AM5 Might not be setting the World on fire in terms of sales right now, but the prices are dropping a little and now for those looking to build a brand new Gaming PC the AM5 platform is looking a little more attractive.
There are a few boards on the market right now that are under £200 (Jan 2023) but they are Micro ATX or even more limited on features than the B650 would normally be.
So this makes the MSI B650 Tomahawk Wifi a sensible choice now for ANY 7000 series CPU.
Some premium features are present like 2.5GB LAN, Premium ALC4080 audio chipset, 17 phase VRM setup 14+2+1 with 80 AMP chokes for great power delivery. Support for up to 6600mt/s DDR5 RAM and 3 PCIe Gen 4 m.2 slots.
There is a lot to like here and with a ton of fan headers and more USBs than you are likely to ever need, this ticks the right boxes for me, and that is ultimately why I SPENT MY OWN MONEY on it 👍

I suppose this must be like when AM4 launched. I had an AM3 mb and elected to get the FX8350 cpu in2018 as a cheaper upgrade ... yeah didnt know how daft an idea that was till much later. B550 seems to be chosing M2 or sata whereas B650 gives bigger choice of storage and faster Ram esp now M2 good value and DDR5 reducing in price. Love the idea of wifi being upgradeable too. Negative is how fragile the mb pins sound plus your usb issues! Thanks for reviewing Mike and Kath and look forward to seeing how tech evolves👍

Nice review and timely for me since I just purchased this mb for a my new build with a 7800x3d. Also appreciate your BIOS flash video. One question about the M.2 slots; will mounting SSD's in the first 2 slots affect the bandwidth for the GPU slot?

@mikesunboxing 7 ай бұрын

No that should be okay

@Niural 6 ай бұрын

No it won't affect the GPU slot. That's why I went for this mobo instead of B650 Carbon Wifi. I caught a sale where Carbon Wifi was just $25 more expensive than Tomahawk where I live. But with Carbon Wifi if you put M.2 ssd to either second or third slot, your GPU slot bandwidth goes to x8 which was deal breaker for me. They instead put 4 precious CPU lanes to second PCIE slot which is useless if you're never going to use that slot for soundcard or something.

I have been reading that Ryzen CPUs work well with 6000 MHz Rams, but when I look at the specifications of the motherboards that interest me like this one, they support 4800 or 5200 MHz as a maximum base speed, then by overclocking some you reach up to more than 7000 MHz. So my question is if there would be a problem if I use a ram with 6000 MHz as the base speed, will there be a problem?

@mikesunboxing 3 ай бұрын

you won't get DDR5 with a base speed of 6000 for a while yet. The default speeds and the XMP speeds are different, so a ram chip might be 5200 default but XMP to 6000. the lower speeds are sometimes referred to as JEDEC speed rather than XMP or EXPO speeds

Im torn between this and the mpg b560 edge wifi.. which to get ? Or theres not much difference between the 2 and just stick with the cheaper tomahawk.?

@mikesunboxing 6 ай бұрын

i preferred the edge personally, but they are very similiar

@kreamypie 6 ай бұрын

@mikesunboxing ended up getting the tomahawk since the edge was out of stock. The thing now is I am thinking what is the lowest value you can apply on curve optimizer. I'm already at -45 and it is running stable under load and at idle. But my cinebench r23 score is only at 17.7k. And I find people online getting over 18k with just setting PBO to enable.... everything is updated to latest bios and drivers though....

At the beginning i liked this board (i have b450 tomahawk and it worked flawlessly). But the B650 tomahawk has 0 PCIe gen5 connections. Not even an M2.0 . For the requested price it is unacceptable for me.
