This is the best motherboard Ive ever owned. I upgraded my PC after a long time, and despite being away from building for years, it was incredibly easy to use. I now have peace of mind with my 9800X3D, as this board is one of the best pairings for it. BIOS accessibility and the wide range of onboard features make the building process that much easier. I especially appreciate the toolless M.2 slots and the fact that theres no PCIe lane sharing between the GPU and NVMe drives a major win for performance stability. The onboard Wi-Fi 7 is also blazing fast and rock solid. Additionally, the debug LEDs and clear CMOS button on the rear I/O are super handy for troubleshooting. The robust 22+2+1 VRM setup with a large heatsink ensures reliable performance even under heavy loads, making it a great choice for gaming and productivity alike.


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 to set up lots of space

Elegant design Reliable board Board runs cool with all the heatsinks Reasonable price

This is one of the best MB!

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

Looks great No gpu bifurcation Easy m.2 install pannel (4 total not bad) Good vrm and copper 8 layer pcb


Decent rear io, WiFi & Bluetooth built in, 4 film slots, 2x gen 4.0 NVME slots, decent power delivery system for higher end power hunger chips & support for all the latest gen Ryzen cpus out.

There are a lot of good things I can say about this motherboard, but briefly: - The EZ M.2 clips on the heatsink make it very easy to work with, and don't require any screws. - The back panel I/O includes more than I, or most people, will ever need. - The layout is well thought out - The features on this motherboard offer a good value - The EZ DIGI-DEBUG LED makes troubleshooting a breeze, should you have any issue with the system. - The UEFI is easy to use and setup.

Very sturdy motherboard, looks fantastic, easy setup, perfect amount of features, plenty of USB ports, minimal lane-sharing issues, easy to use BIOS

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 goods I have purchased form Canadian Newegg over the years, never, Never disspoited me. Allways all came on time and NEVER anything was " box open " Very relable place to get the componets from.


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.
