I recently installed the ASRock B850 STEEL LEGEND WIFI motherboard and have been really impressed with its build quality and overall performance. Im running an 9800x3d that I overclocked without any issues, along with a kit of G.SKILL Flare X5 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR5 6000 (Model F5-6000J2836G16GX2-FX5W), which I even pushed to 6200MHz with CL28 timings. The board comes with WiFi 7, ensuring you get the latest in wireless connectivity, and my build is housed in a sleek Lian Li 207 case that keeps everything cool and organized. It also supports PCIe 5.0 a cool feature for future-proofing your setup. The VRM zone sports a massive heatsink that not only looks impressive but also keeps temperatures in check, and the board itself has a hefty, robust feel. Plus, the rear I/O is loaded with a wide range of connectors, making it a versatile choice for any build.


This board meets my expectation. I really do not care too much of the extra USB or satas. The motherboard did not have any issues out of the box and very easy to use with Bios. I felt MSI does the job well rarely I do not have anything bad to say about their products.

- Sturdy, premium build quality - Sleek design - Easy heat sink removal - Comprehensive BIOS

Install was a breeze: MSI has finally nailed the "EZ" life. The M.2 clips mean no more hunting for those tiny, soul-crushing screws, and the PCIe release button is a lifesaver if you have a massive GPU. Built for the future: Wi-Fi 7 is fast, and having USB4 ports is a huge plus for my external drives. I feel like I won't need to upgrade this platform for a long, long time. Overclocking? No sweat: The power delivery on this board is overkill in the best way possible. My Ryzen chip stays rock solid, and the heatsinks actually do their job instead of just looking pretty.

- 3 SSD m.2 slots -Lots of connectors for anything you'd need to hook up -Good looking aesthetic -Plenty of USB ports!

Pre attached backplate is a nice feature. The wifi antenna magnetic base is nice and the antenna connector is easy to attach (and remove) on the rear panel. Two M.2 SSD slots is a plus also.. Windows 11 installed with no issues. WiFi 6 capable.

Had plenty of USB on the panel and was easy to set up.

GPU + NVME PCI 5.0 Power/CMOS Clear buttons Easy to install components Lots of fun settings to tweak and mess with Lots of fan and rgb headers


Great Build Quality Easy DIY Features Great Bios

Everything is working well except the network port. It worked once or twice, but the wireless connection works every time. Obviously I prefer to use the wired connection because it is faster. This is a major annoyance.

PCIe 5.0 GPU Gen 5 SSD support EZ-DIY features like the M.2 clip and PCIe release button

Bios flashed with updated software to support 7800x3d. Worked perfectly with zero issues to post and install windows.

I was looking for a professional motherboard that supported the LGA1700 socket for new Intel processors, as well as plenty of slots for DDR4 memory and PCIe cards. This board was a great choice and included plenty of M.2 storage slots. A great choice for me as I was looking to support multiple VM's in a home lab scenario.

I was upgrading two PCs to run Windows 11. Inexpensive with plenty of USB 2 and 3 ports. Meets my needs - I am not a gamer

Plug and play without any issues Works great with 9900X 4 M.2 slots


- Solid power supply compare across same price product - Good design for thermal performance - Four M.2 slots

Cheap and affordable
