Great product! Sturdy vrm for your CPU. Bios chip on the Tomahawk Max saves you the hassle of updating the bios manually. Plug and play :)
Nice and easy, good output Motherboard
Nice and easy, good output Motherboard
An excellently performing motherboard for the Ryzen 5 3600 at a very competitive price. No need to update the BIOS as with older Tomahawk motherboards. Pretty much just works out of the box. Installing RAM and tuning it was as simple as pushing a button in the graphical BIOS.
Note that it does not include built-in WiFi or Bluetooth.
This MoBo is possibly the best board for a mid-tier computer as it pairs very well with the likes of the Ryzen 5 2600 and the 3600. These chips are great value chips and this MoBo allows you to get the best possible outcome with them. It is very easy to overclock on this board and it offers all the necessities for its price range.
Works with Ryzen 3000 straight out of the box and offers great VRM temps, would recommend this B450 board for the price. Overall, Great product by MSI.
This Motherboard is great for its price with some lovely features however I wish it had more USB connectors and recently I have obtained the coil whine making me absolutely hate this product but coil whine can happen to any electronic device I was just unlucky. I also appreciated the reinforced PCIe slot to help GPU Sag.
This Mobo has so many features for it's price, there is really no reason to spend more for X570. Highly recommended for anyone on a budget, or getting into Ryzen, as it has lots of future forward compatibility.
Overclocking was easy on this board, easily the best mid-range b450 mobo out there. Recommend!!
One of the few B450 boards that's Gen 3 ready. If you're looking or a budget board for a no hassle build, this is it.
