Our take on the MSI B850 GAMING PLUS WIFI AMD AM5 ATX Gaming Desktop Motherboard

The MSI B850 Gaming Plus WiFi is an ATX AM5 motherboard for AMD Ryzen 7000, 8000 and 9000 series chips, built around DDR5 memory and a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for graphics cards. Its 12+2+1 duet rail power delivery, 5G LAN and Wi-Fi 7 put it above budget B850 boards that settle for 2.5G Ethernet and Wi-Fi 6E. EZ DIY touches like the tool-free M.2 Shield Frozr II, M.2 Clip II, PCIe Clip II and EZ Antenna make building and upgrading quicker. It suits gamers and builders who want modern networking and a strong VRM without paying for the premium X870 tier, though it gives up USB4 and has fewer PCIe lanes than those boards.
