This is the best motherboard ever made! This thing is a best and is the best ever!!!!

This motherboard has a solid design with features such as RGB and logo placement that make it an eye-catching product that’s priced right.

Includes 2 argb, rbg and 6 fan headers. Also easy to connect aio cooler with pump fan header. Looks great also with built in rgb lights

The RGB colors on the motherboard are so pretty, and it has plenty of upgradeability room for pCIE accessories or extra storage slots which is just what I needed! I’ve been using this for about 2 and a half years now and I couldn’t be happier.

Paired with a 5600x and 6700xt. It built a pc on level and more versatile than a ps5.

Great Motherboard, pretty good feature-set, pretty much all you need for a B550 board honestly. Bought this one as a replacement for a Gigabyte B550 that was DOA, would've wanted another one of those, but I needed a new board pretty quickly as I was tired of waiting for my computer to be up and running.

I’ve built two PCs using this motherboard and they work perfectly. I’ve used a 5600X and 5800X on this motherboard with no issues.

Great motherboard that does not break the bank. I have it running with a ryzen 5 3600 and a GTX 1650 ( in a GPU shortage it's all i have), 16 GB of 3.2 GHz RAM.

This motherboard helps me to use all the performance that i need for my pc

I love a very complete plate that covers my needs.

Niche issue but important. Debug lights don't accurate reflect onboard weaknesses/issues. Other issues I'd like to state was a lack of an included physical manual (minor but really?) and MSI's BIOS interface is kind of trash. I wanted to like this board, the aesthetic is clean, the capabilities are nice for am4, and the integrated IO shield is always a lovely touch. (Seriously why isn't this just standard these days?) Something went awry in the production process though. Possibly QC, but maybe I just got a board that had been unlucky? In any case, the debug light function. Now you'd assume when there's an issue with the motherboards ram slot that either the ram or the mobo light would flare up. Alas. That light working it claimed would have saved me weeks. To preface: Grounding mat/wristbands were utilized for every hardware swap. CMOS resets were deployed as appropriate to maximize chances of stability. Nothing was overclocked. None of the usual suspects, in other words. On initial POST things appeared fine, had several hours of stable use. Second boot however, bsodloops began. Many, many error codes were thrown. However they were so varied and odd (and that cursed bsod screen so fast these days) that troubleshooting the windows install came first. The lack of stability made even assessing the eventviewer and the logs half impossible. So this took longer than expected. Eventually though the error codes patterned, showing a lot of random things but a peppering of the 'hardware error' one. Ah. Ok. Here we go. Ran the memory check. Memcheck states ram (at least one stick anyway) is bad. We do the dx of singlestick in dimma1 and memcheck. Bsodsloops and corrupt for each. This is deeply suspicious but not impossible. Would again state that the debug light never did a thing in all this to indicate an issue. Odd but alright. We purchase (and thus have to wait for) more memory thats compatible for the board. In the interim, once more rebuild using the old mobo* we were upgrading from and POST, stable, run memcheck on old memory, everything is ...perfect. Suspicions founded. As for whether it's INDEED poor soldering, I cannot confirm this without tools but the performance indicates it and careful examination of the board reveals no corrosion, scratches, or burnt capacitors. Unfortunately, this was outside the scanty return window provided by Best Buy. I would have been better off returning it with a "idk it doesn't work >:(" 2 days later instead of performing due diligence. *The old mobo was being swapped out due to what were evidently longterm psu issues despite the psu being highly rated, had been throwing errors. The mobo itself has since performed fine. lol lmao even smdh. I *hate* troubleshooting. This ones a wallpost for another day though. A clarification here - The hardware is possibly good if you get a well soldered board, or one without connexion issues - the issue here I have as a massive Do Not is that the onboard debug lights at no time indicated an issue with the dram itself or the dimm slots. This is in part an issue with Best Buy and MSI both - the refund span for Best Buy is too brief when doing a thorough debug of what turns out to be bad hardware at home.

Great motherboard, works well, no complaints on this build.

I bought this with the ryzen 7 5800x great duo to play games on

Great motherboard, love the RGB on the board. Looks too good.

This is a good MB , easy steps and quality, I installed a AMD Ryzen 7 5700g with 16g of Ram , this is a beast gaming pc

I think this was a great choice for my pc build (3070 and ryzen 9 5900x) no problems with it and has lasted

Second motherboard in my setup and it has worked great for me.

Games awesome. Super awesome. Great gaming. Sick gaming dude. Awesom.

Picked this up a month ago and glad I did cool thing too is you can upgrade the cpu to something new now and days.. waiting for a 3060 to drop in my basket though lol. I highly recommend this motherboard.

This was the first motherboard I purchased piecemeal for my first custom PC, but I do have some hardware and engineering background. The instructions were rather thorough, accounting for all the varieties of other parts that are possible to connect with this mb. It did take a few attempts at installation, but due to my own mistakes. The board seems well built; the connections are solid. I enjoyed not having to remove the I/O plate and install it separately. I would buy again now knowing what I learned.
