- Working as described

- Best gaming experience

Pretty much the same performance as Ryzen 5 5600G (with PBO +200 Mhz override)

- It's a new AMD cpu. With this being said, I do 100% agree that for similar price, you should go with 7800X3D if you're heavy into gaming. - Undervolted to -15mV, and currently running stable (bought it at release).

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

This is the second MPG Carbon that I've bought to build a PC with. Previously, it was for an Intel processor and this time with the new AM5 AMD socket. The connections and setup were very straightforward. I like the new m.2 setup and ease of installing the m.2 NVMe drive. I didn't use the easy header for the power switch, etc. but that's a nice feature. I paired this with a Fractal North case and that made the installation of some of the connectors on the right hand side of the board challenging. The audio header is located rather far on the board, lower left most corner. My cable reached it after some smart cable management routing though. Didn't compare this audio header location with other manufacturers so not sure if this is unique to MSI. The IO shroud does not come off separately like my previous MSI board so that's good. The backplate for the CPU socket is nice and hefty and I felt it would support the AIO installation just fine.

I had to send it back for repair ( my bad not thiers) really great services.

Solid performer

It was on sale when I got it, semi modular

Asus is the brand I look for, when I need a motherboard. Last 5 boards have been ASUS, with no issues in any. I also have become familiar with ASUS's BIOS, which makes my life easier. I paired this with the Ryzen 5700x, and got a $30 discount, which was nice. A BIOS Flash was required for the 5700x, but it isn't difficult. PCIe 4 Gen 4

-Low power vs the previous generations -Both great gaming and multicore performance -Plenty of IO -Doesn't kill itself like raptor lake -Very tame voltages -Super responsive even vs raptor lake which on paper these should be about the same. -iGPU have av1 encoding so frees my actual gpu for other stuff -Stable and no strange bugs or issues

:came with current bios update so no need to worry about that :Wi-Fi and Bluetooth worked no problem :Wi-Fi speed was getting around 450-500

- PCI-E 5.0 support on the x16 slot for current gen GPU's that use 5.0 - 3 m.2 slots for easy expansion - Lots of IO for fans, rgb, USB, ect, more than 99% of people will ever use - Moveable antena for the wifi/bluetooth is nice (my previous board had just 2 that stuck out and couldn't be moved, so it sometime struggled to pick up my bluetooth keyboard) - I got it for a pretty good deal for a B850 board that won't blow up CPUs - 10$ steam code included with purchase is a nice bonus - I really liked the mounting mechanism for the 4x4 m.2 slot, it's easy to use and removes the need to mess around with tiny screws - WiFi 7 & 5 gig lan at this price point is really nice

None havent gotten it yet

-Great value for what it provides in terms of features -Elementary for your MATX builds for technical folks

-East to setup -Great software -3 M.2 slots, 1 Pci-E 4.0 AND 1 Pci-E 3.0 slot! -Reliable company that stands behind their product

Was able to set them up and customize the rgbs easily

Comes with everything you need. Allows you to use the new power cable required for the 40 Series Nvidia GPU

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.
