MSI products have always worked well for me and this motherboard is great just like the others I have used for my builds in the past.

- Was easy to recover from a failed firmware upgrade due to bad RAM with BIOS flashback feature. - BIOS is easy to use and tune. - Can use EXPO settings for AMD DDR5 on Intel CPU's. - Runs cool. - Plenty of NVME and SATA ports. - Lots of fan headers and expansion options. - Looks good, not overly done with RGB, a little bit that glows from under the GPU is a nice touch.

The ASUS ROG Crosshair X870E Dark Hero is phenomenal. I want to start by mentioning the attention to detail and the build qualityit's on another level. The board feels very solid, strong, and heavy. The main reason I decided to go with this board is that it allows me to run two Gen 5 SSDs at full speed without losing GPU performance, keeping the graphics card running at x16. I do lose the use of the 40Gb USB-C ports, but honestly I dont use them anyway. Working on the board was super easy thanks to all the EZ-Latch mechanisms, which made installing components quick and hassle-free.

I like how this board worked out for my build. It is very impressive. Glad this doesn't have Display port or HDMI on the back panel. I have no need for integrated graphics nor their ports. Delete your Drivers and swap video cards out. Why you need IG ? I also don't need wifi but it comes with it. I recommend that you upgrade the bios as soon as you can, Initially it sounded like a Manual Cash Register during the Windows Updates. Loud Bangs, Clicks, and thuds during the Restarts. It added to the Theater of Building. After all the driver updates it's smooth as butter. The Bios is the most user friendly I've ever seen from the Byte people. I'm investigating all the new settings i've never had before. Heavyweight Board and does not feel flimsy. My Boot times were insanely quick due to the dual pcie 5.0 m.2 slots, so quick i disabled the memory fast boot feature just so i feel old school and trying to hide the shame of spending 3k in other parts and components. QUICK Glad i bought much DDR5 before the Great Ram Inflation ! Boo

Great IO, 2.5gb LAN

I've tried other motherboards but I always go back to Asus. I haven't had time yet to play with it, but getting it up and running was a breeze

Price, up-gradable (future AMD chip releases), and fits in all setups. ***The ability to boot from the Gen 4 M.2 slot***

Shields/heatsinks are not flimsy, the entire board feels sturdy which was a requirement for this build.

Pretty much bought it because its cheap, has wifi, can support 3600 mhz ram.

Went from MSI Z690 Pro to this MSI B850 and windows loaded right up. Did not have to do a clean install. I had the Windows USB boot drive installed and instead of asking me for a clean installed, it somehow downloaded what was needed and booted. Remember to have the internet connect through cable. Only problem I had was with Windows recognizing my key but Windows support helped me getting Windows acivated. All good now

Beautiful mobo, everything has been thought of to make building east and beautiful at the same time

Everything works. Ordered the non wifi board but they shipped the wifi adapter with mine. *Update* Bought a 980 pro but does not support pcie4 ssd.

other then one of my RGB pin was slightly bent but was able to straighten it out. other then that for the price this board is great. I got a white pc built so it look and perform amazing. I would definitely buy another one in the future.

Easy setup, no issues and simple software via Armoury. Matched with a 270K Plus and DDR5 7200 it screems. WiFi 7 is very stable.

Durability, ease of use, port locations

Lots of I/O! Thoughtful placement of headers. Little features like a power button on the MB and a clear CMOS on the rear I/O. Originally this board did NOT support my Corsair Vengeance @XMP 6400 MT/s (CMH32GX5M2N6400C36) however it now supports my RAM at XMP since latest BIOS update!

Board gives me everything I needed and then some. It is on the expensive side, but the power and easy connections made it great to assemble in. I originally was going to get the Crosshair Extreme, which is it's big brother, then decided against it. I picked up this MB, the Ram, and a AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D, as a Newegg combo (gave the 9850X3D to my dad as a birthday present), which was pricey. The NVMe thing. My lord it's a godsend, I have 2 4TB Gen4 SSDs in here, and I don't lose any speed on either of them. I don't use the USB 4 slots, so I was happy to give those up.

Cannot beat the features for the price! Looks great and came packaged perfect.

This was the only board that let me install two GPUs and not block other needed PCIe slots for other uses (swing cameras, more IO).

Purchased this motherboard while I was waiting for a RMA on another motherboard brand and it works without any issues.
