Review on MSI B450 GAMING PLUS Max ATX Motherboard: AMD Ryzen 2ND and 3rd Gen AM4 Support with M.2, USB 3.0, DDR4, DVI, HDMI, Crossfire by Stanislaw Stan Stras ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Expected more from the purchase, but not the worst option.

System components were a Rysen 5 3600, two 16GB sticks of Crucial Ballistix Sport AT DDR4 DIMM 3200MHz PC-25600 CL16 BLS16G4D32AESTDDR4, and an MSI GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER. Don't believe the rumors that say AMD can't run NVIDIA. I searched high and low for an appropriate recollection because. When it comes to working with memory, the processor is arbitrary. Samsung B-die chips no longer include memory. You can find Hynix chips if you buy dice that were first issued with them. In no uncertain terms is this currently accurate. Check out what Rysen is compatible with, and pick some RAM from the list below; just keep in mind that B-die chips won't be cheap for much longer, so if you go with the recommended one where those chips used to be, you might as well get something completely different (that doesn't use those chips): Single-rank memory and two dies (instead of four) are also suggested. When I turned on the computer after finishing the assembly, everything went off without a hitch. The motherboard provides significant headroom for overclocking. But the reality is that in order for the Rysen 5 3600 to reach its full potential, 3200 Mhz memory is required, so that is what I went out and bought. A single click in the BIOS is all it takes to change the RAM profile to the one you choose.

Pros
  • Excellent, long-lasting, and cozy. Specifics are provided below.
Cons
  • It's not quite as good as a dedicated gaming motherboard because it lacks s/pdif audio output. The proposal to have tulips serve as speakers for 5.1/7.1 surround sound is very 21st century. Perversion via HDMI/DP might be possible, but doing so would be a major hassle.
