  MSI is like Asrock, a little better... in short, it's not worth it because it doesn't meet all the requirements (for example, 1/10 it won't register commands from the mouse/keyboard even when you've pressed the button) and of course some blue screens due to software from various companies

  I bought it at the end of May for around €90 including shipping, and initially, it was installed in a very lightweight and budget build (Ryzen 3 3200G, 16GB RAM, GTX 1050 Ti OC 4G). It showed no issues except for the RGB on the "GAMING PLUS," which I don't know if it changes color because the MSI Center shows the option to change it; however, mine is always red. The only downside of this motherboard for me is that it doesn't have another M.2 NVMe PCI SSD slot. When I upgraded the processor to the Ryzen 5 5600, it required a BIOS update, which was done with a BIOS flash without any issues, and it was a straightforward process since there are many videos on YouTube for assistance. Now it runs with Ryzen 5 5600, 32GB RAM, RX 5700XT 8GB, and plays everything I want, like GTA V, Dead by Daylight, Red Dead Redemption, Spiderman, Arkham Knight, Call of Duty, Sim 4.

  It might be the motherboard I got, but it was showing an issue with the processor from the start, a red indicator light was on... I changed it, put in a new processor, and still the same... It is supposed to be good...

  Amazing. It comes with BIOS at the end of 2023. It supports all 5000 series processors. I ordered another one for a 5700x. Good sound, amazing Wi-Fi, beautiful, with many OC capabilities and very good VRMs. For those who don't have a 5090 (maybe PCIe 5) and don't care about the performance drop on NVMe 4, it's simply the best.
  Update: The 5700x is installed, 1.20 voltage, 4.6 all cores, Cinebench R23 15900, the VRMs are incredibly good in terms of temperatures, they can handle anything. Whatever I say is an understatement.
  Note: The 5700x with PBO -25 all cores and +100 draws almost 150 watts, more than the 5950x. The motherboard doesn't even break a sweat. If you think that with a B550 at this price you will get such VRMs, go for B650, because you simply won't find it

  Always in relation to its price at 74 euros, it is a very good and reliable budget solution for a 6-core Ryzen. Its VRMs do a very good job in conjunction with the Ryzen 5 5600x and their temperatures remain at quite low levels under full load. However, I do not know if the same would happen with a 12-core 5900X. The ports it has on the rear I/O cover the needs of most users. Now, the positives are its very good build quality, the 6 fan headers, support for M.2 NVMe drives. Ideally, I would like it to also support PCIe 4.0, but with Nvidia 3000 series and of course any older Nvidia card, there is no issue. (Only the Radeon RX6000 series lose performance due to PCI lanes as far as I know).

  Perfect motherboard, I bought it at the beginning of 2021.

  I combined it with:
  Coolermaster master box 5 msi edition case (matched perfectly)
  Corsair rm850x power supply
  Corsair af 120 fans
  Msi b450 gaming plus motherboard
  Cpu: ryzen 5 1600
  Liquid cooling: Coolermaster masterliquid 240
  Corsair vengeance rgb 32gb 3200mhz
  Samsung 980pro 256gb nvme
  Kingston 480gb ssd
  Gpu: sapphire r9 270x

  It handles everything perfectly, temperature-wise it's perfect.

  I recommend it, it's worth the money!

  Very nice motherboard. Incredible value for money. It has many ports and the BIOS is relatively easy for a beginner. But a very important feature is the red light that the motherboard has, which shows you what is broken and makes it easy to identify the problem.

  Simply flawless. If you don't need wifi, it's worth it fully. For bluetooth, you simply get a stick for less than 10€ and do your job. I did my first build with this one and the manual is very understandable and helpful.

  I have it for a short time.... the best in its price...
  Only one thing is strange. In the boot menu inside the BIOS, it doesn't show the SSD correctly.
  I had to try all of them until I found the right one with the boot file to start...

  Very good construction, generally the best

  It is the best B450 motherboard along with the Tomahawk Max, I believe, for the price of 80 euros. It is worth every euro, buy it if you are looking for a motherboard around 70-85 euros

  System:
  Ryzen 5 2600
  Rx 570 8 GB Vram
  2x4 GB Ram HyperX Fury
  Kingston 500gb NvMe M.2 SSD
  MSI Gaming Plus Max
  Seasonic Core Gm 650w Semi Modular
  3 Fans

  I easily overclocked the RAM to 3200mhz using XMP.
  It has plenty of USB ports.
  The BIOS is user-friendly.
  I had some initial issues, but after a BIOS update (I prayed that the power wouldn't go out at that moment), it runs smoothly.
  Overall, as a motherboard, it's worth it. I got it for €100, but I wish the price was lower.
  Don't go for the Tomahawk, it doesn't offer anything better that makes a difference

  In the first few days, it had a problem with the bios and the PC wouldn't boot, but it was reset and fixed. However, it is still worth its money.

  In my possession for about a month and I have no complaints since it works perfectly from the first moment. The BIOS is very easy to use with all the settings one would need for overclocking, fan curves, etc.
  It has the same VRM as the Tomahawk, but with a slightly smaller heatsink. This means that it can easily handle practically any Ryzen in a case with good airflow! Essentially, it is the same motherboard as the Tomahawk with minimal differences (USB type C, color). So we are talking about a very high-quality motherboard that offers excellent value for money. If you have an extremely limited budget or can't find the Tomahawk, choose this one.

  *Regarding the dragon center mentioned by the friend below, you can download the mystic light separately as a standalone application.

  Very good motherboard with some small "buts": It came Ryzen 3 series ready, so I connected the 3600 directly without any problem. The RAM (Corsair Vengeance RGB) ran at 3200 straight away with XMP enabled. All connections are easy, but I considered it a given for such a popular motherboard. Very good and detailed manual. BUT: MSI's software, Dragon Center, is downright bad. It interferes too much with processor settings, disables precision boost overdrive even if you have it enabled in the BIOS, resulting in the processor either permanently working without boost or permanently in boost mode with the cooler at 100%, thus rendering the capabilities of Ryzen useless. The only solution is to uninstall the program, but then you lose the ability to use Mystic Light, which is the only useful function it has, so the RGB cannot be adjusted except with a custom program available on the internet. Unfortunately, as good as the motherboard is in terms of quality and user-friendliness, and as customizable as the BIOS is, the Dragon Center is so bad that it ruins all the good effort. After many attempts to find a way to control the RGB without affecting the processor settings, I ended up with the following: Fresh install of Dragon Center and simply not touching the tab with the PC profiles, ignoring it as if it doesn't exist. If you change anything there, the program does its own thing. I turn on the PC, adjust the RGB as I like, and close the program from the system tray.

  The motherboard is perfect for someone who wants to install a Ryzen 3600 or 3600X and not spend too much. It comes with an updated BIOS, so it immediately recognizes the new AMD processors. It has the ability to easily update with a flash USB or software (although I couldn't do it with the software). I was satisfied with the quality (even though it's not ASUS) for a budget motherboard, and from what I've read, it has one of the best VRMs if someone wants to overclock. RGB memories work fine, you can download the MSI Mystic Light software and synchronize them however you want, along with any RGB CPU fan. As for the negatives, I would mention that the software is not nicely bundled, and you have to install the drivers one by one. Also, the pins for connecting the HD LED, PC Speaker, Power Switch, etc. are a bit difficult because it's very basic and doesn't have an extra compartment to put them all together on the motherboard (as I said, it's not ASUS). Other than that, for its price, it's a very good motherboard with a user-friendly BIOS, and the only things missing compared to the Tomahawk are the USB C and the LED lights on the motherboard (Mystic Light), but who cares...
