I recently built a new tower due to my existing tower was 13 years old. I was a little out of touch with PC components seeing as i have had no need to research over the last 13 years. After doing some research i decided that i would go with AMD's new 12 core processor as i want to future proof the system, After browsing overclockers as it is my go to site for components i happened across the bundle they had for the 12 core AMD processor, this MSI board and 16gb of DDR4 3600mhz ram. I found the products very good price as the bundle and was happy to commit to this board due to having used MSI products in the past (mainly graphics cards). I did like the fact that the board has inbuilt WIFI which was a extra selling point to myself but i would not require need for the WIFI capacity at this moment in time due to being hardwired (but just future proofing again). I was very please with the board when it arrives packaged very nicely and secure as usual. I was also very pleased with various cables that were supplied with the product which is always a bonus to make sure you have extra cables at hand to build straight away. I really enjoyed overclocking my ram and CPU with the very easy to us bios, was as simple as a couple of clicks which in the past has been a pain manually setting up. Everything i plugged into the circuit board instantly was recognised and when i booted for the first time the board actually chose my existing hard drive from my old setup rather than the new M.2 drive i also purchased. Overall i am very happy with this board and would highly recommend this to anyone really, I'm using this for a high powered gaming rig with a 12 core AMD O/C to 4.3ghz (thanks to the easy overclocking on the bios), 32gb of vengeance 3600mhz ram and a 5700 O/C graphics card. I haven't found a problem with the the board as of yet.
Great board

I purchased this motherboard for my first ever build, as it included wi-fi and seemed like it would carry through the next several years of potential upgrades elsewhere. It was very easy to work with, well laid out, and has ample connectors. It is also very attractive - the shiny detailing looks great when I have all my RGB going! I had no problems whatsoever getting everything up and running, and would happily recommend this.
MSI - so far, the best brand for X570

i love this motherboard, msi has put a lot of thought into this. There is a big range of msi boards for the x570 chipset but this one has pretty much everything you needin the box - the motherboard (duh) - 2x sata cables - ARGB extension cable - wifi antennas - 2x m.2 screws - msi case sticker - sata cable labels - driver disk - user manuals and product reg Famous youtube tech star Buildzoid himself says he would take msi over most brands in the x570 range check out his reviews on Gamers Nexus youtube channel, his videos go in deep detail into most boards, he is the reason i chose this board in particular as he outlined that, it has all of the features of boards in the 250 ish price range and for my build (gaming), way overkill, ive build using a ryzen 5 3600 and an rtx2070 , this board can handle way more than this, all the way up to the r7 3900x so the upgrade path is crazy, ill only be using one m.2 slot for now, the wifi is a godsend as i dont have a wired network in the office, im running trident z royal 3600mhz but has support for all the way up to 4400 mhzi had had a hard time choosing between this and the TUF gaming plus but in the end the looks won me over, the yellow of the tuf didn't sit with mewhat i would say to msi is (even though they can handle higher end cpus) to use better VRM to run more efficiently, but the heatsink controls them fine and like i say, more than what i need. i was worried about the chipset fan but what i didnt know is it turns off under low load but is slightly audible when blasting it, its also used for the 1st m.2 slotonboard wifi isn't wifi6 but 90% of users probably don't have a router capable of this anyway and people that do need 100s of mbps to truly use it overall, i'm very happy with my purchase A** for MSI
