    Motherboard msi B550I Gaming Edge Wifi

    Ebuyer originally claimed they would have stock on June 19th. I had some rather significant doubts and indeed that ended up being the case and they actually have no idea when they will have stock. Ended up going for a 10600k and a Z490i instead. Bit more expensive but didn’t want my other...

    I've been waiting patiently to see what the various B550 ITX boards would bring to the table as I'm wanting to use one in an upcoming NZXT H1 build (once scan get their stock in here in the UK). So far each of them seems to do most of what I'm after but not quite nailing all of them. I...
