I am looking at upgrading my motherboard (I am new to this BTW), and decided on the "ASUS Prime B550M-A WiFi II - Motherboard - Micro ATX - Socket AM4 - AMD B550 Chipset - USB 3.2 Gen 1". However, it appears it may be manufactured in Europe? I am only seeing European sellers for it.

My question is, I am in the USA, so is this motherboard compatible in the USA? Meaning; will I have problems with features/drivers/etc. using it in the USA when it was manufactured for the European market?

I'm not sure where you are looking; a quick google shows newegg selling it, and I'm sure there are others. Anyway, it's probably manufactured in Taiwan, not Europe.

Even if it were, there shouldn't be any issues. I can't think of any Europe-only standard that would affect anything on the motherboard. It's only the PSU that would matter, and any modern day PSU will be multi-voltage and multi-frequency.

What are your current specs? But yeah, that seems like a decent board for AM4. I agree where the board is made shouldn't really matter.
