Question 1

What kind of tower does this board work with? I'm new to the whole computer building thing, and just want to be sure that this will fit in a Midi tower computer, specifically this one- https://www.newegg.com/black-be-quiet-pure-base-atx-micro-atx-mid-tower/p/2AM-0037-00071 and even though it may fit, would it be compatible? I wanna spend my stimulus check as well as I can lol

Accepted Answer

From the newegg page you provided for that case, look under the  "Specifications" section. 
The mother board, (aka Mainboard) indicates it is an "ATX", and your Case's page says:
"Motherboard Compatibility Micro ATX / ATX / Mini-ITX".

Having said that, the  case is also listed as "Mid" Tower ("Midi looks like a typo). A full size ATX will potentially be a tight fit in a Mid tower as opposed to a Full Tower - Poke around on You tube for a review of the Be Quiet case - mainboard fitment is often a key part of any review.

Question 2

wifi?

Accepted Answer

I do not believe so to my knowledge it is separate.  I have mine plugged into ethernet.  Really nice mobo for the price especially with tomahawk b450's on backorder.  Happy with it so far.

Question 3

Is this board compatible with nvidia cards?

Accepted Answer

Yes it will work with just about any video card on the market. Its 3.0 If you want to get a newer pci 4.0 card you need a 570 board.

Question 4

what power supply do you recommend?

Accepted Answer

PS were in short supply when I bought mine.  I do NOT recommend the Thermaltake Smart 600W; it burned out right away.  The Apexgaming AG-750M seems OK even though it's lighter than the Thermaltake.  I'm not a gamer, nor a miner, so I should not be pressing the PS.

Question 5

will this motherboard work with Ryzen 5 3400g?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Ryzen 5 3400g will work in this motherboard.

Question 6

will this board work with an evga card?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I have the MSI X470 Gaming Plus (Non-max version), and yesterday, (01 July 2020), I installed an EVGA 2070 Super Black Gaming.

TLDR for below: You might only see one monitor working until the Nvidia drivers are installed if you have multiple monitors.

It works great, but if you have a dual monitor setup, I recommend disconnecting your second monitor during the install and only plug it back in after the Nvidia driver package is installed. Even if Windows can (normally would) detect the second monitor, it seems nvidia cards need their drivers loaded before they will report the 2nd screen to the OS.

Question 7

Does this require a bios upgrade before you can use a 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen?

Accepted Answer

(I just bought this one myself and had to re-read the prodcut description)

Newegg's product page indicates this 'Max' version of the MSI X470 Gaming Plus, "...supports 1st, 2nd and 3rd  Gen AMD Ryzen"

I also have the MSI X470 Gaming Plus. (no 'max' in the name) and that supports 1st and 2nd gen only.

TLDR; MSI updated the former to support the new 3rd Gen Ryzen. I'm (not) 100% certain that they also added all the features of, for example, the X570 line.

Question 8

Will this work with a Ryzen 5700G?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the MSI X470 GAMING PLUS MAX AM4 ATX AMD Motherboard supports AMD Ryzen with Radeon Vega Graphics Processors, which includes the Ryzen 5700G.

Question 9

Does this support 2.5" SSDs with SATA III interface?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this motherboard supports 2.5" SSDs with SATA III interface through its 6 x SATA 6Gb/s ports.

Question 10

Is this Brand New? or is it used?

Accepted Answer

The product is brand new.
