The carbon is £20 more expensive, is it worth it for the average gamer? I did look at the Tomahawk but I want WI-FI and the tomahawk is £10 more expensive than the Edge!

Encore merci pour ton excellent travail. English : What do you think about worst temperature results of Carbon MB compared to gaming edge wifi or tomhawak ? Do you think it's a matter of design or choices on components in the VRM architecture ? thx so much frenchy ;) et VIVE LE CAMEMBERT !!!

Another great review. Looking at a B550 mb at the moment, and this mb is def high on the list. One issue i have with this board, is the lack of blue tooth. Most mb with built in WiFi now also have Bluetooth. Is this a deal brake? For me, it could be. I'm also looking at the Gigabyte B550 AORUS ELITE AX WIFI, and that also has Bluetooth 5. And I know you love this mb also. Both these are good mb's, but with the MSI mb I'll have to buy a Bluetooth dongle, so that's an extra $20 Australian on top of the price. Here the MSI is $249 Australian, and i can get the Gigabyte on special for $195 at the moment, otherwise they're the same price. Hard choice, as the MSI is such a good mb Found your channel while researching mb's last week, and liked the way you go about your reviews, and have subbed. Keep up the good work.

I hear that intel i1220, i1225 maybe i1219 are best, and realtek ones slover and add to ping in games, so my question is which enternet chip does it have? If it's intel i1219 or greager i gues im not looking for any other board i'll just get this one :) Also how does it compare to strix/prime B boards from asus?

Hi Laurent, came across your channel and I would like to say so far has been the most informative reviews I have found. Detailed and reasonable explanation as to which motherboard to select. I'm a first time PC builder and I'm trying to put a system together with a Ryzen 5 3600 or 3600x for the time being possibly paired with a RTX3060ti whenever I could get my hands on one. I'm inclined to getting the MPG 550 Carbon Wi-Fi or the X570 Tomahawk based on your reviews. I would definitely be choosing from these two since I would like to have Bluetooth and Wi-Fi integrated. Based on the above, given pricing is similar, which one would you recommend? I plan on getting more serious about PC gaming on the future and my goal is to have a system that I can upgrade further later on if needed. Thanks!

(HOPEFULLY YOU READ THIS AND I DONT SEE A HALT IN YOUR VIDEO TITLE WHEN YOU RELEASE THIS BOARDS REVIEW LOL) no turning back like i did with the x570 unify for 220 used acceptable. didn have the extra stuff which i dont need have antennas ect, canceled the asrock extreme pro4 (beautiful board btw with post code and bios buttons on the board) but ima stick with msi as thats the bios im familiar with and event here (trash x570 edge) can run great overclocking ram results just using the try it now feature to where as ive seen ALOT of issues with asrock bios messing with timings by setting different speeds?
