What's the best B550 motherboard out there? What about the B550 Tomahawk, Steel Legend and Mortar? Are they the best value boards? In today's video we look at these three boards as well as the high end Gigabyte, Aorus Master, Taichi and B550-E ROG Strix Gaming from ASUS. This showdown is almost like a review of all 6 contrasted into one video. This is to help you pick out the best board for your needs. I cover Audio, Auto overclocks, Manual overclocks, bios and features, power consumption, temperatures and aesthetics. Enjoy.

*EDIT the ASUS b550 e ROG is working perfectly after the retail bios update!*
