MSI B450M PRO-M2 MAX mATX Motherboard with MSI MPG CORELIQUID K240 CPU AIO Cooler '240mm Radiator, 2.4'' LCD Waterblock with built-in TORX 3.0 fan, 2x 120mm TORX 4.0 ARGB PWM Fan, MSI Center'

Great motherboard supporting 3 3200g out of the box with easy to configure bios settings and fully working XMP profile.M.2 slot, good spacing between PCIE 16x and 1x slots, allowing a bigger graphics card and my WiFi card to be used at the same time.Great performing board at a great price.

Hi,I found that this motherboard was both very high quality and very easy to install. It also allowed for very easy installation of all components and nearly no effort was given for installing this motherboard. It is very stable and all necessary components are running at maximum performance. The motherboard also comes with an M.2 SSD slot for even further storage which I find extremely useful.In general, I think that this motherboard is very affordable and very high quality. I would definitely recommend this to others wishing to build micro-ATX builds.

I liked the mATX size and the thickness of the board is quite sturdy. Components look good too.Price was very competitive.I personally bought this board not only for Ryzen 3rd gen compatibility should I upgrade processor but also for the M2 slot for NVMe SSD.I needed the fact that there was another expansion slot quite lower than the graphics card slot on the board for my Bluetooth and wireless card as my graphics card is quite deep with its cooler.Some boards only have one slot very close to the Graphics card slot.Main dislike is only one System fan header for my case for the 3 case fans. Speed I control from the BIOS and not software.If kept cool enough performs well. I use the XMP x2 in BIOS to boost my memory to 3200 speed, which is my memories max.So far no issues. Good board for the price which does not break the bank.

Bought on behalf of my grandson who was building his own computer for gaming,he was happy with all the parts he asked my to send for.

Well, it all works fine thus far but I will hold off on the full review until I have used my new system for a bit as all the components for the new build will be tied together. Delivery was spot on as it usually is with Amazon. There are rare occasions but as I have said they are rare.******UPDATED JANUARY 2022*****So far so have build three systems with this particular motherboard and all have worked first time and are all still working perfectly. I personally think that it's a great board for the price.

When I got and put cpu in the board did not see noting on screen so I phoned the seller and they told me it needs bios update cost me more money to get it done but all going good after it was done

Don't know why Amazon are asking about 'thickness' or 'sheerness' when seeking a review but just for clarity, I don't think I'm particularly thick and I've never been to Sheerness. More relevantly, perhaps, this motherboard was used by me to build a modest media PC, with Ryzen 3 1200 cpu 8 GB DDR4 3000 ram a gtx 750ti GPU and a Crucial 500MX 500 GB SSD. Powered by a BeQuiet TFX 300 Watt PSU in an Antec SFF case feeding a 32" TV. Installation was straightforward and everything works as hoped.

I always use MSI motherboards with AMD processors because they are the most compatible. I had an MSI motherboard that lasted 15 years. The B450M model provides a slot for an NVMe card storage drive, which is hugely superior to standard mechanical hard disk drive. I use a 256GB WD model that cost me £50. It has 200GB of storage space left after installing Windows 10 and all of my programs. If I were you, I would use the crucial.com site's memory selectors to choose and buy memory that is guaranteed to work with a particular motherboard or you get your money back.

Most reliable and powerful mobo's on the market. I use them for all my rebuilds. Like 90% of us rebuilders, I am not a gamer so I really don't give a damn about their gaming performance but they make a hell of a desktop replacement. Good product and a good company with a great reputation.

