Материнская плата ASRock B550M STEEL LEGEND — 164 отзывов, плюсы и минусы

Through all the hype around the release of the B550 chipset, I bought this motherboard thinking that it was a decently budget option with everything I needed. Don’t get me wrong, the thing worked. However, the RGB lighting over the IO shroud and the chipset stayed on even when the system was powered down, which really annoyed me when trying to go to sleep in my usually dark room. I tried to turn it off using Polychrome, only to have the software crash my computer out of the box. I tried contacting ASRock for support but their customer and technical service had less knowledge than some of the people posting on their forums. This is still a work in progress because it is a new product, but I would avoid it for the time being. I can definitely tell they were the daughter company of asus before with just how inexperienced the whole company seemed. Not to mention the IO shield was reused from a different board with empty WiFi antenna cutouts, just a sign of the quality and effort put into the product.

Upgraded from the B450M Steel Legend motherboard. Had absolutely no issues getting this setup once I booted my system up after upgrading. All the software worked with no issues and noticed some performance upgrades. I've noticed some bad reviews, but if you put the parts together... You shouldn't run into any issues. The only annoying issue I had was draining and filling the water loop, but it was about time for new fluid anyways which made the timing perfect.

Plenty USB ports, enough SATA ports, 2 Nvme.2 slots (second one is SATA and disables ports 3456), 1 m2 key.

Worked right out the box, the chipset drivers are still a bit buggy due to its recent launch. I expect it to get better in a couple of months.

Had a couple of issues with RAMs, but they are now fixed on the new BIOS update. Please select RAMs in the QVL list to avoid these issues, I had random crashes and windows corruption and found out it was due to RAM not being compatible with each other using the 4 slots (Team Group Nighthawk).

The RGB is beautiful and I didn't have any problems to match everything together. The only thing the software didn't recognize was the GPU, but this is known with the MSI RX5700XT Gaming X.

Totally recommended!

The board works fine, but Asrock needs to work on the RGB. First off, there Polychrome software is a complete mess. As of right now, all it does is give errors or crashes the computer, so I can't control any of the RGB at all, and the lights on the board stay on after you shut down the computer with no way that I can figure out how to turn it off. Also, after the fact, which is my fault for not doing the research, but apparently the lighting on Corsair Ram is not supported by Asrock. I really don't want to send it back, but I may have to, even though the Ram works as it should. At this point it doesn't matter because none of the lighting can be controlled at all, so I'm stuck with rainbow puke. My advice for anyone looking at purchasing a B550 board, look elsewhere until Asrock figures out their RGB issues. If RGB is important to you, go with MSI. They at least know how RGB is supposed to work. I haven't been more disappointed in a product in a long time.

Ordered for a build I been working on since Saturday...
These were supposed to work with 3rd gen ryzen chips out the box..
Even if it didnt and needed a bios update, this motherbaord would not post period...
Switched ram to a lower frequency, from 3200 to 2666, no dice, switched 3 PSUs to see if the PSU was faulty, no dice, switch from 3rd Gen to 2nd Gen chips, no dice, tried first gen, no dice.. So I've determined it was the board, requested a replacement, came two days later (today earlier before this review), swapped the old with the replacement, Same symptoms as the first board. Frustrated so I used an Asus model x570 board I was saving for a later build. Added the 3rd gen chip and ram and used the PSU I originally planned on building with. The motherboard posted, and I was able to get into bios on my test bench...

Returning both the replacement and original board for my refund.

When I tried to boot my pc for the first time, the motherboard cpu and ram error light would glow solid red and the pc wouldn't post. I was really scared because I thought I broke my cpu or ram. Turned out the motherboard was trash. Got a motherboard from MSI and my pc booted fine. Really disappointed. The RGB was nice on the board though. I didn't really care for the big S logo.

Great motherboard! Worked straight out of the box with my Ryzen 3 3300x like it should have. Rgb is bright and board is durable and hefty feeling. Definitely was a tight fit in my dlm22 case but has plenty of fan and rgb headers. But wouldn't recommend buying at current price of $199 bc I got it for $170 and its msrp is around $155.

