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 Mike Ewing

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I thought the BIOS was outdated, in fact it was just junk.

I haven't been able to use this board properly yet because it wasn't compatible with my Ryzen 3 3200G. The board at least turned on and lit up, so I can tell. My more tech savvy (and way smarter than me) friend suggested that I need to update the BIOS with an older processor, so I'm waiting for another processor to come in the mail so I can try that. Very disappointed as I was hoping that a "Revain Renewed" motherboard would come with an updated BIOS. Assuming this is indeed the solution to my problem, I would say it's not worth the money as I had to spend extra money to fix it. UPDATE: DO NOT BUY. At least not refurbished by this seller. After receiving the second processor, I was able to determine that the problem was with the motherboard itself. Tried several processors and none of them were recognized by the motherboard. $150 for a broken processor, full of junk. For this reason I changed my rating from 2 to 1 star.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Some difficulties
