MSI Performance Gaming AMD X470 Ryzen 2ND and 3rd Gen AM4 DDR4 DVI HDMI Onboard Graphics CFX ATX Motherboard (X470 GAMING PLUS Max)

I've checked reviews, reddit threads and done my research before deciding to purchase this board. The one review here that gave it low rating is not justified. The board is great, works flawlessly and the only issue I had with it was that I could hear buzzing noise in headphones when playing graphically intensive games. Fixed that by removing the I/O plate from my case and the plastic piece above the I/O ports on the board. This was just a small caveat from such an excellent value board. The board has great VRM capabilities and unless you are planning to overclock 3900x you will not reach its limits.

Just bought this and it arrived early, which was a bonus. But after that it went all down hill. fitted the amd 2600x with no problem. Installed the corsair lpx ddr 3200 ram x2. Fitted the backplate, so far so good. My corsair tx550 gold psu next & then the mornal stuff after that. Fired it up and no go when it came to getting into the bios. I removed 1 stick of ram, nothing. Then the other. Still no go.So I went to the MSI site about the BIOS, and it looks like this has the version 1. But the s/n date is for August 2018. Which should work. Then looked to see what came with the board and mine had 1 sata cable missing. I then inspected board very cloesly and found some pins were slightly bent. The box itself had a torn off sticker. Thius makes me think this a rma board and I was sold it as a new one. I have had to order up another cpu (older version) to see if that will let me update the bios. So this has not been a sweet purchase so far :(
