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 Tracy Nuy

After my previous motherboard failed after 5 years of use, it was time to choose a new motherboard. I researched for many weeks and finally decided to stick with this motherboard. There are several reasons why I chose this motherboard. 1) Lightning Gen 4 - This motherboard supports next generation PCIe. When it comes out and you want to upgrade it, you don't need to buy a new motherboard! 2) price. It's hard to beat this price for an x570 motherboard with all the features you get. 3) M.2 - Supports M.2. to take your operating system speed to the next level and boot up in seconds. 4) DDR4 - Let's be honest. The time for DDR3 is almost over. It's time to move to DDR4, which this board supports. 5) Customization - This board has something for everyone. Whether you want to show it off and add a bunch of LEDs to your system, or just cover basic needs, this board is for you. It has all the ports you need to customize your system to your liking. 6)BIOS. Comes with built-in profiles for beginners so they don't have to spend hours searching for the settings to use. One click on a profile (game mode, XMP and other profiles) and you're good to go! Offers overclocking for advanced users who know what they are doing. 7) Audio Boost 4 - You should be able to hear the audio quality of this chipset. That's great! 8) Support - Once you open the box you will find instructions and manuals showing how to install the board with details. However, there are so many resources on the web for this motherboard if you ever get stuck or have any questions. In summary, I am very satisfied with the results and the performance at the moment. My system: CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 (I bought with motherboard) RAM: 16 GB - Ripjaw 3200 DDR4 (I bought with motherboard) GPU: GTX 980 TIPSU: Corsair 750 MCase: Thor Rosewill v2 (more is better)
