- Excellent build quality. - Lots of latest gen USB ports for all of my peripherals. - Quick release and lock for the main GPU slot is very quick and useful. - 4 M.2 Slots.


Features for the price, upgraded WiFi, solidly built, looks nice, plenty of fan headers, solid bios,

Beautiful, diy friendly

Easy to install Solid performance

The MSI MAG X870E TOMAHAWK MAX is one the best MB I have purchased over the years. I am loving the rear connect feature makes my build look super clean. I have had zero problems with the MB or any of its many NVME slots. I paired this with a AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D with Team T-Force Delta RGB 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 7200 inside a DeepCool CL6600 WH ATX Hypersplit Tower. I will share a few pics if possible.

Clean look and easy BIOS Keeps my 265k boosted as high as other more expensive boards


This is a one of a kind mother board there are many like it but I felt less stressed with this motherboard. 10 of 10

Bios easy to update and navigate.

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

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

Plenty of I/O, 3 M.2 drives, PCIE5, wifi (haven't tested this yet). Quiet fan curve by default but stays cool, my 250K at 100+ watts is barely over 50, while nothing else on the board is out of the 30's. No issues applying XMP timings. The main workload I bought this for a heavily threaded Python app with a lot pillow usage and perceptual hashing limited by memory bandwidth. This is a whole lot faster than my 11700k and has been rock solid. Probably nothing to stress the 8 phase power delivery, which is fine with me!

Pros: Everything is stable and sufficient for my retro build purposes. Using Patriot DDR5 sticks (not paired at the factory) successfully at CL30 and 6000M/T, an AMD 7600X, and an RX 9060XT. Plenty of SATA connections for SSDs and an internal DVD drive (only running a single NVMe due to RAM shortage) in a SilverStone FLP-02 case.


The motherboard works great and POSTED right away. The WiFi speed is actually incredbile - WiFi 6 is a huge upgrade. On 1.5 Gbps Rogers service, I'm getting over 550 Mbps, which is fantastic. Updated the BIOS right away.


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

One of the only solutions for a Ryzen AM5 motherboard with remote management, ECC memory support, and 10G ethernet. I've run the AM4 version of this ASRock Rack board for years without any issues whatsoever.
