Review on Renewed MSI MPG X570 Gaming Plus Motherboard: AMD AM4, PCIe 4.0, DDR4, SATA 6Gb/s, M.2, USB 3.2 Gen 2, HDMI, ATX by Joseph Campbell

Problems in Every Way. I've built 8 or 9 budget gaming systems in the last 25 years and that's enough to understand motherboards. I spent several days assembling and rebuilding this board to get it working properly. Either the power supply connector didn't fit, then the memory didn't fit, or the damn I/O board is interfering with the connection of peripheral devices. The first two were annoying, the last one was annoying. The I/O shield is a small panel that slides into the back of the case and has small cutouts for a mouse, keyboard, and the like. This device has small metal pins that separate the connectors but instead easily insert into the connector and can interfere with the device connected to it. After finally getting the system up and running I realized I had to stop everything again and remove the motherboard to align the board with the I/O shield. nope Instead, I chose to tear the protective shield off the case and bend the pins back into the correct orientation. It was bad technique and totally unnecessary.
