Pros: Short enough to fit in my case. Install was fairly easy. Solved high temp problem

Cons: None

Overall Review: My build used an AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and the stock cooler just wouldn't cut it. Prime torture test could only handle 2 cores without the CPU going over 90C and throttling. With the new cooler it will run all 12 cores and never gets above 73C

Pros: Low price. Decent features.

Cons: Will not support Ryzen 5 5600G out of the box.

Overall Review: The first board I bought I RMA'd because it wouldn't recognize the new Ryzen 5 5600G CPU. The EZ debug LEDs indicated no CPU. The replacement MB did the same thing. It was a new build and I'd swapped the PS with a known good one and removed everything and still no go. I tried to have a chat session with MSI tech support and after sending them my problem they suggested I call sales with no suggestions on what could be wrong. I didn't see anywhere where I could input anything in response to that useless suggestion. I decided to search their forum and discovered that you need the latest Bios to run my CPU and without it the board would do exactly what my board was doing. The board I received was made 12/20 and even though MSI lists the 5600G as a compatible CPU it will only run with the Bios upgrade. The obvious catch here is that you can't upgrade the Bios without a working CPU. Fortunately I had another machine with an early Ryzen CPU that would work. It's a real PITA to swap CPU's back and forth but in the end it works as advertised. I don't like giving a 1 star review for a perfectly fine MB but Newegg and MSI dropped the ball here. While this board does support the latest AMD Ryzen's, what Newegg is shipping will not support them out of the box.
