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.

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.

Rock-Solid Performance & Easy Setup

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

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.

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.

Review:
I recently upgraded to the MSI MAG B850 TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI for my AMD Ryzen build, and I couldn’t be happier with the performance and features this motherboard offers.
Pros:
Build Quality: The board feels very sturdy and well-built, with a sleek black design that looks great in my case.
Wi-Fi 7 Support: As someone who relies on wireless connectivity, the built-in Wi-Fi 7 support is a huge plus. It's fast and stable, offering a noticeable improvement over previous generations.
DDR5 Support: Ready for the latest memory technologies, I was able to install high-speed DDR5 RAM, which is fantastic for future-proofing my system.
Plenty of I/O Ports: This motherboard has ample ports for everything I need—USB, audio, Ethernet, and more. It makes cable management a breeze.
Great BIOS/UEFI: MSI’s BIOS is very user-friendly. Overclocking is simple, and I like the advanced settings for fine-tuning system performance.
Thermal Management: The heatsinks and thermal design help keep things cool, even under load.
Cons:
Price: It’s on the higher end, but considering the features like Wi-Fi 7, DDR5 support, and overall build quality, it’s worth the investment.
Size: As an ATX motherboard, it’s a bit large for compact cases, so make sure you have enough room before purchasing.
Overall:
If you’re building a system around an AMD Ryzen processor and want something that’s future-proof with excellent performance, the MSI MAG B850 TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI is a fantastic choice. It offers great value for the price, especially with features like Wi-Fi 7 and DDR5 memory support. Highly recommended!

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.

When updating your setup, one of the most important things is the motherboard. I chose this option because it is not only backward compatible but also because of the possibilities of updating to the latest technology in the future.

Good motherboard designed for new generation processors with ample expansion options. Worked with Windows 11 right out of the box. Arrived new and well packaged in contrast to the dective/used one I had to return that was pruchased from the smiley box retailer.

Solid board, great features and does everything one needs. Only down side is no digital audio out, but with such a solid DAD controller, no need for one, just use the audio out. Installed a new AMD R7 9800 X3D and did not have to do any bios flash, worked out of the box.
