Customer Ratings & Reviews

I did a lot of research before I decided on purchasing the MSI MPG X570 Gaming Edge motherboard. I was on a budget but I didn't want to be too cheap and then I came across this fairly priced motherboard. If you want a short answer this is a really good motherboard with some great features and benefits and can not be beat for the price. One of the things that I really appreciated about this motherboard is the preinstalled IO Shield it made installation a breeze and is a great for first time pc builders. The motherboard features wifi and bluetooth which is great for the price. I wish it was Wifi 6 but regardless its nice to even have wifi.It does have some RGB feature on which is minimal but honestly I didn't mind at all. RAM was interesting situation the initial speed was around 2200 MHz but when I messed around with it and enabled XMP my corsair 3200 MHz was working perfectly fine. One thing I did not enjoy was the location of the fan headers, they are near the bottom and may be awkward for some or difficult to reach. Lets break down some of the pros and cons PRO -Pre installed IO Shield -WIFI Bluetooth -USB C -BIOS updating -Quiet motherboard -PCIe 4.0 almost all slots with Ryzen 3rd Gen 3600 and above CON -IO Shield is lackluster -Fan headers placement -Slight RAM issues (just takes a little of messing around to fix it) - No WIFI 6 -Chipset Fan (sigh) Conclusion- The MSI X570 Gaming Edge is a great Mid Range motherboard with some great features and a competitive price. Most of the issues that I have encountered have resolutions that just take some time. The motherboard just like most MSI products is a great combination of quality and value. I recommend this motherboard especially with the 3rd Gen Ryzen in particular anything above the 3600.

