Interesting. MSI doesn't really have a fantastic reputation for boards, and apparently ASUS's quality isn't that good any more either. :(

For my Ryzen 5000 series build (a while ago now) I went with an ASRock board for ECC support, and also ECC ram.

It's been mostly flawless, though as I'm undervolting the ram it does let me know about an ECC corrected error once every 6-9 months or so. ;)

I don't think there's a lot in it to be honest between vendors. They are all cheap garbage with lurid ass chunks of metal and artwork designed by a 5 year old stuck all over them.

And there's one thing you can NEVER trust and that is objectivity from gamers when looking at failure and reliability statistics. It's one huge cargo cult.

Notably my kids both have Ryzen 5600G + MSI B550 boards with no problems.

I have been using Gigabyte for a very long time and had no problems. ASUS was OK for me too, but MSI boards were the worst due to stability, driver and cooling curve problems. Don’t buy MSI.
