High Quality board from a well respected manufacturer
I purchased the B450 Gaming Plus ATX motherboard for my recent budget build. The motherboard came is an attractive and secure box with all the hardware required for installation. Note that I purchased the ATX version so I did not have any issues with CPU cooler installation like others have stated with the mAtx boards. As you can see in the pictures, I have a fairly large cooler attached to the board without issue or interference from neighboring components (Ignore the cable routing, was not done routing when this picture was taken).This board states it is compatible with Ryzen 3 series CPU's out of the box, I can verify this as my Ryzen 5 3600 booted up without issue and no driver updates were needed. The locations for the ports on the board are fairly well thought out, the only thing I would like to see is more fan headers but luckily my cooling fans also had a plug to directly wire to the power supply. Downside to this is you lose fan control but that is not an issue for me as my fans are static rpm.Cons:The bios boot time for this board is extremely slow. I would guess about 10-15 seconds for the board to post and boot the computer. While not a deal breaker it is definitely an annoyance. Good news is that MSI has addressed this and released an updated firmware that resolves this issue.I would recommend this motherboard for budget builds or PC builders that do not care for all the flashy RGB and RGB controller components. This has been installed for over three months of daily use and I have not had one issue with this motherboard.You will notice in the pictures there is an RTX 2060 GPU, unfortunately two weeks after purchase this card was freezing and failing. I made the switch to a RX 5700 and do not regret that decision one bit. The RX 5700 is much more stable, costs less and benchmarks up there with the RTX 2070.----------------------------------------List of parts I ordered for my budget buildThermaltake SMART 600W ATX 12V Power Supplyhttps://amzn.to/36jPrOCXFX Rx 5700 8GB GDDR6 Graphics Cardhttps://amzn.to/30LxiYCCrucial Ballistix Sport LT 3200 MHz DDR4 DRAMhttps://amzn.to/2Ge3YALWD Blue 1TB PC Hard Drive - 7200 RPMhttps://amzn.to/30Y4BYRADATA SU760 512GB 3D NAND 2.5 Inch SATA III Internal SSDhttps://amzn.to/2NSIb5Ouphere 3-Pack Long Life Computer Case Fan 120mmhttps://amzn.to/2NVwafTCougar MX330 Mid Tower Case with Full Acrylic Transparent Windowhttps://amzn.to/38vr81BB450 Gaming Plus Max Motherboardhttps://amzn.to/2sSyblRAMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core CPUhttps://amzn.to/30PlKnuupHere CCF150RD High Performance CPU Air Coolerhttps://amzn.to/2Gf5Mta

5.0 out of 5 stars MSI is an amazing Quality at an Affordable price worth every penny.
Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2019
I recently purchased the MSI B450 Gaming plus max Motherboard for my custom gameing pc build. I am very new to building and only going off of experience from highschool classes I did alott of research. Not only does MSI offer some of the most affordable MOBO's but they do so with all the bells and whistles you could ever want. This motherboard not only looks amazing in my system but it has so many features that I didnt even know existed until I plugged it all in. There's a setting in the bios where you can move your mouse over a virtual picture of the motherboard and it tells you exactly what's installed into the motherboard and what it is. The bios settings are very easy to get into and also very easy to use even for a beginner. The how to videos related to the MSI products are also super helpful and easy to find. I would definitely suggest giving these motherboards a chance if your a beginner or novice. Everything is labeled perfectly and explained on the motherboard. The cpu backplate was easily removed when I upgraded from my standard cpu cooler to a Aio cooler. The motherboard also has an onboard led debug system to help you identify problems. From start to finish this motherboard looks amazing and handles even better. I will definitely purchase another MSI motherboard in the near future for my next build. A school/gaming computer for my wife.
