Motherboard was dead on arrival. Defective motherboard!

This motherboard was dead on arrival. We asked a professional computer technician to look at the gaming pc and he replaced all the parts and nothing fixed the problem except replacing this motherboard. The new motherboard worked perfectly. This faulty motherboard runs continuously and never boots into Windows. Very frustrating.

Pros
  • Wide range
Cons
  • too dull

This is a good motherboard that suits me

I first bought the Asus TUF Gaming B550M wifi but when assembling my computer found it to be a dead motherboard so I returned it and opted for MSI B550M Bazooka as a replacement as I was able to get it the same day! It's slightly cheaper than the TUF but comparable in specs as it has 2 M.2 slots and more fan headers - something that was important to me. I think the main difference between the two is that Bazooka only has gigabit LAN and no built-in wifi/bluetooth compared to TUF which has 2.5…

Pros
  • There's something in it
Cons
  • Annoying

I ticked all my boxes except for the one that matters.

God I was dying to use this board. It matched everything I wanted/needed except that it mattered DOA. no POST, won't boot into BIOS, nothing. tried all the tricks. Reset BIOS/CMOS, power button on/off, processor reinstall, a RAM stick. blah blah. wasted more time than I care to admit troubleshooting. even updated the bios (which was a breeze). NADA. Just powers on with no video and the CPU Debug LED is on. with a random blinking of the RAM LED. and this sequence is continuously repeated. I…

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Protection

Softly floating on mainboards

MSI not a single problem. Flashing the motherboard BIOS from a flash drive worked fine. Follow this process --> Download the latest MSI Bios, MSI Drivers and Win10 to USB sticks, connect the power supply to the motherboard on the table, use the MSI FLASH BIOS button via the assigned USB FLASH port, install CPU and all components except connect to internet, boot Win10 from USB - keep network offline so nothing changes when you update Win10, reload BIOS settings - memory speed when M. 2 boot…

First I got a defective block. The system works well with spares.

The first PC manufacturer. I built my system and used my friend's graphics card (Geforce 1050ti) for the setup process as mine hadn't arrived in the mail yet (and my CPU didn't have integrated graphics). The computer worked great for 2 days and I returned the card to my friend. My card came in the mail (ASUS Radeon RX580) and once installed it started a reboot cycle. Sometimes I was able to get past the Windows 10 login screen, but shortly after that the computer restarted and booted back to…

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Hard to remember, but it was

MSI makes good boards.

PROI likes the black color scheme and aggressive design, EZ Debug LEDs showing what was initialized incorrectly during POST, 4 RGB connectors (2 each for 12V RGB and 5V ARGB) and the cheap price. Some of you might need more features, but this is an entry-level price point with some extra features that others might not give you at this level. MSI also has mid-range, high-end, and high-end boards.

Pros
  • Purchased complete
Cons
  • Has been damaged

Very good value motherboard with front USB-C connector

This is a really good M-ATX motherboard at an affordable price. It has a front USB-C port, which is very good for the price. It also has 4 DIMM slots and 2 M.2 slots, which is very good for an M-ATX board. With my Ryzen 3600 and G.SKILL 3000MHz RAM, it worked great right out of the box. The front USB-C port worked in my be quiet! Net Base 500DX. It also has a BIOS flashback and a 5000 series BIOS has been released. So if you want to run a 5000 series processor on this motherboard, you can. All…

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Style 90

I love msi but keep coming back due to reboot loop.

I love msi and have built many computers using MSI boards. I don't like writing negative reviews, especially about my favorite motherboard manufacturer. But the motherboard failed at startup and shorted out, causing the board loop to restart. I've tried everything from bios update to resetting cmos, different ram sticks, power supplies. I had to return it, in my 20 years of building computers I've never been so stuck. I'm still an MSI fan and I'm pretty sure it was just a bug.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • About

great board. on Internal Components

This is my first decent motherboard until this new build always has mod office ready builds for games. If you're on a budget but still want something functional with a bit of style, this is a great choice. Worked right away with my R3600, recognized my RAM etc. No problems so far. Works well, looks good. Reasonable set of features for the price. I definitely recommend it.

Pros
  • Quick Change
Cons
  • Seniors

dead on arrival *edit The replacement worked right out of the box.

did not work out of the box. I use all working components from ASUS motherboard. This motherboard is stuck in a boot loop. The VGA LED lights up and just boots. Tried 3 different GPUs and 1 different power supply with no success. No mail. reset permanently. Awaiting replacement and will update my review. boxing No problem.

Pros
  • Complete set
Cons
  • Minor issues
