MSi - B450M A Pro Max - Micro ATX Motherboard - Unboxing and Overview

[@thebritishnoob390]

Holy poop feels like ive just watched a professional video with the way you edited it top class enjoyed the vid

[@luvstellauk]

I used this board for my first build, Ryzen 5 3400G, Sabrent 256GB M.2 NVMe drive for OS, Kingston 480GB SSD for storage and 2 x 8 GB of DDR4 3200 RAM, my intention was for a general use family PC which it does very well.

[@odmjay]

What is the size cooler I need for the motherboard ?

[@luvstellauk]

@@odmjay Stock cooler that comes with the CPU will be fine plus I used the stock rear case fan as exhaust and three 120mm fans in the front of the case but it's really overkill.

[@lumen2161]

@@luvstellauk can i know the different between the systm fan header and cpu fan header.if i needed to add more fan for the case which should i use? sorry im new in building pc.

[@hardrod6989]

Bro, I am confused. 1) How is this b450m A Pro Max different from the b450m Pro M2 Max ? 2) And which of these would support the AMD Athlon 3000g straight out of the box without a bios update. Thanks in advance.

[@gman6055]

@@ClickTechUK you don't think there's problems with the M.2 slot with the graphics card (Nvidia 3070) getting in the way?

[@GuRuGeorge03]

Thanks for the review, it's great, simple and to the point. I couldn't find anything like this anywhere else!

[@LawrenceAC]

Why you guys keep saying it only supports 3200 Mhz ram? On the official site is written: "Speed memory supported: 1866,2133,2400,2667,2800,2933,3000,3066,3200,3466,3733,3866,4000,4133 MHz. " Is this an error or a misunderstanding of mine?
