Gaming Control Board News

Great board especially for the price. Perfect for gaming and all other needs !

Installed in gaming machine. Asus Hero board.

I’m not a gamer, just a photographer and fine art printer.  So, even with all the bad news and confusion re the Ryzen 9000 series, I decided to go ahead and replace my 7900 with a 9900X anyway.  I have an MSI MPG B650i EDGE WiFi motherboard in an open case with an ID-Cooling SE-207-XT air cooler to which I have attached a second fan.  The 7900 runs with DDR5-6000 memory, Game-Boost and the TDP elevated to 105W.  It pulls 142W running Cinebench R23 with a high temperature of 79C for a multi-core score of 27550.  When I replaced the 7900 with the 9900X, with the BIOS cleared except for EXPO, Cenibench R23 scored it at 32214 with a high temp of 81C.  That’s a 17% improvement, much better than I expected.  Think I’ll be keeping the 9900X and seeing how much I can wring out of it with a better cooler.  I have no intention of playing the core parking game.  Some good news re the 9000 series is overdue.  I appreciate that gaming drives the technology, but other users make up a large part of the marketplace, so it seems wrong for gaming to influence the whole picture.  Even though AMD fumbled the rollout, the 9900X is still a great CPU for non-gamers.

This is one of the best made and best functioning motherboard I have ever owned...........and I have owned a lot of them. This is an upgrade from my former ASUS board, a B450-F Gaming which is still going strong by the way. I only upgrade to the B55o-A because I wanted PCIe 4.0 capability. I highly recommend this board to any serious gamer.

Worked nicely for sending audio from our FOH board to our video control room.

Upgrading from a ROG STRIX B450-F gaming board with a new processor and gpu. Ryzen 7 5800X3D and Radeon RX 7700 XT. This board handles my gaming needs fantastically. The fact that it also incldes WiFi 6 and the 4 nvme .m2 PCIe 4.0 raid enclosure. It is worth every little bit of my investment.

I bought two of these one for myself and my wife. She's using the wireless NIC and its working great for gaming. I've tested the bluetooth functions with a custom bluetooth keyboard and it worked as expected. Primary purpose for buying this board was to get the flash bios button since I bought a ryzen 5 5600g which is only supported by the board after an update. worked fine following the instructions from random youtuber and confirmed by msi documentation. I also really appreciate that it has a built in display port in addition to hdmi. if you are buying an APU ryzen chip (the ones with graphics integrated) the display port feature is really nice to make full use of the power you are getting. the layout of the plugs on the board also works really nicely. my wifes case is a full gaming rig size with intense cable management and it looks spiffy in there. my case is for mini-ATX boards and doesn't have a lot of room by design, I was still able to get amazing airflow even with a huge graphics card and filling every sata port with power connections. uefi/bios menu is as expected with the usual stuff, boots fast, runs silent. great board so far. thanks MSI! and thanks B&H!

This board is an upgrade from my Asus B350 board. It has been an excellent investment. I have not had any issues. It looks great in my Asus Tuf Gaming case.
