MSI - B350 TOMAHAWK (Socket AM4) USB 3.1 Gen 1 AMD Motherboard with LED Lighting

I think this is a great motherboard for the price and also for the performance!!

Had an old eMachines with an original Intel i5 that finally died (its been on its way out from a lightening strike) a half working motherboard and CPU were the last surviving pieces. Once they died I needed an immediate replacement. BestBuy had this in stock so this is what I got. Overall it is a nice motherboard for the price. I'm not a gamer however I run several VMs, Containers and bloated IDE's. Its been a while since I've needed a new motherboard so I can't compare the modern BIOS with anything. But overall it seems pretty decent and does what I need it to. Installation was super easy. Popped in the processor and RAM without issue and mounted it in a 10 year old case without any problems. All connections are properly labeled. Currently working on Ubuntu w/ 16 gigs of RAM and 2 x 4K monitors.

First off, DO NOT TOUCH THE BIOS VERSION. Best Buy does a wonderful job at providing a fairly recent bios that will support the ryzen 3 2200g/ryzen 5 2400g. Just do the driver updates and they’ll run well. I purchase a 2200g and it’s been great with this motherboard. If it’s on sale as was the case for me, then do not hesistate. For regular price I recommend the 450 tomahawk since it’s newer, no bios headache and again it’s newer so in line with the most recent processor version. If you’re on a budget build as I was, then this is a great starter with plenty of upgrade ability.

Great B350 board for the Ryzen platform, if you don't care about overclocking and advanced features then go for this. I use it for a system exclusively for VR and it gets the job done. If you're doing a lot like webcam and stuff then you may want to go for a new motherboard since you may run into bandwidth issues with USB on that chipset on this mobo but still a very good option for $99. It does have a 200 mHz boost option for your cpu and supports good RAM options, I have G Skillz Trident Z @ 2933 speed and have had zero issues with anything related to RAM and CPU speed.

At under $100 it will get you up and running with not many frills. If you’re on a budget it will get the job done and actually has decent overclocking chops. What you’re missing out on are ports and features like sli and cross fire.

This motherboard doesn't have all the bells and whistles of more expensive boards, but catching on sale made it very worth it. MSI boards have worked well for me.

Very good price for the specs on this product and I like the subtle leds that are placed on this motherboard as well

This motherboard is great. it is compatible with lots of different pieces, so it has lots of upgrades. For a low priced motherboard this has a lot of options and I highly recommend it.
