    I'm satisfied, it's a good purchase.

    * In my opinion, AC'97 level sound was sufficient (stereo / 20bit / 96kHz or multi-channel / 20bit / 48kHz). Needed the right strapping and protection from interference. The codec in the motherboard, nominally gives much more, but due to the installation of drivers and the Realtek Audio Console application, most of these features do not even know and will not recognize. The limit in stereo mode, quadro is 32 / 192, there is its own surround sound algorithm. * In modern motherboards, the mode of

    Pros
    • + Function to stop the fan on the chipset when the chipset temperature is below 60 degrees. During normal operation, my cooler mostly does not rotate at all. + Most of the motherboard components are so widespread or standards-compliant that almost all functions work on Win11 even without drivers - sound, sound format up to 32 bits / 192 Khz, network, chipset. + POST indicator lights. + Cooler control from the BIOS seems to work fine, at least I set it up once and forgot - this is exactly about setting the cooler speeds in the BIOS. + The MSI Center "Live ate" subroutine shows very well which drivers have been ated on the official website and ates them without any problems (chipset, sound, network card), can even ate the BIOS. + Chipset cooler, not closed by video card. + BIOS is ated, and more actively than competitors. + Convenient BIOS interface. + BIOS mode "Memory Try It!", which contains running presets for memory overclocking. + A huge number of sensors, how people burned power conduits, I can’t imagine, I suspect overclocking with poor cooling. + When the backlight is completely off, the chipset cooler spins less frequently.
    Cons
    • - The software is outdated and poorly maintained. MSI Center is not able to show the processor frequency even in Win11, although at the same time the task manager shows it correctly. There are some old problems that don't get fixed with Win 7, like frequently switching "Devices Speed ​​Up" power plans. - The software adjustment of the Water_Pump slot on the motherboard is buggy and often sets the maximum speed. - The SYS_FAN4 slot has a PWM pin, but does not detect a connected PWM-enabled cooler. I bought 5 identical coolers, all were with PWM, but the one installed in slot 4 did not start. After checking it, it turned out that only control in DC mode works. - Cooler management from MSI software is buggy in User Scenario subroutine: randomly coolers spin up to the limit if any mode other than Custom is selected. - There are simply no cooler connectors on the side of the motherboard, where there are SATA ports and 20 pin power supply. To connect the front fans, you have to pull the wires quite far. In the photo, the cooler over the RAM is stretched to Sys_Fan4 above the chipset cooler, for example. - The RAID controller sees only the first 4 SATA ports and does not see 2 more additional ones, M2 is also not considered part of the RAID. At the same time, if these slots are at least occupied by something, then everything, including Windows, starts to get confused due to the fact that the system simultaneously has SATA controllers outside of RAID, RAID-Sata and M2 disks. - Voltages are too high - it costs 2 Patiot 16 Gb 2666 JEDEC, 3200 XMP modules, they work in 3600 mode 18-20-20-20-42. If you set their operating voltage to 1.35 volts, then the system sets the monitoring to 1.372. - Missing utilities aimed at improving the gaming experience - Nahimic, network priority management, Noise Cancelling management. Why is the name Gaming Plus here, if the motherboard is suitable for gaming in exactly the same way as any other. - The chipset cooler is activated if you install an M2 drive in the second slot, and besides, due to the specifics of the cooling orientation, it starts to blow hot air onto it.

    I bought this board as a kit for my I7, in principle, it showed itself quite well all the time, even the 7.1 sound technology makes itself felt quite positively, so far I haven’t found any problems with it, the only thing is that the mount is standard, I would like it smaller, but still a very nice product from the MCAI company, I also recently took a cooler to the processor from them and I really liked everything in principle, there were no complaints about their work, I’m waiting for a couple

    Pros
    • Sound system 7.1 Gold plated contacts crossfire support.
    Cons
    • Haven't found yet

    I DECIDED FOR A LONG TIME WITH THE CHOICE OF A NEW MOTHERBOARD But there are so many things to consider when choosing. since a new processor needs a reliable foundation, since AMD can be overclocked and reliable cooling is needed, so they returned to the fans on the motherboard, MSI has an interesting solution, Zero Froz technology, which stops the fan on the chipset at low loads and you can enjoy silence, although I can’t hear it even when the robot is running, since the fan has a double ball…

    The right product for me, the price suited me.

    Good motherboard, nothing to complain about. I only complain about the noise, since I assembled the system unit on quiet Noctua coolers and any extraneous squeak is annoying. The noise of the cooler is treated by changing the settings in the BIOS from the "normal" mode of the chipset cooler to "quiet", while the temperature does not rise above 67 degrees (or around 62 at 27 in the room) (which I consider acceptable for the chipset). The bios itself with a ryzen 5800 loads in an average of 11…

    Pros
    • Works. In general, it corresponds to the manufacturer's statements. The cooling cooler spins only when heated above normal and when the system starts. The chipset cooler itself is located below the video card, which has a positive effect on the temperature regime of the chipset.
    Cons
    • Noisy cooler, at the moment of start (spin-up) and stop (it is sharp). Incomprehensible (or rather weak) backlight, the motherboard is rather weak, the material of the board is too dark to be illuminated with diodes from the back side, although the diodes shine very brightly, it turns off only through the "Windows", it cannot be turned off in the BIOS itself. But once it has been turned off through the "Windows" as several replacements of Windows for more than a year, it does not glow (which I am glad about).