Used for gaming

La qualità costruttiva è molto buona. Dissento leggermente da alcune recensioni circa l'assenza dei dissipatori sui VRM. Non è detto che una scheda che li monta sia per forza migliore. La sezione VRM è composta da un determinato numero di transistor, induttori e condensatori. Se i transistor e gli induttori sono dimensionati per erogare 50Ampere a fronte di una CPU che al massimo assorbe 30Ampere possono essere benissimo lavorare senza dissipazione. Al contrario un VRM da 35A per una CPU da 30A lavora quasi al massimo e probabilmente necessiterà di una dissipazione aggiuntiva. Inoltre se le specifiche del produttore dei transitor utilizzati in un determinato VRM offre un determinato range di temperatura di lavoro e il produttore della scheda madre si attiene a questo range, dove è il problema? Ovviamente a parità di VRM è meglio uno dissipato, ma non ci è dato sapere quanti Ampere è in grado di erogare questa MSI rispetto ad una ASROCK B50m Pro4. Questa la teoria. Passiamo alla pratica. Su questa scheda ho provato un Ryzen 7 1700X un Ryzen 5 2600 e un Ryzen 3 2200G tutti pesantemente overcloccati. Non ho riscontrato nessun problema di instabilità. Però ho utilizzato cpu cooler orizzontali che hanno il flusso d'aria indirizzato dall'alto verso il basso. Quindi i VRM sono investiti direttamente dal flusso d'aria. Se invece utilizzate dissipatori verticali senza alette inferiori orientate verso il basso, i VRM saranno investiti da un flusso d'aria inferiore e in qualche caso insufficiente. Ad ogni modo il Ryzen 7 1700X l'ho provato anche un dissipatore verticale (2 heat pipe ed alette dritte), overcloccato a 3.6Ghz senza avere problemi. La funzione OC Genie (Overclock automatico) funziona molto bene e consente anche al neofita di "pompare" la propria cpu senza impazzire con i vari settaggi. Consiglierei l'acquisto? Si, ma se avete 5€ da spendere in più prendete la MSI MSI B450M PRO-VDH MAX B450 che offre tra le altre cose, 4 banchi DDR4 invece che 2, VRM dissipati e heatsink del chip set più grande, 2 porte SATA verticali e 2 orizzontali (cable management facilitato) e slot PCIE 16X rinforzato in metallo

En un tamaño muy compacto, esta placa base incorpora todas las conexiones necesarias para un equipo doméstico o profesional incluso con necesidades de gama alta.- Diseño: Destaca por su sobriedad en cuanto al diseño ya que pertenece a la gama Pro Series de MSI, así que no vais a encontrar nada relacionado con la estética gamer a excepción de un adhesivo con el escudo de MSI que se incluye en la caja. En la propia placa, nada de rótulos llamativos ni leds de colores ni grandes placas de aluminio propias de otras gamas o marcas más orientadas al mercado gamer.- Rendimiento: Sin embargo, la sobriedad confirma un funcionamiento excepcional con un procesador Ryzen de la serie 3, concretamente el Ryzen 3 3200G que realmente és una APU, es decir, que incluye la gráfica en la propia CPU. Por supuesto, no hace falta actualizar la BIOS ya que viene actualizada de fábrica. El rendimiento es superior a otras placas con mismo chipset como por ejemplo la Asus TUF B450m Gaming Plus o la Gigabyte B450 Aorus M. Disipa el calor sensiblemente mejor que las otras placas mencionadas, aún sin incorporar vistosos disipadores. En el equipo montado he incluido un disco M2 Nvme Samsung 970EVO que simplemente vuela en comparación los SSD normales y queda a años luz de los discos mecánicos. Ningún problema de compatibilidad en este aspecto. El equipo monta también dos módulos DDR4 de 8 GB funcionando en dual channel a 3000 Mhz. Funcionando también a la primera sin problemas de ningún tipo.- Conexiones: No cuenta con un exceso de conexiones, pero son suficientes para montar equipos muy potentes. Una de las limitaciones a tener en cuenta es que incluye solamente 2 ranuras para memoria RAM y no cuenta con conexión para iluminación RGB (únicamente incluye un conector JLED de 12 V y 4 pines que solo puede manejar un color). Por lo demás, 4 conectores SATA, USB internos y externos, así como las conexiontes típicas en la trasera. Por supuesto, tiene conector PCIe para gráficas externas o cualquier otro dispositivo con este tipo de conector.- Overclocking: La BIOS permite numerosas configuraciones para aumentar el rendimiento del procesador, la gráfica y la memoria, así como multitud de parámetros para ajustes finos. El OC Genie funciona muy bien si quieres un overclock moderado y seguro, pero puedes retocar todos los parámetros a mano si tienes conocimientos para ello. También puedes gestionar desde la BIOS el sistema de ventilación, aunque mediante la aplicación Dragon Center de MSI puedes configurar lo mismo sin salir de Windows.- Temperatura: Es muy buena esta placa en cuanto a la disipación del calor, aunque si tu caja lo permite, siempre es recomendable un disipador de CPU (el de la foto es un Artic Freezer 33 eSports One comprado por unos 22 €). Con este disipador, los ventiladores estan prácticamente siempre al mínimo y no se oye nada.En general, la mejor opción para un Ryzen serie 3000 para equipos de gama media e incluso alta. El único incoveniente es que no incluye conexión para sistemas RGB, pero es algo muy accesorio que influye exclusivamente en la parte estética del equipo. En cuanto a rendimiento y estabilidad no tiene rival.
