Cons
- also my motherboard (asrock b550m-HDV) for some reason dosent have an xmp/expo setting, i can make it choose the frequency and timings automatically, but it dosent have an xmp/expo dedicated option for some reason.
- Someond said it might be mobo VRM problem and I think it was, because I switched the mobo to better one and atleast now everything is working as they should.

The ASRock B550M-HDV Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard supports the AMD Ryzen 5 5600 3.5 GHz 6-Core Processor with BIOS version P2.10.
You could save a bit of money going with the Asrock B550M-HDV, which Amazon sells for $70... compared to Amazon's $100 price for the MSI 550M-Pro VDH.
Personally, I would prefer to save the $30 and go with Asrock, partly because the Ryzen 5500 and all the 5000 series APUs with integrated graphics have 65 watt TDPs, which I think the Asrock motherboard's 6 power stages is good enough to be able to handle OK.
I would probably buy the Asrock B550M-HDV from Amazon for $69. The A520 and B450 only support PCI Express 3.0, whereas the B550 supports PCI Express 4.0. As such, the B550 is a better choice for future upgradability, in regards to NVME SSDs and any GPU you might want to install later on.
