This motherboard delivers solid performance and reliability for both gaming and productivity. With support for the latest AMD Ryzen processors, it’s built for speed and power. The build quality feels premium, and the BIOS is user-friendly, making setup a breeze even for less experienced builders.

After the wiring went bad on my last motherboard, this one was needed fast to continue work. I bought it in person and installed it the day of and it has be phenomenal since. I can't recommend this enough for someone looking for a power packing motherboard that isn't going to break the bank.

For users seeking a feature-rich motherboard with modern connectivity options and strong thermal performance, the MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI is a solid choice. While there are some reported issues, they appear to be isolated, and with proper driver and BIOS updates, the motherboard delivers excellent value for its price point.

This is by far the best B550 board I have ever used. Lots of well-placed headers, plenty of USB ports, and runs nice and cool. The MSI BIOS is one of the more intuitive options out there also. The only negative I found is the wifi antennas are pretty weak, but a $10 after-market part solved that easily.

Solid board once you update the BIOS, was having USB disconnections every 10-156 minutes, the whole bus would just restart disconnecting anything plugged into a USB port, quickly found the BIOS update would resolve this issue and it did, really easy to flash the BIOS with a thumb drive and it's been stable and great ever since.

The board had a couple hitches when I first tried to fire it up, but it worked fine after I reset the power. Not sure why this happened. I've been using this board for a couple weeks now and I have not had any issues. I've been able to manually ramp up the memory speeds without any issues.
The BIOS version that came on this board supports newer processors like the 5800x3d and the 5700x out of the box. I didn't have to go through the hassle of flashing the BIOS to run it with the 5700x I had bought. Not like that would have mattered anyway because this board is supposed to have the USB BIOS Flashback feature that allows the user to Flash the BIOS without a CPU, but I didn't try using that feature. This might come in handy in case AMD decides to release a few more AM4 processors..... which is rumored to happen.
The VRM cooling on this board is supposed to be good. So you should be able to push a 5950x and not worry about frying the board.
The only complaint I have is this board comes with a cheaper and older version of the Realtek Audio Codec. It's not much better than what came with my old Z77 Sabertooth board.
I'm running this board in an older Cooler Master CM690 case. With a Fuma CPU cooler, the 5700x stays ice cold and I've never seen it hit 60c while under load.

Pretty good board, lots of options for whatever case you choose. One point of mention, make sure you update the bios through flash drive or by using an older chip because I used a newer chip and it was a nightmare trying to find the right bios to flash for it to function properly, but after my own blunder it works well a few months later.

Great board for the price. I used it in a Ryzen 5800X build and everything went smoothly — setup was easy, BIOS is super user-friendly, and it runs cool and stable even under load. Built-in Wi-Fi 6E and 2.5G LAN are a huge plus.
Only small downside is there’s no USB-C header for the front of the case, but not a dealbreaker. Overall, solid performance, clean look, and packed with features. Would definitely buy again.

This is a good little motherboard. Not so expensive that it will break the bank either. It has 6 CPU fan slots which is great for keeping your case cool. It can handle up to 128 GB of RAM. It really is a bargain at the price point it's at.

Running a 5700X3D + 4070 SUPER on this and it’s been great. Setup was easy, BIOS update took like 2 minutes, and it runs cool and stable. Built-in Wi-Fi and 2.5G LAN are clutch. Only downside is one Gen4 M.2 slot, but that’s minor. Not flashy, just does the job really well. Would def recommend for an AM4 build.

Desperately needed to upgrade my motherboard as it was looooong since outdated and couldn't handle any of my graphically demanding games anymore, nor receive internet connection well. Now my pc runs MHW & Wilds amazingly without the graphics breaking. It also keeps up with streams amazingly.
