MSI MPG X570 GAMING EDGE WIFI Motherboard (AMD AM4, DDR4, PCIe 4.0, SATA 6Gb/s, M.2, USB 3.2 Gen 2, AC Wi-Fi 5, HDMI, ATX)

** Need to Flash update Bios with USB for Ryzen 3 series to work (at least for me and many others)I really like this MB as it allowed me to do everything that I needed from hardware to software needs. I changed from Intel CPU to AMD Ryzen 9 5950X (Got lucky and was able to buy one from Micro Center) and couldn't be more glad of my decision, mainly due to video editing and second for gaming. I was also a big fan of ASUS and EVGA MB's, and have always used those two manufactures for MB's since I started building my own PC's 16 years ago. But I wanted to change to this MSI MB this time and I have no regrets. Coming from ASUS and EVGA, I did not like the bios interface as much, but after couple of days you get used to it. I was very happy with the available options for Overclocking, but make sure to Update bios to latest version to get optimized settings for AMD Ryzen 3 series. I was able to OC my CPU to 3.6Ghz for base clock and was able to get two cores to get 5.0Ghz with the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X (See attached Pics). It could OC higher but that's all I needed. This was done with minimum changes and effort on my side as most of it was done by AMD optimization bios update. The performance difference was noticeable for my video editing processes coming from an Intel CPU and OC only helped it even more. If you are a gamer or video editor looking to upgrade to Ryzen 3 Series, I would highly recommend this motherboard.Pros: Beast of a motherboard for the money.Easy tuning.Very sturdy and PCIe for Graphic card is strong with shielding.Good RGB and fan connections *(all fan connections are on the bottom of CPU, may not working in favor for some of you)Easy OC bios feature with bios updateCons: Dragon Center was the only con for me - it was a pain to install Dragon center for any RGB changes or MB/hardware tuning. Had to do some work around to get it to work, but now it works fine. Not reducing a star for this because everything else about MSI hardware and software was awesome.Overall I would recommend this MB to anyone.

I purchased this board coming back from buying an ASUS X470F coming from an MSI Z77 platform. The board was an absolute nightmare to work with and had constant issues.I learned my lesson and have come back home to MSI. Great quality out of the box, board feels incredibly sturdy. IO is fantastic and the WIFI works absolutely phenomenally (completely saturating my 100MB/s connection). Header locations are great, plenty of chassis fan headers and i really appreciate them being located along the bottom of the board for cable management purposes. An absolute TON of sata ports, and the two USB connection locations really help. VRM heatsinks feel beefy and plenty adequate for overclocking, given reasonable airflow over them. Temps seem great.In contrast to ASUS, this MSI board works fantastically out of the box. No BIOS tweaking required, but even when I did update the BIOS the flashback feature made this a no brainer. No worries of bricked boards like other brands.The chipset fan is remarkably quiet too given its size. I had heard things about x570 fans being loud, but this is whisper quiet. Also I *REALLY* appreciate its intelligent location underneath the PCIE x16 slot rather than right against it like other brands.BIOS itself is a breeze to work with, and POST times are lightning fast in comparison to other brands. PCIE 4.0 is also incredible. Its actually so fast im not even sure what workload i can throw at it to make it sweat. NVME SSDs are a must have with this, and the board has a fantastic heatsink to compliment it.Speeds on my 3800x are great too. Hitting advertised boost out of the box which really REALLY surprised me.Really I cant say enough great things about this board, thanks MSI for reminding me what good quality is.

This is my first build (Done Oct. 2019) in 25+ years. As a retired senior I wanted an easy stable build that had good future proofing. I had this system assembled and booted in a few hours with a Ryzen 5-2600, 500GB SSD, Corsair Vengeance LPX (2X8) DDR4 3600 and RX 570-8GB for video.Power supply was a Corsair RM850 Gold. System booted first time with a clean install of Windows 10. I had seen possible WiFi problems from other posts so I ran a temp CAT 5 cable for all the updates (software and BIOS). I am not a big gamer however I did DL the last 2 Tomb Raider games (played some years ago) and found this system handled them easily with video setting on MAX. I did have sound stop after a windows update however I quick check on the MSI site showed newer sound drivers. I updated the drives and sound works great again. It has been a solid build and trouble free for the past 6 months. I should add that I don't care about OC or RGB lighting. I wanted a system to edit B-Ray videos from my Canon camera along with normal Office,Web and light gaming use.EDIT 7/30/21System has been rock steady since the build. No errors, lockups or reboots have been needed. I will say that I did not get the Bluetooth working but I don't need it and did not spend much time looking into it. All in all it have been a stable motherboard which is what I wanted.
