I am not a gamer, but my 18 kids, and kid's kids are! Being a great Grandpa, I have to keep up with my family. So this MSI B450PVDHMAX AMD Ryzen 3000 (B450M PRO-VDH MAX) motherboard and Ryzen 3 3200 CPU fits that need nicely. I added 16 Gb of DD$ RAM, and PRESTO! A terrific PC gaming system! The built-in M.2 SSD system drive really makes a terrific FAST system. I love it! Plus, I purchased a T-Mobile Home Internet system with 150 Gb network speed, and it all works together very nicely. If I were any happier, I'd be illegal! ;-)

at first I was a little sceptical because I wanted a full-sized motherboard but I couldn't wait for the full atx version to be available so I grabbed this one instead. I needed a motherboard that supported 3000 series ryzen and this was the one available at the moment. in the past, saying micro atx motherboards meant getting a cheap, slow performing and featureless one but I can say I'm more than pleased with it. It has all the bells and whistles as its bigger siblings, and has the same quality which MSI is known for putting into its boards. plus, it supports all ryzen processors, including the 3000 series without bios flashing. all this at a very affordable price.

Motherboard is fantastic. Supports Ryzen 3000 series chips, right out of the box. Nothing required. Just a few minutes in the BIOS and I was mildly overclocked, with my RAM running at it's advertised frequency, and I was off to the races. I'm not sure there's a better board for the money. That being said, it does take a while to post. I wait longer for a post screen than for Windows to boot from my SSD. It's hardly noticable though. I'm just picky. I took a gamble on a cheap board and I'm actually very impressed. I would recommend this to anyone.

It works pretty well and it's cheap, the documentation isn't great but that's MSI's fault

Dropped in Ryzen 3600 and 3600mhz DDR4. Set XMP and adjusted fan curves to preven instaant fan ramping and it’s all running perfectly at 31C ambient.
