MSI B850M GAMING PLUS WIFI WiFi 6E MicroATX AM5 DDR5 Motherboard

About this deal

**Note on the product title:** The merchant lists this as having "WiFi 6E", but MSI's product line has two distinct variants -- the B850M GAMING PLUS WIFI (which carries Wi-Fi 7) and the B850M GAMING PLUS WIFI6E (which carries Wi-Fi 6E). I'll base the description on the confirmed specs of the WIFI6E variant where the title states WiFi 6E, while using corroborated shared specs for the rest. --- The MSI B850M GAMING PLUS WIFI6E is a Micro ATX motherboard built on the AMD B850 chipset with an AM5 socket, supporting AMD Ryzen 9000, 8000, and 7000 series desktop processors with PCIe 5.0 M.2, Wi-Fi 6E, and DDR5 memory. It features four DDR5 memory slots supporting up to 256 GB, with speeds ranging from DDR5-4800 up to DDR5-8200. It is a solid mid-range choice for gamers and PC builders looking for a compact board with modern connectivity. An enhanced VRM design with a digital CPU power system, 8+4-pin power connectors, and MSI's Core Boost technology helps sustain heavy gaming loads. MSI's Latency Killer feature, available in the BIOS, can reduce memory latency by up to 12% at high frequencies. RGB lighting is supported via MSI's Mystic Light utility within MSI Center, offering millions of colours and LED effects. The board is listed as opened but never used, making it a strong-value option for an AM5 DDR5 build.
