I am coming from a B650E motherboard with weaker RAM support. So far this board has been very strong and runs my DDR5 at 6200MT/s. I have not tried 2:1 mode and higher frequencies, but thanks to others who have reviewed this board, that looks like a certain possibility. The hardware on the board works well. It has a Qualcomm FastConnect 7800 for WiFi/Bluetooth. It has an ALC4080 for Audio, which notoriously had a lot of issues at launch back in 2021, but luckily I haven't had any issues so far. Despite being a tweaker, I do like to let my boards AUTO things when it's reasonable and works, and this board does a good job. My RAM's voltages are fully set by the board. It also does good with RAM drive strengths. I was also drawn back to MSI because they are clearly more aggressive and speedy with their BIOS updates. They were the first with AGESA PI-1.2.02b, weeks before everyone else. And as an AM5 and Zen 5 user, this is important. I do not want to wait 4-6 extra weeks for updates on a current platform that is taking in many users and rapidly evolving.


This was my first build in 8 years and I feel like things are a lot easier. Board has features to make your life easy with error codes, LED for what could be wrong, power/Reset right on the board.. It's great!


Works like a dream. Runs anything I need.

Very low price Has all the features I wanted (nvme, wifi, 4 dimm slots) Worked out of the box with a ryzen 4000 chip (updated bios from the factory)

- Good price point for B550 - Very good rear I/O - Good amount for fan headers - Neutral color scheme - Offers M.2 Wi-Fi support - Decent VRM and heatsink

So far mobo has been great and had no problems. I was doing a red/black themed build and this was just perfect. Really like that not only is the mobo themed but the bios as well. Did wanted a Jargb header on the top of the board by the CPU pump but that's just a nitpick.


This thing is packed with features, lots of high power consumption consideration (considering it's an OC Monster). Tons of ease and quality of life features like the EZ PCI-E Release, the M.2 quick release hold downs, and white peripherals.

Has usb-c front connect, flash bios, many pcie slots, double m.2 and 4 ram slots. Plenty of headers for your fan and for your aio pump too.

It has plenty of room for memory expansion, usb and wi-fi. And I like that I can add up to 4 HDD drives for video and music storage if I wanted to go that route. The BIOS interface was easy to navigate.

Has all the bells and whistles I wanted. Seems Durable and weighs much more than I expected. Great QoL features for people like me who are building a new PC for the first time.

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.

No issue at all Paired with 9900X with 7900 GRE and it works like a charm I went back to AMD because of Intels problem

The board itself is a very nice board. The memory that came with it was very nice memory too. The two together work.

Easy installation Everything fit together smoothly with no hassle. Reliable performance Runs cool and stable, making for a stress-free build experience.

- 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

M.2 slot lga 1700 everything is great even has a c port slot which is nice idk what I would use it for

This is an awesome board so far. Plenty ports for fans, cooling and lights.
