msiMAG B650 Tomahawk WiFi Gaming Motherboard (AMD Ryzen 9000/8000/7000 Series Processors, AM5, DDR5, PCIe 4.0, M.2, SATA 6Gb/s, USB 3.2 Gen 2, HDMI/DP, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, 2.5Gbps LAN, ATX)

As someone who jumped back into PC building with a focus on heavy RGB and high-performance components, the MSI MPG B650 Edge WiFi Gaming Motherboard has been working strong. From the start, this motherboard has handled my extensive setup with ease, including over 10 RGB fans, internal screens, and other peripherals that demand a ton of power and ports.The port options on this board are outstanding. It has everything you could need plenty of USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, M.2 slots, and SATA 6Gb/s connections. These options made my build a breeze, and I had more than enough room for all my components, from SSDs to RGB headers. The PCIe 4.0 slot is great for future-proofing and ensures that I'm getting the best performance from my GPU.One of the best features has to be its ability to handle heavy loads of RGB. With so many fans and RGB elements in my build, I was worried about managing it all. Especially when it came to the board staying cool. The MSI MPG B650 didn’t even blink! The onboard RGB headers and software make customization a breeze, allowing me to sync everything seamlessly.Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 are the cherries on top, giving me ultra-fast wireless connectivity without a hitch. The DDR5 support means my system runs buttery smooth, and the AM5 socket has me set up perfectly for my AMD Ryzen 7000 Series processor.If you're into RGB-heavy builds and need a board that can keep up with high-performance setups, this motherboard delivers in every way. Highly recommend for builders who want serious performance without sacrificing aesthetics. No better value for your buck.

Very solid Motherboard, great build quality, good features, an overall tried and true classic.

I was looking for a board that wasn't insanely priced but still had the features I was looking for. My last 3 motherboards have been MSI so sticking to what I know, I shopped with them first. This board seems to be the perfect middle ground price/quality wise. I updated the BIOS before I did anything else. The boot times are still a tad bit long but from what I've read, theyre working on that and releasing updates pretty regularly. Tuning the ram also helped it boot a little faster for me. The spot where you plug the CPU cables in is a bit tricky to maneuver if your cables are stiff/thick, but I got it done. After that, every thing has been smooth as could be. There are so many features in the BIOS compared to the AM4 board I just came from. I'm not interested in PCIE5 right now so this board not having that wasn't a big deal. I got this paired up with a 7600x and 6800 xt. The built-in WiFi 6 and Bluetooth are just smooth operators. The bios has options to disable one or the other or both if you'd like. I only use the bluetooth myself. DDR 5 is a tad bit confusing compared to DDR 4 but theres a good amount of info out there on how to tune it; I'm learning. It also looks great. There is no rgb which is exactly what I like. Just solid black and white coloring, I'm a big fan of it. The IO shield is preinstalled and for once there are more USB slots than I can fill(so far). Safe to say, this is another MSI purchase that I am more than happy with and I will continue to come back to them in the future.

The board is fine (I think, maybe not. Still trying to figure it out). Their customer support is incompetent.I ran into trouble with my computer about 10 months after building it. It worked fine the whole time with no hardware issues until about a week ago. One night it worked fine, the next night, no boot. I tested my PSU with a multimeter and everything looked right so I email led MSI since motherboard would be the next thing to test.They were very unhelpful. I very directly asked if the debug lights would turn on if the board was good if all other components were removed—I was trying to narrow down the hardware issues to be the motherboard. They ignored my question for several messages in which I repeatedly asked before finally responding to it: the debug lights won’t turn on if no RAM is plugged in. It will act like there’s now power. That is a terrible design decision that makes it really hard to debug your problems without having duplicate hardware to swap in and out.They were also unable to follow links I sent them. They asked me what hardware I was using and so I listed everything out and included links to Amazon and then they asked, what RAM were you using? I responded with the same link as before and they say that my RAM is incompatible with our board. Try with one from the list we linked.I asked why it would work for 10 months without issue with incompatible RAM and they never attempted to answer that question.I went ahead and bought new RAM to test what they were saying since I wanted to upgrade my RAM anyway and it still does not work!Perhaps this is me seeking recourse for a terrible customer experience, but I don’t think I’ll spend money with MSI if this is how they take care of their customers after purchase.Right now, my best guess is the board is broken and I’ll need to buy a new and MSI will be of no help.UPDATE: I bought a different board and it worked just fine. MSIs warranty service requires you to pay for shipping the board to them, so I guess I'll go and do that now to see if they'll fix it for me.

Work great on my build.
