- Great for board for the price at the time of purchase - Mutaqeen, 23 June 2021
I bought this board early January/February 2020, great price at the time. It was either between this or the B450 Tomahawk, which has the same build quality and VRM. I chose this board based on availability and price (also it came with Monster Hunter World) at the time, excellent purchase. Software works well with no issues, managed to set XMP profile to 3200mhz still running at this speed with no issues. RAM is the Corsair Vengeance Rgb Pro White CPU is AMD 3500X beautiful all products all round.
- Great but costly - Thomas, 26 March 2020
Great board. RGB zones can be controlled individually . The software that controls the RGB headers and Motherboard RGB can also do overclocking and system FAN settings and well as other tricks. I found it easy to use with no issues of program stability as i have found with previous MSI software.
The VRM on the board is very very well cooled and provides great overclocking stability.
Overall a very good motherboard. Solid build quality and good value, if you need wifi and bluetooth built in.
If you do not need the wifi and BT, you might be better off with the B450 Tomahawk, as the build quality and VRM are the same, just without the extra features of the Carbon.
Still very happy with the Carbon. - great product - Bertus, 29 October 2019
Overall great performance. I chose this mobo for my very first PC build/entry-level gaming PC, and I think I made an excellent choice. This board sports a very well thought VRM design, without the bell and whistles of flagship motherboards but with solid thermal performance
I'm happy with the support on their web page. Make sense, at least for me. The board feels substantial and sturdy. I'm in no way a professional reviewer, but the built quality it quite decent. I feel that they should drop the price on this board a little bit more, since its was a complicated to download the Nahimic Audio Software. If you care for the audio, I'll tell you: its really good! And if you want to take the full potential of it, download the Nahimic Software from the Windows Store. Don't bother downloading it from the MSI support page. Save the time. But, while you're on the MSI support page, do yourself a favor and download their proprietary software for the board. I took a gamble expecting bloatware, I was wrong. It works. The App Manager its a convenient way to keep all of their software organized. The Live Update 6 made it easy to update the drivers after the Windows installation. (I know Windows update the drivers too, but I wanted to play safe).
It has a pretty good layout for the fan pins and the RGB its a nice accent. My ideal motherboard would have been this board without the RGB- I don't need the lights, pass that savings to the consumer MSI. The feature of the motherboards on the capacitors area, the audio, the convenience of the 2 NVMe and the integrated WiFi was my main reasons for my purchase.
