Everything about the purchase suits me, a very necessary product.

I didn't take off 1 star because of the USB connectors - this is an insignificant drawback. The rest of the mother is worthy. Sturdy, well built, nothing to complain about. The Crucial memory immediately started up at the stock frequency of 2666, without changing the profile (I write because MSI started the memory at low frequencies).

Pros
  • Fast start. Let's say MSI on the same chipset loads the BIOS for a very long time, which unpleasantly surprised me. Convenient location of the Clear Cmos jumper - if you drive the memory to too high frequencies, it is convenient to reset the BIOS. The memory slots are far enough away from the processor that the cooler does not block them. Sometimes a couple of millimeters is not enough, especially if the memory is with a heatsink.
Cons
  • Connectors for additional USB 2.0 brackets on the front. I have not seen cases where there would be 4 USB 2 connectors in the front, but sometimes you need to put an additional plank in the back. There may not be enough cord length for the bar.

The purchase brought only positive emotions.

I put in a ryzen 3600, one hyperX rgb 16 gb 3200 board, a couple of ssds, and a GTX 760 2GB raisin on the cake. Works great, there is still room for an ondoy memory bar. I'm not worried about dual channel. In two words, I DO NOT SEE A PROBLEM. Took everything before the "price epidemic". Stone for 11k, memory for 6.5. Mom for 4.5k. I consider this a success.

Pros
  • Compactness, location of connectors, possibilities.
Cons
  • Not for use with RGB switches. M2 connector between the processor and video card. The ssd heats up well in this arrangement.

Good quality product, I rate this purchase excellent.

I assembled my brother on it first R3 2200g + 2x8 RAM Samsung TB1 3200 CL 16 Now I added RX 470 4gb and was surprised that there is no SAM in the BIOS. My MSI b450 PRO VDH PLUS has SAM and is paired with the RX 480. Even the FPS actually increased by 5% in Divine Divinity 2. I haven’t tested other games yet, and I won’t anymore. no longer needed.

Pros
  • fast boot Price 4000-5000 January 2022 You can put Ryzen 5600x and other junk from the 5000 series A big plus is that there is a DVI output. You can hang two and even the 3rd one on VGA (there are mothers without DVI, I almost bought one)
Cons
  • As I understand it, even with the latest BIOS 4.40 and the ated AGESA, the motherboard does not allow the SAM function to be enabled. There is Above 4g decoding but SAM does not seem to be. In principle, if this is the case, then we lose 5-15% of the FPS from the video card. Is that a lot. There is no cooling on the VRM, but it is also not clear whether it is needed if we put 4-6 65 Watt cores here.

The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

The fee is the same as everything in this price segment. Nothing outstanding, everything is predictably simple and moderately reliable. With its pros: The usual board for systems without overclocking. Everything is simple and without problems. Set and forget. Has cons: This is the price. But this is most likely a disadvantage of the exchange rate than this motherboard.

Impressions from the purchase are good, buy.

Got pros: I bought for 4400, I am satisfied with the purchase. Ability to work with VEGA 8. I overclocked the RAM on it from 2400 to 3000. Its cons: There are no radiators for the processor power system, two slots for RAM.

Perfect product for any user!

I didn't deduct 1 star because of the USB ports because this is a minor flaw. The mother's remaining time is honorable. Strong, well-made, and lacking nothing. Without altering the settings, the Crucial memory immediately booted up at the stock frequency of 2666. (I write because MSI started the memory at low frequencies).

Pros
  • quick start. Let's assume MSI uses the same chipset and loads the BIOS quite slowly, which I found to be annoying. Convenient location of the Clear Cmos jumper makes it easy to restart the BIOS if you run the RAM at excessively high frequencies. The processor is sufficiently removed from the memory slots so that the cooler does not obstruct them. Sometimes a few millimeters are insufficient, particularly if the RAM has a heatsink.
Cons
  • additional USB 2.0 bracket connectors on the front. Although I have not encountered situations where there would be four USB 2 ports in the front, there are instances when you need to add a plank to the back. The length of the cord might not be sufficient for the bar.

I didn't expect the quality to be so high.

I added a GTX 760 2GB as the icing on the cake and a ryzen 3600 with one hyperX rgb 16 gb 3200 board and a few of solid state drives. It's effective, and you can still fit an ondoy memory bar in there somewhere. As regards to dual channel, I have no concerns. What I want to say is that I simply don't see a problem. snatched up everything before the price spike. 11k for a stone, 6.5k for your memory. We paid $4.5k for mom. To me, that is success.

Pros
  • Coziness, Portability, and Connectivity.
Cons
  • Avoid using with RGB-enabled switches. Interconnect type M2 for CPU and GPU. With this setup, the ssd heats up quickly and efficiently.

Great quality, did not expect at all for the price.

My brother was the first person I assembled on it, using an R3 2200g with 2x8 RAM Samsung TB1 3200 CL 16 Now that I've added the RX 470 4GB, I discovered to my astonishment that the BIOS does not support SAM. My graphics card, an RX 480, is connected with the MSI b450 PRO VDH PLUS, which features SAM. Even the frames-per-second count managed to climb by 5% in Divine Divinity 2. I have not tried any other games, nor do I want to do so in the future. no longer needed.

