Great motherboard, I've been using it for almost a year. Overclocked the memory from 3200 to 3600 without any trouble. Also overclocked the Ryzen 2700 to 4.1, which is the max. No crashes, everything is okay. The smart cooler also works very well. Great acceleration, design, clear UEFI. Not found  Nikolay: |
Built a system from scratch using MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX (paired with 3700X) – everything's going smoothly. I recommend updating the BIOS through M-Flash right from the BIOS itself. With the latest BIOS versions, the CPU temperature in AIDA 64 Extreme stress test didn't exceed 44 degrees (Be quiet Dark Rock 4 cooler). I think even with the stock cooler, it'll be OK, though it might be a bit noisier and slightly warmer in demanding games and processes. Add extra fans for intake and exhaust in the case, and you’ll be in good shape. The G.Skill Trident Z Neo 16GB DDR4 16GTZNC (XMP DDR4-3600MHz CL16-19-19-39 1.35V - 16GB (2x8GB) – was set up with one button using the profile on the specified timings. I'm planning to decrease secondary timings and set it to 3800, as knowledgeable people say it starts up without issues and passes all tests - memory latency improves. I got the M.2 NVME drive from Chinese Kingchuxing 256GB (Phison E12 PCIe Gen 3x4 NVMe) - it maintains R/W 3100/2700 parameters for me (preferably choose M.2 with cache, search and read about it). I bought everything else on Computeruniverse – the price difference is significant compared to prices in Russia. If my review helped, I'd be glad if you use my promo code (you get a €5 discount, and I get bonuses) - FWAIZ1B One of the best VRM cooling systems. Features all modern ports and connectors, M.2. Supports Gen 2 (3000 series Ryzen) right out of the box. Not detected  Denis Vasilevskiy: use MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX less than month |
My sad story about the B450 Tomahawk Max. Maybe it will help someone. The old motherboard died. Not that I knew much about PCs, but thanks to YouTube, I found out that Tomahawk is almost the best B board. Okay – we'll take it. Along with it, I got RAM (3200 16GB, 2 pieces of 8GB each) and an R5 2600. It was housed in a 1050 and had an old 600-watt PSU. Assembled – everything works fine. Enabled the memory profile at 3200 in the BIOS, didn't overclock the processor. The first 5 days there were no problems. On the 6th day, the CPU LED lights up. The coolers spin, but the system doesn't start. Turning the PC off and on and restarting doesn't help. Removed the BIOS battery – everything worked. 4 days everything was ok, and again. Then this started to happen every 2-3 days and not even solving it with just the battery. I began doing all the standard "plug-unplug" procedures. I tried with different RAM sticks and without it, without SSD, without a GPU, removed all overclocking, pulled out and re-inserted the processor – all to no avail. Updated the BIOS from 3 to 3.3 – worthless. Thought the PSU was already dying, bought a Seasonic 620W. That didn't help either. After 3 weeks, the PC didn't want to start at all. I got tired of it and took it to the store. They sent it to service. I also suspected the processor or memory, but even MSI support said it was a problem with the board (by the way, the support staff were adequate and explained everything properly). Then I took the GPU, SSD, and PSU and tested them on a friend's PC, and everything worked perfectly. The problem is precisely with the board. This is the board of my pain and suffering. And now in the comments, I see that it's not just mine. They really screwed up on this. Yes, I'm talking to you MSI. You threw a batch on the market where every 3rd board is faulty. Everything is fine as long as the pc is off Thanks to this board and msi, I can lose my job Stas Sebov: use MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX less than month |
