MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk Gaming Motherboard + AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Desktop Processor (AM4, DDR4, PCIe 4.0, USB 3.2 Gen 2, ATX)

Fantastic deal. Such a great deal in fact that I decided to build a whole new PC. It was about time for me to upgrade. So far I have no issues. Build quality is good and looks fine. Obviously this isnt going to be a TikTok aesthetic motherboard or anything. As for gaming, I can run anything with no problems with multiple tabs open in the background while in a voice call with friends and streaming.

I was gonna go with a cheaper MATX in previous series AMD Ryzen. I ever asked her. I saw a combo deal that had the tomahawk motherboard included. I just had to get it. The Tomahawk with this AMD series CPU had great value for the money I spent. Matching it with a good graphics card and you’re on your way to high 1080p gaming. Pretty fast CPU.

Easy build with no issues

I bough these as a pair and the mono bios is not compatible with that cpu ! Check bios update and flash it for full performance.

Paired with my GTX 3070Ti and using the out-of-the-box PBO (AMD Ryzen Master software), I play all of my games on the highest graphics settings and everything is absolutely perfect! For me, I can't image needing to pay the extra $ for a higher end CPU (couple hundred dollars cheaper than the 5950x). I'm sure I could use custom overclocking, but honestly, I just don't see the need as the Precision Boost Overdrive works just fine.

I was building a PC for VR and it works fairly well it’s having a little trouble with the D ram it doesn’t wanna recognize both sides so I’m at half 32 instead of 64 board is very nice though it’s a sweet set up for the price no doubt

Assembled and runs with no issues...loading the bios was actually easy.

It's a really amazing processor but it gets really hot on a common-use basis, you will require an upgraded cooling solution for it if you intend to get the best of it.
