Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great motherboard, works with Ryzen 7 5800X

I got this as part of a Ryzen 7 I made -Builds selected and it works great, highly recommended. Paired with: MSI B550-A PROAMD Ryzen 7 5800XCrucial Ballistix DDR4 RAMCorsair CX Series 550W PSCooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler dies. Installation was easy and straightforward. The BIOS setup was easy. The only problem I had was that after I created the system and started Ubuntu, I had intermittent problems with the keyboard - "sticky" keys, no response, etc. It happened like in Windows, same as in Windows. Linux. Once I updated the BIOS using MSI software for Windows, the keyboard issues went away.

Pros
  • Powerful design: Core Boost, Digital PWM IC, 2oz thick copper PCB, Creator Genie, DDR4 Boost
Cons
  • So far so good
