Best So far

I love this board, love the black with green. Easy to setup as well with the easy slot for the gpu. 4 nvme's are a bonus and with gen5 with speeds up to 14k what else can you possibly ask for. I put 128ddr5 6400 on mine with no issues with posting. Just remember when installing your ram that you put the first one in the correct dimm first, read the manual or dowload it from msi website. I have never had any issues with any tomahawk series. All i need now is the new 5000 series of gpu's lol.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best Mobo for AMD

I purchased this motherboard because it is one of the few that does not force you to lane share with the GPU.
As long as you go into the BIOS and disable/lower USB 40Gbps Type-C ports on the back; the PCIE 5 will not share and you can use the full speed of the GPU X16 and PCIe 5.0 for nvme.
MSI has always been top of the game in Motherboards, GPUs and more..
Recommended with AMD 9800x3d

I got MSI's x870 Tomahawk as part of a promotion. It has a ton of great features and the installation process was very easy. Would recommend to anybody building a high-end PC.

Did everything I needed!

I wanted a board that didn't have rgb and this was basically the only board that had no rgb at all. Very simple design that packs tons of features. I was able to populate all my nvme slots plus run a capture card without any issues. The bios is pretty good but does need some work on msi's end. Overall very satisfied with this motherboard. It really does pack what most people need.

Great X870 Board!

After a lot of research, its apparently a common thing for X870 boards to split the PCIe x16 lane to x8 if a couple of the M2 slots are taken, but not this board. Thankfully, MSI doesn't do this. For the price, 5G lan port, Wifi 7, etc. Its perfect!

Really nice motherboard for the price, it's the first time I've had a motherboard with the led debug display feature and have found it to be extremely useful. the m.2 quick releases are a really great feature as well. I was able to update the bios without any issues and have been pretty pleased with this motherboard so far,

MSI X870 exceed expectations
on May 3, 2025

This board and the Ryzen 7 x3d deployed flawlessly for me. I'd set up a dual boot for Mint and W11. Mint struggled initially with the WiFi deployment and was resolved within a day by the Mint community. This board/processor combo is preforming beyond expectations. The build quality is excellent. Fitment in the 4000d case with an Artic 360 and the 9070xt is excellent.
My only complaint is the location of a pair of M.2 5x4 channels directly under the GPU. Servicing the drives will require the GPU to be removed or you're gonna struggle with/endanger the hardware you're working on and around.
I would recommend this to a friend!
