MSI MAG B650 TOMAHAWK WIFI

Very positive feedback on the support provided during the assembly of this PC. The team gave good advice during the preparatory phase (choice of components in relation to the desired result). The planned dates for receipt of the components and assembly were met. Very good quality of service.

The motherboard exudes quality. Clear layout, solid VRMs, comprehensive BIOS that's easy to learn. Installation of the DDR5 DIMMs is trouble-free, and there's no instability. The Wi-Fi is excellent and the number of connectors more than adequate. The Flash BIOS is a real convenience. An excellent choice for a high-performance, upgradeable AM5 setup.

I chose this graphics card because it had built-in wifi and Bluetooth, which allows me to share documents from my PC to my phone without having to run after a cable. As I don't have internet at the moment (thanks SFR) I use my phone as a modem, and as this motherboard has an integrated wifi card I can finally do without a wifi key that worked 1 time out of 2.

Opinion: very solid motherboard: robust VRM, clear BIOS, full connectivity (integrated Wi-Fi + 2.5 GbE, M.2 well served). Room for improvement: some of the factory BIOSes are old - think about updating. Tuning tip: activate EXPO for RAM 6000, update BIOS (recent AGESA), Resizable BAR activated, and possibly PBO + Curve Optimizer (negative) to improve performance/efficiency.

The graphics card was not recognised, only the one built into the CPU AMD Ryzen 7800X3D worked. The motherboard bios was dated 25/1/2016, which is abnormal for a recent motherboard. So I did a first update and then a 2nd (latest version). Everything now works very well. Super fast start-up and shutdown.
