so far so good i've been dealing with msi boards most of the time.

The item arrived earlier than expected. Good Mobo, I got what I expected.

It’s a good mother board but has problems with the AMD Ryazan 3 CPU

Motherboard seemed to be OK quality, but did not work whatsoever with my new build. Had everything set up two different times using two different power supply units and each time, there was absolutely no indication of power on the motherboard. Replaced the motherboard with an ASUS, used all the same components, and the machine booted instantly. Not an expert at computers, but the board was definitely compatible with the rest of my parts. Additionally, the socket for the CPU completely snapped when un-clamping and removing despite being very careful. Although the board itself was built as expected, the CPU socket and plugs seemed cheap and flimsy. Huge difference with how everything fit together/plugged in with the other motherboard I went with. Would highly recommend trying something else if possible

This motherboard has performed very well. My only complaint is that the drivers/bios are a little difficult to update. I also had issues getting the onboard video card to work during install. Once the bios was updated, everything (including the onboard sound card) worked as expected.

Works nice and i like the color and the anti static bag its cool

Haven't used yet waiting for other parts to build my pc

Works great no DOA. No bios update required for ryzen 5 3600

Middle level price range product that performs as expected.

Lots of options. The manual needs to be more clear though.

Used in build with Ryzen 5 3600X and Radeon 5600X 8gb

Yea a good motherboard and still useful for the future

I got this motherboard for a new amd build. Waited about 2 days and when it came in I opened it up and noticed the clamp to hold the gpu was missing. Other than that it was pretty cool.

I am not a tech or smart by any means, I built my first PC in March with very little to no experience (Youtube helped) and reading the user manual carefully and It was a success! I used an Asrock board and it was time to upgrade to a bigger board as Mine was a little smaller. Here I go checking reviews for this board (Tomahawk Max 450) and it got so much praise so of course I order it when it came in stock! Waited about a week to receive it via UPS, Took apart my old rig and install this immaculate board and couldn't wait to see its magic only to get it to boot but then fail after installing windows 10 that I also purchased from Best Buy and then the board bricked and gave me the CPU error, which I found out is a very common issue with this board. I troubleshoot for hours with the help of my brother who does work in IT, even had them physically come take a look to confirm that my board was DOA and it had to be either RMA or replaced. I instead ordered an Asus 570 board (hope with no issues) and will be returning this HORRIBLE board back. MSI wants me to do all these troubleshooting tasks and I do not have time to play back and forth messages and calls for a crap product. They should be sued for the poor product they continue to sell as this is not an uncommon issue! I'm NOT getting a usb stick to reupload into BIOS via the flash bios button! NO excuse for me having to do that and now I have to check if this crap board ruined my CPU so I bought another CPU chip just in case it did! AWESOME JOB MSI!!!! NEVER EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!! DO NOT BUY THIS BOARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The board works great I find the software easy to use. The only thing is the RGB doesn't work with my CPU cooler RGB i cant have then the same color

Solid motherboard that paired well with my r5 3600. No real complaints here except for the lacking of rgb headers.

It's not easy to install and some cable no names on the motherboard!! I called bast buy store they want $200 just put the part together!! So right now I have only one but I don't know where I put this cable F-Panel

Works fine, if you don't shut off your pc. Shut it off & maybe it'll boot up/post again. Who knows! Might get a cpu LED. Might get a vram LED. Doesn't matter! Fixing those won't get you anywhere. I spent many sleepless nights trying to troubleshoot it. You can reset the cmos and it might go to bios so you can change settings there, then if you save settings & reboot, it's a coin-toss if it'll boot/post. Absolute nightmare of a board! Apparently these were known to have boot/post issues! Currently waiting on MSI approval to RMA it.

The tomahawk is a nice board but was faulty when tried building first computer only would work with 1 ram and wouldn’t boot up with a 2nd one. Really wanted this board but returned it

First off, I'm a 6'2" 140 lb weakling. Ngl. Miraculously, I managed to strip a single screw out of the backing plate when installing the CPU cooler. I ask you...how? I wasn't even trying to crank on it, I was just trying to get it snug with the other 3. Not tight, just *snug* I know it is aligned properly, and the metal shavings attached to the fastener confirm it, the threads are stripped. Brand new out of the box and like a hot knife through butter, it wouldn't snug up, and just let go.
