Top Amazon Reviews
Executive TL?DR summary ------------------------------ Recommend. Buy this board as a perfectly acceptable AM4 core component for a business grade workstation. It reliably does what it's supposed to at acceptable temps (~50ºC +/- 5º charted, over a period of ~30 days), and with zero build gotcha's. I've not experienced any of the early adopter issues mentioned by others in the tech community; in particular no BIOS-related issues, nor any VRM heat issues. Note: My reviews are always in-depth, and aimed at experienced users in the tech community. You can ignore the rest if you're a normal person lol. ------------------------------ Components ------------------------------ New: MSI X570 Pro A, Ryzen 2700 3.2GHz CPU, 32GB DDR4 3200 GSkill Ripjaws SDRAM, Intel 660P 1TB NVMe m.280 SSD. Incoming: Asus GeForce GTX 1660 Evo GPU (DUAL-GTX1660S-O6G-EVO) Old: Phanteks Enthoo Pro M case, Thermaltake TPD-750M PS, Silverstone TD02-Lite cooler, various system fans, cables, drives (HDD, SSD, optical). ------------------------------ Resume ------------------------------ 30+ year IT veteran. I've built literally hundreds of PCs over the years. I was a retail system builder in the early days of PCs, and corporate in my middle IT period. I still consult. ------------------------------ Build Background ------------------------------ So. My old FX-based AM3 system had been exhibiting "issues" (random system shut-downs & failure to respond to power up) for many months. As I had an almost equally capable FX-based workstation, my PC workstation situation was dire, but not critical (I'm a consultant, so I always have several "lesser-but-working" alternatives to my main workstation). I hadn't had time to do the necessary "deep-dive" troubleshooting to determine the problem... and none of my usual bag-o'-tricks were effective. I mean, I highly suspected a heat issue of some sort, but my testing results were always ambiguous. I was hoping to get a couple of more years before a new build, but... Then, a client asked me to do a "super-build" for her over BF... so I took the opportunity to purchase the minimal (and least expensive) components to upgrade the existing build to current tech (and it's always nice to have spares for comparison testing when you do a new build). ------------------------------ Build issues ------------------------------ As always, I tested everything – including the MSI X570-A mainboard – "out of the box". Which meant testing components for two systems: my client's brand new build, and my re-build. Note: For the client system, I used better spec'ed components... she had a much higher budget than I did LOL. ... I built the client's system first... and rebuilt my "old" workstation afterwards (note: adding core components over an existing build is more complicated – and takes more time – than starting from a clean slate). I had zero issues with any components during testing, and build. ------------------------------ Result, impressions, and a surprise "solution to previous problem" ------------------------------ The mostly new AM4 re-build is a significant upgrade over the older AM3 system... the new Ryzen/AMD tech is more, umm, "fluid" in use, if you will. And faster, of course. Note: For business oriented workstations, "fast" is a relative term. With the adoption of SSD's a few years back – and the concomitant productivity gains – speed has simply not been a problem for office level equipment. The "surprise" bit is: I discovered the specific cause of the problems on the [now defunct] AM3 system. As it turned out... even using new core components, I was still getting random power-offs. ... so the problem was NOT the mainboard, memory, or CPU. My speculation at that point quickly centered on my older XFX R9 380 graphics card... which was easily swapped out with the new R580 in my client's PC. And. No more random power downs... the symptoms were (and had been) caused by excessive temps in the GPU. (It turns out that overheating in R9 380/390 series GPUs is a known issue, especially as those cards have aged.) ...hence, the incoming Asus GTX 1660 Super GPU mentioned early in the review. The good is... I suppose I can buy an inexpensive case and power supply, and maybe a new GPU (I haven't tried sorting out WHY it's overheating... and I've read suggestions that replacing the heat paste my fix things) and pretty much have another backup workstation. The jury is still out on that LOL... for now, I'm putting the old, still good components back in their boxes (yeah: I keep empty component boxes