Give it up, therefore, for the Asrock B550M-HDV. Clocking in around $80, it sits rather more comfortably with the value-orientated B550's market positioning. Not that the B550 is a bum chipset.

As we said when looking at the B560M-HDV, if Asrock didn't list compatibility with 125W parts and instead called it the "B660M-HDV 65W," we'd take far less issue with the product.
