Review on High-Performance 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 Angela White

To save hours of wasted diagnostics and possibly a wasted RMA, before booting this new motherboard, go to the MSI website and download the latest BIOS, copy the file to an OLD Fat32 USB stick . USB stick, rename the BIOS file to MSI.ROM, insert it into the Flash BIOS port and press the Flash BIOS button to start the 10-minute BIOS update (PSU is on , but the computer is powered off - after the firmware boots , the case fans/indicators light up and the flash bios LED blinks ). I spent way too much time diagnosing a no boot and post issue on this motherboard when it came with an old/faulty BIOS that initially wouldn't boot with my Ryzen 5 5600x. Games and great for my accessories. If you are using DDR4 at 3200MHz, make sure you enable XMP in the BIOS so you are not limited to 2133MHz.
