#B550 tomahawk plus
Plus a front port kept free for USB sticks. And then I have 3 more USB devices connected for my other hobby that shares the bench. I also have a USB microscope for board inspection. In addition to the keyboard and mouse, that machine is on my workbench where it connects to several electronic test instruments and I have multiple cabled for programming microcontrollers.
On that one I added a USB PCI card to get enough ports. The one place I DO need lots of USB ports is also the place where I have a small cube case machine, with no discreete GPU, because it doesn t need one. I have a charger behind my desk and a cable to charge them. My phone and tablet sync over wifi, they don't get plugged in. I occasionally plug a USB stick in one of the front ports to transfer files.
#B550 tomahawk full
It has all the hallmarks of its X570 counterpart, aside from full native PCIe 4.0 support, no Wi-Fi, and fewer USB 3.2 G2 connectivity, but at just $20 cheaper. For MSI’s MSRP of $180, MSI includes dual Ethernet which its only B550 model at present to feature this, as well as slotting in Realtek 2.5 G Ethernet controller for good measure. The MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk is an interesting model as MSI seems to have shifted its marketing position going from a solid entry-level model to a more premium offering. Finishing off the rear panel is a small BIOS Flashback button and a PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse combo port. A Realtek ALC1200 HD audio codec powers the five 3.5 mm audio jacks and S/PDIF optical output, while the rear panel also includes video outputs for Ryzen APU’s which consists of an HDMI and DisplayPort pairing. For networking, there are two RJ45 Ethernet ports, with one controlled by a Realtek RTL8125B 2.5 GbE controller, while the other port is controlled by a Realtek’s Gigabit RTL8111H. Like the majority of MSI’s B550 models, the B550 Tomahawk includes a single USB 3.2 G2 Type-C, and a single USB 3.2 G2 Type-C port, with two USB 3.2 G1 Type-A and two USB 2.0 ports also present.
#B550 tomahawk install
A total of four memory slots are present with the capability to install up to 128 GB, with speeds of up to DDR4-5100 officially supported. Both M.2 slots include separate M.2 Frozr heatsinks, while for SATA drives, MSI includes six SATA ports. For storage, the B550 Tomahawk includes two PCIe M.2 slots, with the top slot benefiting from PCIe 4.0 x4 support, and the second slot locked at a maximum of PCIe 3.0 x4. It features two full-length PCIe slots with the top slot operating at PCIe 4.0 x16, and a second PCIe 3.0 x4 slot which derives from the chipset.
There is one element of RGB LED lighting which can be found underneath the chipset heatsink. Starting with the design, the B550 Tomahawk has a contrasting black and grey design, including the heatsinks, rear panel cover, and a patterned PCB. Highly popular with consumers due to offering solid features at a very competitive price point, the MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk has some interesting features with dual M.2 slots, dual Ethernet including a 2.5 G and Gigabit pairing, with a Realtek ALC1200 HD audio codec.
#B550 tomahawk series
Perhaps one of MSI’s most important models on any B series chipset is its MAG Tomahawk series.
