MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk Motherboard Review

Overclocking

All of the motherboards in the B550 range managed 4.3 to 4.4 GHz on all cores with a voltage of 1.25 to 1.4v, which is pretty much what we expected. While we’re certainly some of the high-end boards will go higher, this will depend on high-end cooling, load-line calibration tweaks, and being lucky to have a very well picked CPU. Of course, we like to stick within the limits of what your average consumer can do with just a few simple tweaks, as B550 is not an enthusiast setup. We simply applied a new multiplier and voltage settings to get the 4.3 – 4.4 GHz.
