Honestly this guy is so good.. I was on the fence about this board as I couldn’t find any proper information but this video really helped me make a confident purchase... definitely deserves a like from me
Welcome aboard! And thanks for the comment
how is it?
@@Shrixen I got one about 2 months ago and its been perfect. Stuck an R3600 and some Kingston RAM @ 3200 and an old 1050ti in it and everything just booted, easy. windows install was fast and problem free. I wouldn't mind a USB C connecter, but I also don't mind the $40AU saving... Putting that $40 into a GPU when the market gets it's shit together.
@@interesting.960 thanks a lot man also was the motherboard working with the r3600 first try?
@@Shrixen Yep, easiest computer I've ever built.
I only got this one because the MSI B450 Tomahawk was soldout
Yep sold out in most places now
same
Same
Same! Seems it is a solid board as well so I'm not mad. Haha.
Same here.
The B450 Tomahawk Max is currently sold out in Australia. Was a little disappointed that i had to go with the MSI B450 Gaming Plus Max at first but after watching this review you have put me at ease.
Good stuff.
cool enjoy your new board
Nice detailed review. This is the kind of review I was looking for my new MoBo
Glad I could help
how is it?
THIS VIDEO!!! explained in great detail in a way beginners can understand thank you. i wasnt should about the upgrade compatibility of the b450 mobos but youve answered all my remaining questions and given me my answer thank you.
Great to hear!
Great video, mate. I actually just bought one of these myself. The Mortar Max and Tomahawk Max were either all sold out, or like $40 more expensive, depending on the stores. Should be here in the next day or two, with the rest of my first PC build. BTW, I named my PC “Coromulus”. It’s a portmanteau of Coronavirus Stimulus.
lol spend the money wisely 😎
Normal atx
Superior review and one of the best I have ever seen on TH-cam...well done!
Wow, thanks!
@@mikesunboxing can you please tell me if it has a 5 volt 3 pin rgb plugin for rgb fans. It would help alot.
Thanks mate. I just ordered mine via amazon. Great board, the money seems to be worth it.
Keep it up and stay well.
Greetings from germany
Guten tag mein friend
@@mikesunboxing :)
Velan dank or something 😂
@@mikesunboxing "Viele Dank" , so you are welcome.
I wonder if you can do a review on the "Thermaltake Pacific R1 Plus Memory Cover RGB" - does it affect RAM temperatures, since they are coverd and get no more air flow from system fans?!
P.S. you got one more suporter
i'll see what i can do :-)
Just got this Board today
No research at all, just looked like a great setup for my needs
Then came across this vid and now very confident in my purchase !
Hope you enjoy it!
Detailed and thorough explanation. About to buy this mother board, and more sure than ever, thanks to your explanation.. Subss 👍👍
Thanks appreciate it
I just did since my gaming plus NON max has corrupted bios since I’m stupid and messed up boos flash. I was getting an upgrade anyways and now I have this motherboard, ryzen 5 3600, and rtx 2060
MSI tends to make pretty good products. I have the MSI Tomahawk in my computer and I have been nothing but happy with it.
yeah love an MSI product
This is just the video I needed. Thank you.
Thanks for watching
Is it the max version? With the latest bios it will support 128
Thank you for all the information! I've been planning my first build and I was needing as much info as possible on this motherboard. It has everything I need and more. You covered all of my doubts. Thanks again!
Glad I could help!
Thanks Mike! First build, first mobo, first foray into this vast world. I liked the fact that it wasn't the popular choice. Ur review makes me MUCH more confident and gives us the right info, the right way. Kudos!
Glad you like it! and thanks for commenting appreciate it
My only complain with MSI boards is that the ram slots are placed nearly on the top edge of the board. This causes it to interfere with most AIO's when ram with heatsink is installed.
yeah i never really noticed that but now i see what you mean
@@mikesunboxing is this prossor powerful like is it decent? can it support the latest Graphics cards?
@@michaelhawkins7389 the newest graphics cards are PCIe gen 4 and this board is Gen 3, at the moment it makes virtually no difference but Gen 5 is around the corner so it might start making a difference soon
@@mikesunboxing oh ok , thank you for getting back to me :)
@@michaelhawkins7389 No problem :-)
Thank you for this great review. This video helped me confirm my choice and now im getting this board for my rig.
