Review on MSI B450 Gaming PRO Carbon MAX WiFi: Ultimate Performance Gaming Motherboard with AMD Ryzen Support, M.2, USB 3.2, HDMI, and Wi-Fi by Owen Houser

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good appearance and good temperature GG

What I like: 1. Amazing looking and neutral theme, which can be used for other color themes thanks to rgb.2. Simple and not too bright.3. Excellent VRM speeds according to non-boxed hardware reviews. Cons: 1. Arrived in a "sealed" Amazon Prime box but the MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC inner box was already opened.2. The shipping cost to Philippines is 40$ more or less.3. Only 1 M.2 Shield.4. The built-in JRGB connectors are too scattered, resulting in RGB lighting cables running all over the place. The RGB lighting could be appreciated if they placed it on the top left. I ordered mine through Amazon Prime, it arrived in the Philippines in 1 week from the US, but I already received the box opened, luckily it still works, but it's strange. To open it, the other parts I ordered through NewEgg were sealed, although they arrived after 3 weeks. Used in the following build: Chassis: RAKK Hawani Motherboard: MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon ACRAM: Team Vulcan TUF 2x8GB 3200 MhzCPU: Ryzen 2700xPSU: CoolerMaster MasterWatt 650 TUFCase Fans: 2 sets RAKK Maris X2GPU: GT 630 -> Planned upgrade to upcoming AMD GPU
