I've been using this motherboard for quite some time now, and overall, I am very happy with it. Installation was straightforward, and I didn’t encounter any issues setting it up. It’s been running flawlessly since day one, and I’ve had no stability problems or crashes, which is always a good sign.
The build quality feels solid, and the layout of the ports and connectors is well thought out, making cable management easy. I especially appreciate the ample expansion options, including PCIe slots and memory slots. The BIOS is user-friendly and offers plenty of customization options, allowing me to tweak settings without feeling overwhelmed.
Performance-wise, it’s been smooth, whether I'm gaming, working on intense applications, or just general use. It handles everything with ease. The motherboard also supports the latest technologies, which helps future-proof my build.
In terms of connectivity, everything I need is available, from USB ports to Ethernet, and the onboard audio works well without the need for additional sound cards. I also haven’t had any thermal or noise issues, even under load.
Overall, I’m very pleased with my purchase. It’s a reliable, high-quality motherboard that does exactly what I need without any fuss.
Pros:
Solid build quality
Easy installation
Reliable performance with no issues
Plenty of expansion options
Great connectivity options
Cons:
connector pins are a bit small when connecting hard drive, power, reset connecters, wished they standardize it as one plug.
If you’re looking for a motherboard that simply works and doesn’t give you any hassle, I highly recommend this one!

My original motherboard failed and I needed a quick replacement. This one was in my price range and readily available so I grabbed it as a temporary solution until I could get something better. It's a decent mid-range motherboard and it did what I needed it to do with little to no extras. Pros are that it holds up, works perfectly fine and has the ports you would expect of a b550 motherboard. Cons are there's no bifurcation as that's something I was looking for in a motherboard and was given the wrong info.

I’ve been using the MSI B550 Tomahawk Max WiFi motherboard for a few weeks now, and I’m really impressed. Setup was straightforward, and everything worked right out of the box with my Ryzen 7 5800X. The BIOS is easy to navigate and had no issues recognizing my RAM or GPU.
Wi-Fi 6E has been super fast and stable, which was one of the main reasons I picked this model. The board also runs cool and has enough headers and ports for all my needs. Build quality feels solid too — definitely not cheap plastic like some other boards in this range.
Overall, it’s a great option if you’re looking for a reliable B550 board with strong features and future-proof connectivity.

The motherboard is clean, dark and stylish with a nice feature rich b550 chipset. Bluetooth hooks right up to my controller and earphones, has optical out for audio if you still use that like i do too.

I have had it for almost a week now, it is a major improvement. A little bit of a pain with flashing the CMOS. I recommend going ahead and downloading the latest CMOS and putting it on a flash drive before you start your build. Follow instructions, It was pretty simple, but I read the instructions and issues before taking the old one apart. I did not upgrade that much, yet what I did made some dramatic changes. I had an MSI 450 PRO with a Ryzen 7 2700x processor. I switched to this B550 Tomahawk mainly because of the price and the M.2 (NVMe) slots. Being on a budget I used the 2700x from the B450M motherboard.. My system is this MSI - B550 TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI with the Ryzen 7 2700x and 32 gig of Corsair P3600 RAM, Samsung - 990 PRO 2TB, and an MSI - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ventus 3X graphics. My benchmark test went from the top 55% to the 86% I am posting a picture of. For me, it is a great motherboard for the price.

Perfect AM4 motherboard that doesn’t break the bank. This motherboard has enough USB ports to connect my keyboard/mouses/monitors/flash drive/mic and other usb accessories. The bios was up-to-date and I was able to use my Ryzen 5 5600 without any hassle. RAM comparability is also to-notch with this MSI motherboard allowing me to overclock my ram MORE than the advertised speeds. It has plenty of bandwidth to connect fast PCIE Gen4 drives and I got the full speed out of my Samsung 990 Pro. It also comes with built-in WiFi and Bluetooth to allow internet connection without Ethernet cable and to connect things like game controllers and headphones. Unfortunately I had to return this part with some other because I got an AMD GPU and it was crashing in games (nothing to do with the motherboard). I’d definitely recommend this motherboard for anyone that wants a well-built, feature rich and nice-looking motherboard for their next pc build.

I love this mobo. Looks great, has a lot of features, especially fan connections. I have always hated boards that only give you a couple of headers for fans and force you to use fan controllers. I like to have my fans monitored and controlled separately. There are only 2 usb headers but that's ok its enough to work with. Bios is easy to work with. Stays cool. Easy to overclock.

I got this motherboard after the one from amazon came in busted. It was at my best buy store and all I had to do was go and get it. When I got home it was easy to figure out where to put things (very well marked out fans, ssd, etc). This being my first pc I ever put together I was relieved when it turned on with its little LED working. I have no complaints and it works perfectly fine for what I do. (I.e. ffxiv, triple A gaming, with web site searching. Not really recording or anything). I was even asked if I got a new microphone at some point lol. Recommend this to anyone who needs a motherboard in a jiffy. Ignore my crappy wire management, it works and thats what I care about :)
