MSI B450 Pro Carbon

Pros: Not a gamer but this new build is so awesome looking at joy sticks for some WWII combat flying. My motherboard arrived with Bios version 7B85v17. Description: Update AMD ComboPI1.0.0.3ab - Fix RAID issue. Support Ryzen 3000 series CPU. Ryzen 9 3900X/Ryzen 7 3800X/Ryzen 7 3700X/Ryzen 5 3600X/Ryzen 5 3600/Ryzen 5 3400G/Ryzen 3 3200G - Change BIOS UI to click BIOS(GSE-Lite) mode. I setup a Raid 1 configuration in the UEFI / Bios with 3 Crucial SSD MX500 CT500MX500SSD1. CPU-RYZEN 3 2200G, Memory Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 2666 MHz DDR4 DRAM Desktop Gaming Memory Kit 16GB (8GBx2) CL16 BLS2K8G4D26BFSBK (Gray), Power supply TX550M (CP-9020133-NA) only useing the 24-pin ATX main power connector & the 8-pin ATX 12V power connector, works great. Zalman ATX Mid Tower PC Case Z1 Neo & swapped fans with 3 Cougar CFD12HBG 120mm (Green). Nice Quite Build & fast.
Cons: None
Overall Review: I recommend this MSI motherboard for others, ran in to no issues on this build. If this board does fail I'll give it a second try & purchase again. Can't think of anything I would change, it has so many nice features.
First ever DOA HD

Pros: Fast shipment received in two days. Load clicking sounds from Hard Drive and bios beeping did not hurt my computer.
Cons: Requiring a refund on a Hard Drive that had free shipping. Now I am paying $9.85 for shipping to return and being charged $7.20 for restocking fee, total $17.05 and the hard drive only cost $47.99.
Overall Review: Was planning on getting the HITACHI Deskstar P7K500 HDP725050GLA360 (0A35415) 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive instead of a replacement 320GB and eating the return shipping charge but the restocking fee halted that.
