This is a pretty sweet micro-ATX B550 board. Only 1GbE-T, for those that care (me), but it does have decent slot placement (only a single GPU slot, but two usable x1 slots besides), AND two NVMe slots. Top one is PCI-E 4.0 x4, bottom one is PCI-E 3.0 x4. 4x SATA ports too. Oh, and don't let me forget, front-panel USB3.0, AND front-panel USB-C. Has a heatsink on the primary VRM stage(s).

Nice! I ordered an "Asrock B550M Pro4" mATX motherboard and a bunch of other stuff from Amazon a couple of days ago. Similar features to the board that you link, but the Pro4 has 2 PCIe x16 slots and 1 PCIe x1 slot instead of 1 PCIe x16 and 2 PCIe x1. On these B550 boards the PCIe 4.0 x16 slot connects directly to the CPU (as does the PCIe 4.0 NVMe slot), and the other slots (PCIe 3.0 x1, PCIe 3.0 x16, and PCIe 3.0 NVMe) connect to the chipset. The PCIe 4.0 slots are only 4.0 with newer Ryzen CPUs, older Ryzen only support PCIe 3.0 on those slots.

EDIT: WTF? The B550 chipset isn't compatible with the Ryzen 5 3400G or Ryzen 3 3200G?? I bought a 3400G with the intention of using it until the Ryzen 7 Pro 4750G becomes available. It looks like the only offically supported CPUs with built-in graphics for B550 are Ryzen 7 Pro 4750G, Ryzen 5 Pro 4650G, and Ryzen 3 Pro 4350G. And they aren't available.

Agree, I have the ASRock B450M version of this board, they put some good thinking into the layout of the PciEx slots (compare to ASUS or MSI), board is pretty good overall. I used to think ASRock was a lower tier brand, now with the DeskMini A300 as well, they are getting interesting.