Glad I could help!
how is your rig btw? planning on getting one for my cousin
Thanks for this review. Would you get this over the ASRock B450M Steel Legend and ASRock B450M Pro 4? These have been my favorite two boards recently, especially the Steel Legend which is fantastic.
If addressable RGB is your thing stick with asrock
Thank you very much for this informative and clear review, doing my first build upgrade alone so having the exact motherboard get broken down by area was very useful.
I've been running on ancient gear for about a decade now with the exception of my graphics card and have gotten by with good graphics and decent frame rate on games as advanced as Cyberpunk and Hogwarts Legacy on an Intel Core i5-7500 CPU and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (MVP of PC).
But no matter how I tried to make it work I couldn't get Space Marine 2 to function on my gear, so I bit the bullet and made the new setup around this motherboard and I don't know if it'll be like putting on glasses for the first time but honestly I'm excited to see everything I've been missing out on and more that that everything I'll be able to finally run.
TL:DR Thanks for the summary of the Motherboard, helped me make my new PC so I can play Space Marine 2.
don't forget that the 3060 is a pcie gen 4 card and this board is only PCie gen 3 so you won't get the full perfromance from it, but it will be close. Ideally a B550 board would be more fitting and offer better upgrade path for the long term.
@@mikesunboxing Thank you, I still have time to swap it over and return the other board since it just arrived. I appreciate your guidance on the matter and hope you have a great day, thank you once more 😁.
Can you test the vrm on this with ryzen 9 3900x or ryzen 5000 series !? It would be really interesting
i don't have the board now sorry or i would gladly try it for you
Will it handle ryzen 3900x or 3950x?
yes it will
Really good board done 2 builds on this though one was pre MAX, great function, value and bios is easy to traverse to find your settings
thanks dred - quick question how do you find it when using 3 pin fans on the headers?
@@mikesunboxing MSI b450 gaming plus max Vs b450m mortar max?
@@mikesunboxing Hi Mike, I'm just trying to figure out same issue on an old Gigabyte ga-z87x-ud5h driving me crazy, but on those the tomahawk and the mortar i think its the advanced settings, power management, find your header number and set a manual curve. Long winded way around it but I think its kind of just 100% on or off with those without PWM or without manually setting them. The other way around it is to use RGB fans with an independent controller or get some PWM fans from say Arctic for about £3.50 to £4 each I find them to be a half decent none RGB unit.
MiNi Weeddeerz the mortar is the better board as far as components and vrm the bazooka is one of the best boards on the market in that form factor
Buntu Dred yeah I think you might be right. Although I may have found a fix which I’m going to try out tomorrow
Mike is a great reviewer, he put in the extra effort to answer all your questions even the silly ones. Thank you like and subscribe
Bless you
I’m building a gaming PC and I’m going for the ryzen 5 and probably this motherboard and I’m wondering will that work?

tis is very helpful. thank u man. and a very decent review
Glad it was helpful!
Hi !!this motherboard pcie looks a bit samll can i install my gtx 1660 super on this motherboard ?
Yes you can
Silly question
Just what i was looking for, thanks
Glad I could help
Hello, thanks for the video it was pretty detalied, im planning on building my first pc, will this components be allright?
AMD RYZEN 5 3600
MSI B450 GAMING PLUS MAX AM4
GIGABYTE GEFORCE GTX 1660 SUPER OC 6G
(2) 8GB T FORCE VULCAN Z GRAY 3200MHz
spend the extra couple bucks to get some 3600mhz ram, it can be a small boost for the ryzen chips in that "sweet spot" and the price difference is negligible www.newegg.com/g-skill-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820232882?Description=ram%203600&cm_re=ram_3600-_-20-232-882-_-Product&quicklink=true
Should fit like a glove. Nice match. I have the same mobo and cpu and it works perfectly and i am sure the gpu will be perfectly fine
omg this is nealy the same that i built.my specs are:
Ryzen 5 3600
Msi b450 gaming plus max
same gpu as you exactly
16gb corsair venegance 3600mhz
How do you feel your set up? is it good for gaming? im about to build mine with same specs than yours.
