Price is better than most Can upgrade to Zen 3 4 dimm slots 8 pin power (no sure if that's standard now) Wifi and bluetooth built in (can't speak for the wifi but my bluetooth headphones can reach half way across the house before cutting out)

AM5 socket, ease of use, heatsink for gen 5 drive, pcie 5.0 compatible, plenty of RGB and fan/aio headers, sleek black look for black builds. USB-c on back panel, easy to use bios.

-Easy install -Everything needed nothing more -3 M2 slots -Looks great -Wifi 7 and Bluetooth


- Although not a fan of WIFI when gaming, Its pretty handy to have just incase I suddenly lose my internet then I can just tether it to my phone data. - Premium solid build quality

This has been a breeze since my older b650e riptide board died on me this board was a panic purchase. for 150 on sale this was a great board and is a good board. i hope i can get 5-10 years out of it with the 10 usb ports anbd future cpu upgrade.



Best power delivery for the money, likely sufficing til 2030 for upgrades, if AMD does as they promised. Fast memory training 30 second reboots (Fastest of any AM5 motherboard) Cold VRMs under any load Great UEFI UI

- All black color choice makes it very easy to fit into a themed build - Has features from more expensive boards - Great VRM will handle 3900x/3950x - MSI motherboard bios

Attractive board, not gaudy, no RGB shenanigans, great possibilities 5G Lan port, runs 2.5 effortlessly Ports/connections clearly marked Extra 8-pin PCIe power socket located on lower motherboard 45-60 second memory learning, better than some BIOS update easy


Full speed Wi-Fi 7 5 Gbps Ethernet two-digit debug display

Workability, Usability, esthetics, was very easy to install and set up. It lets my components breathe and work to the nine without any issues. Set it up with dual boot of windows and a specially made kali linux version they did for me.

Sturdy Upgrade from previous MSI motherboards The placements have improved with SATA I think I enjoy the pins on the motherboard rather than the CPU Overall just better

Small and works good Bios flashback was a nice Its a motherboard

This board is extremely stable , bios is easy to understand and navigate . Really like the Asus fan settings , quick and easy to setup. I strongly suggest updating to bios 0821 took care of many issues . Played well with my gskill 5200 memory . I also liked that it auto disabled the IGP , I have a NVIDIA card so no need of a IGP Board is well made with enough tweaking options , but not so much as to be confusing . Onboard lan worked under linux , running Manjaro w/no issues .

Style Features Design Quality

Has everything you need

Good amount of m.2 slots for a gaming motherboard, everything was easy to install on it and it was quite resistant to how much pressure I applied to it while installing the GPU. Nice look as well
