MSI B450I GAMING PLUS AC Motherboard mini-ITX, AM4, DDR4, LAN, USB 3.1 Gen1, M.2, HDMI, DVI-D, AMD RYZEN 1st, 2nd and 3rd Gen

Good, functional mITX board for small or micro builds. On board wi-fi is good with strong reception.Lots of USB 3.0 ports and header for the front panel.PCI-e slot for GPU so works as a gaming board perfectly.Only 2 RAM slots, as you would expect for a small board but still a drawback if you want more expansion options.Only 1 system fan header so you might need a splitter for more as one fan in a gaming system probably won't cut it.2 RGB headers and the Mystic Light software is decent.Control Centre software is good and UEFI BIOS is intuitive and easy to use for clocking and adjusting settings.

Used this motherboard as part of a new Gaming PC build for the misses.Built in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth worked out the box on Windows 10 and the m.2 slot on the underside is an excellent addition for a minimalist build. Excellent BIOS makes it easy to set the clock speed for the RAM and CPU making OC'ing a doddle.One thing to note however is that i had to adjust the fan orientation of the Wraith Stealth cooler that comes with the RYZEN 5 2600 as the AMD logo on the fan shroud interfered with the RAM or the heatsink on the power rail. Easy enough to unscrew and rotate 90 degrees and those using lower profile RAM will likely not find this an issue.

Bought this for my first PC build, wanted a smaller PC so went for a mini itx build. It does what it's meant to, easy to install, BIOS is easy to use and considered a good buy.Currently in use with a Ryzen 3 2200g with Vega 8 graphics, 2 x 8GB DDR4 Corsair Vengeance RAM and a cheap GTX 550ti.The only issue I have had is that for some reason Windows will often BSOD with a couple of errors such as VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE and VIDEO_SCHEDULER_INTERNAL_ERROR.After hours of researching the only way I was able to avoid the issue was to install a dedicated graphics card.Sounds like the issue with the processor than the motherboard, but not 100% sure.If you decide to get one, be wary on the type of processor you get, as you may experience graphics issues. But other than that, nice small motherboard.

I do not normally write reviews for Amazon products but seeing as this is new and no one else has had the chance to I thought I should share my experience with this motherboard for others.I bought this to work with the AMD Ryzen 5 2400g APU and it works perfectly for my small form factor build inside the Fractal Node 202. I am no expert on building PCs but the board worked out of the box and includes MSI easy to use BIOS interface. If you are thinking of using this for the APU build it is recommended to use high quality RAM and I used two 4gb 3000MHz sticks that work well with the system.If you are thinking of overclocking this with a more powerful CPU then you may need to be careful with heat issues but this seems like a common issue with mini ITX builds due to the case ventilation.Bluetooth and WiFi work out of the box and perform incredibly well with the internet speeds being faster on this device than any other in the house.You can look for the previous generation of boards that may be slightly cheaper but to work with the APUs you will likely need to update the BIOS that will require one of the older Ryzen CPUs. If this is not an option for you then this is an amazingly affordable motherboard considering the other alternative are upwards of £200.Hope this helps any potential buyers.

The motherboard works incredibly well. It is a great solution for small form factor PC that will be used as a work station and a gaming machine. However, it is limited in its features compared to premium cards of this size. It has nomeaningful overclocking capabilities and lack of fan curve setup, saying that it perfectly works with my Ryzen 3 3200g and for many people overclocking and fine tuning of fans is not an issue.

I originally purchased this motherboard over the Gigabyte Aorus version becasuse the latter had incredibly loud coil whine coming from the VRM area during high load.Switching to MSI eliminated all noise coming from the motherboard. For the price you a getting a good amount of features, good temps, decent VRM cooling and good build quality.Installation was relatively easy, BIOS updates are easy to do and it recognized everything out of the box. Running my memory at its rated speed, overclocking is a breeze and the newest bios fixed the fluctuating temps on my R5 2600.But, above all, there isn't a sound coming from the capacitors during stress testing and this makes me very happy.2 negativ observations on my part: this black and red look is not my favourite; the M. 2 slot is located at the back, therefore, the the temps are higher and your options to cool it are very limited.

I did not receive my backplate or clamps with this motherboard, so i had to buy another one. It is not stated in the description that you dont receive and then you also showed that it has these in the photos. I have not tested the board yet as now I'm skeptical that it will work as it could be a used board in which i did not order or buy.Update: i have finally made a build with this and i can guarantee that this does not support Ryzen 3! As now i need to buy another processor to just start it up.Waste of money amd time!

Brilliant board, so good I have two systems running it now (a 3600 and a 3800x). Both overclock great, the vrm runs cool and it clocks memory like crazy. I run one system with 2 x 16gb B-Die @ 3800 CL16 and the other with 2 x 8gb B-Die @ 3800 CL14. Theres just no reason to get an ITX X570 board unless you need more M.2 slots or until PCIE 4.0 for gpus becomes relevant. Even the new Lite bios is fast, easy to use and is pretty near feature parity now with the full fat UEFI on the MAX and X570 boards. My only complaint is the lack of a bios flashback button. I picked up my first board for £118 in July and my second board for £82 in warehouse with 20% off due to Black Friday. Total bargain.
