Heads up, I just spent several hours troubleshooting a friends PC and the issue was that Thermal Pad for the NVME does not contact it and allows it to slide down. Your Mobo has a screw for that, and even with the heatsink it should be installed.
I got the same mother board, was hoping for a close up of the wire in for the Section JFP1 and JFPWired. It’s my first time building a PC I got the Fractal Design Meshify 2 XL ATX Full Tower Case.
Look at the manual that came with. It has a picture that shows how each one plugs in. You just make sure you have the board facing the same way as the picture shows. You got this!
Tips: 1. Don't push the cooler into your paste, lift it and put it back. Just push it down once and screw it into place. The pressure spreads the paste. 2. Fit the RAM before fitting the motherboard into the case. As with the CPU, that helps to avoid dust and hairs getting into the slots. And it's easier. 3. You may find that your top fans are sucking airflow away from the cooler before it's passed nicely through the fins. Test the CPU temps with either or both of them unplugged.
@@PCBasics Wasnt there a standoff/screw right under your drive? It sure looked like that in the video. Standoffs can be ordered via amazon, ebay, newegg etc...specifically for MSI mobos (i had to look this up recently)...6 bucks + shipping and then you are set for a number of SSDs
@@PCBasics Yah its just one of those goofy little details where you really want things exact, so that IF (heaven forbid) there are issues, its one factor eliminated. Story for you, happened this week: Im doing some crap in the workroom/garage, unplug a fan to plug in air compressor. I go back inside, after a little while the Internet to the house dies. A couple of hours go by, im waiting for it to come back up. It might drop on its own maybe an hour or two in an entire year. Finally, stupid me remembers: the plug had the fan plugged into it AND the outside internet box/battery wall pack on the house. Dumb ass me! So, I sincerely suggest to eliminate any possible variables so you arent chasing them later!
New to this PC building and I got the same mother board, any tutorial on where to plug the wires into the mother board to the base? And how to set up fans
Que tal una consulta... TENGO TREMENDA DUDA ya he buscado por todo internet y no encuentro mada claro... Ya tengo esta placa con un ryzen 5 5600x con 2 módulos de ram fury beast de 3200mhz 16×2 la duda es al ponerle otros 2 módulos IDÉNTICOS EN TODO funcionan LAS 4 MEMORIAS EN DUAL CHANNEL? O bajan las frecuencias a menos de 3200mhz? He buscado por todos lados y el manual dice dimm de dible canal.. y en foros hay opiniones encontradas... Desde ya muchas gracias
@fletesmudanzasyserviciodetaxi they should work in dual channel with 2 sticks in the correct spots or with 4 sticks total. You will need to set the frequency in the UEFI settings. If you set it to 3200 MHz in UEFI they should all run at the proper speed of 3200 MHz.
@PCBasics thank you very much. I changed my motherboard and CPU today, but my computer won't turn on. So I thought the power shortage was the problem, because my power supply is 650W.
It shouldn't take much force at all. You will hear it click in. Look up what a PCIe x16 slot looks like and make sure it matches the slot you are putting the graphics card in.
@@PCBasics Yeah i put it on the silver one but the thing is it won't fit there's no click i'm afraid to put force on it cause i know it might break the card
@@IcedCoffeeCrazy the card has a tab on the bottom right of the card. That may be hitting your motherboard, make sure that is clear. Also, make sure you took the protective plastic off of the gold pins on the card. It would be black. I would push down carefully until you hear a click. If it doesn't work. Watch a video on how to install it so you don't damage the card.
@@PCBasics I have one question so u the chip on the gpu like u use to plug in the gpu to the motherboard pcie slot alittle of it came off on the left of the gpu I think it might be the problem and I bought it used on Amazon
I'm considering this motherboard. I'd like to install the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X Vermeer 3.4GHz 16-Core? Any issues with this cpu / motherboard combo? Maybe someone could chime in.

You are so very right. He needs a bit more time to do that kind of video or someone to help him.
What if the motherboard doesn’t have a screw slot? I just bought the b550 max WiFi and it doesn’t have one

You can DL the manual from MSI. I had to do the same thing. Bought a refurbished board. Came with everything but the manual.

