek 2.5 GbE LAN chip. After a few hours of trying to manually load the RealTek RTL8125 driver with no success, I tried the testing Debian 11 Bullseye release, which successfully completed the installation with the r8169 driver. A hearty 5 Star recommendation for the Gigabyte B550I, especially since it does not have a chipset cooling fan that can add noise. The SilverStone SG05BB-LITE case I use has plenty of vent area and temperature has not been a problem.

Asus motherboard is amazing. I am glad i chose asus.

You know they're the best! (Great, just like both of my other ASUS mobo's)

It works well with ASUS T100TA.

This board is killer. I prefer it to the Z790 , a virtually identical board to the 690 but with a more IO options. Paired with the components listed below, I can do anything from Video editing to gaming , streaming and IT Administration. I have heard that Asus can be difficult when it comes to RMA and that they are working on improving thier work flows in that area and well, I have not had to test the validity of those claims since I have never had an Asus product fail on me in more than a 2 decades of Asus being my products of choice.

Works great and looks great. Syncs with ASUS.

It's powerful Asus and great price.