First PC build in about 20 years. Had no problems with the motherboard. Documentation is pretty slim, but I got everything to work after finding the right plugs. Had a Crucial P1 1TB 3D NAND NVMe PCIe Internal SSD card as the main memory instead of a larger SSD and had a hard time locating the slot for it, but found it under the heat shield. No WiFi or Bluetooth on the main board, so will have to add those separately. Otherwise it worked great.

it has an 8 pin with a 4 next to it ive pluged eventhign in the right spots but no dice it wont make any display

I ordered this and I believe I got a faulty motherboard. Everything worked fine until I tried to power on the computer. There was no audio whatsoever. After trying every trick in the book and checking to see if it was my cables by plugging my old motherboard back in and testing, I determined the motherboard I got was a bad one and shipped it back and got a refund.

I'm sure this motherboard is as good as others say it is (Hell I really liked the RGB.), but it's depressing that I didn't get to have the same customer experience the others did. I didn't want to have to deal with the shipping again, as my order got delayed by a week after I ordered. I'll be fine just sticking to the motherboard I have currently I suppose.

I love this motherboard. It has plenty of RGB ports, a reinforced GPU slot, and RGB on the board itself. Works great OLOY Warhawk RGB RAM and a Ryzen 7 3700X. The attached IO shield is thin but does the job well. Gamers Nexus did testing on this board it was one of the coldest running VRMs. Definitely worth buying for $130.

Upgraded from an Asus Prime B450M/A in prep for the new Ryzen CPUs. RGB suport is great, and you can disable the board LEDs when the device is powered off. Clean looks, plenty of RGB support, and future proofing make for a great product. If you are debating on this board, go ahead and just buy it.

Great looking motherboard works excellently with my Ryzen 5 3600x. Super easy build.

I love this mobo! It’s very nice!

Works well and does not break the bank!

Me gustó mucho se ve de muy buena calidad y tiene RGB admite memoria ram de hasta 4600 mhz , tiene para 4 ventiladores y una para el disipador, también tiene para memoria nvme ,la placa es micro atx lo cual no especifica cuando yo la compré y me costo 3000 pesos más barata a como la venden los vendedores de Amazon México,me llegó muy pronto y muy bien empacada y protegida, trae su instructivo pero es demasiado confuso en especial en la parte donde se conecta el panel frontal ( y eso no lo pude hacer por mi mismo ) por lo que tuve que pagar 950 pesos para que me conectaran eso y otro problema que tuve con la placa es que no prendía con cpu ( ryzen 5 3600x ) por qué la tarjeta madre no estaba con su última BIOS y eso que se supone que está hecha para procesadores de tercera generación y otra cosa es que tampoco es compatible con procesadores de tercera generación que tengan Apu ,pero ya luego de todo eso no tengo ningún problema y las temperaturas van muy bien,pienso que sí es la primera vez que van a ensamblar una PC también van a tener problemas ya que he visto muy malas reseñas sobre está tarjeta ,pero la verdad creo que valió la pena haber comprado está ya que dicen que va a servir para procesadores de cuarta generación y además tiene para hacer OC y slide ( creo que así se dice ) y también sirve para CrossFire.

I spent a while looking for a decent mATX board, I was finding that the cheaper options around £70-100 tend to cut corners in terms of lacking a decent number of fan headers (I know you can get fan splitters but I like flexibility), or were b450 or older. For not too much extra with the b550m steel legend, it's future proofed to PCIe gen 4, supports 3rd gen Ryzen and beyond, and has a great feature set, it also looks the part. Is there better options for more money? Probably, but for this price I don't think there's a better option

Escribo esta reseña en cuanto me han entregado el paquete. La caja de Asrock viene tal cual y sin un envoltorio de plástico al vacío o precinto de seguridad, simplemente abres el estuche y todos los componentes están sueltos dentro. He comprobado que todos ellos están presentes y la placa en sí se encuentra protegida con espuma y fijada con presillas, pero la primera impresión ha sido terrible. Me he hecho de Amazon Prime expresamente para este pedido. Actualizaré la reseña cuando monte el PC y compruebe que funciona perfectamente.

