Design, power chain radiators, price
Additional software and other extras are still on the disk, which personally really annoys me.
Shagruduse MSI B450 GAMING PLUS month or more i recommend it should buy
the motherboard is like a motherboard, set it and forget it, but not for overclocking
8 December 2019 
A good mother for her money, there are no questions for her, everything is chasing (percent, opera)
good sound if you install Nahimic + simple BIOS for overclocking RAM via the XMP profile, 3466 takes without hassle (as of early 2019)
everything is good in it, but I would like more cleanliness for xmp opera

For low-cost gamers

After the release of the AMD B450 chipset in 2018, the number of universal motherboards based on the AM4 socket has grown like mushrooms after the rain. In the face of fierce competition, manufacturers had to get out and release game boards with price tags slightly above $100. One of these instances is the MSI B450 GAMING PLUS.

4 DDR4 slots, support for two video cards

Let's make a reservation right away that the name Gaming Plus is very arbitrary here, since MSI equipped the board with a set of connections quite standard for the B450 chip (4 DDR4 slots, a pair of M.2, support for two video cards, HDMI) and standard functionality such as backlight with synchronization or reinforced PCI slots -E to safely connect cards of any size. The overclocking capabilities of the MSI B450 GAMING PLUS are within reason (i.e., do not drive anything at the level of Ryzen 7 2700X and higher), and the "gaming" nature of the board manifests itself only in a stylish black and red colour scheme and the ability to overclock RAM up to 3466 MHz.

The world's best BIOS

Does this mean that we have a so-so motherboard? By no means! Solutions based on the B450 chip look extremely interesting, as they provide everything the average user needs and do not require much in return. And for fans of extreme overclocking, there are plenty of motherboards based on top-end X370 and X470 chips. As for this particular board, it provides a couple of bonuses in terms of ease of use: MSI has a damn convenient and understandable BIOS with the most simplified overclocking process. Plus, in case something happens, there is a separate button on the board to reset the BIOS.