Ramon chis it runs most games at 1080p ultra 100fps
I love this MB! it works with the low end CPU's and 3rd gen CPU's. Awesome MB!!
Would I need standoffs or motherboard screws
There are most likely to be some on your case already but you might need additional suppport with pillars and screws
Fantastic video, very informative. Thanks.
Shy Guy Thanks for the feedback! Please consider sharing the video and information on your social media, it really helps to grow the Channel :-)
I liked this motherboard more than MSI Tomahawk.
yeah it is a decent board
these are the reviews perfect
Thank you :-)
Nice board. My only real gripe is that MSI likes to use black/red (granted it's their color scheme) too much. It's very limiting in the colors you can use in a build with tempered glass panel cases. The boards from MSI that I've used was the Pro Carbon editions for that reason. But you're also paying a premium for the Pro Carbons. I've been using Asus ROG Strix lately though. I just prefer their software, aesthetics and their beefier VRMs more. But MSI is pretty good too. The only boards I've ever encountered issues with is Gigabyte. I've had or have known people who have had issues with several of their boards. Asrock is pretty solid boards also.
totally agree - i think if asus were a little cheaper they would be unbeatable
Greetings, I need help. I have the gaming plus max with a ryzen 5 3600, it happens to me that when I play video games or watch videos I suffer a short slowdown and the audio also slows down making a robotic sound, this lasts about a second, but it usually happens about once an hour during game section. Could someone help me to know what happens if the problem is of configuration or components, the components are new brought from Amazon approximately 4 months ago
This is maybe easier to fix or at least advise if we can ask more questions and get direct answers, so feel free to join our Discord chat and we can go over it in more detail discord.gg/gaeeDPw
There is information from several sources that this model of the motherboard has significant problems with the DRAM and power circuits. However, this motherboard looks really great aspecially for this price.
care to share those sources? im stuck now deciding between a tomahawk max or this gaming plus max. the only difference i can visually see is just better vrm's on the tomahawk.
@@musek5048 I didn’t keep links for myself, but there are several threads on the MSI's forum and Reddit. There are also several videos about this in the rus segment of TH-cam. I also chose between this motherboard and Tomahawk for the R5 3600 and I'm ordered Tomahawk. Not so much a difference in price to risk it.
@@horugvaua actually i just finished watching hardware unboxed's video on the 3950x with budget b450 mobos and the tomahawk surprised the hell out of me. I'm sold lol
@@musek5048 Yeah) I'm think Tomahawk is truly the best in it's segment
If the tomahawk has addressable RGB I would get it in a heartbeat
Thanks for the unboxing and review Mike. It's a nice choice for mid budget. I'd like to see a review of the AORUS X570 Elite WiFi. It's my candidate for a future upgrade (w/ a R7 3700X). Thank you!
i'll see what i can do. Thanks for watching Ricardo
thank you so much I thought I couldn't update the bios without a cpu Thank you so much.
Glad I could help
Hey, Mike... thanks for the video! Awesome! So the only difference between the Tomahawk Max and the Gaming Plus Max is the USB Type C? Are the VRM's different? CAD$144.00... not bad, but not great.
Yes the vrm is the exact same setup the whole board actually looks the same layout heatsinks etc
So a decent saving in some markets
Any different between heatsinks?
@@zorous9403 not a lot from the look of it apart from cosmetic changes
Hey bro... thanks for this great review, here in PH tomahawk is a bit pricey than gaming plus max. I was actually about to purchase tomahawk 2 hours ago but I said make another research on motherboards. And I stumbled again on your video this is the second time you helped me on my wishlist, first is the Gaming headset and this. NOw i know what I want for Christmas. Too bad ill be settling for athlon 200ge for awhile ryzen 5 still cant afford 😢.. Merry Xmas bro thanks again. MORE GREAT VIDEOS TO COME. You just got a new subbed from me...😀
Glad we are helping you! Welcome to the Channel too :-) Merry Christmas!
