One of the relatively affordable gaming motherboards with an AM4 processor socket and an AMD X470 chipset. It is an upgraded version of the successful and well-balanced 2018 model MSI X470 GAMING PLUS. It differs from it by the full support of all processors with the Zen2 microarchitecture without the additional operation of updating the BIOS microcode. Positioned as a mid-range product designed for operation with AMD Ryzen 3/5/7/9 processors of the first, second or third generation based on Matisse/Pinnacle Ridge/Summit Ridge cores, APUs with integrated Radeon Vega (Raven Ridge/Picasso) and low-cost CPU Athlon Zen (Raven Ridge).

The MSI X470 GAMING PLUS MAX motherboard features a reinforced 10-phase CPU power subsystem with VRM heatsinks. Supports basic and advanced overclocking functionality, suitable for long-term operation of the system in the overclocking mode of its key components. Suitable for assembling high-performance gaming systems and multiGPU configurations using 2-Way AMD CrossFireX technology.

Supports the installation of 4 DDR4-2933 memory modules with a total capacity of up to 64 GB (including those with support for AMD Memory Profiles technology). Equipped with two full-speed M.2 ports and six SATA3 connectors. With the Realtek 8111H network controller, it handles network traffic perfectly, while the Realtek ALC892 eight-channel HDA codec provides analogue and digital optical signal output.

How to choose a motherboard?Motherboard is the main part of any computer. Here's how to choose the right one for work, play and entertainment
Better buy a motherboard from gigabyte.

After six months of use, the computer started turning on intermittently, and then it stopped working altogether. I took the motherboard in for warranty and after 45 days was told that the product was defective. At least they returned the money, thank you for that.
- Chipset
- Power circuits
- BIOS
- The motherboard turned out to be defective.
- The system was unstable when overclocking the RAM above 3200 MHz.

I should have just gone with a regular one, not an MSI.
no
i managed to overclock the memory to 3200 with 4 sticks. The Ballistix memory BL2K8G32C16U4B with XMP 3200 causes sound to disappear in games. Basically, it's money down the drain.

Overall I liked my mother
6 April 2021 
I wanted to mine on it, there were 5 1070 cards, and I shoved this way and that, and changed Windows, and updated, and one at a time and without 4g..... in the end I realized that the cards only work in pci x 16, through risers or so doesn’t matter, but in PCI x1, even if they are detected, they crash at the next reboot with error 43... As a result, 3 out of five cards work, but the problem is definitely not in the mother, on other am4s it’s the same, I’ll continue to fight, I’m sinning on the riser (version 6 black for Molex) .... Assembly on Ryzen 2600, one 8GB RAM, 120 SATA SSD, Win 10, 850 Superflower unit. If anyone knows how to help, please let me know, I’m interested in the opinion of practitioners