    I am amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

    I read about a raw BIOS and a long boot, that supposedly the BIOS only takes 30 seconds or more to load (and this stopped me from buying) in general, the BIOS has been fixed for a long time, the download is fast (26 s with Windows on ssd). Bios itself is convenient, switched the frequency of the RAM intuitively, in a few clicks (before it, it’s true, too msi was z270). Ryzen 3600 out of the box. In general, so far only positive emotions, we'll see how it goes

    Pros
    • For the money this is top
    Cons
    • For their money they are not, but if you find fault flimsy

    Revainrating 5 out of 5

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

    Everyone has issues with friezes or a malfunctioning M2 slot in the top. Updating the BIOS to the newest version may have repaired everyone's Windows friezes, but I don't sure how (Although the beta version had drivers) However I have no idea how to fix the higher M2 slot that doesn't work. This top slot is not compatible with the WD Blue WDS250G2B0B 250GB, M.2 2280, SATA III SSD.

    Pros
    • A decent mainboard
    Cons
    • It's safe to say that no major

    Not the best quality, but generally not bad.

    For a decade, I relied on Intel motherboards made by msi. Two chipsets, the Z77 and the Z370, are supported. No idea there were issues. Opted to give AMD a shot. The bios operates similarly to the z370, albeit more slowly. I attempted to increase the memory speed but had no success. Instead of doing anything, the computer only produces noises. The BIOS will not be cleared. Overclocking attempts on itel, the mother ship, and the replacement were all fruitless. After failing twice, the mother…

    Pros
    • The X570 chipset is reasonably priced.
    Cons
    • After a failed overclocking attempt, I removed the battery for the first time in a decade. For whatever reason, the m2 slot at the very top was inoperable.

    I am very happy with this purchase, I will advise everyone!

    Excellent motherboard, I took it on Ryzen 3600x, it works great. I advise everyone to try MSI Click BIOS 5, a very convenient BIOS. It has overclocking profiles, it can overclock the processor in one click (not much of course, but still). The kit contains a satisfied detailed instruction, but it does not say whether it is possible to connect not 8 + 4, but only 8 to the processor power supply. I had to search the Internet for complete instructions. In general, who doesn’t know either, you can…

    Pros
    • X570 chipset, VRM (power system) cooling, heatsink for M2 drive, convenient location of connectors for connecting case fans, 6 SATA? overclocking, BIOS

    The right product for me, the price suited me.

    I had to suffer after installing the SSD M2. It was not defined in the bios. At the moment, in the boot priority in the first place, I have an old SSD, fully formatted. The BIOS defines it as a system one on which Windows is installed =) If you put it in second place, Windows will not boot, just like if you put the M2 SSD in first place, on which Windows is actually installed =) I don’t know, maybe it should be, but I am facing this for the first time.

    Pros
    • Beautiful, quality components, good sound.

    I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

    The utilities from MSI look strange, of course, but I seem to have set them up once and you can no longer go there, otherwise everything is ok for now - the processor is working, the memory does not fail, the backlight is on. Its pros: Well, if everything just takes it and works quietly out of the box without any problems, this is a virtue, then a worthy mother - she found a smart memory with the right frequency, it works fine, it loads strangely, but not critically. With its cons. The rear bar

    Good quality product, the price is commensurate with the quality.

    during installation, it didn’t cause any problems, at startup everything is fine, the only A-XMP profile does not give any overclocking for the RAM from the box, it launched the RAM at a frequency of 2300 Mhz, manually launched it at 3200 Mhz. didn't flash the bios. For me, a more understandable bios than Gigabyte. Some pros: worthy mother for her money. Started out of the box with no problems. It's nice that the heatsink for the M2 drive is included. Cons: I know that the racks for the mother…

    Pros
    • The location of the fan connectors is very convenient, as well as the possibility of overclocking. For the money, this is a bomb.
    Cons
    • I suffered with installing drivers, otherwise there are no shortcomings.

    I didn³'t expect the quality to be this good.

