-Robust VRM -POST Code -Multiple USB4 ports -Overclocking performance, especially for memory
Good, cheap, adequate
3 nvme slots Good wireless Like UEFI bios, upgrading from circa 2010 lol
Gets the job done
Sharp/clean looking board Built in Wi-Fi Well thought out design
GPU + NVME PCI 5.0 Power/CMOS Clear buttons Easy to install components Lots of fun settings to tweak and mess with Lots of fan and rgb headers
Easy to setup. Good Bios and software. Works good with RAM without major tweaking. Good placement of coolers for Small Form Factor build.
Style Features
Plug and play without any issues Works great with 9900X 4 M.2 slots
Windows 11 compatible. (Caution: Not all ASRock B450s are officially Windows 11 compatible! But this one is compatible.) Paired with AMD Ryzen 5 5600 Bios is easy to use. (Note: My use is not gaming.)
I like that it has enough Fan and Fanopt headers to run an AIO (Im using a fan hub to run the rest of my case fans). I like that it has two NVME slots. and it looks cool.
Excellent onboard features. Everything you could want on a motherboard. Beautiful graphics on VRM. Awesome accessories included
I bought this in a bundle with 32 gb of DDR4 in order to upgrade my current i5 7600k. Install went well, and everything is running great. The price was right to update to windows 11 on the cheap and leave some room for a future cpu/gpu upgrade.
Hefty and Strong. Built like a tank. Works as it should
3 tool-less NVMe slots, 4 SATA, upgraded audio (ALC1220), and overall looks great!
This is the first premium motherboard Ive bought, and honestly, Im really happy with it. Everything about it feels high quality, and it fits perfectly with the rest of my build. The color of the board and the MSI RGB logo go really well with my setup, which makes the whole thing look clean and put-together. One thing I didnt expect to like as much as I do is the shape and design especially the SSD cover. Its a small detail, but it gives the board a unique look that really stands out. Little things like that make a difference when youre staring into your case through a glass panel. Performance wise, its been solid. It runs great with all my other parts and hasnt given me any problems so far. Everything boots up fast, runs smoothly, and it handles games and multitasking like a champ. I also love how easy it is to work with. The PCIe slot makes it simple to install or remove my GPU, which I really appreciate since I tend to swap parts now and then. There are also plenty of ports for extra connections, which has been super handy for my setup.
Everything works as described and as I expected.
Very high quality at least 3 pounds of metal heatsinks Looks amazing Can overclock CPU Easy to use BIOS Very fast RAM support
My motherboard purchase from new egg was very good. The board was new in a sealed box with all parts and worked perfect for my son's new build. I tried purchasing a board from Am-a-zon. What a disaster that was. First time they sent me an opened box, likely used board. Returned. Secured board was DOA and wouldn't turn on. New egg was a way better experience.
latest ports support.