lol). ------------------------------ Criticisms, potential issues ------------------------------ Early system builder critiques focused on BIOS issues... this is kind of expected in new releases of major chipset-tech introductions (which the X570-series qualifies as), and my experience was with a mature BIOS (late Nov 2019 version)... so I regard early reviews as irrelevant. Pro reviewers of the MSI X570-A Pro board mainly focused on weaknesses in the VRM components and tech on the board, and the potentially inadequate heat-sinks. And I suppose if I was a gamer planning on over-clocking, I might have opted for the more expensive (by about $40) MSI Gaming rendition board used in my client build... but this was a budget interim build (that put off by 2-3 years my next tech build), so potential weaknesses overclocking wasn't of particular concern. ------------------------------ Final thoughts ------------------------------ I've closely monitored system temps (chipset, CPU, system, and GPU) via various AMD and MSI utilities like a hawk since the build went live... and the only problem was with my old, soon-to-be-replaced graphics card. Power up has been 24x7 with no new-component issues. Of interest to tech pro's is that I schlepped the existing boot NVMe m.280 onto the board... and (wonder-of-wonders) the existing Windows 10 Pro install (first boot of which was in 2016) had ZERO problems. I logged in, W10 thought about it for a minute or two, asked for a single restart, and the restart was gold. I was suspicious that replacing the mainboard, memory, and CPU didn't at least have licensing issues (if you've been around long enough, you know how picky Microsoft's activation algorithm's can be)... but... nothing. No issues. I didn't have to reactivate. Even the subsequent change GPU's didn't cause a problem. ... I think that was the one thing in the rebuild process that did actually come as a total "my-how-things-have-changed" surprise LOL. Anyways. As always, I'll update for any significant changes that trigger the need to reprise this review. If you have questions, post them as a comment.

Everything turned out alright, I guess. It crashed frequently with a Ryzen 7 3700X. I managed to install Windows but it just kept powering down on its own every few minutes. I suspected a bios problem. Actually I suspected a CPU problem, but a bios problem was easier to fix. I updated the bios from USB and it crashed partway through while outside of Windows. This corrupted the bios further so it would not POST. It is possible to use the button on the back of the board and a USB stick to update the bios even without turning all the way on or without a CPU. If you search and read MSI's manual (on a different, non-bricked computer) you will find instructions which you probably want to read carefully to avoid causing more damage. It didn't install, and it still didn't POST. I scratched my head and Googled around, and read somewhere that the board **ONLY RECOGNIZES CERTAIN BRANDS OF USB STICK** That's absurd and stupid and doesn't really make any sense, but I happened to have a big pile of different brands of USB sticks. The bios delivery stick that worked was an old SanDisk. Why? God, why do you allow bad things to happen to bad people? Doesn't matter, after successfully updating to the latest bios it not only made it past POST but never crashed again. Rock solid for a month and a half. Guess I don't need to return that CPU! Needing to RTFM and needing to try different USB sticks are hurdles most users will not clear. If you do, you get a board that's pretty okay. The M.2 slot is nice and very fast but most boards have that these days. Giving it 5/5 stars to see if Amazon is smart enough to detect negative reviews with positive stars, and because it would probably be fine if the manufacturers didn't ship it with an unusable bios.

This motherboard is great! Got a really good deal on it and am having no issues with it. Opted to get an x570 to pair with a ryzen 3600. x570 has access to all PCIE lanes, M.2 slots, and sata ports. Unlike some of the 4 series where if you use some of the slots, others are disabled. Would recommend updating to the latest bios immediately. Doesn't have all that extra RGB lights but I don't care for those. Works great with an RX 580 and 32GB of G. Skill 3200 mhz ram. Would recommend for the price! Only con is I don't really like the bios compared to some of the other MSI bios. I prefer the more basic looking scheme but just set it and forget it. Also default fan profile is a little noisy but you can fix that too.
