    Great motherboard with Real WiFi 7 (320 MHz)

    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.

    MSI B850 - Solid and feature-packed motherboard

    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!

    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

    Had no issues updating from a b450. 9800x3d, cooler, ram, and case fans all work flawlessly with it. Yellow accents aren't as distracting as I thought they might be, given that they're next to rgb fans.

    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

    For the price, this motherboard has an incredible amount of features. Two PCIe 5.0x4 nvme slots that don't share lanes with the gpu slot or each other, just enough USB ports for all my peripherals, and an easy-to-navigate but feature-rich BIOS. Best bang for buck B850 board on the market. The lack of a debug display and the unfortunate black/yellow-green colors on the board are my only gripes, but those are relatively minor compared to the other things that could have been cut for cost-saving reasons.

    Best Bang for Buck AM5 board

    Best Bang for Buck AM5 board. This think is built like a tank. Pitch black for that setup where you want only the lights you want to show to shine. Easy to use BIOS. Setup for SecureBoot Windows 11 and Battlefield 6 worked at first launch. NOTE: BF6 would not launch on my previous Gigabyte board even though I had Secure Boot enabled. NO regrets with this board. Don't hesitate - just buy it. Has all the features you need and future proof for future processors and memory. Has all the bells and whistles the more expensive 870 boards have, but without the price tag.

    LOVE this board. Incredibly well build, coming from an MSI x570 board everything feels fresh, updated and refined. The now Bios used on these boards is great. Everything was very easy to find and set up. Tons of heatsinks, and it's working with my 7800x3d well. No complaints!

    Great motherboard easy to build in and very user-friendly bios. Booted up no issues with a 9800X3D CPU. My only complaint is the lack of actual instruction manual. But that seems to be the new normal with all PC components now. But 10/10 would buy again.

    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).
