Very high quality product, it's not the first time I bought it.

I really liked the motherboard, it was made of high quality, reliable, protected, what you need for work and games at the moment. I like Bios with a great look and functionality.

Pros
  • Proven circuitry In fact, this board is an analogue of the MSI B350M only on a fresh chipset that supports Ryzen 3 out of the box without the need to flash the BIOS. 4+2 power phases Support Turbo m2 NVMe slot 1 8 USB ports (of which 4 USB3.1) rear Cooling on the power circuit, does the job, but R7 needs good case cooling Excellent and user friendly BIOS EZ Debug LED status indicator - handy when overclocking. mATX format - no longer needed today 3 x 4-pin fan headers Connector for LED strip Good software for ating via Windows - Liveate - 4 RAM slots - Convenient and understandable BIOS - good temperatures - budget solution
Cons
  • - Not the biggest radiator. - soft textolite, looks cheap - no USB type-c - no heatsink on SOC

A normal product, but they wanted more for the money.

Let everyone decide for himself how convenient and functional BIOS from MSI is. But the fact that in the BIOS I can’t manually fix the voltage of the memory and CPU, it just amazes me! I put 1.3 Volts on the CPU - the mother throws 60mVolt. I put 1.34 Volts for memory - another 20 mV is added. At the same time, for everyone, with different values ​​\u200b\u200bthat I set - the value that the mother puts on is different. What the hell?! Overclocking on this mother brought me back to the zero…

Pros
  • The price of 5900 + features make the board very competitive. Ability to flash BIOS for ZEN 3 processors. Works with ZEN 2 out of the box.
Cons
  • BIOS. Textolite brown, not black.

A great option for this money, I definitely recommend it!

The motherboard was fantastic; it was made of high-quality materials, and it was dependable and protected; in other words, exactly what you require for gaming and work at the time. I enjoy using bios that are both aesthetically pleasing and practical.

Pros
  • Proven circuitry In point of fact, this motherboard is virtually identical to the MSI B350M, but based on an updated chipset that supports Ryzen 3 right out of the box and does not require the user to flash the BIOS. 4 power stages plus 2 Support Turbo m2 NVMe slot 1 8 ports for USB (of which 4 USB3.1) rear Cooling on the power circuit is sufficient for the task at hand, but R7 requires effective case cooling. EZ BIOS, an excellent and user-friendly operating system Status indication for the debug LED, which can very handy when overclocking. The mATX file format is obsolete and no longer required today three sets of four-pin fan headers Connection for use with LED tape Excellent software for accessing games via Windows, Liveate, four RAM slots, a user-friendly and intuitive BIOS, reasonable temps, and a cost-effective solution.
Cons
  • Not the largest radiator available. - textolite material that is pliable yet appears to be of low quality - There is no USB-C port. - no heatsink on SOC

I like everything, the quality is good and the price is reasonable.

In the end, the fee is fire! Everything that needs to be eaten and works, there is no jamb with memory connectors did not affect performance. Pros below: I was looking for a board with the highest possible video output options, it has all HDMI, DVI, VGA. Of the pluses, the m2 nvme connector. With its cons. The RAM connectors were split only on one side, on the other side the connectors were filled with something, in general, the memory had to be inserted at an angle. as a result, I installed…

A really necessary purchase, Im glad I found this product.

Pros: A budget solution that allows you to completely overclock the RAM and the processor, of course, not to high values, but already good, the installation is simple. Availability of M2 slot Some cons: Mosfets and power supply do not allow increasing the voltage to a sufficient level for high overclocking, but in principle there was no point in demanding this from a budget motherboard (Moreover, it was originally bought as a temporary plug, while the main one was being repaired due to marriage

This is what you need for a normal desktop

At first I didn't know which board is compatible with Ryzen 3rd generation, buy. After reading the specs, I found out that it was. The following is NOT on this board: - no RAID - multiple slots for PCIe x16 graphics cards (i.e. no Crossfire with multiple cards) The following is on it: - BIOS updated for Ryzen 3rd Gen (note you want to update to something newer: mine came with BIOS from August, I updated it to October) - 4 SATA ports - 1 PCIe x16 slot - 1 M.2 slot - 4 DDR4 slots (3866MHz max) up

Pros
  • Turbo M.2: Working with PCI-e gen3 x4 maximizes performance for NVME-based SSDs
Cons
  • No instructions

No BS board that supports Ryzen 3rd Gen out of the box!

Originally I had an ASUS B350 board before, but I had to return it because it couldn't be posted to my Ryzen 7 3700X without a BIOS update. Since ASUS customer support was a joke and AMD's RMA form was not available, I got this MSI board as a replacement. Although it doesn't have as many features as an ASUS board for the same money, it was compatible with my processor right out of the box. (Make sure you get MSI boards with "MAX" in their name, as they come preinstalled with the Ryzen 3rd Gen…

Pros
  • Core Performance Upgrade: Premium layout and fully digital power scheme to support more cores and improve performance
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Ready with my Ryzen 3400G

I installed my AMD Ryzen 3400G and upon boot the motherboard recognized the CPU and was working fine! It also recognized two 8GB G.Skill Ripjaws V 3200MHz DDR4 RAM sticks. After installing my operating systems (Windows 10 Pro and Pop_OS!) I went to this motherboard's website and downloaded the bios update and all the drivers for it. I went into the BIOS and updated it, which I definitely did knowing the power was less likely to go out! I strongly recommend connecting to the UPS when updating…

Pros
  • Ez Debug LED: The easiest way to troubleshoot
Cons
  • Not sure
