MAG X870E Tomahawk WiFi Motherboard, ATX - Supports AMD Ryzen 9000/8000 / 7000 Processors, AM5-80A SPS VRM, DDR5 Memory Boost 8400+ MT/s (OC), PCIe 5.0 x16, M.2 Gen5, Wi-Fi 7, 5G LAN

This mobo is matched up with a Ryzen 7 9700X, XFX RX 9070 video card, Noctua NH-D15 G2 LBC cooler, 32 GB DDR5 RAM and 2x 1TB each NVMe SSD's. Windows 11 on one drive and Linux Mint Cinnamon on the other. All tucked into a MONTECH Sky Two GX, E-ATX Mid Tower Case. Depending on prices remaining stable or going UP again, I wanted a board that would be ready for CPU and video card upgrade. That leaves all the USB 4 ports and the Wifi 7 capability that who knows WHEN I will actually max those out? Just a fantastic motherboard. Plenty of headers. I'm not into RGB lighting but the options are there for you crazy light people!Finally, I was on the Microsoft Windows 10 Extended Security Updates program. I had to give it up and move on to Windows 11. This board has a lot of Driver issues with Windows 10. This motherboard is geared towards future updates. I suggest using Rufus 4.14 to create your Windows 11 installer USB drive. It made a huge difference in cutting down Windows 11's massive bloatware.

The MSI MAG X870E Tomahawk WIFI is a phenomenal motherboard. It is packed with high-end features like PCIe 5.0, Wi-Fi 7, and dual USB4 40Gbps ports. Setup was incredibly smooth thanks to the DIY-friendly additions like the EZ PCIe release button and tool-less M.2 heatsinks. The power delivery handles high-end Ryzen processors effortlessly, and it runs cool and stable under load. For a flagship X870E chipset, the value is unbeatable.

Runs great. Looks great. Easy to install. Easy to update. 1or 2 hours to install and configure completely for me. Everything worked right away or simply had to be easily setup in bios. It was easy to update all the drivers ( You may have to install all the chipset drivers individually instead of checking all the boxes at once) Easy to update bios firmware. Process mostly went as flawless as can be hoped for. . Every component I installed had seamless compatibility and was all plug n play'. E model has plenty of high speed ports and 2 additional nvme m.2 slots.

Great board very strong build as advertised was very excited to get this easy installation love the black on black honestly over kill for what I bought it for witch means a lot more room to expand if you choose to

So far so good. No issues everything is working like a dream (of course if that changes then I will check back into this).Installing is a breeze was actually surprised it being my 1st time on how easy it was (naturally instructions were a bit lacking but yeah youtube exists). Decent price I did get it on monthly payments and almost complete now. Connectivity I havent had any issues with that. Compatible so far with everything :)Would I say it was worth the purchase well to me it was ....yes I know so many options but this I am happy with.No bent pins and sorry the working pic is odd ...fish tank blur lol.

I love the motherboard, bought it again in store. Through Amazon, though, the package arrived damaged (and looked open). Could’ve been UPS, but then I opened it and found a bent fan pin. Didn’t need the fan pin, but returned it anyway because I bought it new. It was probably a returned motherboard that they sent out again. No clue, but works great, delivery was questionable.

It's a good product and it runs Ryzen 9950x + Radeon 9070 RX quite well. I didn't notice any hard defects after about a month. A dedicated display for post codes makes undervolting and memory tuning way easier. The BIOS and CMOS reset buttons are very convenient too.The product is not perfect though especially if you have a separate sound card and run dual boot.1. The CPU undervolting is limited to either setting offset to a predefined curve or a constant voltage and frequency (per my understanding). A fine grained curve control would work way better for high end CPUs. I want to undervolt the high frequency and leave the low part of the curve alone. This mobo doesn't give me such control. I'm not a PC builder so maybe there are no mobos with such fine grained control.2. The lower PCI express slot (3rd from the top) is low enough to cause problems with physical space. I can't use it for my sound card since it overlaps with the lower PSU connector. And it's not a big fat sound card at all.3. The other PCI express slot (2nd from the top) works well for the sound card but it's getting close to the GPU and it may limit the air intake for the GPU cooling. If you buy a good GPU with 3 slot cooling solution, the sound card in a second PCIe slot can almost completely cover the air intake.4. My sound card suddenly stops working. It doesn't happen very often but I have to reboot my PC to bring it back to life.5. WiFi 6 is very flaky on Fedora Linux. Some days it works. Some days it can't connect and I have to downgrade to the 2.4Ghz one. It may be something related to the aggressive Fedora update strategy so I hope it starts working consistently one day.6. BIOS update broke my dual boot. I usually configure grub to load windows and make grub the default boot loader in BIOS. The BIOS update reset my default boot loader to Windows but it's not a big problem since I can revert it and set grub back to default one in BIOS. The weird part is that grub lost ability to load windows and grub update didn't help. I'm using F11 to choose the boot sequence explicitly now. It's not a hard "blocker" problem but I miss my convenient grub managing all of boot loading.

Tengo esta misma placa madre en mi pc , con ryzer 7 9800x3d , 64 gb de ram , a 6000 mhz cl30 un ssd m.2 gen 5 y una rx 9070 xt y les digo chicos nada q ver con una play station , me encanta el armado , con windows 11 pro , funciona de 10 puntos , les recomiendo esta placa base 100 % seguro y muy fácil de actualizar la bios , te descargas msi center y listo

Placa excelente, sem qualquer problema até o momento, deixou a memória Ram estável em 6000mhz e funcionou perfeitamente com o Ryzen 7 9800x3d.

ممتاز جداً

Honestly pleasently surprised with the motherboard. I had an MSI board ages ago that gave me a lot of issues but so far this has been nothing but great. Solid I/O, VERY nice UEFI interface (the best I've tried so far), and effortless OC.Building the system was super smooth, the motherboard has several little things like a button to release the first PCIe slot without having to fiddle with your fingers underneath your graphics card, and tool-less installation of M.2 SSDs.I think given the situation with some other brands having either terrible support (looking at you, ASUS), or literally killing CPUs, MSI is probably the most solid option this generation. And in a world of incredibly expensive motherboards, this is a pretty good value compared to others.

Excellent product and happy to report 0 issues paired with the 9800X3D on latest BIOS, this MB has excellent build quality and VRMs, it has a nice and clean BIOS menu and it had various RAM and CPU built in features however admittedly so do other brands, for the Price it's hard to recommend anything more expensive as this Motherboard would satisfy 99% of gamers for their needs and save some money to purchase a game or upgrade something else.

A placa é absurda de boa, porém infelizmente o dissipador do M.2 veio solto e “sambando” dentro da embalagem. Eu avaliei e como foi uma compra internacional, decidi ficar com a placa mesmo assim. Estou monitorando e qualquer problema irei acionar o RMA.
