Really good safe option motherboard for ddr5 and new pc tech gameplay. Does take a little bit to boot up but overall accessibility, performance, and cooling is good. I returned it for another motherboard that had a better price at the time being the gigabyte b650.

This new board has features I have never had before, like wifi and bluetooth. My last computer was from 2014. The instructions were detailed, even for those little peripheral pin hookups, and it installed very quickly. It has handled everything I have asked of it from paying bills and email to a marathon session of Diablo 4 (beta). MSI is a solid company with a good reputation. Just be aware there was some security issue with bios updates, dig into that to see if that was resolved before allowing MSI to push an update because it might not actually be MSI because someone hacked them and stole the security keys or something. I haven't updated my bios and everything runs great.

I've stuck with MSI Motherboards for a really long time because their BIOS is super nice, but this time there were issues with the motherboard that just really bother me, it has to do with the placement of some of the connectors on the board, mainly the USB 3.0, which on most motherboards that I have used, they put it at the bottom of the board for easy cable management, but this time they but it on the side, which if you have a beefy GPU, the wires get in the way, this is the first motherboard that I have used that uses a USB-C Connector and that has the exact same issue, it's on the side and can block big GPU. But you can work around it, it's just annoying to deal with. Other than that, its super nice, and nets great performance,

I've had many MSI boards in the past and never had issues with them. This one had me pulling my hair out for a while and on the verge of returning it. THANKFULLY a new bios was released literally the day I was contemplating this, and the bios fixed my issues (mostly). Occassionally the board will take like 3 minutes to boot (no idea why) and then everything is good. Most times it reboots relatively quick, but could still use some improvements. It is stable once booted and has all the 'normal' msi features in the boot menu.

I had purchased it to replace a motherboard I had gotten with a broken cpu socket. It was insanely easy to install everything and it’s worked great ever since my purchase.

This motherboard works great. I've owned it for several months and build my own gaming PC with this. The Wi-Fi and Bluetooth both have great range. While there are newer options on the market, they are very expensive and the "future-proofing" seems like it's just an excuse to spend too much money. This MB is likely to be everything you'll need in 2025 or 2026.

Best b650 motherboard out there it’s easy to use and it’s budget friendly

This motherboard is fantastic! I’ve not had any issues with it and it’s been exactly what I needed!

Great product. Needed a new motherboard since mine went out. Always go with MSI!

I paired this board with a 7800X3D and it works perfectly. I did try updating the BIOS with flashback before installing the CPU but it didn't seem to do anything so I put the system together and it booted up within a few minutes. Got into the BIOS and updated it to the latest stable November 2023 release and everything has been running smoothly. I should say that the initial BIOS was from April 2023, and it booted up just fine with the 7800X3D, so if anyone's worried about that, I don't think you should be. Just have a thumbdrive ready with the newest stable BIOS and update it once you put your system together and boot the system. Using this board with the 7800X3D and a 32GB kit of G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo Series RAM (running at 6,000MHz with Expo), and everything's been perfectly stable. Also running with a 6700XT and Windows 11. Great board for the price.

Upgraded from a crossfire hero VII, and I love it. Performs well, a ton of USB slots and USB-C. No problems after 2 years

This motherboard is simple and easy to use. Bios is very simple.

This motherboard works as intended. The BIOS works well and is easy to update, and installing components is easy. I did manage to strip a screw installing my GPU, but luckily they include spares so no harm done. I’m giving it 4 stars because I prefer to use software for fan control instead of the BIOS, and MSI Center is not my favorite. It works, but it has somewhat limited options and annoyingly has pop up ads.

Great mobo, all the features you'd want in a mobo. Wi-Fi/Bluetooth work great and range through out my whole house from the basement where the machine rests. BIOS is super clean and easy to use. M-Flash super easy to use. MSI brings military grade durability to all the products they sell and it's apparent in their motherboards most of all. High quality machining through the board. Strong material for IO shield. Plently of space

Works great. Lots of USB ports. Looks good in my build and has multiple m.2 slots. Solid board for the price.

great mother board. I like that it has debug lights so it makes it easier to trouble shoot your pc when one of the lights come on. The Wi-Fi antennas are good work perfectly fine. this is a good quality motherboard

Excellent product, worked really well with my build and incredible features!

First time building a pc so i cant compare to others. Love the ease of installation. Im able to play the games i enjoy and much better than playing on console

Plenty of sata ports and the bios is simple with plenty of options. The ddr5 capability was a huge plus. 6000mhz ram is a game changer. Love the option fkr wifi even though iight not use it all the time but ive needed it in the past and never had the option. Would rate 5/5 but I had to return my first boatd due to issues.

I first updated the BIOS and updated all drivers after installing Windows. I have had 0 issues. BIOS mode is simple to move around in and the built in wifi is great.
