- After seeing many reviews for various motherboards, I found that this X870 board performed really well against the competition. It is feature rich. Having wi-fi 7 and 40 gig USB 4.0 is impressive. It is a thicker board with 8 layers instead of 6 which speaks to MSI's build quality. The BIOS is redesigned to appropriately match 2024 standards. The VRM's allow for proper overclocking. Having it be compatible with AMD 9000 series out of the box is great. The quick release button for the reinforced primary PCI-E lane is a great design!

Great value for the cost Older CPU, but still performs very well

Easy to set up, love that AM5 has a built-in backplate on the motherboards so I don't have to buy a separate one. Shipping was fast and 'egg was the only retailer I found with any stock.

as predicted a very good CPU with 65w

I paired this CPU with a RTX 3080 10GB on a 1080p and I'm getting +165 FPS in arc riders epic settings.

- 8 Layer motherboard allows for stable and higher ram speeds. - 5 Gigabit and 2.5 gigabit LAN port - EZ release makes it so much easier to disconnect the graphics card, rather than using your fingers. - NVME SSDS can be installed without using tools! - Wifi 7 and USB 4 (40 gigabit) - Premium motherboard with an elegant bios to match!

many rgb ports for fans etx comes with wifi stick compatibility is great overall great motherboard

Seems to be a great motherboard with many good options and features at a good price point. Installation was incredibly simple. I've had no issues. M.2 slot (with cooler) was easy to use.

Worked great right out of box. No issues.

Processor works as advertised. I have a feeling that there will be a fix soon for the gaming with either a windows or Bios update. I was right the latest bios and windows updates have improved it`s performance. Works much faster and better now.

Very well made construction. Fan covering as you can see is stuff metal so you're not going to have to worry about cheap cover bending. Solid frame hold fan securely and keeps everything quiet. No rattles. Love only using cables needed to maximize air flow. Static main power has nice sheath and rubber strain relief.

The MSI PRO B550M-VC worked well out of the box with a Ryzen 5700G (with onboard Radeon graphics). No BIOS flashing was required. I'm also running F4-3600C16-8GVKC RAM (3600 CL16) using the XMP profile, again w/o issues. SATA and M.2 are working with 2 M.2 SSDs and 8 hard drives.

Nothing but goodness from Arctic Silver.

- PCIe 5.0 x16 for the latest generation of GPUs - M2 Heatsink "Frozr II" - Wifi 7

-supports AM5

- 128gb Ram Supported (4 slots) -1 PCIe 4.0 x16, 1 PCIe 3.0 x16, 1 PCIe 3.0 x1 - M2 Slot - wifi/BT - 2x USB 3.0 Headers - Hyper M.2 (PCIe Gen4x4) - Plenty of latest gen USB ports - 2 USB 3.2 Gen2 (Rear Type A+C), 8 USB 3.2 Gen1 (4 Front, 4 Rear)

3200 XMP runs out of the box with my Ryzen 7 1700 on an ASRock b450 board. RGB looks just as good and works with all the major board RGB software.

-Silent fan mode button for no noise at low load levels. -Came with updated cables.

After installing drivers and upgrading windows 11 the system is so much faster and smoother than my 10th gen cpu z590 asus board that would turn on. The major pros is great price with cheapest 14th gen i5 cpu and runs all my old ram and has wifi for under $100.

Easy peasy setup, was surprised how great its is, shipped very quickly (in less than a week).
