Great motherboard for my 3rd-gen Ryzen CPU. Worked out of the box without having to update BIOS. No issues getting my PC up and running. Very satisfied. Would definitely recommend. I wish it had more USB ports in the back though.

Worked like a charm. Sadly I had to return it because the RGB on my case was not compatible with the board RGB. Other than RGB issue, board was awesome. Booted fine, first try, installed windows, updated drivers. Everything went good until I came upon the RGB issue, which wasn't an issue with board, it just didn't have the header I needed.

I'm using this motherboard for my office pc with a ryzen 3600. So far, it has been super easy to use and especially the auto-restart when the ram timings are too tight has been amazing. Would recommend, great board for the price.

Has been a great mobo so far. I really don’t know a lot about it but I build my computer with this and have had no problems what so ever. Setup and install was super simple.

Equip it with a zen 2 ryzen processor and it ticks every boxes (except for wifi). Once I upgrade to zen 3, it should be able to accommodate that as well with a bios flash. Bang for buck and well rounded board

Everything is working as it said. The bios is easy to use, all physical components of the board seem sturdy, everything is as advertised. I’ve only had this board for a few weeks and so far no issues have been found.

I built a new pc from scratch using a ryzen 3600 cpu. I thought I would have to buy a cheap 570 motherboard, but this B450 comes ready for 3rd gen ryzen straight out of the box. Works great and have had 0 problems with it.

Great Motherboard for below $100! Supports all AM4 CPUs, has a nice design, great specs for its price, and it does its job pretty well, its BIOS is very nice and clean.

I would honestly buy it again it’s very chill. And it doesn’t stand out. I paired this with my ryzen 7 3700X and works well. It does not support Bluetooth and WiFi you’ll need a WiFi adaptor or Ethernet cable

Startup out the box with ryzen 5 3600. Headers were easy to find and board is quality. This is hands down the best B450 MAX board for the price of $115. Currently they are all sold out but worth waiting for.

Board arrived in a severely beaten up package, with half of the packaging bubbles popped. It looked like it had been crushed and re-taped. The Tomahawk MAX box itself was also practically caved in on one corner.
The motherboard didn't *seem* to be damaged upon a quick inspection, but it gave me anxiety all throughout the build process.
Still doing testing, but so far the board is working as advertised. I did need to update it to the latest bios with M-Flash to get my 3600mhz ram speed working on it, but that's fine. The features on the board make it super easy to update.
Three stars is for the sketchy delivery, which I don't know is the fault of the delivery service or Best Buy's product storage and sending it off for shipment. Still worried that an issue is going to crop up as a result of the delivery, but so far so good.

I bought this to upgrade my Ryzen system. This motherboard is definitely worth the price and highly recommended by many tech YouTubers. I highly recommended it as it has many features and has a tough build.

This motherboard doesn't carry all the bells and whistles of other models, however it does support Gen 3 Ryzen processors out of the box without requiring a bios update.
Performance has been stellar.

This mobo was easy to build with as my first PC build. It supported my Ryzen 5 3600 out of the box and has plenty of slots for everything I needed.
BIOS is easy to use and access.
My one gripe is the lack of a USB-C header for my front panel. I now have a dead USB-C port on my case.

Probably the best and most popular b450 board out there. Vrms are cool enough to do some decent overclocking. Purchased this board specifically, because it includes a usb-c port.

Really glad I could get my hands on one of theses bad boys, especially around this time of the year! It ran swell when I first booted it up and haven’t had any problems with It since.
