I do not normally write reviews for Amazon products but seeing as this is new and no one else has had the chance to I thought I should share my experience with this motherboard for others.I bought this to work with the AMD Ryzen 5 2400g APU and it works perfectly for my small form factor build inside the Fractal Node 202. I am no expert on building PCs but the board worked out of the box and includes MSI easy to use BIOS interface. If you are thinking of using this for the APU build it is recommended to use high quality RAM and I used two 4gb 3000MHz sticks that work well with the system.If you are thinking of overclocking this with a more powerful CPU then you may need to be careful with heat

I originally purchased this motherboard over the Gigabyte Aorus version becasuse the latter had incredibly loud coil whine coming from the VRM area during high load.Switching to MSI eliminated all noise coming from the motherboard. For the price you a getting a good amount of features, good temps, decent VRM cooling and good build quality.Installation was relatively easy, BIOS updates are easy to do and it recognized everything out of the box. Running my memory at its rated speed, overclocking is a breeze and the newest bios fixed the fluctuating temps on my R5 2600.But, above all, there isn't a sound coming from the capacitors during stress testing and this makes me very happy.2 negativ observations on my part: this black and red look is not my favourite; the M.

Bought this for my first PC build, wanted a smaller PC so went for a mini itx build. It does what it's meant to, easy to install, BIOS is easy to use and considered a good buy.Currently in use with a Ryzen 3 2200g with Vega 8 graphics, 2 x 8GB DDR4 Corsair Vengeance RAM and a cheap GTX 550ti.The only issue I have had is that for some reason Windows will often BSOD with a couple of errors such as VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE and VIDEO_SCHEDULER_INTERNAL_ERROR.After hours of researching the only way I was able to avoid the issue was to install a dedicated graphics card.Sounds like the issue with the processor than the motherboard, but not 100% sure.If you decide to get one, be wary on the type of processor you get,

Brilliant board, so good I have two systems running it now (a 3600 and a 3800x). Both overclock great, the vrm runs cool and it clocks memory like crazy. I run one system with 2 x 16gb B-Die @ 3800 CL16 and the other with 2 x 8gb B-Die @ 3800 CL14. Theres just no reason to get an ITX X570 board unless you need more M.2 slots or until PCIE 4.0 for gpus becomes relevant. Even the new Lite bios is fast, easy to use and is pretty near feature parity now with the full fat UEFI on the MAX and X570 boards. My only complaint is the lack of a bios flashback button. I picked up my first board for £118 in July and my second board for £82 in warehouse with 20% off due to Black Friday. Total bargain.

Used this motherboard as part of a new Gaming PC build for the misses.Built in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth worked out the box on Windows 10 and the m.2 slot on the underside is an excellent addition for a minimalist build. Excellent BIOS makes it easy to set the clock speed for the RAM and CPU making OC'ing a doddle.One thing to note however is that i had to adjust the fan orientation of the Wraith Stealth cooler that comes with the RYZEN 5 2600 as the AMD logo on the fan shroud interfered with the RAM or the heatsink on the power rail. Easy enough to unscrew and rotate 90 degrees and those using lower profile RAM will likely not find this an issue.

Good, functional mITX board for small or micro builds. On board wi-fi is good with strong reception.Lots of USB 3.0 ports and header for the front panel.PCI-e slot for GPU so works as a gaming board perfectly.Only 2 RAM slots, as you would expect for a small board but still a drawback if you want more expansion options.Only 1 system fan header so you might need a splitter for more as one fan in a gaming system probably won't cut it.2 RGB headers and the Mystic Light software is decent.Control Centre software is good and UEFI BIOS is intuitive and easy to use for clocking and adjusting settings.

Very happy with the purchase as I wanted to use this with a Ryzen 3600 and as per older reviews plus wider checks on the web if this motherboards do not have the latest BIOS Ryzen cpus are not recognised. Which forces you to pay extra to get that done or getting an 2xxx cpu to do the job.So with all those concerns and thanks to 1 question in this publication went for it and worked like a charm.So if you are in the same quest I was rest assure BIOS its the latest from Dec, 2019 which is enough for Ryzen 3600 series.Aside from that setup was easy and delivery was extremely fast so 5\5 from this.

all good with this motherboard but I had only one issue, it might be because of the CPU or because of then BIOS, but when I add one 8GB ram it works fine and in windows it shows 8GB, but when I add a second 8GB stick , is not taking the dual channel, and more then that in windows shows 16GB installed 7.97 usable , the rest is hardware reserved , and no is not from windows as I set the hardware reserved memory to 0, and still same issue . i will upgrade soon so i don't mind that as i am using 8GB 2133Mhz and it works fine in games

Great itx board. Overall happy.I can just change the ratio and voltage to get 4.2ghz for 3600 and tested with cinebebch R20 and got 3700+One m.2 slot at the back of the board. If cooling is a concern then this is difficult to be cooled or use heat sink.The heat sink of the vrm is pretty big. Plan well before getting the cpu cooler.However. The memory kits i got were not the best just dont have the time to go into too much details for tuning the ram. Memory kits i have got are viper 4 3200 cl16

I bought this over others because it still has a couple of USB 2.0 ports on the back, it's rare that I need them but I've had compatability problems with old devices before that didn't like 3.0It's nice and compact, had no problem fitting anything in, overclocking is easy and the bios is nice to navigate.It also has 12v RGB mystic ports on the motherboard which I wasn't 100% sure it had until I literally looked at the board, maybe it wasn't clear in the description or on their website I'm not sure.

I bought this product but it wasn't ryzen 3000 ready, but this is nobodies fault as I bought this from the amazon warehouse meaning the specific board I received was a old revision hence why it didn't have the required bios. Anyway I updated the bios with my spare am4 cpu and it worked perfectly well. VRM temperatures are great, all the essential features are here: m.2 slot, plenty of sata ports, wifi and Bluetooth, and plenty of USB ports. For an itx board it has everything you need.

Good board, all looks good, biggish heatsink keeps the vrm cool. The pcm has a mid sized heatsink but is always around 60c, maybe ths is the norm for b450s as it dose not increase by much even under high loads, 65-70 max. Working in passive fc8 case for a few months.The Msi click uefi is good and my dram runs at 2933 xmp no problem, though it will auto set the soc voltage to 1.15v when using xmp, I set it to 1.00v without issue.

The motherboard works incredibly well. It is a great solution for small form factor PC that will be used as a work station and a gaming machine. However, it is limited in its features compared to premium cards of this size. It has nomeaningful overclocking capabilities and lack of fan curve setup, saying that it perfectly works with my Ryzen 3 3200g and for many people overclocking and fine tuning of fans is not an issue.

Had to do a bios update on the board I got but that wasn't too bad (cheap athlon one would do the trick) this then let me use the board properly. The bios isn't as well designed as others I've seen but it is still a good buy works well and fits perfectly in my itx case

IMO this is the best budget motherboard for Ryzen. I purchased it due to better vrm than other cheap motherboards and this allows for more future high end cpu upgrades.I will be uploading a YouTube video of the board soon on my channel "Ricco123tube"