Pros
  • quick lace-up Prices ranging from 4000-5000 The month of January in 2022 You are able to install a Ryzen 5600x alongside other 5000-series garbage. There has a DVI output, which is a very useful feature to have. You are able to hang two of them on VGA, and even the third one (there are mothers without DVI, I almost bought one)
Cons
  • To the best of my knowledge, the motherboard does not support enabling the SAM function, even when updated to the most recent version of the BIOS (4.40), which is ated AGESA. Above 4g decoding is possible, but SAM does not appear to support it. In theory, if this is the case, then we lose anything from 5-15% of the frame rate that the video card provides. Is that a lot to ask for? The VRM does not have any cooling, although it is unclear whether or not it would be necessary if we were to add four to six 65-watt cores in this location.

The perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

Despite appearances to the contrary, only 1 video card and 2 memory cards are supported (not Mini-ITX after all). I installed an R5 2600X, an RX580, two sticks of 8GB DDR4 RAM from Corsair Vengeance, one M.2 SSD, two hard disk drives, and an optical drive. The system is fully functional.

Pros
  • You can fit everything you need, including the essentials, into a space that is little bigger than the average office.
Cons
  • A restricted number of available spaces for electronic parts.

Beyond praise! The product definitely deserves your attention.

It doesn't crunch, unlike what someone wrote! The ryzen 2200g, 16 liters of RAM, two 3.5-inch hard drives, an SSD, a GTX 1060, and three gates all booted up without any issues.

Pros
  • Excellent bios were the starting point for everything in 2022.
Cons
  • the plastic fragrance you get when you use the board to open the packaging.

No complaints, I recommend to buy.

A very budget-friendly anti-crisis office and gaming solution was required.)) An assembly with a Ryzen 3 3200G processor, a Toshiba P300 1Tb hard drive, a G. Skill Aegis 8Gb x 2 RAM, a DeepCool Grammax 200T cooler cost 18,900 in the summer of 2022. It launched immediately with the new processor. It turned out that you can disperse it a little. The processor in turbo mode accelerates to 4.0-4.1 MHz when the core supply voltage rises to 1.35 V. The memory started up even at 3400 MHz, but I…

Pros
  • The price / quality ratio is quite acceptable. Earned immediately. Allows moderate acceleration. The graphics core is more than enough for office applications. It is quite enough for toys in a sparing mode (without fanaticism). The board has three different video outputs, sound and video are quite decent. Good and inexpensive board on socket AM4.
Cons
  • The latest driver v202220222022_19H1_WHQL produces a green screen when using a dynamic video splash screen. I had to install an older version v2022.502022.01_WHQL and everything became fine.

Satisfactory product quality, good price.

Asrock on an old FM2+ socket served me faithfully for 5 years and still works. I hope this motherboard will please me with the same service life, or even more. Bought for Ryzen 1600. Pros: The cheapest B450 chipset motherboard on the market. Well, one of the most. Therefore, it is not without flaws. For initial "stones" and average ones without overclocking. My bios version is 42022 which supports Ryzen 5000 series out of the box With its cons. 1. In fact, this is the same motherboard as on the

The quality is at the level, I am satisfied with everything.

Pros below: Rev.4 from the store was flashed with bios p32022 (I took it in two different places), Ryzen 3 3200G wound up without dancing with a tambourine. The CMW16GX4M2C3000C15 memory started up by default at a low frequency, but the 3000 profile is easily selected in the BIOS without the need to manually set the latency and voltage. Three types of video outputs (VGA / DVI / HDMI) allow you to use old, but still alive, monitors for a long time. Has some cons This can hardly be considered a…

A good quality product, I rate this purchase perfectly.

Someone wrote that it crunches - but it doesn’t crunch! 16 liters of memory, 2 3.5 hard drives + SSD + gtx 1060 + 3 gates and ryzen 2200g started up without problems.

Pros
  • Everything started from the box, excellent bios in 2022.
Cons
  • The smell of plastic when you open the package with the board.

I'm amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

Only 1 video card and 2 memory cards, although the form factor implies more (not Mini-ITX after all). I assembled R5 2600X, RX580, 2x Corsair Vengeance 8GB, 1 M.2, 1 SSD, 2 HDD, optical drive on it. Everything is working.

Pros
  • Compact size, everything you need is in place, not just "for the office".
Cons
  • Minimum supply of slots for components.

The worst product for your money, I do not recommend it to anyone.

Never again will I take a motherboard from Asrok, even if it costs the least - this support of Asrok is always at its "top", a month has passed - they did not answer. There are conflicting BIOS versions on the site, one says that it is not recommended to install this processor, and the other says that the Ryzen 5 1600 supports all BIOS versions. The board did not start from the word AT ALL. I couldn’t even enter BIOS, I even tried it without a video card - it’s all to no avail. I can't even…

Pros
  • They are not here
Cons
  • The board simply did not start up with Ryzen 5 1600, although the site says that Bios supports all ryzens

A reliable product, quality is acceptable.

After the assembly with the R 5 3500x processor, there was an unpleasant moment - nothing started. Generally. It turned out that it is necessary to install an external video card - this percentage with a built-in video card will not work . I actually planned with an external card, everything works . But the sediment remained. The memory got up confidently at 3200. It suits me who needs more - it's probably better to look at more expensive options.

Pros
  • Price. For such a price with such performance characteristics, it is difficult to find a motherboard.
Cons
  • The location of SATA is strange - it is blocked by the video card. It is critical ONLY for those who constantly climb / rearrange the iron, for me I stuck it once - everything is fine, it does not interfere - it's quite normal. SATA 4 pcs. There were 6 on the previous one, I somehow got used to having a spare or even two . Again, everything was enough for me, but someone might need more.
