Works as expected. No issues as of yet and so far I've tested 1st gen and 2nd gen ryzen processors. Both work on this board although it says it doesn't. I would think it just depends which bios revision you have (currently has the 08/21/2020 bios release). Won't plan on updating it since I will primarily be using a 1st gen ryzen processor with this board. Will update post if any issues come up in the future.For what you're getting, wifi, M. 2 slot and support for previous generations, I say it's the board to get. Only 2 ram slots, and 1 system fan header unfortunately, but it has an argb header, USB 3.0 header, and a heatsink for your M. 2 slot and your vrms so you can do a decent overclock. Great little board!

5.0 out of 5 stars Budget & Basic AMD AM4 board - suits my needs
Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2021
Verified Purchase
Basic budget amd am4 socket motherboard. I wouldn't classify this board for "gaming". I paired this with ryzen 5 3600 cpu and 16gb (2x8gb) of 3200 crucial memory. It is an excellent board for people who want to build a pc, not overclock the cpu and never open the pc case again. Also, motherboard only has 2 dimm slots and pcie gen 3 for gpu.
Wifi 5 (ac) performance is just ok. If you're looking to overclock cpu and upgrade components this is NOT the board for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, compact motherboard
Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2022
Verified Purchase
Bought this one because my previous motherboard was limiting power draw(probably was defective). It's good for small rigs and have cool features like wifi, m2 with heatsink. It works perfectly, but after I swappe motherboards I got couple issues. Since my rig is in miniATX case and I have high tbp gpu I need a lot of coolers(6 - 3 front, 2 top and 1 back), but motherboard has only 2 plugs for coolers, I had to buy 2 adapters to hook up my coolers. Also I faced a problem with RGB sync, due to 520 chipset, which is not supported in majority RGB apps, so the only solution for that, was installing specific brand's soft for each of my components rgb(4 apps). Even though it has some flaws, I like this motherboard, it works well, looks good and cost not that much comparing to the motherboards with wifi, high ram frequency support.

I've been using this motherboard every day now for over a year, and I don't regret a single penny of the money I spent on it. It's got plenty of heatsinks to protect the various chips and bridges installed on it, and the hardware was a pleasure to build and work with. I think I'll buy MSI for any motherboards I may need in the future.