@@mikesunboxing hey bro thanks again for this vid already purchased mine, just a question what would you recommend the right parts for this motherboard? Such as type of ryzen 5, ram speed and the GPU. I was thinking, getting a ryzen 5 3600, for the ram ddr4 8gbx2 16gb 3600mhz but not yet sure what brand i would go to, then for the GPU i have no idea, im just afraid of the bottlenecking and spending all of my budget for something that in the first place i wont even need .. the ideal is for future proofing hopefully. Thanks in advance...😊

Brilliant review. Thanks Mike.
Glad you enjoyed it - thanks for watching :-)
I got the MSI 470 great board zero problems unlike the asrock x570 think I will be sticking with MSI from now on
I wish I could pin my colours to a certain mast but as a reviewer I should try and remain open and impartial
Excellent vid!! You definitely deserve more subs
I appreciate that!
Nice detailed video. My build is on this B450. Work flawlessly.
Ryzen 3400G
8 x 2 = 16Gb ram
RX 570 8GB VGA
nice setup
Whats your ram freq? Planning the same setup
thanks for this great video. would you say this board is better than the MSI B450M MORTAR MAX?
that is a MATX board so not really in the same segment but both are similar in quality VRM wise
Great video mate! Would like to get your opinipn on if the vrams temps on this are better than the tomahawks? I'm on the fence as to which to buy since I'm on a tight budget so wanted to see your thoughts. Cheers mate
they are very similar, but i guess it depends on what you are wanting to do and with what chip
Can use corsair vengeance lpx 16gb ram 3200mhz?
yes
Very well detailed review! Thanks for that! Subscribed! Keep up the good work! ;)
Thanks for the sub!
Hi, can you look how high the vrm heatsink is near the ram?
Or fit it in the pure base 500 with arctic liquid 280 in the top?
Thank you
Yes It can not a problem
@@mikesunboxing What about noctua NH U14s ?
This mobo have backplate pre-installed right ?
I've had this for 5 months so far it's been pretty good. I've just realised after watching Saturdays live stream that my bios is a bit out of date I'm on h50 which came out last July and the newest one is h70. Is it worth updating it? I have got an Rx 570 and occasionally info get a problem with the sound. Can you flash the bios straight to the newest version or do you have to do them one at a time? Not done this before. Thanks
sometimes the newest one can be flashed but read the individual versions just in case there is a bios that needs installing first
Hi Mike, I'm committing to a Ryzen 5 3600, an EVGA Geforce RTX 2060, but the tomahawk is sold out. What mobo would you recommend I use? I don't know whether to go for the Gaming Plus Max or go for an X470 or X570? Appreciate it.
this or the x470 are good choices
Thank you!very informative
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for saving me 60€ on a mobo i was going for the Tomahawk Max B450 but this is 60€ cheaper and this sounds alot better for a MoBo
glad to help
how is it?
I’m confused ab the m.2 with this board, so if I use an m.2 ssd what does that mean? Sorry I’m building my first pc
if you use the m.2 you might find a couple of the SATA ports are not available
m.2 is a physical connector for a SSD drive. It's a slot basically. There is a cost to using it - some SATA connectors are turned off (and it's official).
Great review! Was just wondering if this board has a wireless wifi connection or do you have to purchase a wifi card?
Yes you do need to buy a wifi device if you need wifi
I have a MSI B450-A Pro non-max board, pretty much identical to this one. It's a good board.
Thanks for the feedback Logan appreciate your input
Im waiting for MOBO to arrive with a 5700 xt on my build which is PCi.e 4.0 and as i read on the official msi site it supports it unless u use the other PCi.e then the speed will go down a bit. Still im in doubt and a bit afraid that the GPU wont work, should i be or not?:P
The pcie 3 is enough for that card even 2080ti is pcie 3 and that is a much faster card
Does the motherboard support headsets that also double as microphones? At 12:20 you talked about the highlighted red one being for speakers and audio. If I plug my headset+microphone into that port will I have access to the microphone? Also if there is a port designated for headset+microphone, will there be a dip in sound quality? Many thanks! I really appreciated the video!!
yes this will support loads of different setups. If your headset has a single TRRS jack you will need to get a splitter to make that TRS standard so you can plug the headset part into the earphone socket and the mic part into the mic socket - hope this makes sense?
