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
Awesome board for the price :)

I havent built a PC for many years, but when the new AMD Ryzens were released, I thought the time was right. I looked at all of the available boards, and decided to go for an X570 to give me the most up to date options for upgrades and overclocking. Of all of the X570 boards, I chose this one as it has inbuilt wifi, M2 heat sink and above all, very reasonably priced. I can honestly say, the board has not disappointed in the slightest. The inbuilt wifi is dual band, and is strong enough to connect without the antennas attached (although they are attached) and it connects at full speed to my 200 mbps wifi. The USB is up to date, with lots of options. The nice feature is the BIOS flash update can update the bios directly from a USB without any OS or going into the BIOS.I can honestly say I am delighted with the motherboard really easy to use / install, lots of up to date features including the fastest M2 drive options too and I would recommend this to anyone.
Excellent Motherboard, packed with everything you need

Decided to upgrade my PC after a five year period... From years of having relied upon Intel Processors I chose to take the plunge and go for the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X which of course meant that I would have to choose a new MotherboardAfter weeks of searching both written reviews and those on YouTube I decided to go for this; the MSI MPG x570 Gaming Edge and after a few days of having it intalled in my rig I can safely say that I'm not disappointed by any means!!Firstly installation; Couldnt have been easier with the case that I chose to use, all pin connectors were laid out clearly without once having to refer back to the Manual that was provided... This of course saved time and effort on having to hunt around and worry about what goes where (Especially as this was only my second ever build!!) - Processor too was very straight forward in terms of installation and with no pins on the Mobo it meant there was no risk of damaging both CPU and Mobo at this stage!!Poweing up the system and BIOS instantly impressed, on my previous Mobo I had to go into the actual BIOS itself before I could boot the USB drive that had my Operating System on, for this product though there was no messing around with the computer instantly recognising and loading the appropriate softwareSince setting up the system I've only had to refer back to the BIOS the once, this was to slightly amend fan speed which was extremely simple to amend... Leaving me one very satisfied customer with MSI, the fact that this Mobo came with Wifi was another selling point for me, with only a handful of x570's on the market right now this is by far the cheapest to come with said feature, certainly saves messing around with extra adapters etc. whilst maintaining bandwidth speeds!!
