Solid board for occasional gaming workhorse comp
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

It's good, weird connector placement
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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,

Great priced motherboard... a few issues
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Solid Budget motherboard
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great B650 board without the fluff.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Mag b650 review
||Posted .

Good motherboard
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Excellent Motherboard
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

MSI MAG B650 NEW AM5 PLATFORM
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was really excited to try another new MSI board from the AM5 generation. This was the board I chose because I like their onboard wifi and bluetooth chips and they usually are flawless. My first board came defective with bent pins in the cpu socket. I purchased out of town to start my build and had to exchange for another board when I got home. The second board was fine and works great, everything was as it should have been the first time. MSI always makes good products, the new AM5 sockets will most likely have some production issues at the beginning. Hopefully it doesn't happen again. Other than that issue, the current board is doing everything I need it to.

Decent Priced with Nice Features.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Super solid mid tier mobo
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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

This is a great board! Better than Asus Proart!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had bought Asus ProArt board to go along with my 7950x but had to returned it since it was faulty! Slowest boot up time ever. I went with this Msi board and just wow what a big difference! Easy to install, everything works! And the boot up time is way faster than the Asus board. Great product!!
