MOTHERBOARD
OCPC B550 motherboards offer a great balance for AMD AM4 builds, featuring PCIe 4.0 support, dual M.2 slots (often one PCIe 4.0/3.0, one PCIe 3.0), robust power delivery (VRMs) for Ryzen CPUs, advanced cooling (heatsinks, thermal pads), fast connectivity (2.5Gb Ethernet, USB 3.2 Gen 2), high-quality audio, and features like BIOS FlashBack, AI Noise Cancellation, and RGB headers, providing strong performance and features without the higher cost of X570 boards.
UPGRADE | Memory
Upgrading from DDR4 to DDR5 offers significant performance gains through higher speeds (bandwidth), greater capacity, and better power efficiency, making it ideal for future-proofing, demanding applications (AI, heavy multitasking, high-end gaming), and maximizing CPU potential, though it requires a new motherboard and CPU that support DDR5.
