- Great layout of USB and fan connectors - Four M.2 slots. Two are supporting PCIe 5.0 - EZ PCIe release and M.2 CLIP II make installation seamless - High-quality audio capacitors

B550 chipset Works with 3400G integrated graphics Has onboard wifi Price Personally I like MSI Bios


At first, bought it without looking at the supported CPUs and the 3200G wasn't officialy supported. But after trying it, it worked just fine! It looks great, have plenty of characteristics and works fine.


- Dual 10Gb Ethernet. - Remote management via OpenBMC or MegaRAC. - Up to 2TB ECC RAM. - Supports Ampere Altra processors up to the 128-core Altra Max.

- Four PCIe slots + two PCIe x1 slots - Built in Wi-Fi 7 & Bluetooth - Lots of rear USB ports - Lots of internal expansion headers - Supports 12th - 14th Gen Intel CPUs

- CPU comes preinstalled - Plenty of PCI slots - Stable under load - Remote management interface

This build was for my cousin. He wanted white/gray build and wanted AMD with a budget of $1500. Paired with AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D and 4070 super. For case we went with Lian Li Lancool 216 White and MSI MAG Coreliquid A13 240 White for the cooler. So far he loves it. It was super easy to install and all the other components matched perfectly. The board has 1x GEN5 plus 2x GEN4 slot along with EZ PCIe release is so convenient. At the back of the board you have WiFi7, 5G LAN, USB4 Type-C and so many other connection options. It is future proof and build quality is very sturdy.

Sleek RGB Lighting Easy to install Packaged with care

Easy to work on, no problems Everything for windows 112 enabled Easy to update bios

PCIE Gen 5 X16 PCIE Gen 5 X8 M.2 PCIE Gen 5 Expander card included WiFi 7 built in, Antenna included 10Gbps Lan 5Gbps Lan 10 layer PCB 2 oz of copper

Very well put together and working flawlessly so far. It has the right set of features for me - Lots of video options and top speed for today (Nov 2022). Good documentation.

- Tons of expansion - 6 x16 PCIe 5.0 slots and 2 x8 MCIO ports. - 8 PWM fan headers allow for complete customization of cooling configuration without needing to use splitters. - BMC allows for remote monitoring and diagnostics. The AST2600 is a big upgrade over the AST2500 from previous boards. - IPMI Serial Over LAN provides logging of everything from when the power button is pressed. - Socketed CPU means you can easily swap processors to for example swap to a CPU with fewer cores but higher per-core speeds.



Was up to last months BIOS. I used I7-13700K with two 16 GB 5600 MT/s DDR5 modules and a Samsung SSD card with Corsair RM1000x ATX Power supply, Arctic liquid freezer II 280 (which was a squeeze into the top of a new Phanteks Enthoo Pro) and it all works great with Windows 11 Pro, running cool 45 degrees C under normal loads.

ran a ryzen 5 3600 with 16gb of ddr4 3600mhz out of the box. wifi works good.
