Nice and great audio too.

This was my first computer case And after reading tons of reviews and watching many videos I decide to go with this motherboard. A nice clean looking motherboard with plenty of features to offer. A good heat sink on the VRM, Great audio, USB C as well. 4 RAM slots that's a nice to have on a mATX board. So far I have had the computer running 24/7 and there has been no problems at all. That's a lot more then I can say about my old PC. The built in LED's are a nice too have if you like RGB. One of the feature s I like is being able to make the LED's sync to your CPU's temp. The Bio's has two mode's an easy and advance which is great for beginner's and experienced builder's. All in all I definitely recommend this to anyone building a mATX PC.

Good looks and good temps..GG

What I like: 1. Awesome look and neutral theme, can be used for other color themes due to its rgb. 2. Simple and not too flamboyant. 3. Great VRM temps as per hardware unboxed reviews. Cons: 1. Arrived in "sealed" amazon prime box, but the inside actual box of MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC was already opened. 2. Shipping price to Philippines is 40$ more or less. 3. Only 1 M.2 Shield. 4. Onboard JRGB headers are too spread out, making RGB lighting cables go to all places. 5. RGB lighting would have been appreciated if they placed some near the upper left part. I ordered mine via amazon prime, it arrived in 1 week to Philippines from US, but I received the box already opened, luckily, it still works, but its weird to receive it opened, the other parts I ordered via newegg were all sealed, though they arrived 3 weeks. Used in the following build: Case: RAKK Hawani Motherboard: MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC RAM: Team Vulcan TUF 2x8GB 3200 Mhz CPU: Ryzen 2700x PSU: CoolerMaster MasterWatt 650 TUF Case Fans: 2 sets of RAKK Maris X2 GPU: GT 630 -> planning to upgrade to AMDs upcoming GPU

Very balanced board for Ryzen processors

I bought it to replace a lackluster B350 Tomahawk board. This board sports a very well thought VRM design, without the bell and whistles of flagship motherboards but with solid thermal performance - it has a couple of big passive heatsinks and doubled up mosfets and inductors. The board also has good clearance for air coolers, good features like the dual M.2 slots (one of them on top of the PCIe slots to allow the ssd to not be enclosed beneath the graphics card heatsink), the inclusion of AC wireless and Bluetooth, a lot of fan headers and a variety of led lighting headers, supporting regular led strips, digital led strips and Corsair specific led products. In the end, a lot of features without the need to break the bank.

Read and enjoy your hours saved out of your life.

I will save u some aggravation. U need windows 10. Windows 7 wont get pass what install error said..cannot load phase 2. The problem is win7 does not support usb3. Regardless of how u set bios to handle legacy usb ports..don't waste your time. I bought the oem 10. It is a full install not a upgrade. Btw if u can't load the os on existing hard drive Get to windows install command prompt Diskpart List disk Select disk number Clean Convert got Partition esi Exit When reload is And still can't load Delete U should see unallocated space. Btw u r welcome..took me 3 days to figure all that out.

This Mini-ITX MB worked when other did not

I do not claim to know a great deal about motherboards. In fact, this is my first PC build. What I can say is that I expected a MB that met all the basic functionality demands that I needed and that this MB has met all of them. Prior to the MSI board I bought a MB from another company that did not work and was returned. To great relief, this board worked and so far my Ryzen 7, 16 gb T.Force 3000 ram build has been great. No issues! Everything fits in my Coolermaster 110 case. Mini-ITX rocks. I am excited to upgrade to M.2 NVME in the near future. I am really glad this board allows me to do that! Very happy and satisfied with this board from MSI.

Great Value + Performance

-I paired this board with an R5 2600. I was easily able to hold a stable 4.0 OC with Hyper 212 Evo stressing it with Aida64 for an hr at 67c. -It also OC'd my Trident Z RGB to 3200 nicely using A-XMP. -BIOS is easy to use and easy to OC. -Mystic Light is nice! Using ML software you CAN change the built-in board LEDs to different colors. Not just red. They are NOT, however, individually addressable LEDs. Board LEDs and both top and bottom RGB headers work in unison. -Mystic Light features: Color Cycle Breathing Color Cycle Flashing Color Cycle Breathing (Choose color including White) Flashing (Choose color including White) Double Flashing (Choose color including White) No Animation CPU Temp Music Default (Red) -Sexy neutral gunmetal gray sinks