    Now let's move on to the most interesting, to compare with past chipsets. AMD has announced support for x470 and b450 chipsets for ryzens. In general, if you dance a little with the bios, you can get a 3000 series ryzen, and 5000 series too. But there may be problems with overclocking the RAM, and for Ryzens, overclocking the RAM is a must-have. Well, the lack of pcle 4.0. It's not critical for a video card, but it's unpleasant for an ssd. I bought myself an m.2 ssd on pcle 4.0 and in general…

    Pros
    • - The quality of the cooling system. This is the first thing you should pay attention to when choosing a mat. fees. In this price category (180-200 USD) there are only two worthy representatives based on the x570 chipset with good vrm. This is this motherboard and aorus elite. The most interesting thing is that the reviews give a strange description of the mat. boards. Let's say, in 2022, when I bought the board (end of summer 2022), most of the reviews praised the gigabyte for their vrm, but now I went to the American site (tom's hardware), and he thinks msi is the best budget board. So we will assume that according to the reviews they are approximately the same, but it should be borne in mind that msi is cheaper by a couple of thousand. - Mystical cheapness in relation to chipsets on b550. A rather strange remark, given that AMD itself positions and has always positioned B chipsets as mid-range, and X as high-end, it's rather strange that the b550 is more expensive, because they have fewer features. I thought maybe there was an incredible leap in vrm quality between the two chipsets and that's why the B550 is more expensive, but that turned out not to be true. Therefore, there is no sense in the B550, because you can take the x570. - it's too early to talk about reliability, but a year and a half without any complaints we'll take it as a plus. - excellent overclocking of the RAM. Maybe I got good b-die dice, but as a fact: I downloaded the ryzen dram calculator and was able to run the RAM at frequencies, even a little better than the program recommended, so the main thing here is hands. - The temperatures in Hades are good. at idle 40 degrees. Under load, maybe 55-60. Good vrm - low temperatures. In general, it is logical. - lack of lgbt light music
    Cons
    • - fan. I describe in minuses, because for many it is a minus. Right at the time of writing, I looked into the system unit: the fan is not spinning. And in general I do not remember that he was spinning. It may be spinning under loads, but it’s stupid to talk about noise, since with a 99% probability under loads you will have much louder noise from cheap coolers on the system unit, or video card coolers, or power supply coolers. It doesn’t look very aesthetically pleasing, but if you don’t have an exhibition PC, then it doesn’t matter. - Bios. As soon as the board came out, many complained that there were problems with overclocking the RAM, or some other software problems. I didn't have anything like that. I installed a couple of ates, I did not experience problems with overclocking the operative. Now, for sure, everything that could be fixed has already been fixed, but ates continue to be released regularly. I have not ated for about a year and I'm fine. (by the way, according to rumors, it was even worse for gigabits with bios at the start) The bios interface itself is normal and understandable. There is nothing more to say.

    A little bit not what I expected, generally fine.

    Bought on 08/15/19 for 13050, returned after 5 days. Didn't have time to test it. No RAM at 4400MHz, nothing to test the speed of USB 3.2 gen2 which skips 20gb/s, etc. It was enough that the PC started on it for 27 seconds only before the BIOS. With the same equipment on gigabyte ab350 to Windows 7 sec. At the time of the return, there were 2 versions of the BIOS. When I try to ate to the latest one, I get a black screen. I called the TP, they said to carry it to the SC, they will unsolder the…

    A simple x570 motherboard with many features I need!

    This motherboard is great! I have a really good business and I have no problem with it. Decided to pair x570 with Ryzen 3600. x570 has access to all PCIE lanes, M.2 slots and SATA ports. Unlike some of the 4 series where when using some slots others are disabled. I recommend updating to the latest BIOS version as soon as possible. It doesn't have all those extra RGB lights, but I don't need them. Works great with RX 580 and 32GB G.Skill 3200MHz RAM. Recommended for the price! The only downside…

    I think everything worked. Crashed often with Ryzen 7 3700X. I was able to install Windows but it just shut down every few minutes. I suspected a bios problem. Actually, I suspected a problem with the processor, but the problem with the bios was easier to solve. I updated the BIOS from USB and it got stuck halfway outside of Windows. This further corrupted the BIOS, preventing it from POSTing. You can use the button on the back of the board and the USB flash drive to update the BIOS even…

    This mobo is taking much longer than expected to load. They have a few bios updates that improve the timing but it's still pretty slow. After it loads windows it still freezes a bit with icons loading and stuff - my drives are fast - I know it's caused by a mobile device. So you must have some software hidden, because about once a week or more, a small pop-up notification appears asking you to register. Annoying because I don't like spyware and popups, but figured why not. So I clicked the…

    Due to the BIOS, my Ryzen 5 3600 was running below factory speed and only consuming 50% at 90C. Works fine if you disable Core Boost in BIOS, now runs normally at 4.2GHz at 77C under load. In addition, the RAM does not operate at a higher frequency than 2133 MHz during the first boot. This has led to me digging into the EZ Debug LEDs on a number of occasions as I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out why it's not loading. Then, like magic, it happened with no change because the mobo…

    Good for my Ryzen build

    I don't care about RGB, I don't care about aggressive gaming colors, I'll never overclock, you'll never see the innards of my case. So I think the x570-A PRO motherboard is ideal for me. I've had a solid experience with the Z170 A Pro on my latest build, so I'm excited to give MSI another shot at the x570 platform. Paired with a Ryzen 3700x, RTX2070 Super and 16GB of 3200MHz C16 RAM I'm feeling good about a build with decent specs that was a joy. Setup was easy, the BIOS update went smoothly…
