Type of review

I've spent a few hours creating the build only to find that the board won't even boot up to the post screen. I figured it must be the BIOS so I tried using the flash button on the io and then it started blinking and blinking for an hour more. The bios was never accepted and yes it was the right bios for the right board. Also, I followed the instructions to the exact word. However, the flashing for the bios update never stopped and never booted, so it must have been the board. I have refundedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Can't remember

Great motherboard and easy to install

I bought this motherboard for my new build targeting Ryzen 7 5800x and RTX 3080. It supports PCIe 4.0, supports NVMe 4.0, has an optional NVMe 3.0 slot, a front USB-C port, and high-level VRMs. The instructions were very clear and everything was installed. The bios is very easy to use and already comes with an updated bios that supports the new Ryzen 5000. It has a bios flashback that can update the bios without a processor installed. One of the things I noticed and appreciated was the built in

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Expensive

DOA, but it looked very nice! Bye MSI!

This is my newest MSI DOA product. I spent a day fighting it before giving up. The fee was not included. The Debug LED flashes when the processor crashes. Processor - Ryzen 9 3900XT.1. I checked compatibility on MSI website, it's on the list.2. Everyone recommends flashing the bios. So I went to the MSI website and downloaded the updated BIOS. Ouch! The BIOS update only reads flash drives formatted in FAT32.3. Okay, I found a FAT32 flash drive. Follow the instructions on MSI website and watchโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Almost never

Great AMD motherboard at a reasonable price!

I chose an AMD processor but didn't choose between the B550 and X570. After reading many articles and watching many videos about the differences, I finally decided that the B550 is the way to go and within budget. I chose this MSI MPG B550 Gaming Edge WiFi because of the quality, features and price. MSI makes quality motherboards, that goes without saying. I needed Wi-Fi, at least 6 SATA ports, room for 4 RAM modules (in case I need to upgrade from 2), and at least 5 system fan headers. Thisโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Exorbitant price
