Review on πŸ”§ MSI B450-A Pro Max ATX Motherboard for AMD Ryzen 2nd and 3rd Gen with M.2, USB 3.0, DDR4, D-Sub, DVI, HDMI, and Crossfire support by Harley Franchetti

Revainrating 5 out of 5

NO DISPLAY - FIXED good for internals

Motherboard not displaying images. It turns on fine, the PSU, GPU and fans all work, but when I plug in the monitor there is no image. I will correct the rating if I get help in this regard. Although it says the RYZEN 3000 is ready, it's not until you flash the bios. It's pretty easy. Locate the motherboard BIOS update name (I have MSI B-450 A PRO MAX). Download it to a USB drive that is at least 1GB, but I recommend an 8GB USB drive if you're also installing Windows. After downloading, extract the file and name it "MSI.ROM". Turn off the computer. Connect the USB cable to the USB port closest to the BIOS FLASH button, and then press the FLASH button. The process takes about 5 minutes. Do not switch off the device. The PC turns itself off. After this. TA DAH! 3000 series PC ready :) Save the time I wasted and good luck with the build!

Pros
  • Turbo M.2: Running on PCI-E Gen3 x4 provides maximum performance for NVMe-based SSDs
Cons
  • Long delivery time