This review is for the MSI MPG X570 Gaming Edge WiFi AMD AM4 motherboard. My review of this board is with the following attached components installed in a Mid Tower 17 X 17.5 X 7.5 inch case with the PS on the bottom. I mention this because with the large VRM heat sinks I had to move the AIO radiator installed in the top of the case, all the way to the edge to get it as far away from the board as possible just so the fans will clear the VRM heat sink and the top of the RAM heat spreaders. The top of the heat spreaders on my RAM sit 1 and 3/8 inches above the top of the RAM slot. So if your case is similar to my sized case and you use liquid cooling, it will be nip and tuck if you want to keep the fans inside the case. See pictures of the install. You will see that the upper VRM heatsink is under the AIO fans and the fan just clears the RAM . Power Supply-750 Watt CPU----------AMD Ryzen 3700x Cooling------240 mm AIO liquid GPU----------RTX 2080 Super RAM----------32 GB DDR4 3200 16-18-18-36 Windows 10 --1 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD Storage------512 GB PCIe 3.0 NVMe M.2, 2 X 1 TB 2.5 in SSD, 3 X 2 TB 3.5 in HDD, one 4 TB HDD and 3 USB 3.0 HDDs I had no luck with any kind of beneficial overclocking of the Ryzen 3700X or the RAM, which seems to be the normal experience with most who try. I choose not to loosen RAM timings to be able to overclock the RAM, I'm sure the RAM could have been pushed, but it did not make sense for me. By setting the strongest of the three prefigured overclock profiles in the BIOS I was able to increase consistent all core Boost performance to a constant 4.2 Ghz vs the + or - 4.0 it ran at default BIOS settings. I did get it to run at 4.3 under sustained boost for awhile, but it crashed immediately when I tried to go higher. I think that AMD has cranked about all you can get out of it so far as amateur overclockers like myself are concerned. I didn't really put a lot of effort into it as a couple of tenths was not going to make any difference that justified the occasional crash. I have tested it under stress for long periods using Furmark’s CPU stress test, which taxes the system more than Prime 95 does. It does reach the advertised 4.4 ghz boost under varying load, but at full 100 percent on all cores it will settle in at about 4.24 ghz. Let’s go to the chipset and M.2 cooling fan. No worries. I have mine set to run at 1300 RPM all the time. That way the chipset will not get hot and it is quiet at that speed. Under the most stringent use transferring files, HWMonitor shows the System temp at 36degrees C , the chipset at 48 degrees, MOS at 40 degrees, PCIe at 33 degrees and the 4.0 M.2 at 32 degrees. I have three fans pushing air into the case and three exhausting air. So I think with the good airflow I have, it is staying at a safe temperature. The board was easy to setup. After enabling A XMP in the BIOS it set my DDR4 3200 RAM at the proper speed and timings. I loved the fan control in the BIOS. You can set fan speed curves, full speed, do anything you want to either fan individually or all the fans together. You can choose the component board sensor for each fan that it is tied to. I found it much better than the iCue fan software that came with my AIO liquid cooler. It has a CPU, Pump and four system fan PWM connectors. What it does lack is enough USB 2.0 on board headers. I need two for my case and one for the AIO liquid heat sink, so I had to get a USB 2.0 splitter, which I have shown in one of the pictures. The board has both a USB 3.0 and 3.2 connector for external case connections. I am using 2 16 GB sticks of RAM. so I can't comment on if it plays well with all the slots filled. It has the RGB headers for those of you who have lit cases and components. I didn't mess with them as my PC sits in a ventilated enclosure in my desk so no body sees it. The board is a good looking board. The built in I/O cover fit properly. So far for my use, which is media editing heavy I am really happy. It may not be the best overclocking board, or maybe my 65 watt 3700X just doesn't have a lot of overhead to overclock. I bought it mainly because I need the fast file transfer speed that PCIe 4.0 provides. Need to note that only the one M.2 slot is 4.0 the other is 3.0. I bought a 1 TB 4.0 M.2 for the system and partitioned 250 GB for the system and use the rest as a working drive to load from and save to with Photoshop. I am getting 5500 MB/sec read speeds vs 3300 MB/sec read speeds with my Samsung PCIe 3.0 970 M.2. The system is unbelievably faster than I expected. PCIe 4.0 is going to be a major player in the next jump in PC performance. I suggest that you take advantage of this fast PCIe Bus and put a PCIe 4.0 SSD on it. Also when GPus start oversaturating the 3.0 PCIe bus capability, you will be able to benefit from those fast GPUs. There have been some complaints about the WiFi, but I updated the BIOS before I installed Windows and it has worked just fine. Even from my garage where my workbench is. Also it isn't the quickest to post, but that could be because of it having to enumerate all the drives that I have attached. So I think this is a good 200 dollar board for those who need WiFi and Bluetooth and buy the CPU and DDR4 speed RAM that they need and just let the board make it all work together with no fuss or worry about overclocking.

I built my first pc, waiting for the new AMD Ryzen Zen 2 processors. I picked up the Ryzen 5 3600 for my first build along with the MSI X570 Gaming Edge. The motherboard has great features for this low of a price-point especially among the other X570 boards. If you want to save some few-extra bucks for a better gpu/cpu or other parts, I highly recommend the MSI X570 Gaming Edge! Many benefits for the MSI X570 Gaming Edge include the preinstalled IO Shield making installation a breeze and saving a little time and is a great for first time pc builders. The motherboard has Wifi and Bluetooth which is great for the price. It has minimal RGB features which is fine since I have other RGB. You have to go to BIOS to set your RAM to the frequency which you bought it at since the motherboard sets it lower. One thing that may be difficult for other users are the location of the fan headers which are on the bottom of the motherboard and may be hard for others to reach. Other pros/cons listed below. PRO - Pre installed IO Shield (Don't have to struggle like previous generations of boards) - Wifi & Bluetooth (Saves you time, money and worriment rather than getting a third party USB for either Wifi or Bluetooth that you may not know a lot about) - Has BIOS flashback for future updates - RGB is minimal, but is what you get for at this pricepoint - Overclocking is easy, especially for a first time pc- builder like me. - 2 M.2 slots. - Many SATA ports CON - Heat sink is a tight fit for my case (NZXT H500) since its right next to the fans. - Fan headers placement could be a little better since they are all on bottom, but for me it wasn't too bad since my fans (Corsair LL120) had long cables. - Need to go into BIOS to set RAM to desired speed which you bought since the BIOS sets it to a lower frequency. I recommend pairing this board with a AMD Ryzen Zen 2 (third gen) processor due to the ease of installing the board with easy overclocking for first-time builders since this is probably the best motherboard you can get around this price point for the features and ease of use.

