The only thing is the boot time it is slow even it predecessor the Tomahawk B450 boots quicker
the 7600x and Kingston FURY Beast EXPO RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 PC5-48000C36 6000MHz booted and on to instal from first post, I did update the bios after I installed the OS
The bios has enough features to enjoy pushing the system to it's OC max don't blame the board when
the cooling not up to the job of OC
This is a solid motherboard and will run a Ryzen 9 7950X if you wanted.
definitely recommend this board but I have had the B350, B450 and now this one.
Excellent board for price

worked with my 7800X 3D straight out the box, although there was a bios update on the MSI website last week that optimises performance with the 7800X 3D chip so if you go that route its definitely worth getting the bios update.
I am using corsair vengeance 6000mhz CL30 with no issues and would definitely recommend to stick to the tigheter cl30 timings if you can as it seems to be a sweet spot with the 6000mhz (above 6000 you read a lot of mixed reports online about it causing issues and there doesnt seem to be any real performance benefit)
annoying that motherboards wont give you a post number LED unless you buy a £500+ board these days with 50 useless features you have no real use for with that 1 or 2 things you would actually like. I got this board while it was on sale and can recommend it whole heartedly, in fairness I didnt even miss the led numbers this time as it posted first time (and it has the ezdebug led thing), but troubleshooting things in the past i always apprecaited the led numbers..
Board is aesthetically pleasing, performs great and has everything you would require without going crazy with little bells and whistles that you dont need for the most part
Extremely long post. Works fine though.

Works fine with TeamGroup 6000MHz C30 32GB (2x16GB) RAM and Ryzen 7900 CPU. Boot times quite long. I would expect newer iterations of bios to sort it out. You can also disable memory training on every boot to shorten the boot times. Some users reported instability but I haven't noticed it at the time of review. Using Negative PBO curve -10.