Hey Mike, I’m not really good when it comes to building PCs and I was just wondering whether the NZXT all in one cooler will use its rgb if the motherboard isn’t rgb, great video and thanks in advance. :)
depends on which model cooler it is there are a few options to choose from and they work differently
Mike's unboxing, reviews and how to Thanks for the reply, as far as I’m aware the coolers are the same apart from there’s a 240mm one and a 280mm
I have one more question would this be able to work with a rtx 1660 super ? By asus and nvidea
yes no problem
I use the Gigabyte Aorus Pro WiFi. Not the Cheapest one, but runs the Ryzen 7 3700X very well. Temps are good and Built in WiFi runs great.
i just bought my first gigabyte board in a while and went with the b450 gaming x - got it cheap at CCL and came with a $20 steam voucher so works out about £65 which is excellent value in the current market
Hello sir, really detailed and helpful information :) but, will this motherboard support Ryzen 5000 series (eg- Ryzen 5 5600g) after bios flashback?
Yes it will
There are two audio drivers, Realtek HD Universal Driver and Realtek High Definition Audio Driver. Which one am I supposed to download?
both one is the app driver the other will download itself after
@@mikesunboxing Ahh I see, thanks
Will this motherboard work with a Ryzen 5 3600 without doing that bios flashback or do I have to do that bios flashback thanks for the review
will work out of the box

should be fine
Yep. The board is Ryzen 3000 compatible
this was such a great video thank you, i was wondering if this will support a ryzen 7 2700x and a 2060
Yes it will

im confused between ASRock B450 Steel Legend and Msi B450 Gaming Plus Max....my ab-350 died so i have a 1600 ..planning to buy a mobo with can support 1600 for time being and also 4000 series when it releases..need help
some B550 boards will work with 1600 but it isn't always guaranteed
Currently running a A320 board. With a Ryzen7 2700. Rtx2070. Still getting bad & drops. I believe it’s my board not being able to provide the power to my CPU. Upgrading to this board reckon it would be a good gaming performance increase?
yes that setup probably deserves a better motherboard but also consider your power supply - that can also make a big difference with a quality power delivery
what mobo w wifi will u recommend? pairing with ryzen 5 3600
this one will be fine or the asus x570 tuf is my personal choice with that same processor
I am currently building a system with Ryzen 7 3700x, RTX 2070 super and G.SKILL 16GB 3600 ram, I am stuck on choosing a decent mobo that's not too expensive budget is $200 what do you recommend. I like this mobo but i am just not sure with the RAM being 3600 and all. I am looking for performance, reliability and something that will last long and preserve my other parts. I don't care about lighting, Aesthetics wifi and all that jazz. Thank you in advance
get the asus x570 tuf gaming you won't regret it
@@mikesunboxing it's sold out everywhere :( and the places that do have it are overcharging, do you recommend the MSI b450 Tomahawk ?

Hey man love the review! I already have this mobo and I recently turned the smart fan control off for the CPU so I can get lower temps but my EDC is at 99% when having only browser tabs open. Is that ok? Even when I move my mouse it shoots up and I’m concerned.
i would turn smart control back on and see what happens to the EDC
@@mikesunboxing Hey man thanks it just fixed itself without me having to do anything. It could be since it's super hot rn and my cooler comes loose when my PC is upright. Hopefully going to get a new Noctua cooler so I can move my PC upright without the cooler falling off. My EDC currently is at around 87% and sometimes jumps to 92%. I switched my power supply off eco mode also which might have fixed it. Thanks man for the reply.
Did you have to Bios update the Motherboard prior to running the Ryzen 5 3600?
I'm having trouble getting into Bios with the MSI gaming Max Plus and a Ryzen 5 3600 CPU.
it should work straight away with that chip.
Will the Msi b450 tomahawk max work with the AMD R7 2700x? I have read online and checked msi's page and Google says it doesn't work together while MSI says it does. Do I get the x470 mobo or this MSI T Max...
yes it will work withe that chip no problems
any way to use wifi and bluetooth on this motherboard??
yes PCIe expansion card or USB dongle
Thank you homie this is a bomb ass review.
