Review on AMD AM4 MSI X570-A PRO Motherboard with DDR4, PCIe 4.0, SATA 6Gb/s, M.2, USB 3.2 Gen 2, HDMI, ATX by Marc Hawkins

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, and the RAM worked at full speed. I was a bit worried about the chipset fan and the noise it made, but it wasn't noticeable. Additionally, if you keep the stock Ryzen Prism cooler, it drowns out all other noise when it starts spinning. One niggling point: SATA connections are almost impossible to connect with a full-size GPU installed. Otherwise it's been great so far.

Pros
  • Full kit
Cons
  • Expensive insurance
