MAG B550M Mortar Max WIFI with Ryzen 5 5500

This bundle pairs a Micro ATX AMD B550 motherboard with a Ryzen 5 5500 processor. The board uses the AM4 socket and supports DDR4 memory up to 128 GB in dual-channel mode. It includes one PCI Express 4.0 x16 slot, six SATA 6Gb/s ports and two M.2 slots. Rear I/O provides one HDMI port, Bluetooth and Windows 11 support.

Builders staying on AM4 with a 65 W 6-core CPU

The combination suits users upgrading an existing AM4 system or building a compact rig around a 65 W Ryzen 5000 series chip. It does not fit newer socket platforms or processors that require a different chipset. Buyers needing more than one full-size PCI Express 4.0 x16 slot should consider a full-size ATX alternative.

Single PCI Express 4.0 x16 slot for the graphics

Only one x16 slot runs at PCI Express 4.0 speeds, so the graphics card occupies the sole high-bandwidth expansion lane. The two M.2 slots and six SATA ports share the remaining chipset bandwidth. Verify that your add-in card and storage plans fit this single x16 constraint before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Will the included Ryzen 5 5500 work with the board without a BIOS update?

The board supports Ryzen 5000 Series processors out of the box, so the 5500 will run immediately.

What is the fastest memory speed I can run with two dual-rank modules?

With two dual-rank sticks the maximum validated speed is 3733 MHz via A-XMP OC MODE.

Can I add a graphics card and still use the HDMI port on the rear panel?

The HDMI port is driven by the processor; the Ryzen 5 5500 has no integrated graphics, so the port will not output video unless a CPU with integrated graphics is installed.
