My B550 Aorus Master motherboard has been working fine ever since the very first time it was paired up with an adequate power supply. Overall Review: Here are some notes concerning my recent real-life experience to date. You can’t have your 12 CPU paths for 3 drives and your 16 paths for video too. Pros: Biggest pro: This is one of a very few, if not the only motherboard for Joe Consumer that allows RAID for three (Generation 4) M.2 drives without a lane bottleneck between the chipset and the CPU.Ĭons: Biggest con: Starting with the installation of a second M.2 drive, the PCIe x16 slot for the video card loses 8 of its 16 paths.
