Customer Ratings & Reviews

I chose the MSI MAG B850 Tomahawk MAX WiFi for my new AM5 gaming build, and it has been an excellent purchase. The installation process was simple, and the layout of the board made cable management and installing components very easy. The BIOS is well organized and easy to use. Setting up my DDR5 memory with the EXPO profile only took a few minutes, and the system has been completely stable ever since. I also appreciate the built-in Wi-Fi 7, plenty of USB ports, and multiple M.2 slots, which give me room for future upgrades. The overall build quality is impressive. The heatsinks feel solid, temperatures have remained low even during long gaming sessions, and everything worked right out of the box without any issues. The only thing to keep in mind is that this motherboard offers a lot of features, so first-time builders may want to spend a little time getting familiar with the BIOS settings. Other than that, I have no complaints. Overall, this is a fantastic motherboard with excellent performance, strong build quality, and plenty of connectivity. I would definitely recommend it to anyone building a new AMD Ryzen gaming PC.

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.

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!

My Asus X670 mobo failed me. I was shopping for a cheaper replacement and this was in stock and an easy swap. Most of my connections lined right up and was back in business in no time. Great features for the price and booted right up with no issues at all. Has all of the features that I need for what I do. The only con I have is the audio quality. The Asus X670 had much better audio but it was much more expensive too. The audio is satisfactory with my amplified speakers, but was terrible with headphones. I bought a DAC to fix that issue, but could've just spent that extra on a higher end mobo.

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.

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

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

Great motherboard 2 m.2 ssd connected directly to the CPU and two other more to the motherboard chip set and in the back IO more than enough connectivity, such as USB type C and type A

This motherboard looks awesome, has plenty of pcie slots, and a gpu release button. Also has a usbc header which my last three boards didn’t. Solid am5 mobo. Definitely recommend

this board worked great for my build i have had no issues or problems whit it looks great and dose its job well for anyone wondering it’s hooked up whit a ryder 7 9800x3d and a 5060 runs great and performance is even better

Everything works perfectly, it has excellent heat dissipation, I recommend this product 100%.

Made building my PC for the first time super user friendly and looks pretty sleek. Good high quality motherboard for a decent price.

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.

One of many parts to my new build that runs smooth, fast, quiet, and cool.

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.

This is a really good motherboard no issues at all

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!!!!!!!!

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
