Amazon.com: Customer reviews: MSI MPG X570 GAMING PLUS Motherboard (AMD AM4, PCIe 4.0, DDR4, SATA 6Gb/s, M.2, USB 3.2 Gen 2, HDMI, ATX)

Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2021

I have used MSI motherboards for nearly every PC I've built for myself and have always been impressed with them overall. I have this motherboard paired with an AMD Ryzen 9 3950x CPU, Thermaltake Floe Ring 360 liquid cooler, MSI Gaming X Trio GeForce RTX 2080 Ti GPU, Corsair Dominator 64 GB 3200 DDR4 RAM, two Western Digital Black 1TB SN750 M.2 NVMe Internal Gaming SSD's and a Western Digital Black Performance 6 TB HDD. Motherboard was easy to install into my case, no trouble plugging cables and components in, memory and SSD interface are excellent, all three of my hard drives work well together, data transfer rates are impressive even when going from my SSD's to the HDD. The chipset temperature stays pretty constant, don't be alarmed by its high idle temp of 60 °C even if the fan is off, its normal. Under load the fan kicks on and the chipset temp rarely gets above 65 °C. My only complaint and suggestion are regarding the included Frozer M.2 heatsink, the screw holes on the heatsink DO NOT line up with the screw hole on the motherboard for the right side of the heatsink, its hole is over an inch past where the hole on the motherboard is so make sure you get an M.2 drive with a built-in heatsink.

You can't beat it for the money

6 months ago when I bought this board, it was the best x570 Am4 for the money. It still is. It's hard to say overly positive things about a mobo, because well...it's either compatible with your other components or it isn't. So I'm going to do a weird thing for a 5 star review: nitpick.

They should've located a couple fan headers at the front, instead of all at the bottom, makes it hard for shorter fan cables. The chipset heatsink and fan seem adequate, but could've been a little beefier (I've seen some temps I would consider high on the chipset while running benchmarks). The audio is just OK, but I guess that's most mobo's these days. Dragon Center is a God-Awful Nightmare. Sweet Jesus, do not install it, if you don't want to melt your CPU. It ran my Ryzen 3600 at 4.2 OC full-time. I was crashing games constantly. Overheating nonstop. Please, I'm telling you, if you love yourself -- DO NOT INSTALL DRAGON CENTER. Use Ryzen Master and Precision Boost Overclock.

Why the five star review? Easily sidestep these minor inconveniences, and pay 40% less than you would for an Asus board with the same features. Buy better fans, don't use their awful software, and tweak a few settings. No big deal, you're a PC builder, right?

After my previous motherboard failed after years 5 years of usage, the time had come to pick a new motherboard.
I have done my research for many weeks and finally decided to settle with this motherboard. There are several reasons on why I decided to go with this motherboard.

1) Lightning Gen 4 - This motherboard supports the next gen PCIe. When its out and you want to upgrade, you dont have to buy a new motherboard!
2) Price - Its hard to beat this price for a x570 motherboard for all the features you are getting.
3) M.2 - Supports M.2 for taking your OS speed to a next level and boot up within seconds.
4) DDR4 - Lets be honest. The time of DDR3 is almost over. Time to move on to DDR4 which this board supports.
5) Customization - This board has something for everyone. Whether you want show it off and add a ton of LEDs to your system, or just settle with the basic needs, this board will suit you. It has all the ports you need to customize your system any way you want.
6) BIOS - Comes with built-in profiles for beginners so that they dont have to spend hours trying to research what settings to go with. One tap on a profile (Game Mode, XMP and other profiles) and you are ready to go! Offers overclocking for advanced users that know what they are doing.
7) Audio Boost 4 - You gotta hear the quality of sound coming from this chip set. Its amazing!
8) Support - Once you open the box, there are directions and guides showing you how to install the board with details. However, there are also so many resources available online for this motherboard if you are ever stuck with something or have questions.

In conclusion, so far, I am extremely happy with the results and the performance.

My system is:
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 (I bought with the motherboard)
RAM: 16GB - Ripjaw 3200 DDR4(I bought with the motherboard)
GPU: GTX 980 TI
PSU: Corsair 750 M
Case: Thor Rosewill v2 (bigger the better)

I got this to replace the cheep motherboard I got before. It was also an upgrade for my CPU too I got a newer model. This motherboard has gave me no problems. I was worried at first cuz the fan on this wasn't spinning so I did a test to see if it's working and it is. The motherboard just doesn't get hot enough to make it spin. Over all this is what it's advertised as and I like it. Very good motherboard.

Perfect Motherboard for First Gaming PC.

I bought this motherboard for my first custom PC. I first fell for it due to its sleek design, the tiny details of the black and red and the stripes were really appealing to me. For what it is, the price is very reasonable. Setting up my PC with this motherboard was really easy since sections are labeled well, and the instructions that come with the motherboard are very straightforward and helpful.

The compatibility with AMD Ryzen 2000 and 3000 series also really helped since I bought a couple of parts from them. Match made in heaven! Gaming is really smooth and nice with this motherboard. The main reason why I built a PC was to get more into PC gaming, and this motherboard fits perfectly for it. I recommend this motherboard for those who are getting into PC gaming for their first time.

Overall I'm very satisfied with this product. I'm definitely going to consider buying more products from MSI in the future.

