Motherboard Performance
Testing the MSI PRO B550M-P WiFi6E was accomplished using the benchmarks below. The following components were used: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 16GB at 3600MT/s (CMK16GX4M2Z3600C18), TEAMGROUP T-FORCE GR PRO Airflow 2TB Gen5 NVME, and the ASRock RX 7600 XT Steel Legend 16G OC graphics card. We also used the ADATA SX8100NP Gen3 NVME to test the M.2_2 slot. Comparison results are discussed from the review of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D located here and the MSI B550 GAMING WiFi6E located here.










The performance of this MATX motherboard is very good. There were scores that paralleled the MSI B550 GAMING WiFi6E, as you would expect. Compared to the testing over 4 years ago when we looked at the 5800X3D, things were likewise quite close, despite the difference in motherboard chipsets. Overall, this board performed with no surprises and no issues on any of the benchmark tests.
VRM Temperatures

In this test, we run Cinebench R23 multicore for 20 minutes minimum and then record the temperatures across the mosfets using HWInfo64. The CPU temperatures reached a maximum of 74C, 100% utilization, and 4312MHz. VRM temperatures averaged 55.3C. There was no thermal throttle, and no stability issues were encountered. That’s pretty amazing given this board has no VRM heatsinks.
