One of the best motherboards you can get for its price and it doesn't have gpu lane sharing when you use multiple ssd slots. Everything works out of the box.

I did all the research and this is best board bang for buck. Unlike other manufacturers from the same generation of motherboards, the PCIE 1 slot does not lane share, and this board only lane shares the USB4 with the m.2 2 in which case it runs gen 5x2. It makes getting a drive like the Samsung Evo Plus worth it, which I also bought from Best Buy!

Solid motherboard if you want the extra bells and whistles. IMPORTANT: the wifi will not work if you're on Windows 10. Make sure you have a wifi-6 card if you're on Windows 10. Luckily I did, because I didn't even think to check if that was going to be an issue.

This mother board made such a difference. It’s night and day highly recommend

This motherboard is fantastic! The price might be on the higher end but I’d say it’s worth it 100%! This motherboard comes with everything you need and pretty much ready to go after you plug it in. No need for a laptop to reach WiFi and to install drivers. They provide you with all the things you need in the box!

Great board, love the look, the RAM tuning on it was amazing as well. Highly recommend for a budget board, same with the b850 tomahawk

This motherboard is the best value out right now. Its future proof.

My 2nd MSI motherboard now, works wonderfully for my build!

This product is super nice, you can really feel the quality of the motherboard. The ease release pcie gpu slot is very helpful when you have big graphics cards. No issues at all and it looks really cool with the green accents. Loving it so far!

Excellent board, good WiFi range, and what make this difference in this board is the built in cooling for all the plug in components.

Powerful motherboard that fits everything I want and does all it needs to do.

Great mobo for new gen specs. Highly recommend friends

Amazing Motherboard! Havent had any issues makes all my components mesh together amazinf

Love how the PCIE lane sharing does not affect the main gpu pcie slot.

Okay, let's begin. This is a solid MSI board and if you have enjoyed the MAG series boards, then this one will not disappoint. Installation of CPU presented a bit of a challenge since the socket was not clearly marked where the "corner" was. However, if you call up the manual on your phone, the diagram will show you. If it is your intention to keep the board, make sure you get the CHK code before you mount it, because when you do product registration with MSI, you will need it and the serial number. Installation of M.2 SSDs is pretty user friendly, and if you are populating all 4 M.2 slots, then be warned that the M.2_2 slot shares a lane with PCI-e x4 and that goes to the 40Gbps usb slots in the back. If you use the M.2_2 slot, you need to be aware that your bandwidth will be reduced to x2. Another thing to note is that the M.2_2 slot will not operate with an AMD 8000 series processor. M.2_1, 2_3 and 2_4 will still operate though, but if you want to populate all four slots, then a 7000 or 9000 series Ryzen CPU would be the way to go. It has 2 USB 2 headers on the board, pretty standard, and 2 USB 3 headers as well, which is a change from the TUF board I had which only had one USB 3 header on the board. The number of USB ports on the I\O panel are good, but the color coding makes it easy to plug the right peripheral into the right slot. There is a 5G ethernet port I am itching to try out. once faster service becomes widely available and the WiFi adapter does a good job maintaining connectivity with my gateway. The first boot up took some time because the board had to get used to the DDR5 sticks and bios has to determine the boot drive and all of this takes a few minutes. Once the board learns what it has installed, then my boot times dropped to about 18-30 seconds, and that's with a Ryzen 9 7800 and G.Skill Trident Z Neo sticks set to 7200 MT/s. The PCI-e5x16 slot is ready for the next generation of video cards, but if you have the money for one of those, then you can splurge and get a Carbon WiFi board, or a MEG Godlike, just keep in mind how many SSDs you intend to install and research if those boards have the M.2 slots to accommodate your needs. All in all, it's a solid board for casual gamers, and MSI tends to stand behind their products, which makes the RMA process a whole lot easier. One negative, if we can call it that is it is a bit pricey now due to supply chain concerns. I purchased it at $299, but now it's about $100 more.

Really good motherboard so far. Performs well with my 9800X3D and it worked out of the box, no need to update the MOBO. Use M2 slots 1 and 4 if you got M2 drives and leave the rest alone or you might run into some performance problems especially slot 3 because it shares bandwidth with the fastest Type C port in the back, if you're not gonna use the type c port though you can turn off the Type C port in mobo and have full speed dedicated to the #3 M2 slot. Also a heads up, the Wifi on the board will not work unless you're on windows 11, if you plan on sticking with windows 10 make sure you are hardwired or get your own wireless card. It's not MSI fault honestly, windows 10 simply doesn't support WIFI 7. Overall I'm pretty happy.

This board has alot of features. Very good options and good bios. great modern chipset for am5 cpus.

I've only had it a few days, but so far it's been great! The main reason I choose it was because it was one of the few AM5 motherboards that had what I felt was good lane sharing. The only thing that is shared is the 2nd M2 slot and USB4 with the option to disable one or the other for full bandwidth. It also has 4 M2 slots which was important to me for future upgrades. The other big reasons I picked was it also had S/PDIF out, great USB connectivity options, POST code LED, BIOS Flashback, anda clear CMOS button. All excellent features to have! It also has great VRMs, a 5x16 PCIE slot as well as 2 other PCI slots, and a large amount of headers on the board for all your expansion needs. The BIOS has been solid as well. If you want a great AM5 motherboard for a reasonable cost this is an excellent option.

This board offers a lot for the price compared to other x870e boards. But there's one big issue currently that will likely cause you frustration. On the plus side, there's a ton of I/O options on the back. The easy lock / release for PCI-E slot 1 is awesome. The wifi antenna is far and away better than my previous motherboard's 3rd party. BIOS offers a lot of easy to access settings. The M2 SSD quick-release tabs are so nice, as are the tool-less heatsink panels for them. However, this board hasn't been perfect: The M2_1 slot has a notorious issue in which it boots with PCI-E 1x4 interface speed, vs 5x4 or even 4x4. To get the proper interface speed, you have to reboot over and over - 4 or 5 times each time to launch with the correct interface speed. Take a quick google search for "PCIe x870e tomahawk M2_1" and read more on it, how wide-spread it is, and what can be done about it. MSI Support claims it's an RMA issue, but then released a BIOS update that resolved the issue for multiple users - then immediately removed that BIOS update from being available for download. I'm sure it'll be resolved at some point, but it definitely isn't today. Just FYI.

The MSI MAG X870E TOMAHAWK WIFI is a solid ATX motherboard for AMD AM5 systems. It offers excellent VRM stability, making it well-suited for Ryzen 7000/8000 series CPUs under both gaming and productivity loads. Built-in Wi-Fi 6E, robust cooling, and plenty of connectivity (USB-C, PCIe 5.0 support) give it great future-proofing. For gamers, it drives high clocks reliably and pairs perfectly with powerful CPUs and fast DDR5 RAM. For creators and productivity users, the feature set — including strong power delivery and expansion options — ensures smooth performance in demanding workflows. Overall, it’s a versatile, dependable board that hits a sweet spot between features and price for an AM5 high-end build.