Awesome gaming board with great features

I purchased this board and paired it up with an AMD Ryzen 7 5800x, EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 ti graphics card, and 16GB of Corsair Vengence RGB RAM, what a beast of a machine.

I built the machine for streaming my gameplay and it has not disappointed me. Being able to overclock with a couple clicks of the mouse is just too easy. You can save multiple OC profiles and cater to whatever you’re doing. See screenshot of system overclocked.

Installation is a breeze and everything is very well documented which even for experienced builders like myself is very nice to see.

I did have to use the support site docs because I was using an existing SSD storage device with Windows 10 that was loaded on an older machine with a BIOS. The new UEFI isn’t compatible with an old BIOS so it caused a no boot to OS condition. A quick settings change and I was in business.

The LED config and being able to control any LED device that is connected to the proper ports is very cool. Having all of your lights in sync and controlled in one place makes for a beautiful look.

I’d recommend this board to anyone, especially gamers. If you want the best performance then use MSI certified compatible items. They test these items and recommend them so users get the most from their build

First MSI board

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2020

i've been buying asus boards my whole life, the last 15 years of computer builds anyway, since the old AMD socket A chips. this board was bundled with the cpu, and i figured it was a fairly decent price for an x570 board. upon looking into it, the active cooling on the southbridge (or whatever they're calling it these days, superio chip?), and Buildzoid having praised the vrm heatsink quiet readily, let alone the fairly decent vrm itself really sold me on it.

the bios was simple to use, and i was delighted to find a search function, something i've never seen in a bios and would have killed for an uncountable number of times. the diagnostic led helped me troubleshoot why i couldn't post (just needed to re-seat the gpu), and i appreciate the giant m.2 heatsink as well. if there's any defining feature of this board, it's ample cooling.

the fan headers (other than cpu of course) are all along the bottom, making assembly and cable management simple. right angle sata ports and usb3.0 header also contribute to a clean, tidy case interior, which is good because this thing is jam packed.

i'm sure there may be more features i'll want in the future, more than 2 m.2 slots for example, or more than one pci 16x slot (the second is only wired for 8x) for some higher end ssd or m.2 riser. but for now it hits all my needs without pinching any of my pain points.

I purchased this board for my most recent PC build: Ryzen 3600, 32Gb CL16 Ram @3600mhz, 1tb NVME Drive, Radeon 5600XT.

This motherboard looks and feels like a high end board, with a sleek visually appealing design, practical layout and all of the features I want in a board at this price point. I had no quirks or issues after carefully assembling my build and it POSTed without fault on the first attempt. Flashed the BIOS, set my RAM XMP and enabled PBO, then it was off to the races.

After seeing some warnings from a couple YouTube reviewers about poor VRM thermals on the lower end of the X570 lineup from MSI I am happy to report that after running an hour of small FFTs on Prime95; VRM temperatures never exceeded 53c, and mostly hovered around 51c under load (idle temps around 40c). For reference, I'm using a Thermaltake V250 argb case with stock fan arrangement, which has modest airflow at best (no mesh front panel) and a Hyper 212 Black Edition CPU cooler.

I honestly couldn't be much happier with my purchase. I am not a huge fan of the layout of MSI's UEFI BIOS or their Dragon Center utility software but functionally it's actually pretty good.

This board is basically everything I don't like about building a PC. Building a PC should be easy. The motherboard should be easy to deal with. This board?

The mounting holes for the heat sink for the main NVMe port is where? Wait what???? One of the holes is a screw hole for mounting the motherboard into the CASE????? I don't like that let's see if I can use another heat sink instead. Well darn the NVMe port is SO close to the PCIe slot for the GPU there's no way a heat sink I could buy will fit there, it looks like I'd break the locking clip for the GPU. Boy I sure wish that the directions they give for this NVMe port actually worked right. I put the heat sink in place and it's not even snug against the NVMe drive, which means the heat sink isn't doing anything. So my only choice is to use the 2nd NVMe port where the NVMe connects to the chipset instead of directly to the CPU because I HAVE to have a heat sink on it as it's a fast gen4 NVMe drive that requires a heat sink. OK so luckily I found a heat sink that I can buy that will work with the NVMe in the first port as it's narrow enough to fit right next to the GPU.

Let's see memory. WHAT? There's only locking clips on one side? Well I've dealt with this before with Asrock motherboards and this is EXACTLY why I don't buy Asrock motherboards because I have memory problems with about 50% of the Asrock boards I've tried to set up systems with. I have to reseat memory a few times to FINALLY get the system to work and part of the time I can't set an XMP value with them because it can't handle the speed of the memory. Gee what am I going to do with the 3600 memory I bought? Run it at 2933 like I have to with a couple Asrock boards?

I'm sorry MSI this is what I don't like. As it is this isn't a board for pushing a CPU, it's for gaming which is generally a lower to mid use case for something like an 8 core CPU. I couldn't use this for doing heavy work with a 16 core Zen 3 CPU because the VRMs aren't good enough to handle it. But for gaming today you need faster NMVe drives which means you need heat sinks that ACTUALLY WORK.

I like motherboards where I don't have to keep running into problems. You know like I don't have to find out I need to buy another heat sink because the one with the board doesn't mount properly to put pressure against the NVMe drive so it actually pulls heat away from it?

I guess I could put a low end Zen 3 5500 on it, a cheap gen 3 NVMe which doesn't need a heat sink and use it for light work.
