- AM4 (for) the win - Morné, 12 June 2026
Decided to stay on the AM4 platform due to the recent hike in RAM prices. I replaced my B450 Tomahawk with this B550 motherboard for the PCIe 4.0 support, and I'm honestly happy with my purchase. The motherboard runs my Ryzen 7 5700X perfectly well out of the box.
The first unit had a faulty RGB header, but thankfully Wootware quickly exchanged it for a new board. - Great Motherboard for the Price (New) - Dean Kaiser, 2 December 2023
Honestly the best B series Motherboard for the Price and honestly serves it's purpose well enough. Wootware have got great suppliers and the don't skimp on giving you the client the best quality product. They are much better than Evetech by a long shot. Ever since I've started buying from them, Wootware have gone the extra mile for you me and can do the same for you as well.
Overall great Motherboard for the price and great customer service. Keep it up guys and please don't drop the ball either.