¿ Pero que le pasa a Asrock con las memorias RAM ?. Dan problemas hasta las que dice la página que son compatibles. Poco han aprendido de Asus. Así es imposible recomendar esta marca de placas base.

Hat alles Anschlüsse die man sich wünschen kann, und sieht super aus!

Amazonでマザーボードを購入するのは2回目。今回も箱の封印シールもされておらず、またマザーボード本体をおおっているビニールにも封印がされていない。これが新品？と疑ってしまう。返品された物を再販しているのではないか心配になる。
追伸：Twitterでつぶやいたとこ、AsrockさんとAmazonさんから返信があり、新品である事がわかりました。BIOSの更新の為に開封されているみたいです。製造番号のシールに黄色い丸シールが貼られている物は新品だそうです。

安定が目的で購入

Works well and does not break the bank!

То что нужно было не урезанная, но и компактная плата, есть разъём под m2 Wi-Fi и отверстия для крепления антен, жаль что с завода не установили она стоит то 1000+ руб плата с антеннами

Главная претензия к ASRock - софт.

Парни уныло застряли в 2005 году.

Мне крайне тяжело освоится после софта Asus PC Suite III на древнем Z87 чипсете, который я покупал в 2012 году. Нет слов просто.

Я наивно полагал, что аналоги Thermal radar и Smart Fan Control реализовали для себя уже все производители материнок, но нет, позиция AsRock в этом плане, находится в первых двух буквах названия своей же марки...

Софт уныл, не информативен, не функционален от слова совсем. Словно - это bios. AsRock к 2022 году похоже так и не осознали, что софт - это вторая основа для железа, жаль что мнение Стива Джобса продававшего свой софт в далеких 80х не слышали лодыри из шарашки AsRock.

Отсутствие в комплекте коннекторов к wi-fi карте.

Антенн всяких разных полно на рынке в шаговой доступности, но вот коннекторов под них так просто не найти. Разумеется, AsRock выпустили кит набор, который малого, что не найти, но он к тому-же еще и включает в комплект поставки устаревший intel ax200. Мистер Бэрримор из анекдота, имеет на это обстоятельство особое мнение.

Использование рудиментарного архаизма в виде коннектора PS/2, мне до сих пор не понятно. Хотя мой дедушка рад когда приходит поиграть со своей деревянной клавиатурой... Считаю, что инженерам которые его втулили, необходимо пожизненно через суд, обязать его использование во всех своих гаджетах вместо "usb с" и "lightning". Гигабит в своей плате конкуренте, от него отказались и встроили еще два дополнительных usb 2.0, что + 20 целесообразности.

В целом, плата вышла хороша. Качественные детали, 4 доп. fan 2A (24 Вт) коннектора под любые нагрузки, будь то мощные вентили от Noctua industrial PPC или 4 помпы одновременно. Умеренно добротное охлаждение в виде основных радиаторов.

Если не софт, то на все остальное можно закрыть глаза.

Но вот не дает он возможности полного контроля над машиной как это реализовано у прямого конкурента, возможно конечно это многим и не надо.

К сожалению, на рынке в этом форм факторе всего три материнки и эта самая лучшая.

PSPS Максимум, что смог подобрать своими руками с Kingston FURY Renegade [KF436C16RB1K2/32] 32 ГБ - это 3666. На 3733 уже не стабильно, но скорость при той-же латентности 54700. Минимальная латентность выходила 61 n/s со скорость. ~51000. 3800 берет, но уходит в синьку время от временя. Откатился на 3666. AsRock DramCalculator не работал у меня к сожалению, было все шустрее.

В тяжёлом бенче райзен калькулятор обнаруживается 2 ошибки, но Ларку проходит, потому забил и остался. R7 5800X держит без разгона, с разгоном по всем ядрам уходит в защиту (БП SS Titanium prime 850). Но я все равно использую hydra project которая устанавливает оптимальную частоту для определенных видов инструкций, что и отображено на скрине. Как итог: Производительность та-же, но нагрев меньше.

В целом рекомендую к покупке. Если вы не аудиофил, то материнка очень достойная и продвинутая во всех отношениях. А если вы аудиофил, то у вас и так куча всяких внешних АЦП и прочих саунд-примочек для оцифровки.

