+ Good VRAM configuration for stock frequency builds (8 core or 12 core CPUs). Can sustain light overclocking with an extra ATX12V 4 pin but I wouldn't push it on this board. + Very good number of case fan/argb headers on a Micro-ATX form factor. A total of 3 headers each that can theoretically support 9 argb case fans. Some micro-ATX boards from comparative models cheap out on this end. + Solid number of headers for external USB connectors or ARGB/Fan Hubs. 2 for USB3.2, 2 for USB 2.0. + The board came with the latest BIOS version on Asrock website pre-installed (as of 02/12/25). Very welcomed, no need for a BIOS flashback. + The board also came with 2 SATA data cables for SSD/HDDs (one flat on both ends, and one with an angled connector). For anyone needing those, you're covered. + Basic POST Status checker. + All motherboard parts worked flawlessly with basic Windows drivers. + TC 6000 CL30 worked flawlessly on EXPO.
Easy setup, very stable, great BIOS, easy overclock for RAM
Great product and price. Delivered on time and in excellent condition.
- Relatively understated looks (this is a massive pro for me) - Sane header layout

This is a new design of the B650 board similar look at MSI Z790A MAX WIFi, a great MB., I used it to pair with the newAMD9600x perfect! Has all the function/ efficiency i need . Good Price too, Fall into a nice budget build.,
- Great price compared to other motherboards - No m.2 heatsink fan
Wifi 7 and BT Great number of expansion slots Plenty of USB ports
Works great.
Went from MSI Z690 Pro to this MSI B850 and windows loaded right up. Did not have to do a clean install. I had the Windows USB boot drive installed and instead of asking me for a clean installed, it somehow downloaded what was needed and booted. Remember to have the internet connect through cable. Only problem I had was with Windows recognizing my key but Windows support helped me getting Windows acivated. All good now
This is a good/solid "budget" X870 board that will allow upgrades down the road if needed. The build quality is good for it it's price. I am 100% happy and can't complain. You are getting what your paying.
I did not have to change any default bios settings to successfully boot the machine during the build. Win11 installed with no issues. OC'd the memory and PC is still very stable. Nice selection of USB ports. WIFI is fast.
I just rebuilt my Desktop PC using the Asus TUF Gaming B50-Plus as the heart of the new system and, to this point (been running 24x7 for 2 weeks) it has provided everything I could have asked for. Three M.2 drive slots (and I use all three), plenty of IO options as well as ample fan and ARGB headers. It was compatible with my Ryzan 7800X3D out of the box, without the need to update the BIOS. And it has been stable from the first power on. I went with the 650 because I don't do a lot of overclocking, but, I wanted support for DDR5 RAM<, more than 2 M.2 drives and a host of USB available. This board does not disappoint. I highly recommend this motherboard.
I purchased with no reviews on any of the B850 boards as a gamble. But I don't use alot of the same features as others for there mobo use cases. Easy to set memory overclock, wifi antenna works great. Router is 3 rooms away and I can pick up no problem and get 350mps on a 400mps plan. Definitely use it if your using a bluetooth controller, most people forget your antenna is half wifi, half wifi/bluetooth.
-Divers are super easy to set up -Super fast -easy setup
Easy to use Clearly labeled imo Nice design
Great performance specifically for overclocking. Additional PCIe Lanes compared to the x870 version.
This motherboard works great. No issues with it. I especially like the screwless M.2 drive attachment mechanism. Easy overclocking is the firmware menus. I like that there is no RGB LEDs to brighten up the room when it's running in the dark like many modern boards have.
