Review on Renewed MSI B450 Tomahawk AM4 Motherboard for Gaming, AMD Ryzen 1st and 2nd Gen, M.2, USB 3, DDR4, DVI, HDMI, Crossfire Support by Ryan Hart

Advantages: 1. Cost2. Screen printing is clearly visible (check out Asus and you'll see what I mean) 3. Reliable power supply supporting Ryzen 9 Gen 2-3 processors with sufficient airflow.4. RGB12V headers top and bottom plus RGB RAM and GPU support for Mystic Link control (no MSI products required). High speed RAM support (especially for Zen+). I'm running a 32GB Single Rank x2 Crucial Ballistix 3200MHz MAX RGB overclocked to 3600MHz with no instability. Plus Zen supports ECC RAM (if you need stability)6. Lots of PWM fan headers (no DC but obviously supports it via BIOS).7. Active support for MSI and frequent BIOS updates to support new features (e.g. Resize BAR for GPUs).8. RGB on the back of the motherboard (if that's your thing).9. MSI's warranty support is excellent.10. USB C&A at 3.1 speed! Great for VR! No PCIe USB expansion card required! Tested with Oculus Rift S, Quest (1), Vive (old version) and Valve Index!11. Zen 3 support!12. The VRM cooling solution is reliable and does a great job of keeping the VRM cool while overclocking! Cons: 1. No RGB5V support (if that's your thing). The SATA ports are hard to reach when your GPU is installed (the bottom ports are not used if you are using NVMe.3. The VRM cooling solution is frustrating to wire things like fans + RGB12V headers. I had to strategically place them perform Heatsinks (there are 4. No heat shield) NVMe screen (but can you really complain about the price?) Circuit board for long-time Zen users Due to the market prices for processors, this is a good solution for those who have Ryzen G with integrated graphics until the best chips fall in price!