I appreciate the tips my man. I'll keep that in mind. :)

Keep what on?
@@PCBasics the cover for the thermal pad
@@XxVermyxX no, if you aren't using an SSD you don't need it. I would just leave it there if I were you.
@@XxVermyxX I am talking about the thermal pad for the SSD, yes.
@@PCBasics thankyou very much
why didnt you use the screw to lock down the NVME drive, you just put the thermal plate on top...ugh
The thermal plate screws it down. And I didn't have a standoff for it.

@@PCBasics should be in the motherboard box. It come with three but they’re tucked under the cardboard most do the time!
Did you say you should replace your CPU thermal paste every couple months? @7:00
Whoops yes I did. 🤦
New to this PC building and I got the same mother board, any tutorial on where to plug the wires into the mother board to the base? And how to set up fans
In the manual it will say where to plug in power, audio, HDD light, ect. I would make sure you look at that. It shows you where everything goes.
@@PCBasics thank you! Being new at this can be scary honestly but I’m excited thanks for the good video aswell!
@@war_pheonixgaming7754 you got this! Let me know if you have questions.
What brand are those three extra fans you put on top and right of the motherboard?
Would you say they’ve helped w performance or do you think the pc can run smoothly without them?
Corsair
How did you boot to windows immediately, did your ssd already have windows in it or did you install it via USB off camera?
I already had windows on the SSD.
Thanks for this vid. First time builder and this was helpful to prepare :)
@@holidaynexpress glad it helped. :)
If you put too much on and later try to take it off, can’t you use a heat gun to separate it ? Or at least weaken it
Thermal paste
@@DuhstinEchos you can just take the bracket off the cooler and rotate the cooler back and forth until it loosens
My ssd slot screw was broken and I couldn’t put my ssd so I just use the bottom one
MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk MAX WiFi Gaming Motherboard Can we install AMD Ryzen 1600 processor in it?
I believe so.
My one just not turning on idk what I did wrong
Recheck the connections especially the power button cable that's connected to the motherboard
I got everything connected it’s all in I think idk I think ima have to take it into a pc shop or something
@@TzTamer is it getting power at all?
@@PCBasics I flashed it with bios and it glowed red so I think so
@@TzTamer Yes, that means it is getting power. Did it stop working after flashing the bios?
Why so much thermal paste? Everything says to use pea size blob in center and that’s it
@@Dert666 I probably put too much one. 😂
whered you get the screws to mount the motherboard
In the box
@@PCBasicsim confused though, because it didn’t come with 5-6 screws to mount it? am i doing something wrong
@@uzeryy Did you buy a new motherboard or was it used?
@@PCBasics new, the package came w 2 sets of 2 different silver screws but there’s so tiny they can’t even get past the motherboard and into the slot
@@uzeryy You may want to look on amazon for pc screws
what did you cpu do you have and did you have to update bios or anything
I did not have to update the bios. I have the Ryzen 9 5950x.
Does this come with a wifi receiver built in?
No, I bought this one without WiFi. I think there is a similar model with WiFi.
What is that 1:51
M.2 SSD with a thermal contact pad.
Was it necessary to update the BIOS to get the computer working?
It depends on what bios the board shipped with. I updated it to get best support.
question, did the b550 tomahawk run the ryzen 9 5000 series straight out of the box ?
For me, it ran it out of the box, yes.
NO
@@God_Zeniwhat happened for you? i have 9 5900x and have this mb coming soon
A pea sized amount of thermal paste is all you need

What's the CPU you're using on that PC?
Ryzen 9 5950x
My motherboard won’t screw in no matter how many time I line it. Up
@@steven7297 do you have a standoff screwed into the case?
Is it bad tht my gpu didn’t click in cause my game has been choppy and fps drops I have refresh rate to the highest I have a 4070
It needs to be securely installed into the motherboard. You should also have it secured with screws to the case.
@@PCBasics I have one question so u the chip on the gpu like u use to plug in the gpu to the motherboard pcie slot alittle of it came off on the left of the gpu I think it might be the problem and I bought it used on Amazon

Is there a way to connect wifi to this?
Yes, with a USB wifi adapter or a pcie wifi card
How to activate wifi with that motherboard?
It doesn't have WiFi on board. You will need a wifi adapter.
@@PCBasics but if i dont have an wifi adapter how can i have access to internet? (I just built my pc)

Where did you get all these screws to lock the motherboard down to the case?
They come with the motherboard but I used the ones included with the B450 I just removed from the case
Does this have Bluetooth?
No, but you can buy Bluetooth adapter or get a motherboard with Bluetooth
