There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
But MSI? Are you reading this? First, thank you for taking the care to build an excellent product and making it look good. Sincerely. Lovely job overall and I am very, very grateful for it.
That having been said. . . .
If you want a bit of constructive criticism, I've got some. Don't worry: it's quite minor.
In an otherwise just-about flawless board with stunningly good firmware, I am dumbfounded and utterly perplexed by the following:
1) AMD virtualization extensions are considered an "overclocking setting". I expected this in the advanced option section, or maybe security (thought that would have been weird too.) But overclocking? Did that entire menu begin existence as the "Way too complicated for the casual user" menu? Because that would make sense. I'm not aware of virtualization extensions being in any way useful to an overclocker. Maybe I'm naieve?
One could expect to find virtualization extensions in the CPU settings menu. It's not there. It's an overclocking setting. Huh.
So -- with an otherwise flawless menu system with a degree of control I'm frankly astounded and delighted by, this utterly stumps me. It could well be one of the only less-than-perfect decisions made in the design of the firmware for this board. The other one is:
2) The AMD virtualization extensions were labeled: "SVM" without any real clarification in the menu. Using the search function for "Virtual" did not find "SVM". There was not any apparent documentation or hints to lead to this option. Search in firmware is a luxury and a very, very good idea. If I could humbly make a crituque, I'd suggest making sure that "Virtualization", "Virtual", "AMD-V", and similar terms all point to SVM. Please.
Adding to this, Google will only help if you mention the mainboard model / chipset, manufacturer, and desired function together. And that because people have posted related information on forums.
SVM, if you google it, is an AI / machine learning algorithm. Sure, there is "VM" in there, but I was looking for "AMD-V" like VirtualBox or VMWare call it.
So, SVM is supposed to stand for "Secure Virtual Machine." That's fine. And I should have thought of that. But if one is already not expecting to find this in the overclocking settings menu, then seeing this zip past on the screen will not excite recognition immediately.
It took me a little while and one good google querry to figure this out. And I feel like I should have figured this out without even that. It took all of, what, 10 minutes from me going to knowing I had a problem to being delighted again.
So, really, that is not a reason not to get this mainboard. It is absolutely wonderful, from layout to performance to stability to configuration -- at least so far. The workmanship is excellent and it is priced very competitively.
I love it. Let's be clear: this motherboard has made me happier than any other I've ever owned.
Except for the above very small, easily resolved things, I so far think this thing is perfect. I'm writing about this because: A) somebody might read this and realize they really DO NOT NEED TO RETURN A PERFECTLY GOOD MAINBOARD, and B) With all the very, very good decisions made and the overall terrific job done on this product, this one strange placement of this option is rather amusing.
But yes, if you're wondering: with SVM enabled, this thing does the job admirably. The performance is flawless as far as I have found so far. This board may be gamer-centric -- especially in marketing -- but general productivity and programming are supported just as well. If you want a solid, quality platform to process just about anything, the value and flexibility this board offers is most welcome.
Get this board. You won't regret it. Just remember to Google wisely if you can't find what you're looking for in setup.
Most motherboards for a 2700x are going to be more pricey because you bought a top dog processor, it is to be expected. However, this motherboard offers a fantastic price comparatively speaking to any other x470 motherboards.
So whats catch? Why would you buy a more expensive motherboard?
The MSI x470 Gaming Plus does cut corners in certain areas that may or may not matter to you.
1. It is a 4 phase VRM, that means it is the same VRM structure as the B450 Tomahawk that is made for the 2600x(6
core 12 thread processor). Ideally you would want more then 4 phases for an 8 core processor like the 2700x
- Although this VRM structure will work fine for the 2700x, you will lose some overclocking ability.
- To make up for the lack of phases, the motherboard has 2 mosfets per phase versus 1 mosfet per phase. In theory
this is more effective at power management and cooling.
- "Big" phases means that the little round transistors/resistors are over-sized, allowing more cooling efficiency.
- Personally everything works great for me and I do not overclock very much. I do believe this motherboard can
handle a small amount of overclocking anyways.
2. There isn't can IO cover. A more expensive motherboard will indeed have an IO Cover.
- IO covers can help with cooling and dust. They are also aesthetically pleasing to the human eye.
- I didn't even realize there wasn't a cover until I had already bought it and installed the motherboard.
- An alternative would be the MSI Gaming Pro, this motherboard is exactly the same in every way except it has
different colors and an IO Cover. I bought the Gaming Plus and I had a friend get the Gaming Pro. We both
agreed that it looks better, to us, without an IO Cover. Plus(pun intended), an IO cover wouldn't have fit in my
case.
