The mobo showed up a day early, very nice. Pretty straightforward install, I did look up the manufacturer diagram for the power pin connection. The mobo has it laid out and it is accurate, just wanted to double check everything before attempting the first boot. The spacing is good, doesn't feel too cramped with my ram and GPU.

AM5 Socket 3x NVME slots PCI-E 5.0 Nice design.

I love the clips for the m.2 slots so I do not have to deal with screws that's nice. Also the board seems sturdy and not made cheap.

Love how easy it is to change or take out the gpu.

First, let me say how heavy this board is. Seriously, it feels as if they used the military components that tuf claims they use. It has a super premium feel. The amount of I/O is extraordinary. Total of 12 usb ports including 5 -usb 3.2 gen 1, 2 -usb 3.2 gen 2, and a usb-c. The audio is top notch with premium capacitors. I also love the new easy magnetic port for the new wifi antenna. Just one less hassle during your build. Speaking of the build, everything was very easy to install and setup and it all just worked. Very hard to find any negatives.

The board had everything I needed functionally.

Went from MSI Z690 Pro to this MSI B850 and windows loaded right up. Did not have to do a clean install. I had the Windows USB boot drive installed and instead of asking me for a clean installed, it somehow downloaded what was needed and booted. Remember to have the internet connect through cable. Only problem I had was with Windows recognizing my key but Windows support helped me getting Windows acivated. All good now

The board itself is a very nice board. The memory that came with it was very nice memory too. The two together work.

- muted aesthetic - easy to use BIOS - built-in WiFi and Bluetooth - good I/O selection

-Solid board with great VRAMS cooling/heatsinks and build quality! The motherboard itself is pretty and minimalist and comes with RGB settings (in the BIOS). -Comes with most of your usual features: Clear CMOS, Flashback, WIFI, etc. -Room for future SSDs upgrade, It can support 2+ M.2s (*make sure to read the manual/pdf)

- Test bench setup and posted within 20 minutes. - Reasonably priced. - Latest B model motherboard. - Built in WiFi for a good price.

It recognized my 9800x3d right out of the box. It runs my pair of DDR5 6000 ram on EXPO settings with no issue. The built-in WIFI is stellar as compared to a USB wifi adapter I was using on my old rig. It connects to my wireless network waking up from sleep before I can even pull up the start bar to check.

- helpful ease of use features - lots of headers to support tons of connections

Clean white aesthetic Solid build Easy Installation, no issues

future proof for new amd cpus huge heat sinks, including for the m.2 ssd pcie gen 4 very heavy and reinforced usb c and usb 3.2

- Using it with Ryzen 7600x at the moment, no problem at all running at it's clock! - Memory is very stable at 6000, not causing any problems at all - BIOS is very easy to use, because it is everything at his place!

Good price for the features compared to other AM5 motherboard alternatives Decent placement of connectors for clean cable management Higher end sound chip Looks good for an all black setup

Overall the board seems very good. Good heat sinks on nvme m.2 slots. Larger sinks are put on the gen 5 slot also. Lots of headers for fans, rgb, usb, and sata. Usb 4 ports on back are nice for a touch screen monitor using one usb-c cable, and seem fast for external nvme drives. There is also a 30 watt usb-c port which is handy. All the external ports are 10gbps, except both the usb 4 ports are 40gbps, and the ethernet port is 5g. The wifi 7 works great as does the Bluetooth also.

- Great price compared to other motherboards - No m.2 heatsink fan

PCIe 16x slot no lane sharing
