A fine board from MSI. Great wifi speeds, lots of fan headers and really well made board.
Only thing I do better is change location of 2 capacitators near the GPU bracket. They do cause a problem when fitting the GPU but other than that it’s a great product. The best part about building with the board is that the power connectors come in 1 mini cable and the board has the best manual compared to their competitors.
It feels and looks solid, the design was so good i couldn’t get my eyes off it for a while and installing everything was very easy, it also has screw free m.2 clips making this very friendly for a first time builder like me.
popped a i9 chip into it with a nvidia 4060 – works great first time. had a worry when the M2 drive didn’t show in the boot selection (but did show in the drives section) unless it was put into legacy mode – needn’t worry – windows 11 installed anyway and after that put the board back to uefi mode and boots fine. everything was well positioned on the board – and the software from MSI monitored the temperature and everything. a good all round motherboard that gives confidence in its stability.
Built my first PC ever just yesterday and was glad to find good instruction included in it. The only downside would be that (as far as I am aware) it did not take into account SSD and didn’t show a step for it rather than that it showed HDD.
Has a decent amount of usb ports which its one of the reasons I’ve choose this.
Really good budget-quality aspect.
The packaging protection could be improved, anyways the product came perfectly fine even without a delivery box.
Overall the product it’s really good for those who are looking for a budget lga1700 ddr5 motherboards.
During the actual “building” process, everything on the motherboard is labled for new builders, the manual makes it very clear on how to proceed each step. There are even YouTube video links on each step.
The only issue I encountered was trying to connect to the internet during Windows 11 setup, had to resort to an ethernet cable. The wireless capibilities worked after installing the correct drivers.
With a great price, I highly recommend
This is the third MSI board that I have purchased over the years. They have plenty of options for adding and connecting things.
Well built. Good looking, if that is important to you.
My only criticism is that there’s no physical manual to tell you what all the sockets and jumpers are for, but that’s the way everyone is going nowadays.
Now seems to be a bad time to chose a motherboard as, along with the usual socket changes, both DDR5 and PCIe5 are here to complicate your final decision. After a quick crunch session with the usual YouTube suspects I decided that DDR5 is a must and both overclocking, and PCi5, are a nice have and, thankfully, the Tomahawk B760 WiFi ticks all the boxes with the addition of being more budget friendly.
I have used ASUS pretty much for every PC I’ve built but decided against them due to their recent shenanigans around AM5. So I decided to try my luck with MSi as this board was also inside my budget and, while some have described the design as utilitarian, I didn’t actually want a pile of covers brandished in gaudy typefaces exclaiming ‘GAMING’. Additionally there were quite a few YouTubers exclaiming how competent the Tomahawk board was for the price.
Setup was no different to any other motherboard and layout choices, both good and bad, are more dependent on your final build and PC case. However with so many cases coming with three fans up front it would have been nice to have three fan headers on the right side of the motherboard, number three being at the bottom of the board. Everything else, that I was concerned with, was in the right place.
For the final build I took a gamble and went with all MSi components including PSU and AIO. As my last build was white I had decided that this time I wanted ‘stealth’ black and the MSI components seems less OTT aesthetically than some other motherboards.
Click Bios is OK and I managed to get everything setup, including getting the DDR5 of the stock JEDEC profile, and has a nice blend of the ‘modern’ and traditional menus. There also seems to be plenty of OC options but, considering the machine benchmarks so high on PC Mark (13600k, 32GB DDR5 6000, 990 Pro M.2) I have no need to OC for now.
All in all a good, ‘low’ priced motherboard which should last longer than most considering 13gen Intel support, DDR5 and PCIe5 come as standard with overclocking capability. This board had everything I needed and I as happy as you can be with a motherboard.
The only down sides I have found is a lack of any paper manual (yes, you can download from the QR code
but a tech sheet, with pin outs and header locations, would be nice for the initial build), the WiFi antennas that foul on the rear panel cables and Mystic Light software being a bit subpar compared to the competitio
I got this Motherboard for my first build and I honestly think it’s a great pick for me. I’ve recently started my first build using this board and I can’t deny how easy it is to locate where everything is meant to be placed (System fans connectors, Pump, power cables, restart cables).
Everything on the motherboard is labled for new builders, making it easier for people like ‘me’ to understand what connector belongs where without having to get up and reread the manual or search the MSI website.
I was upgrading my PC kit for Windows 11 and originally purchased a mini atx ASRock board but noticed that it had missing headers for my new cheap case.
Another board I wanted was out of stock, this was about 50% more expensive than the ASRock board but it had extra PCIEx16 slots, extra RAM slots, on board Wifi6, 2.5Gb LAN.
The ASRock had a better bios screen navigation and bios flashing process but this was good too and overall it seems pretty good.
