Great Motherboard!
The first thing I noticed about the MSI Mag X870E Tomahawk is the weight. That baby is heavy which I like because to me that is indicative of quality. Also noticed that the PCB is twice as thick as my old motherboard. So it will stand the test of time which I like because I hold onto my motherboards until they are no longer functional. I bought it for overclocking and is compatible with a lot of the good name brand ram companies. I wanted the G.Skill neo royal cl28 high end ram which this board is compatible with. The overclocking is a breeze and beginner friendly with the built in A.I. features. All in all I really like the board so far.

Well designed, well-made
I've always used MSI products - motherboards, PSUs, GPUs. Never been disappointed. The MAG X870e is massive - heaviest mobo I've ever used. Easy install into a Fractal Design R5 case, AMD cpu installed without a hitch. The board has lived up to its promise. Product manuals are online and more than adequate, even for your first build.

Great board, but could have better Linux support.
Great motherboard with excellent pricing, it even includes features from very expansive boards. I paired it with the 9950X3D and 2x48GB 6400MT memory. The only problem I had was when trying to use surround sound with Linux. The ALC4080 codec works, but port remapping does not, so I am currently unable to use my 5.1 system and I have not found any solution yet.
