I’ve used this board in 2 installs. This was was the second one. The first one already had a m.2 with Windows 10 on it, I installed this board with a Ryzen 9 5950X, 64 GB Corsair Ram, Asus RoG 3060 OC V2, and that install booted right up.
This build pictured, was the second build I used this board on. Also has a Ryzen 9 5950X, and 64GB Corsair Ram. The NZXT Z73 AIO Powers 3 of the Corsair Fans, the other 6 Fans are powered directly from the board. No fan controller. This build also has a ASUS TUF Gaming 4070 TI, and an Avermedia Capture Card. This was a fresh build, so I used the slower m.2 drive to install a 1TB Samsung 970 Pro for the fresh Windows install, and also installed a Samsung 980 Pro in the faster m.2 drive for better loading times on games. This thing booted right up, installed Windows, ran Windows updates no issues. Updated the graphics card and other drivers. Then I ran Cinebench with a score of 23906 before closing tidying up the wiring and closing the case up. Ran Cinebench again with a score of 26330.
The only down side to the board is that the RGB on the board does not initially work in iCUE, but there is a work around for that so it’s really no big deal. This motherboard is literally the best I’ve ever worked with. Would recommend for AM4 Socket Builds.

Lives up to the Tomahawk series expectation. Excellent motherboard with no major deal breakers. Can’t speak about OC performance since I don’t dabble too much into it, but every review mentions that it does have a really solid VRM so it shouldn’t be a concern. I had no problems running dual 8 gig RAM sticks at 3600 MHz with XMP but it has a 6-layer PCB so RAM overclocking headroom is also ample. Not the motherboard for you if you care too much about RGB though, since the only RGB on it is underneath the chipset heatsink and pretty subdued. Would have liked to see some RGB on the VRM heatsink as well like the more expensive Gaming Carbon board, but its personally not that important to me. Another thing I would have liked is having more USB ports on the back instead of the 1 Gbps LAN port – having 2 LAN ports is pretty pointless for a regular PC. 5 USB-A ports is barely enough for my use but might not be for everyone, although it does have USB-C 3.2 Gen2 port so you could easily attach a Thunderbolt USB hub.
Looks-wise it has a really nice black and gunmetal finish that will probably match most builds without problems, although if you’re obsessed with having RGB on everything this might leave you desiring more.
Pros:
– 6-layer PCB, great VRM quality
– EZ debug LED for troubleshooting
– Integrated IO shield (standard at this price point but still worthy of mentioning)
– BIOS flashback (came in handy while installing my Ryzen 5 5600X)
– ALC 1200 audio codec
– M.2 heatsinks for both slots (to cover up ugly looking M.2 drives)
Cons:
– Only 5 USB type-A ports
– Very minimal RGB, no RGB on VRM heatsink
– No inbuilt WiFi (not an issue for me but some might like to have it instead of an extra LAN port)
– MSI’s RGB software leaves a lot to be desired
The cons are quite superficial IMO cementing that its a great choice with no real issues. I had a tough time deciding between this and the B550 Aorus Pro which has a lot more USB ports but I went with this because the Aorus board is known to have USB issues with XMP enabled. Overall I’m quite happy with it and it’s a safe choice – you can’t really go wrong with it. Pricing is a bit iffy and unpredictable though, anything above 20k and you’d be better off with an X570 board but at 16k-18k I feel its a decent deal.

The motherboard I bought was a little bit unlucky, I guess, because one of the gold pins of the USB Front Panel connections is bent, and I cannot use my front panel connections. It’s not a big issue for me, but maybe I’m a little bit disappointed since the motherboard is a little pricey. But overall, I don’t have any issues or encounter any problems using it.

Bought it for $70 off the original price because it was renewed. The description said it had marks, but I checked and I couldn’t find anything off. Everything works and I’m happy with my purchase.

Great Price for a great performance, perfect to match with a Ryzen 5 or 7 and you can make a pretty decent build up with this Motherboard
