Fits the description completely, very satisfying.

The motherboard is great. Worth your money. Ryzen 7 5800X feels very good in it. Accelerates great. The memory is also well overclocked. Best buy for your money. Has some pros: Very high quality and comfortable motherboard. Installed with no problems at all. All ports are conveniently located and do not interfere with each other. The backlight is excellent. Doesn't distract at night. The power supply system is very pleased. Cons: The set is very poor. There used to be motherboards from Asus…

Excellent quality, absolutely not expected for such a price.

The motherboard is assembled very high quality, good cooling, there are even radiators for M2 connectors. Support for all types of m2, two full x16 connectors, and two x1. Support for sli, you can connect 4 video cards, a plus for me, beautiful, adequate backlighting. Socket am4, 4 slots for RAM, you can plug up to 128GB of memory, surround sound, convenient ports, including Type C, a motherboard with an upgrade, I advise. Bios and beautiful and very functional - there are all overclocking…

Pros
  • Quality, price, features
Cons
  • Not

I am satisfied with everything, both price and quality, I advise you to buy.

In fact, it is in the Amazon in Hong Kong, it's just that the market displays it crookedly. I bought together with Hong Kong 3900X and 4 HyperX Fury HX430C16FB3 / 32 slats. I ated the BIOS to the latest version and tried to set the timings native to the memory: the system refused to start. It started only at 2800 MHz. I ran memtest and it turned out that one of the memory sticks was broken. After removing the broken bar, the memory started successfully at 3GHz. We managed to squeeze 4060 MHz…

Pros
  • A pair of Ethernet connectors, one of which is 2.5 Gb, a cold chipset and, as a result, no active cooling.
Cons
  • A pair of Ethernetcomnnectors, one of which is 2.5 Gb, acomld chipset and, as a result, no activecomoling.

There are pros and cons, think before buying.

Generally speaking, I believe that mother's rules improve with time. But for the typical user or overclocker, I see zero benefit. The B450, which is twice as affordable for the typical user, operates the r9 3900x just as smoothly. A top-tier x570 chipset can be purchased for a few thousand dollars by an overclocker with ease. Because it was the only mother in my community with the appropriate amount of ports, I purchased it for myself.

Pros
  • almost all of the X chipset's features, and even better RAM support. A full range of ports for all purposes (this was one of the main selection options) two channels. Windows software that is good but a little heavy. especially the capability to modify RGB color based on CPU temperature (the only normal option for those who do not like the backlight in general) Samsung's 8GB peer-to-peer sticks took 3600/19-19-19-38 quietly and drives RAM nicely (the previous Gigabyte aorus x470 could only 3200 at these timings with this RAM).
Cons
  • memoryTryIt does not operate! The BIOS must be completely reset after each unsuccessful effort at overclocking, which is the general rule. Price. At the same price as the previous generation, I chose the X470 with wi-fi and bluetooth.

Fits the description completely, very satisfying.

The price is stinging; at first, I intended to spend around 8,000 on a 450 socket, but I fell in love with this mother after seeing her.

Pros
  • As the motherboard shifted from socket 775, it was suitable for everyone. A solid power supply for my 5600X, an armored video card interface, radiators on M2, a backlight, and a novel function with a m2 SSD to boost speed are all included. Everybody is content.
Cons
  • I have an old vidyakha, the system noted after the initial start.

Excellent product, the best quality.

The motherboard is top-notch. Before that, there was ASUS x370, all the shortcomings of which were more than covered in this board. Haven't tried overclocking yet. I'm going to write up my thoughts on this subject later.

Pros
  • 1. Planning. Two M.2 SSDs with heatsinks. Third, there are a ton of nifty connections, and everything is under command. I really appreciate this. Fourth, ARGB that can be managed and timed in sync. The Be Quiet! 500dx backlight was easy to find, and it's gorgeous. Five, the food is good, but it might be better.
Cons
  • Back-mounted USB port, 1. It's the radiator above the lower m, number two. The number 2 is played if the SSD is not present.

Everything in the product suited me, the price is generally perfect.

The manufacturer did not place any kind of seal on the box, which shocked me because it made it difficult to tell at the pick-up location if someone had already opened the box or not. But, the plastic bag within the box is sealed. Includes two sata cables.

Pros
  • so long as it functions reliably. The chipset offers passive cooling, and Windows 11 will be happy if you purchase and install a hardware TPM module or use fTPM, which is already built into the processor. The system unit is transformed into a Christmas tree with RGB lights (you can pick up 5050 RGB tapes). Your computer is made twice as happy by two network adapters. Many overclocking and tuning options are available in the BIOS (which it is better for unprepared users not to touch at all). Without flashing the BIOS, Ryzen 9 was selected immediately (however, flashing the BIOS in modern boards is finally done well - just stick the flash drive into a specific usb port and press the button, but before you had to get a younger processor to flash it).
Cons
  • I don't know why, but MSI does not include Q-connectors on the boards despite how useful they are and how absurdly expensive they are. When the board is already crammed into the case, connecting the front panel wires (if they are not joined in any way) can be quite challenging; a Q-connector would have made things much easier. However, ErP does not function at all as it should - when I turn on ErP, the board disables only one usb port (which is for flashing the BIOS), the remaining ports provide power, respectively, and the mouse is lit, the external HDD is lit, the usb-garland is lit, and the computer draws 4 watts from the power supply. Unfortunately, the BIOS does not have a function to configure the power of each of the usb ports in the off state and hiber The flashing USB port also receives electricity if ErP is off. I had to switch the garland off. Maybe they made a mistake in the firmware and will change it soon, or maybe I'm just so dim that I don't get it (but the previous MSI board turned off all usb ports during hibernation).

I didnt expect the quality to be so high.

Together with the 5800x and 32GB of memory, it costs. started right away. For the fan system, I counted at least 5–6 connectors. M2 pads with cooling SSD disks are on the ports. The software allows you to configure a nice backlight.

Pros
  • number of fan and light connectors Strong Power Circuits for Cooling Ssd m2 Backlight Stub additional cooling pads
Cons
  • The absence
