Pros: The pros of this board are the faster Pcie bus as I have a pcie 4.0 ssd and it is significantly quicker as my PC-Mark scores went up. I like the layout and the Asus utility installed the latest drivers flawlessly as does the wife's laptop. The wifi will be of use when I move my pc away from the bridge.

Cons: The expense of the board compared to previous 450m boards and a possible delay that I'm having with the internet connection when awakened.

Overall Review: I would certainly recommend this board for Ryzen chips that support Pcie 4 as the 570 has a cooling fan and matx boards are almost impossible to find. Please note it doesn't support older Ryzen chips!!!!

Pros: Works well with my new intel build and gives decent frames rates in various benchmarks for the money

Cons: The card in my AMD build (not a new install like the intel build) would reboot the machine during Facebook videos and also in some benchmarks. Not usable.

Overall Review: If you can get this card at a good price and you aren't a gamer this card will work nicely in a Intel box. If you have a AMD machine beware.

Pros: Improved network speed and wifi. Better slot placement than the PRO 650m A board. The pci slot for expansion cards is full length so I can use a 10G network card and it has an extra PCI-E 8 pin connector for power for PCIE 5 SSD.

Cons: When updating to the latest BIOS don't change the BIOS file name to MSI.ROM else it won't work. The mflash worked well which is better than the previous board as I always had to use the bios flash button. Also the 8 pin connector by the bottom pci slot is PCI-E cable not a CPU cable so keep this in mind when installing the power supply.

Overall Review: Yes I would recommend this board and I would disable the MSI centre from installing in the Advanced BIOS. It is bloated and not necssary if you visit the MSI site for updates for the bios and get your chipset drivers from AMD and let windows do the rest. Download your GPU driver as well from the vendor.

Pros: Energy efficient, good graphics for a cpu, NPU

Cons: cpu cores aren't as fast the 7000 series no pcie 5 but there is 4 so its quick enough for data thru put for the pcie ssd Motherboard will need the newest bios which wasn't a problem for my MSI board. There is a needed update to prevent premature thermal Throttling and older bios won't recognize the 8000 series.

Overall Review: I would recommend this cpu for someone that wants a power efficient pc and isn't planning to add a video card for now. My gaming doesn't require high frame rates and eye candy graphics. Also I have done benchmarks for memory at 4800 and the recommended 6000hz. For CPUZ single threaded with from 682 to 688 and multithreaded from 5465 to 5490. Not much difference. 3D Mark CPU Profile maximum went from 6467 to 6432. Eight threads 5589 to 5605 and single thread 1008 to 1009. No improvement. 3D Mark Wild Life extreme went from 4112 to 4674, about a ten percent gain. Night Raid started at 31113/14254 and increased to 35604/14599. Assassin Creed Vahala went from 34 FPS to 37 FPS and Furmark from 26 FPS to 32 FPS. Lastly PC-Mark 10 extended went from 6636 to 6974 mostly due to the improvement in graphics with the higher RAM speed. The 8600g has a NPU for AI but nothing readily available to test this feature. Overall its a nice processor if you need or want integrated graphics, are not looking for the highest single threaded performance and want to build a cool and quiet PC.

Pros: This card is quiet and runs cool and and much quicker than a rtx3050 at similiar power requirements. Asus has a quiet mode for this card which I haven't tested yet.

Cons: May become sold out or cheaper when the competion is out.

Overall Review: If you haven't upgraded for awhile and don't need a powerful graphic card this is got to be the most power efficient card available with the ability to show off some raytracing available now! Thank you Nvidia

Pros: The card runs quiet and cool. Works well with my AMD Ryzen 5600. Bought this card for a computer that doesn't game and wouldn't be a burden on the AC.

Cons: The Nvidia 1650 is a faster cards for games. This card works best with PCIE 4 processor and will give almost the same performance but not with a processor that has a slower PCIE 3 bus. No dvi connector. Could be cheaper.

Overall Review: Yes if you have the right processor and undemanding games, The dual fans ensure cool quiet operation.
