WIFI function lost one month in, never getting MSI again.
Original
I did not know a motherboard could have such an impact on performance. I have had to clear CMOS 4 times, I flashed the new firmware to no avail. Probably the worst MOBO I have ever owned, will update review when they fix the issue. Apparently it is a common and persistent one for MSI. So far my MSI build has been a terrible experience.

1. A decent priced B650 full ATX motherboard.
2. For it's price it has some good features like the newest WIFI 6.0, Bluetooth 5.3, plenty of USB Type A 3.2 ports. front headers for a USB Type A and C, 2 M.2 ports, a USB Type C GEN 3.2 2x2 20 Gbit speed and plenty of space to add your GPU and two other smaller PCI-E devices.
3. Has a decent VRM, power stages are 12, 2 and 1. The mosfets are well cooled with onboard heatsinks.
4. The BIOS is pretty decent with an EZ or advanced mode for tuning and programming.
5. Has a BIOS flashback switch.
6. Unlike some people I didn't have memory issues. I'm using BIOS version V1.3 that came with the motherboard and I was able to run a set of T-Force Z DDR5 6000 CL30 on EXPO without any issues.
7. If I wanted to upgrade to a better CPU this motherboard could handle it and AMD has a reputation of holding it's platforms longer than Intel.
Cons to be fair,
1. Like many others have stated the boot time is horrible. I've read a lot of people complain about the MSI B650 motherboards having long boot times and I've experienced the same. I'm on BIOS V1.3, maybe a BIOS update may fix this.
2. When I went to tune my CPU in BIOS they had two different way to use PBO which is confusing. One is labeled Overclock and other is under advanced setting for overclocking. The odd thing is when you use the advanced setting they work better that the labeled Overclock setting yet don't show up as a BIOS change when you go to save and reset. Maybe a BIOS update might fix this.
3. This a minor con, but you get what you pay for. There's no PCI-E GEN 5 nor NVME x5.
4. Compared to Intel's B660 motherboards the AMD B650 motherboards are expensive and you have to use DDR5, you don't have the option for DDR4 motherboards.
All in all I'm happy with my purchase because I wanted to move to a new platform, but I didn't have a lot of money of spend. I paired this with a Ryzen 5 7600, DDR5 6000 CL60, RX 6800(non-XT) and this motherboard for a total cost of under 550 after tax. With everything in my PC I can websurf, run light productivity apps, watch multimedia and play the newest games at 1440p or sometimes above. Sure I could of cut corners, got a cheaper motherboard and memory kit, but if I did I'd have to upgrade those two things much sooner and I really needed the extra PCI-E slots.
Update,
I recently upgraded to a Ryzen 7 7800X3D and this motherboard handles it with no problem. A little advise. If you run the 7800X3D I'd go into BIOS, set the maximum temperature to 80c under PBO and do a CPU offset of anywhere from 20 to 30 negative because this CPU in my system was running hot even using a EVGA 280mm AIO liquid cooler. Also using good thermal grease will help as well. After doing what I did my idle temperatures went from the high 40s and low 50s to the range of 42 to 45c idle so I dropped at least 7c lower on average. I chose to use Artic MX-6 which I find to be the best non-conductive thermal paste for the money.

I haven't built myself a new PC in over six years. Thankfully, my job purchased new 3D design software that REQUIRES the latest GeForce graphics cards to run. So, I bit the bullet and decided to go high end on everything. THIS board with an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D CPU, MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 4090 24GB GDRR6X 384-Bit graphics card, a high speed 4 TB M.2 NVMe SSD, and 64 GB of DDR5 RAM and I cannot even keep up.
I have started downloading some of the latest graphics intensive games with ray tracing (RTX) and maxing out the settings, but this system doesn't miss a beat.
Pros:
*Elegant design (looks fantastic in a clear case)
*Board runs cool with all the heat syncs installed
*Pump controller for liquid cooling is also a HUGE benefit
*built in A-RGB controller makes all my fans look amazing synced together
*PLENTY of fan connectors
*RELIABLE board
*simple and intuitive BIOS (compared to Asus or Gigabyte)
*Plenty of back panel USB outlets
*Easy to read instruction manual (helpful)
*Dual NVMe slots for SSDs
*EXTRA power connector for high end CPUs
*WiFi 6E BUILT IN with bluetooth 5.3
*2.5 GB LAN connection
*USB 3.2 Gen 2 type A and C
*Decent Audio chip
Cons (not much really):
*the connection for the PCI-E16 (graphics card) is lower on the board, which is a pro AND a con. It's a PRO because it's easier to access the NVMe if you want to upgrade the SSD. But it's a con because it is so close to the bottom of the case where the power supply is located. It was harder to run cables to the bottom of the motherboard because of this (USB, audio, front panel wires). And there is barely an inch and a half of space between the huge graphics card and the bottom (see photo), and I have a FULL ATX case (side note, I think I will get a custom SERVER case next time... sheesh). Also, if you want to ADD another NVMe SSD, you will have to take OUT the graphics card to get to it. But this is true of other boards as well and can't be helped.
*tight space - the heat syncs are so large, it is difficult to plug in the CPU power connector
*No USB4 Gen 4 connections (if you even NEED that)
Like I said, the cons are really minimal. All in all I HIGHLY recommend this board. It has been running for a week now without ANY issues, and it's the BEST board I've ever had. I think I am MSI for life now...
