Choosing motherboard on B550

[aedesy]

Hi everybody,
I'd like to buy a new mobo, if a see a good offering with the upcoming Back Friday. So my choices are: MSI B550 Gaming Edge WIFI and ASUS B550 Strix-F WIFI. Which one you recommend? Take notice that I'd like to install a Ryzen 5600 (when it will be available) or at most a 5600X, both running at stock frequencies. So no cpu overclocking. Only a XMP profile been set. But anyway I'd like to have a mainboard with a solid and efficient VRM. Looking forward to your answer. Thanks.

Go with MSI B550, also if you have 310.00 "taxes already figured in, go ahead and pick up this.

Also just use mobo for abbreviations for motherboard.
Mainboard is more used for industrial type servers.

Good question.
I also want to know ASUS MoBo? -- say "Asus ROG Strix B550-F Gaming" motherboard.
May be some times we may skip the important cons. of the product/brand.
Please reply and oblige.

Hi Navin, that's what I know about these two mobos. Talking about VRM, I think MSI has a better VRM than ASUS. Both have a "teamed" VRM. Talking about features, I think ASUS has a better ethernet controller, a better audio chipset and (maybe) a better BIOS. Considering that I don't need WiFi, I will not try to overclock, just a Ryzen 5600/5600x (when I will find one ) running at stock frequencies, that both mobos has the same VRM thermal performance (MSI is just a little bit better) and I've just found ASUS 30 euro less than MSI, I just picked that. At the end I have to add that ROG STRIX B550-F Gaming don't have a temperature sensor on VRM. I don't why ASUS made such a (bad) choice for this mobo. I hope I helped you.
