MSI B550-A PRO vs Asus ROG Maximus XIII Hero

The MSI B550-A PRO was loved by reviewers at Popular Mechanics, a trustworthy source that performs objective hands-on testing. It did great in their "The 8 Best New Gaming Motherboards" roundup - in fact, they named it their "Best Budget AMD". That, by itself, points toward it being a noteworthy Motherboard.

Taking a look at the Asus ROG Maximus XIII Hero, we found that it hasn't managed to perform well enough to earn a spot in any Motherboard roundups done by sources that conduct their own, high-quality, hands-on testing. That alone makes it difficult to recommend.

As a last step, we wanted to do a head-to-head MSI B550-A PRO vs. Asus ROG Maximus XIII Hero comparison of their review performance but, unfortunately, weren't able to find any review ratings on either product.
