Plenty of slots for NVME drives A real premium feel that can be felt when handling the board quick easy mounting NVME drives Quality heatsinks for NVMEs and VRMs Simple bios for new builders and more in depth for veterans and some fun leds that can be disabled in the bios beautifully design and looks great in white build


Lots of premium features and 10gb lan

Lots of headers Easy front panel pin connectors

Bought this MB with a Raptor Lake i5 to replace my old Asus Zxx MB and Kaby Lake i7 that were not capable of upgrading to Windows 11. Reused my old CM PS, CM Heatsink, Nvidia card and even my old 16GB of PC4 RAM. Booted-up and it automatically booted Windows 10 from my old SSD. I was then able to "Upgrade" to Windows 11 (rather than having to buy a new copy) and it has worked perfectly. When I first started doing builds 30 years ago, if you changed the CPU, MB or HD, you had to start all over. Not this time. Don't know why?

Easy to work on, amazing features, and so many fan ports/ RGB

Reasonable price. Smooth setup. Everything working as expected.

Plenty of options for top end setups

Looks great A lot of IO Easy to build with Good price

+ Very good value, sensible board options + Heat sinks on CPU and RAM power stages + 3x ARGB headers (I never thought that would be relevant for me, but it turns out that it was) + 3x M.2 slots allowing for 4x Gen 5, 4x Gen 4, and 2x Gen 4 simultaneously + I like the BIOS, but I am very used to the ASRock layout, mostly from my X470 Taichi days

I love that the MSI MAG X870s Tomahawk design ensures the PCIe 16x slot gets full bandwidth, perfect for maximizing GPU performance.

Easy setup paired with 5600x

This board while not being the Top Of The Line it is still a great pick for the price and the features it comes with. This is my second MSI mobo and I didn't encounter any issues getting it delivered, out of the box and installed. I chose this board for the AM5 compatibility and the DDR5. This board does have overclocking support as well. The MSI store (US) has a great support page for drivers and BIO's updates as well as a forums area to find answers to any questions you might have.

36°C on full load, this motherboard works very cool. Easy to install fans, multiple Argb connection available. Asus did well on this B850 mobo, everything works pretty well. Worked out of the box with my Ryzen 5 9600X.

Appears to be well put together. I'm a first time builder, so it took a while to double check everything I did. Once I figured out that I forgot to plug in the 8 pin power to the motherboard, the startup went as avertised. I did buy a M.2 wifi adapter. I have had these little cards work without an antenna, but this M.2 slot is under the video card, so I had to get antennas. Some of the antenna cables are only about 20 cm long, but this card needs at least a 24 cm cable. 30 cm is better.

- Built-in WIFI & Bluetooth with 2 antennas that work great! - Has 4 slots for DDR5 as well as 2 M.2 spots! - BIOS can be updated with just a flash drive and hitting the QFLASH button on the motherboard! - Worked out of the box without tweaking the BIOS! - With the Console software, I have full control over my system including my RGB lights! - Has a USB-C port in the back! - The toolless M.2 drive spot works great and keeps my NVME drive in place and doesn't allow it to wiggle.

I went with this Motherboard because it had all the features I needed/wanted and the black aesthetics as you'll be able to see with the system I'm building. The quality of this board is absolutely perfect, that's another reason I went with MSI as they have been around for a long time. Everything was pretty easy to install and get everything going/working, with this board, just do your research before hand to make sure you do not have compatibility issues and read some instructions. You can find out all the info on the MSI support site. So, I have only had this running for a short while and I have no complaints. I will update this once I have used it for a few months, other than that I am a happy MSI customer.

Easy peasy setup, was surprised how great its is, shipped very quickly (in less than a week).

I really like all the usb ports, last one didn't have enough. Didn't have any trouble with setup, researched everything before buying to make sure. The build quality is really good and looks good.
