I love the clips for the m.2 slots so I do not have to deal with screws that's nice. Also the board seems sturdy and not made cheap.

- muted aesthetic - easy to use BIOS - built-in WiFi and Bluetooth - good I/O selection

Product works well. Bios-flashback very easy to do. Fits everything I need and still have room for more.

Plenty of IO for the size, ryzen 5000 series support

Nice layout Easy bios flash Booted right away with 9800x3d PCIE 5.0 2 ssd spots with no PCIE 5.0 interference

other then one of my RGB pin was slightly bent but was able to straighten it out. other then that for the price this board is great. I got a white pc built so it look and perform amazing. I would definitely buy another one in the future.

Did a lot of research before deciding on the MSI X870E Tomahawk. It essentially gets a checkbox in all the factors I was considering; effective passive cooling, latest gen (as of this writing), ample expansion room for PCIe, LED diagnostics was not a necessity but a nice touch. Plenty of USB slots at rear (various generations) and ample fan connectors on MB. No issues with the BIOS, I like the improved BIOS functionality and appearance.

All features work perfectly. Has a built in gpu support bracket. Great stability.


Top notch gaming Motherboard Meets and exceeds all the specs for gaming and more 5 Year Warranty


-Plenty of connectors - Well designed BIOS with easy customization options. Setting fan curves and RAM speeds is no problem. -Nice build quality with a sturdy PCB. -Easy to install SSDs -3 USB-C connectors is appreciated

Excellent onboard features. Everything you could want on a motherboard. Beautiful graphics on VRM. Awesome accessories included

MSI products have always worked well for me and this motherboard is great just like the others I have used for my builds in the past.

lots of connectivity, more than most will need for a board this size, bios seems very full featured, but i'm not a tweaker, so i don't fiddle with the bios too much


Well thought out, great budget board!

No complaints about this motherboard. Setup was easy and all connections were logical and where they should be located on the board. 8000MT/s GSkill RAM booted up flawlessly and I was able to tighten the timings as well. Overclocking with the 9800X3D was easy and straightforward. Temps are great as well.

It has been 13 years since I last built up a PC but was forced to with Microsoft shutting down Windows 10. I've probably built 6 PCs from scratch since the 1980's but have upgraded dozens over the years - friends and churches. This is my second Gigabyte - all the others were Asus. Why are people complaining about the x16 bus having an optional split into 2 Nvme x4 plus an x8? It still gives you two other x4 Nvme (one being gen5). That allows plenty of storage for just about anyone. I can only see using these other two slots if you wanted to configure a RAID. So they gave an option that makes sense. I was lucky enough to score a 5070 GPU at MSRP. And by golly it sits on the x16 bus as gen5. My Nvme sits in the CPU slot as gen5x2. My other sits in the D slot as gen4x4. They both perform to their specs - so says Samsung magician. It's as good as it gets. I initially brought up the board with the internal Ryzen 9900 graphics. It works. I've utilized most of the front panel USB connections. As far as I can tell they are all working. I don't know what some reviewer meant by them not all working at once - if I encounter this, I'll update my review. I installed 2 32G sticks of DDR5600. I expected to have to go into BIOS and set it to 5600 but it adjusted automatically. My MB is in a 4U rack chassis. I have no need for RGB. (Seriously, what's the point?)

- Great price compared to other motherboards - No m.2 heatsink fan
