Customer Ratings & Reviews

Really happy with this motherboard. The build quality is excellent and setup was easy. Everything worked immediately without any fuss. The WiFi 7 actually delivers the 320 MHz bandwidth they advertise, got 3.4 Gbps and there is a desk and a wall between the PC and the router (Access point), unlike some other boards (starting with A, ending with S) I've tried which only had 160 MHz :/ . With PCIe 5.0 and several fast M.2 slots, it should handle upgrades to come. The BIOS is easy to use and I had no trouble getting my RAM running at full speed. I like the clean design and all the connectivity options - lots of USB ports. No strange issues with my Ryzen processor or Radeon graphics card. Temperatures stay reasonable, it runs quietly, and building with it was straightforward (first time since the being box area for that I did a build) If you need a solid AM5 motherboard that covers all the essentials without cutting corners on quality, this one's worth considering. I'd definitely recommend it.

Looks beautiful, seems to be great quality but customer service is lacking unless you get the right person to answer. I bought this for my first custom build and have had issues with the BIOS and fan control, the fans were set to full blast out of the box and I'm a complete novice so not familiar with how to safely set fan curves. Installed MSI center, set the cooling wizard to follow MSI protocol and tried the follow BIOS, worked great until i restarted computer. Called MSI and they just told me my computer had custom fan curves and was staying super cool so don't mess with it even though it sounds like a helicopter. OK, well I figured out that MSI center was not enabled for startup, enabled it and still same issue. Uninstalled MSI center and fans still stay very ramped up, I'm guessing around 1,500 rpms. Customer service was excellent other times I've called but seems to be very hit or miss. The one guy knew less then me and that's very low bar. Overall i would definitely buy this or look at Asus, their user interface is better. Radeon 9060 xt, Ryzen 5 9600x, Corsair rx850x psu, Corsair 32gb ram 6400 with cl32, 1tb samsung pro

I bought this motherboard recently and I’m very satisfied. The VRM quality is excellent and keeps everything stable, even with demanding CPUs like the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. Another highlight is storage: it has two PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots, which makes it fully ready for future ultra-fast SSDs. Installation was also smooth thanks to MSI features like the EZ Debug LED and the tool-free M.2 design, which really help during setup. On top of that, audio quality is great (ALC4080) and connectivity is complete: Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and 2.5GbE LAN. Overall, it’s a well-balanced, modern, and future-proof board. Definitely worth the investment.

So far so good. Moved up from a very dissatisfying B650 Gigabyte board and was pleasantly surprised how well the RGB and fan control software works! Had nothing but issues with the Gigabyte software as a whole. Bios seems great to navigate and play around in. The other board would leave ports powered after shutdown prompting the need to switch off psu completely which I wasn’t a fan of. This one shuts everything completely down. Built my wife a budget AM4 setup last year on a B550 MSI MAG Tomahawk and even that board has been great which made me go in this direction for the swap in my own system. A little less appealing style wise than the previous gen Tomahawks in my opinion. Best board for the price point!

Great quality of life features like NVME quick release, Wi-Fi antennae quick connect. GPU quick release button. It fired right up and went through Windows 11 install without any issues.

This motherboard does the job for a really good price. Wifi 7 capable and new PCIe 5.0. Recommend if you're replacing your current MOBO or building a new PC.

Works perfectly! I have been using for my new PC build and it’s been a dream! Easy application of the storage, installed the CPU and didn’t even have to setup bios with this beast! 10/10 would recommend to ANYONE building a PC

Great motherboard. Performs excellent with ryzen 7 9800X3D cpu, 64gb gskill flare x5 6000 mt/s RAM

Easiest motherboard i've worked with so far!!!!!!!!

oretty nice, pretty good, nice mobo, works well for its use

I think this is a great motherboard. However the WiFi module sometimes would shut itself off and no longer be available in device management. I use this for productivity such as game dev and music creation as well as gaming and no issues

The MSI MAG B850 Tomahawk WiFi motherboard is a rock-solid choice for AM5 builds, especially when paired with a high-performance CPU like the Ryzen 7 7800X3D. It offers great VRM stability, excellent cooling, and plenty of features for both gamers and PC enthusiasts—including PCIe 5.0, DDR5 support, and built-in Wi-Fi 7. The layout is clean and installation was smooth, with BIOS updates being simple thanks to the Flash BIOS button. Overall, it’s a future-ready, reliable board that delivers premium performance without the premium price tag.

I recently built my new rig with the MAG B850 TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI, and I couldn’t be happier! Right out of the box, the build quality felt premium, and installation was super smooth. The BIOS is easy to use, making tweaking settings a breeze, even for overclocking. Paired with a 14th-gen Intel processor and DDR5 RAM, this motherboard delivers insanely fast performance. Boot times are quick, gaming is buttery smooth, and multitasking is effortless. The VRMs stay cool even under load, which gives me confidence in its long-term reliability. Its a fantastic choice. Highly recommended

Super easy to setup, and came with all the parts needed. I've always had great luck with MSI motherboards. Definitely would recommend!

Just finished building a pc with this board, and im seriously impressed, the board made the whole procedd a breeze: everything just worked right oht of the box. The wifi 7 is a game changer. My friend has been gaming with zero lag, and downloads are flying. The design is clean but still has that gamer vibe. It fits perfectly with his setup. Performance has been rock solid so far.

This motherboard works as expected. It’s a beast for the price.

The B850 is quite similar to the B650, but it still comes with several enhancements over the previous generation. It boasts a more polished and visually appealing design, along with a completely overhauled BIOS. The most significant upgrade is the noticeably smoother boot process. This board works very well so far.

I got this motherboard since i have good experiences with msi brand. And this didnt dissapoint the bios was fairly easy to navigate and it doesnt bottleneck my 9800X3D and my 9070XT. It did have its own RGB software that i didnt notice but after i figured that part out it works like a dream

Great motherboard with a solid design. Fairly future proof and pretty much the same thing as its beefier cousin the B870 whatever (with less ports). No weird bios issues that PC Part Picker was complaining about - something related to the AMD processor? I have a 9950x3d and it works fantastic with no issues related to installation. I can't speak to the WiFi because my Home internet is atrocious. Honestly the biggest pain for installation was the easy latch for the SSD, but only because I'd never seen that before. Just move the spring loaded thing to the side and the SSD slots right in (that took an embarrassing amount of time to figure out).