Solid mobo for budget and mid range builds

I'm really glad I chose this board. Admittedly, I'm a big fan of MSI hardware. I've never had any serious issues with their mobos or graphics cards and been lucky enough not to get a dud or DOA that can happen with any brand. I've had a 2012 AMD Sapphire GPU build sitting around collecting dust and finally decided in the past month to upgrade the damn thing. It's up and running with a new SSD and I'm very pleased with it. My ONLY real criticism with this board is that it, along with a few other MSI boards, requires you to install the CPU fan BEFORE you screw the mobo to the case. There's a backplate underneath the board and if you try to do it the other way around, it will shift and then you'll be like "Why don't these screws on the CPU fan reach their respective holes?" As weird as it is, install the CPU and the fan first, then screw the board to your case. Other than that little oddity, it's smooth sailing if you follow the manual.

Best i've tried so far

I will start off by saying that I think I've tried just about every Mini ITX board out there with the 350 chipset. Seemed to be ok running my Ryzen 2600X. But then I decided to jump into the 450 chipset and see what the difference was if any. I decide to go with this MSI board just because im becoming a fan of the Dragon. Once I got this board, I could tell it was pretty good quality, maybe not the top of the line, but pretty darn close. I love this board. I'm a small form factor Gamer and this thing is a beast and my games haven't run better. There are only 2 things that I can live with, but would liked to see more is it only has 2 fan headers. One more would've helped out alot. And the other thing is that I can't get my ram to 3200 mhz, just stuck at 3066 mhz which isn't a game breaker. But MSI is really good at updating its bios and software, so that last one isn't much of an issue. Other than that, I would highly recommend this board to any Ryzen 2 owners wanting to do anything including gaming.

First PC build

I chose this mobo for my very first PC build/entry-level gaming PC, and I think I made an excellent choice. I didn't need a full ATX size because I'm minimalist... I don't plan on having a lot of components or peripherals, I'm not HUGE into gaming, and I wanted a physically smaller case. This board also has 4 RAM slots rather than the usual 2 for mATX, which is great. I spent a lot of time reviewing mATX boards, and this was the one consistently ranked highly. My build is: CPU: AMD - Ryzen 5 2600 3.4 GHz 6-Core Motherboard: MSI - B450M BAZOOKA Micro ATX AM4 Memory: G.Skill - Ripjaws 4 Series 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Storage: Samsung - 860 Evo 500 GB 2.5" SSD Video Card: MSI - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6 GB GT OCV1 Power Supply: EVGA - SuperNOVA G3 550 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Case: Thermaltake - Versa H18 MicroATX Mini Tower Being a newb to PC building, I discovered I couldn't use the on-board graphics, because the Ryzen 2600 requires a dedicated graphics card. So until my graphics card arrived, it would boot with no display and 3 beeps, and show "VGA" LED on the "EZ Debug LED" strip. (Which, by the way, is a very handy feature). I think it's kind of a bummer that I can never use integrated graphics on this system as a back-up if my gfx card fails, but oh well. Then, I was also a bit worried my gfx card wouldn't fit, but it does. Lol. (What can I say, the last time I tinkered with graphics cards was 15 years ago when they were much smaller). The mobo arrived in great packaging, with very clear instructions on how to install everything, both physically and for the software/drivers. MSI is great about making very user-friendly instructions and software, and this is partly why I chose MSI, as a first time builder. Installing the drivers and software was easy and flawless. Now I will be spending months just figuring out what all of the options mean in the Command Center! ^_^ Building a PC has been an awesome and rewarding experience, largely thanks to MSI. Small nag: The Mystic Lighting, by itself, is pretty underwhelming, but I guess better than nothing.

Great Surprise!

So I have been spending the last few weeks doing research on the perfect motherboard to pair with a new Ryzen 5 2600. I had been focusing on the X470's, primarily because I didin't want to have to wait on AMD to send me a new cpu to flash the bios update onto one of the older mobo's (instant gratification of a purchse and all that). One of the sales people at MicroCenter suggested this board as I was eyeballing the Aorus Gaming 5, and after making the spec comparisons, this board offered more than I needed. I was happy to walk out with a better board than I was looking for at a price that shaved off of my budget! Getting it home and set up was a breeze! I have had no issues with it at all! All I can say is, be SURE to update drivers right away! They are all on the MSI website, and Windows 10 doesn't auto find them so navigate to the window to get them.
