Perfect Balance of Price and Performance
This motherboard has been perfect for my pc! I wanted to find the balance between price to performance and this motherboard is it! It pairs well with my MSI 4080 graphics card and it offers all the features I wanted at a great price! The only problem I had was a slow bootup time but the solution was to go into the BIOS and put "Memory Context Restore" to enabled. This helped the slow boot up time and I haven't had any problems since!

Great board among B650 for AMD AM5
Built a new system with the AMD Ryzen 7800 X3D (socket AM5). I was looking for a solid motherboard at the top of the B650 category. MSI's Tomahawk came highly rated and this board did not disappoint. Easy set up and great bios. The aesthetic is a no frills simple black everywhere. Plenty of ports around especially if you want to add LEDs or such, I opted for three Corsair LED fans on the front of the system. Only drawback is PCIe 4.0 instead of PCIe 5.0. However, currently all graphics cards are 4.0 and even the M2 PCIe 5.0 hardrives give that more of a performance boost based on day-to-day usage--so I opted for more storage (4TB) at the lower 4.0 speed which was a good trade off. All around, very happy with this board and the new PC build.

Tomahawk Fires it up again.
This is my second Tomahawk board for me. The very first one was the b350, the b550 and that lasted me up intil 3 weeks ago when I sold it in perfect working condition. I neede to upgrade to AM5 and at first I had purchased the x870 tomahawk for more $$. Upon opening the socket cover was loose and there some bent pins (thats for another review). After not being able to get x870 because it was out of stock, I went with this one. I was able to get the latest bios from Dec 11th 2024 and update. I have this paired with 9800x3d bought on Best Buys app. Yes plenty of of usb ports and the 3 m.2 slots are alright even though one is gen 3. The board feels solid and hasn't given me any problems so far. For $100 less than x870 as of this writing, it is still a good price. I wasn't looking for a fancy rgb motherboard, just one that does the job very well for my needs. The vrms are also very good at 14+2 phase Duet Rail VRM with 80A Power Stage for the AMD B650 chipset. Happy Gaming and work with the B650 from MSI
