With the AM4 socket, this motherboard will house everything from the Ryzen range, such as the Ryzen 3, 5 and 7 series, including the 1800X. However, today we’ll be testing it with the Ryzen with Vega 2400.

At an MSRP of £109, the board is going up against Gigabyte’s AB350N-Gaming WiFi, and the latter is certainly a little more attractive with a less obvious brown PCB and some red details compared to the slightly generic black theme going on with the MSI board.

But compared to boards supporting AMD’s massive Ryzen Threadripper CPUs, they are a bargain. MSI’s X399 Gaming Pro Carbon AC, for example, sells for more than $380.

The four DIMM slots ought to be coloured in dual-channel mode, though if you do put two sticks next to each other – in single-channel configuration – a BIOS screen pops up and informs you of the potential faux pas