So I’m building my first pc and I’m getting a nzxt h510, would this motherboard fit?

@@jamesonwiggs797 well I’ve had my pc for a couple months now, it worked right out of the box and it fits great, I’m glad I didn’t go with a mini itx board, I think it would have looked awkward. Also something cool, I originally had a 2060 ko and got a GREAT deal on a 2080 super

What's a compatible MSI M-ATX B450 motherboard? I've got a Ryzen 7 2700X cpu I need to install into a smaller M-ATX board.
b450m mortar is a good choice or the bazooka
Great review! I am subscribing now..
Awesome, thank you! Welcome to the Channel :-)
Would you need to update the bios if your using a Ryzen 5 3600?
no works straight away
So when the motherboard came with the disk, I didn’t know what to do with it because my pc does not have a thing where I can put the disk in. Now my pc cannot connect to the internet and I am wondering if it’s cause I didn’t use the disk.
really you shouldn't need the disk, a modern fresh install of WIndows 10 should have all the necessary drivers to get you up and running
Hey man, really nice review. Buying this motherboard for my pc. Can you tell me that if i use a ryzen 7 2700 cpu with the gtx 1650, will it bottleneck? Thanks for the lovely review again :)
Yes it will, good setup
Hello, I saw in the review that the letters gaming plus light up on the board and that the line at the end of the board near the audio chip lights up at the same time. On my board, only Gaming Plus lights up, what do I need to do to make the mentioned line light up. Thank you
might be a newer revision, it should just light up without any user intervention
Watched your first video, new subscriber
Yay! Thank you! And welcome to Our Channel :-)
what kind of fans would work the best for this board, i cant seem to find fans with the small 4 pin connectors, there either 3 pin or the big 4 pin molex. i need 4 pin for this board. can anyone help?
arctic p120 or f120 are a good choice
@@mikesunboxing awesome, thank you.
Can I ask. Im doing a build for a friend. He has this board on the way and a ryzen 3600 do i need to flash it? Or will it work straight out of the box
It might just work anyway it is likely to if the board is new stock otherwise the bios is easy to flash from a usb stick, I’ll do a video tomorrow to show you how it’s done
@@mikesunboxing thank you mike. Your my new favourite YT reviewer. Yeah the box says it will work. Its not my build you see. So i gotta go get a usb get a computer etc. Then sort it etc
bless you that is kind of you to say.
Hi there, just for your info: My ryzen 5 3600x just booted up straight out of the box
@@milchmonster6237 awesome news! enjoy the rest of the build
I am building a system with r7 2700x i want to overclock it slightly not into too much overclocking but i am really confused between tomahawk and this one😭 what should i buy?????????
either will be fine get whichever is cheapest
Hi Mike, does this MoBo work with Ryzen 5 5600x after i flash update the BIOS?
yes it will
Hi i'd like to buy that motherboard + ryzen 3600 + 2070s. For wifi connection what do y suggest? A pci card or usb dongle? Thx
Dongle is my choice as they are cheap and can be moved around on a extension cable if needed
I have a question if you can answer is the type c ports just like used for vr gaming or what does it have to do with like the microphone I don’t know what it’s used for
type c is the future of USB lots of devices can use it and more and more are available every day. But if you don't have any usb type c devices it makes no difference to the actual performance of the computer
Hello. I'm new to pc tech but I'm planning to build one soon. I have a already bought this exact Mobo but I've ordered a ram with a speed of 3600mz.Will it still work in the motherboard? And if so how much of the speed will it support?
it should run at 3200 or 3466 you might even get 3600 manually entering the details
@@mikesunboxing thanks for your answers. But I'm confused on what to do. Enter what manually where ? Thanks in advance
@@clarencegramula3971 You are supposed to go to the bios. There are many videos on TH-cam explaining how to do it.
I'm gonna build my first pc for the first time . MSI gaming plus max b450 / Ryzen 5 3600 / MSI 2060 super Ventus OC 8 gb . Is it a good combination or not ? Thanks in advance
Sounds good 👌🏼
