    Great review Mike, thanks for taking the time to make it. Looks like a great board, just wish more of them had a BIOS flashback button (as well as a blacked out IO shield lol). Thats a good warehouse deal find but even at full price I think this is a great board. Aye its got brown tracers but once its in the case Im sure it would be difficult to notice. Fingers crossed that the markets start to stabalise soon so we can actually put some components in these lol. Cheers dude, be seeing YOU in the next one :-)

    I got it last year after noticing it's basically a cheaper, more boring-looking B450 Tomahawk Max. Paired it with a 1600AF, RX570 8GB and 16GB of DDR4 3200mhz and all worked well out of the box and even managed to push the CPU to 3.8ghz at 1.3V with a custom tower cooler. I've never seen the VRM temp go over 67C even on hot summer days during OCCT which is amazing. I'm very happy with it overall, tho it has one big flaw which is the on-board audio. I have some 24 Ohm Sony headphones and they simply don't get loud enough for my liking. Looking to buy a USB or PCI-E sound card simply because of that. This won't be a problem for lower impedance headphones as my other smaller headphones all get loud enough. Very solid board for the price and the lack of RGB stuff is actually a bonus for me as I prefer the sleeper look.

    Juuuust in case someone has this board and wants to boost the system with a 5800x3D: I have it (+ 6700XT GPU) and it works flawlessly with the latest bios version. Yes the VRM is fairly budget but its really good for what it is and if I run a stresstest on all 8 cores the "system" (HW monitor) still stays cool at around 40°C maximum (if thats the correct one to look at, the rest is even cooler). But I gotta say my old big tower has a very good air flow. For gaming its totally fine anyways, since only 1-2 cores are used in probably 99,99% of all games. My 2x8GB RAMs run at 3600mhz on XMP profile 1 without any issues whatsoever.
    So it works perfectly fine with the 5800x3D. If there was a significant performance boost from pcie3 (b450) to pcie4 (b550) I would switch to a b550 board, but since there isnt, I stick to this very stable and durable budget board 😉

It's an amazing board that also permitted me this year to upgrade from a Ryzen 5 1600 to a Ryzen 9 5900 without any problems, buying it a whole new life and saving me from buying a new system.

    I think it's great for a budget build. I wanted to get started with AM4, got it used for cheap with 1600AF and 2x8gb RAM 3200, all still on warranty. Later I can upgrade to 5600 when it gets even cheaper and B550 with PCIe 4 and better audio, LAN and RGB header. Out of all brands, B450's from MSI have the best VRM temps. Higher models of B450 from MSI, Gaming Max and Tomahawk don't offer anything more than A Pro, apart from better looks. They are still PCIe 4, still budget audio and LAN, still no 5V RGB. In 2022, because of its low price, A Pro is the only B450 that makes sense.

    I hope that helps people who want to try a set up with similar builds: I decided to upgrade my over 10 year old system with this board, a ryzen 5 5600g CPU(+ onboard GPU) and suitable DDR4 RAMs. Since it wouldnt identify the CPU out of the box it needed to be updated. So I flashed it with an old USB 2.0 stick formated in FAT32 with the newest 7B86vMF bios update (no beta). It worked out perfectly, I just had to change some basic settings in the bios for it to start windows.
    The only thing is that the RAMs are downgraded to 2667 MHZ instead of 3600MHZ (I think the board only supports up to 3200, not 100% sure tho). I wonder what setting I could try to make it work at 3200MHZ since it doesnt run stabily under 3D conditions with the settings I tried..All in all its a great and fairly cheap upgrade for me and I can still buy a better graphics card in the future when I need to.

    It's December 2023 and I was looking for a faster second video editing system with pretty much the same software configuration as my current 2016 system running Windows 7. This answers right away my choice for this MSI B450 board as it is one of the few boards still for sale that supports Windows 7 (MSI still has W7 drivers for it available for download). I picked up a new board for just over 60 euros, along with a 2nd hand Ryzen 7, 2700x processor and a GTX-1070. It may not sound very fast these days, but it is a good deal faster than my current system, which is a MSI 17OA PC MATE with an i5-6400 and a GT-730. So in cases such as these, the B450 is still worth it, even in 2023 and I plan to use it for several more years to come.