I bought a bunch of components from BestBuy to build a gaming PC. For motherboard my first choice was Asus TUF X570 Plus - WIFI because it had more reviews. Unfortunately microphone on that board had so many problems where I was getting tons of noise. I had upgraded BIOS, tried multiple mics including USB and wireless but same problem. BestBuy was quick to offer a replacement board but the 2nd board had the same problem. I then tried this MSI mb and it worked perfect! No audio issues and frankly I liked the BIOS and MSI Dragon Center better than what Asus had. Overall this board looks great, worked as expected. RGB on the board is on the back which is so weird. Wonder if they put it there where case has glass on both sides. Other than that it seems to work fine. I saw some reviews about running it hot but it seems to run fine for me. I have Ryzen 7 3700 and RTX 2060 and it working well. Best Buy was simply the best in this whole process. I compared the prices of Best Buy (for this mb and other components) with all other major players on the web and Best Buy had the best prices. I rarely write reviews, but Best Buy did such an awesome job that I had to write this review. Folks at GeekSquad also did an awesome job in hearing the issue and help make different suggestions.

I upgraded from a b450 so this was a nice upgrade. The WiFi is built into the board so you don’t need an adapter. I’m currently running a 3700x but will be swapping to a 5800x soon. The board has some built in RGB which is nice if you like that kind of thing. It has a cpu header, pump header and 4 additional fan headers. It also has rgb controllers built into the board if you don’t have an external rgb control. It is a little lacking on usb connectors at the back panel. It does have a usb c connector however. Built in heat sinks and a fan for cooling. There are also 6 sata connections. Has an 8 pin and additional 4 pin power connector for overclocking. This was the first time I swapped a board. Everything went smooth. The EZ debug LED’s make it easy if you have any issues. I had a boot error which made troubleshooting easy for the first post. I just had to plug in only my drive with the OS and then plug in the rest after. Comes with a CD for the software needed after installation. The MSI BIOS was a little confusing at first but when you figure out where everything is it is good. Also easy to update the BIOS with a usb and the board has a BIOS flash button. I got it on sale. Happy with the quality and price.

Very easy to use BIOS. It’s more user friendly than any of the other motherboards I’ve used. My only gripe was not enough fan headers. But I can’t knock it for that as this is a B550 not a X570 so some features are limited. If you’re a first time builder this is the perfect motherboard for you.

Disappointed by the really poor onboard WIFI. Other than that, the board works with my Ryzen 9 5900X with a BIOS Flash and had all the necessary features to accept GEN4 components and features. Would not buy this expensive WIFI Version.

Love the board. Wifi works great. Though I have not attempted to move very far from the router yet. So I am unable to comment on full range of connection. Make sure you double check any other component requirements in your system when buying this. (ie. PSU, case size etc...) You will need a 750watt or higher PSU. To fully power the board. See specifics in manual or youtube a quide video for it. All in all great buy and value!

Perfect combination of features. Wifi, RGB Support yet at a minimalist approach. Full support of 2XXX and 3XXX Ryzen chips. CPU: Ryzen 3700x RAM: Corsair 2x16 3200. Model: CMW32GX4M2C3200C16 GPU: MSI RX580 8GB Model: R580AR28C Out of the box, connected everything, immediately went to BIOS and turned on A-XMP to get the RAM at 3200, Rebooted and the RAM was at 3200! RGB thoughts: I am not big on RGB, so I like how the board has a simple "Ground effect" RGB that comes from under the board (See the white light in Picture 2). Everything worked together perfectly, and the only hitch I had, was I accidentally set my Windows account to standard and not administrator. This caused most of the MSI programs to not work, and sound to be... off. PRO's: Easy to set-up at best XMP settings. Overclock utilities work well. This board does have a second CPU power plug for extreme overclocking if that is one's desire. Heat spreader for the M2 SSD. CON: If you aren't logged into an administrator account in windows, sound will have static and other issues. Note: I used a PCI-e riser cable to mount the GPU away from the MB and keep it's heat separate!

