Anybody have a B550 board coming?
I have 2x ASrock B550M Steel legend boards coming but they are not for my systems, I am building 2 brand new systems for my family. 3600X, 32GB 3600MHz, 5700 8GB, PCIe 4 1TB SSD should last them a couple of years (or at least until they demand RT).
I will probably go with full ATX B550 boards later this year for myself, assuming Zen3 doesn't have a X670/B650 coming in H1 next year.
I think Paul's Hardware is right. B450 has a PCI-E 2.0 link between CPU and chipset. At least according to the BIOS I was recently messing with.Anybody know if any B550 mobos , like the $280 Gigabyte Aorus Master B550 , have PCIe 4.0 link between CPU and Chipset ?
Paul's Hardware's latest video says B550 mobos have PCIe 3.0 between CPU and Chipset. Only the X570 have PCIe 4.0 between CPU and Chipset.
You just asked this same question in another thread.Anybody know if any B550 mobos , like the $280 Gigabyte Aorus Master B550 , have PCIe 4.0 link between CPU and Chipset ?

B550 Aorus Master splits PCIe4.0 x16 lane from CPU to x8, x4, and x4 to accomodate extra two m.2 PCIe 4.0 x4. So it's not from chipset itself because B550 chipset only has PCIe 3.0 x4 and shares its bandwidth between second, third PCIe x16 slot, and some SATA ports.like the $280 Gigabyte Aorus Master B550 , have PCIe 4.0 link between CPU and Chipset
