Our Verdict
The MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk is one of the most widely recommended AM4 boards, with more than 6,200 Amazon ratings at 4.6 stars. It is an ATX board supporting Ryzen 3000 and 5000 processors with DDR4 memory, with strong power delivery that handles even 12- and 16-core Ryzen chips, two M.2 slots and fast wired networking. It has no built-in WiFi; the Tomahawk MAX WiFi version adds wireless and has often cost about the same or less in our price data, so check both. AM4 is an end-of-line platform, so this board makes most sense for upgrades or budget builds around chips like the Ryzen 7 5700X, 5800X3D or Ryzen 9 5900XT. Choose the B550 Tomahawk for a wired AM4 build where power delivery matters; if you need WiFi, the MAX WiFi version is the better buy.