Good motherboard for using high-end Ryzen processors. Bios was simple to navigate and update. I had no issues setting it up with a Ryzen 9 5900x. It has plenty of connections for fans and rgb. Only issue I ran into was with the Bluetooth. I had issues where it would sometimes randomly disconnect. Usually resetting the system helped resolve this.

MSI MPG X570 Gaming Edge WiFi, hooked up and started up at first, but wouldn’t start, so I took 2 of the 4 memory stick out and Downloaded and updated the BIOS , and put in the other 2 memory stick then rebooted and now I got the 32 Gigs of memory. WiFi works excellent. Downloaded DRAGON to operate the RPG.

It great, easy to use and it looks very neat. As a newbie I did not have trouble installing the drivers and the manual had detailed instructions on how to connect everything into the motherboard. I chose the Ryzen 7 3700x and so far I have not had any problems, temperatures are great.

This board has everything you need to build a medium to high end gaming PC. The board comes loaded with Bios and drivers from APR 2020. MSI support released newer versions of BIOS and Drivers on JUL 2020. Board has a M-Flash port that makes this very easy to update. Overall this board is awesome!

Good motherboard overall. Has everything you expect it to have and it even has a chipset fan which is nice if the main SSD you’re using starts to heat up. It only has 5 fan headers, but a splitter cable takes care of that no problem, otherwise it’s a good value for a motherboard. Case is the Corsair 4000D Airflow for reference in the photo.

Works great for my system, only thing is my fans are 3 pin but have the double end pig tail that connects to the power supply. Running cpu: Ryzen 7 3700x, 16gx dual 36000 mhz sticks, 1tb m2, 1 tb 2.5 ssd, gpu: gtx 1070, 600w power supply. I get over 100 fps easy in Warzone! Bought it on sale black Friday.

Very nice motherboard. Plays nicely with my Ryzen 7 2700X and 24GB of Dominator Platinum at 3200mhz. Had to enable the overclock profile for the ram but it's not had any issues keeping it at the rated speeds. My last motherboard would just reboot randomly on an overclock profile. The instant overclock button is also a nice addition in the bios, and works well from my testing. Have had it on now since i bought it and hadn't ran into any stability issues. Built in wifi is really nice, removed the adapter from my PC after installing this. It also has bluetooth which is nice, by unfortunately my phone won't connect to it for some reason. My phone just disconnects immediately after connecting. RGB lighting is "okay". not super bright and doesn't really show great in my Corsair Crystal 460X.

It has been a while since I used MSI, was Asus forever. Liked the design of this board, and it actually has a unique notch that allow you to fit SATA connections, without them getting smashed by a huge video card. And you don't have to bend and twist the SATA connections. Has a on board fan which I have not seen in a long time on boards, but it only functions when it is needed. Mine comes on about 800 RPM after gaming BO4, etc, and stays on all game. Then stays off with everything else. The only thing I would take a star away for is the lack of USB headers, not that uncommon, and the wimpy light you can barely see on the board top right by memory. I tried to show it, it is a mystic light bar.

This mother board has everything you need to run a 2080 super. The board supports up to DDR4 4400hz and makes an easy installation with the fixed IO shield.

This is a great fully featured X570 motherboard. Been using for over a year now with 0 issues! 7 5800x with a 3080ti! All from bestbuy!

Good product, has never failed me yet. It runs and does everything I ask it to. Only complaint is that, wish there was more rgb.