3. Various things such as heat sinks will be smaller and/or not on this motherboard. Such as m.2 slot and RAM controller. Like I said before, I am not an overclocking kind of person so those little extras are not worth the extra $80 or so for me to have. I have probably missed some important difference but I feel like these are the big ones.
If you want extreme overclocking then you may want to look elsewhere. Although, this motherboard can handle some overclocking. Also, this motherboard wont have all the pretty heat sinks and RGB lightning that a better motherboard would have.
Pros:
- Good build quality
- Easy to use bios
- Good instruction and easy to install
- Great price to performance
- Nice little RGB lighting on the side
Cons:
- VRM is kind of disappointing. Actually it is miss advertised on the MSI Website.
- A red matching IO Cover would have been nice.

Un procesador Ryzen 5 2400G.
Dos módulos de memoria RAM (8 gigas cada uno) a 2666 MHz.
Un disco duro de estado sólido NVMe de 250 GB.
Una fuente de poder 600W.
Windows 10, versión 1903, May 2019 Update
Ventajas
1. La computadora enciende muy rápido (unos segundos y ya se puede ocupar).
2. Es muy estable, aún trabajando con varios programas a la misma vez.
3. La calidad de imagen en pantalla es muy buena para reproducir videos en HD, incluso sin que le metiera una tarjeta de video adicional (el Ryzen 5 2400G ya incluye gráficos). No la he probado con video juegos, pero para videos, películas en HD y en general, para trabajar, la imagen es muy buena.
4. Tiene varios conectores SATA (seis en total) para conectarle varios discos duros o unidades de estado sólido.
5. El sonido es de alta calidad, además de tener muy buen volumen.
Desventajas
No le he encontrado hasta ahorita.
Sugerencias
Lo único que si sugiero es que hay que actualizar los controladores de la tarjeta manualmente, descargándolos desde el sitio oficial de MSI, ya que los que vienen en el disco incluido con la tarjeta madre no funcionan muy bien con la última actualización de Windows 10 (versión 1903, May 2019 update).
Comento esto ya que cuando se actualizó la computadora a dicha versión del sistema operativo la pantalla empezó a parpadear y a sacar un mensaje de "Modo no compatible, ajustar resolución", sobre todo después de regresar del estado de suspensión, de apagado de pantalla y regresar a imagen, o cuando ponía un video en pantalla completa y cerraba el reproductor, esta situación se presentaba promedio de tres a cuatro veces por día.
Pero esto se solucionó por completo después de que le actualizara los controladores en el sitio oficial de MSI, y hasta ahorita no ha vuelto a fallar después de varios días de probarlo, aún con un uso más intensivo.
Conclusión.
Recomiendo esta tarjeta madre ampliamente, ya que las prestaciones son increíbles, y la situación del parpadeo de pantalla se soluciona fácilmente descargando los controladores apropiados desde el sitio Web del fabricante.
This motherboard also sports more fan hookups than you can shake a stick at. On top of your CPU cooler, there is a slot to control your pump fan (if you liquid cool), as well as 4 slots for additional fan's (that you can control as well).
This board also features an insane amount of USB 3.1 ports. There are 4 Gen1 ports on the back, as well as 2 Gen2 ports (perfect for VR). However, they also added the option for two USB 3.0+ connections for the front panel as well. I don't think I've ever had so many USB ports in my life!
Performance wise, this motherboard pairs unbelievably well with the second generation Ryzen processors. The BIOS is beautiful and easy to navigate, however I did have one issue. After booting for the first time, I couldn't get beyond the BIOS, as the system wouldn't select any of my hard drives to boot from (nor could I select any as well). Save yourself some trouble, and immediately press F6 when you boot into the BIOS for the first time. This will setup y our BIOS for Optimal settings (basic of course), which will get your base hardware configured properly. After that, hit Game Mode for a beautiful 450mhz speed increase, and away you go. No to mention, MSI's software allows you to enter/exit game mode as needed, and you can even switch the performance based on what you are planning to do (video editing, watching movies, etc.).
I could literally go on for days about how great this motherboard is. If you are putting together a new Ryzen build, I can't recommend MSI enough. I've never had any issues with any other MSI product I purchased, and I've always found their hardware to be built with the highest level of quality. I would definitely buy again, and again, and again.
I'd have no problems with buying again. The only issue that I may have is that the RGB is not ARGB so it doesn't communicate with my case. Everything else is working fine.