Покупал на замену старой материнки с PCIE 3.0, что понравилось так это продуманный биос, со всем чем надо, а то что не надо спрятали. Поставил ryzen 5-5600g, полет нормальный, 8+4 пин питания процессора дают некоторые возможности по апгрейду, конечно фаз питания хоть и 10, но не думаю что тот же райзен 9 не сможет работать стабильно. В принципе я доволен, за исключением заднего бэкплейта, который фактически отходил от системы охлаждения на миллиметра 3, между ним и системой охлада проложили что=то вроде мягкого пластика или как это фигня называется? Ну фиг с ним. Дальше, на счет подсветки, бедноватая она под чипсетом, если использовать без видеокарты, то в твои маргалы будут светить два светодиоида, что не очень приятно. Единственное что смутило, о новизне продукта, так это следы жирных пальцев другого владельца на самой площадке сокета, вскрытый без пломбы пакет, ну и в принципе все. А так нормально.

Поддерживает только Rysen от ZEN+. VRM холодный, по ощущениям градусов 35 по цельсию. Напрягают проблемы с зашивкой в BIOS микрокодов процессоров, в недостатках указал не все приписки и замечания по BIOS. Неужели нельзя впихнуть микрокоды для всех процессоров? Слышал о жалобах про медленный старт материнки. Такого не заметил. Стартует нормально, не дольше чем обычный среднестатистический комп. В биос есть быстрый старт, если не собираетесь менять конфигурацию, тогда в bios можно будет зайти только через утилиту (не использую). Считаю эту материнку самой оптимальной для AM4 по соотношению цена/качество, если планируете все таки проапгрейдить комп в будущем. Проблемы с bios не такие существенные, у многих плат ещё хуже. Пять баллов, хотя 4,5 более правильная оценка.

хорошая материнская плата с подсветкой на ам4 сокете, использую 2 плашки по 16гб и 2 по 8гб на 3600мгц. Пользуюсь уже 2 месяца минусов не нашёл

В общем история такая была мать асус прайм б350 плюс, всем устраивала, но тут решил по тихой обновлять железо и первым делом выбор пал на материнку, сколько времени потратил читая отзывы и обзоры сложно сказать, но в итоге выбор пал на эту.

Курьер привез в этот же день и вечером начался процесс сборки(ад).

Во первых мне было лень снимать водянку сверху, как же я жалел потом что этого не сделал, нервов бы сберег вагон.

Так вот если у вас корпус zalman ms800 и водянка сверху, снимайте ее к чертям, чтобы все подключить по быстрому иначе потратите уйму времени и самое главное нервов.

Не понимаю тех людей которые пишут, что не понятно как переднюю панель подключать, все просто оказалось.

Хотел ради интереса снять радиатор от M.2 его откручиваешь и согласно инструкции надо поднять вверх, но оказывается между ним и чипсетом приличный слой термопасты и вариант потянуть вверх не поможет, хотя вырвать чипсет наверное можно)). Так вот там надо его расшатывать и потом нормально снимается.

После сборки думал, надо же будет винду через реестр править, чтобы загрузилось, но в моем случаи я только выставил нужный диск и спустя несколько перезагрузок винда загрузилась без всяких проблем.

Оставшиеся вопросы по ней:

1. Не нашел в интернете как правильно активировать на ней XMP

2. почему клава иногда не работает

3. Как победить подсветку, точнее настроить более правильно.

Покупал для 5600Х, имеется запас под апгрейд для процессоров X3D. Достаточное количество разъемов питания вентиляторов. Удобный и понятный BIOS. Покупкой доволен.

В общем и целом наверное следовало бы поставить 3 балла ну или точнее 2,5. Рекомендовать к покупке я её не могу. Лично я брал под красивую игровую сборку в купе с Palit RTX3080 GameRock — сочетаются идеально. По факту очень много мишуры в глаза, функционал явно хромает, будем надеяться, что с последующими биосами это всё поправят тогда может и порекомендую.
А общее впечатление в целом больше хорошее, чем плохое, потому и оставлю 4 балла. По мере появления дальнейшего опыта, хорошего или не очень, буду дополнять отзыв
