Q & A

Of course, design is a matter of personal preference, so feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section. Plus Gigabit LAN: Onboard 2.5G, Gigabits LAN with LAN manager, delivers the better online network experience without lag. Memory Boost: Advanced technology to deliver pure data signals for the best performance, stability and compatibility. Memory Support DDR5 6400+(OC)/6200(OC)/6000(OC)/5800(OC)/5600(OC)/5400(OC)/5200(OC)/5000(OC)/4800(JEDEC) MHz They are perfect if you are on a budget and don’t need a vast amount of SATA ports or USB ports. In my opinion, if you want to buy a budget-oriented setup, this is your go-to.

Orange Line = top recommendation among its key competitors (form factor, price segment, features, etc.). Having taken a look at each board individually, it's time to get to testing. For testing all B650 boards, we're using the Gigabyte Aorus C500 Glass case with the Aorus WaterForce X 360mm AIO. I have to say, now that I’m comparing both side by side, the first one is starting to grow on me, but let’s leave that behind. For the stress test, we're using the Ryzen 9 7950X and for the load, Cinebench R23, which was looped for an hour, at which point we're reporting the maximum PCB temperature, again recorded using K-Type thermocouples. Here we can see clearly how the chipset limits the features of the motherboard, as it only has so many USB ports. Fortunately, it also has a flash bios button, so it’ll be easier to update the BIOS if needed. Lastly, the antennae are basically the same as the x670-P, very cheap looking with also cheap materials but do the job as it is supposed to. Final thoughts When to buy it

Price comparison

Lightning Gen4 Solution: The latest Gen4 PCI-E and M.2 solution with up to 64GB/s bandwidth for maximum transfer speed.

The Wi-Fi has native support to WIFI 6Ghz, and the wireless module is pre-installed in the M.2 (Key-E) slot. Literally the same as the x670-P. Another thing that is the same on this board is Bluetooth® 5.3. However, once we reach the audio codec, the similarity falls apart. While this design may not be to everyone’s taste, I do appreciate the absence of the grey area with the MSI logo that was present on the X670-P. Speaking of futureproof, if you plan on making use of a PCIe 5.0 graphics card and NVME slots, 50 dollars more for the Msi Pr o X670-P Wifi doesn’t look like a bad deal in the long run. Memory Earlier this week, we reviewed the Msi Pro X670-P Wifi. That motherboard really surprised us with its cooling performance, amount of M.2 slots – and most importantly, its affordable price. The only downside of it came from all the issues we faced with its BIOS. It was not a very good first impression of this MSI series if you’d ask me, but we still hope that one was an exception.Starting with the NVME, it has 2x M.2 ports, but only the first one has protection against heat. As it is placed right underneath the graphics card, this shield will protect it against the heat the card will generate.
