BIOSTAR RACING B550GTQ AM4 Motherboard Review

Motherboards/AMD AM4 by stefan @ 2020-09-04

The B550GTQ AM4 board from BIOSTAR is a very interesting affordable and compact offering, which sports a clean design, including reinforced PCI-E slots, enough connectivity ports, passive cooling for the chipset and the ability to install no less than four memory modules. The UEFI interface has been further refined and contains enough options for system tuning as well; as we have noted with other platforms sporting Ryzen 3000 processors, manual overclocking is not really needed, since the CPU will clock itself accordingly depending on the cooling system and other operating factors.

Test Setup and Extra Info

The test system did incorporate a Ryzen 5 3600X 6-core CPU, two Trident Z RGB 3200MHz 8GB memory modules with 16-18-18-38 XMP 2.0 timings, a PowerColor Red Dragon Radeon RX 5700 video card but also a Patriot Memory P200 512GB 2.5’’ SSD. As a power supply we have chosen a Cooler Master 850W non-modular and the system was running the latest Windows 10 OS build as well.

 

With the help of the AIDA64 system reporting/benchmarking utility, we have extracted some more information regarding the system:
