Questions about MSI B450M Pro-VDH Max

here the link >> https://de.msi.com/Motherboard/B450M-PRO-VDH-MAX/support#cpu. your CPU seems to have the bios 7A38vBE. necessary. On my board is the E7A38 AMS.BCO, created on 14.05.21, with a Ryzen 3 3200 G, I don't know if I did an update or the predecessor (bought the board on 12.10. used via digitec).21), so I can't say for sure with which bios the board was delivered, I assume that the board is older than my above mentioned creation date of my bios (14.05.21). Hope to have helped a little. Kind regards , Peter

Yep needs a USB adapter or something similar.

Since the mainboard has a PCIe 16x interface, any commercially available graphics card will fit in it. It depends on your case whether it is too small.

Yes, you can install a water cooling system. For example, you can set the pump to SYS_FAN and the fan for the water cooling to CPU_FAN. It doesn't really matter, all fan connections are programmable in the BIOS https://download.msi.com/archive/mnu_exe/mb/M7A38v8.1.pdf

Just check which connection you need and which one the board has and you'll know. Here are the specifications of the board. PCI-E 3.0 x16 (@x16) 1 x, now you only have to look at the graphics card. Tip: Power supply should also have at least 400 watts and if the graphics card has double the height, also pay attention to the PC housing so that it fits. Good luck.

There is none installed, but digitec offers wifi sticks or internal cards. 👍

The screws are included with the mainboard.

The board has 4 x SATA connections, so you can also connect a SATA DVD drive.

Yes, the board is compatible. However, the board (I still have a few of them lying around) is very outdated.

Hello You should be a little more specific. W-Lan or Bluetooth? Unfortunately, this mainboard does not have either. However, you can buy an additional USB dongle, regardless of whether it is Bluetooth or W-Lan. Greetings

Yes, that fits.

Depends on the CPU... The voltage converters might reach their limits at some point with high performance. With the R5 3600 in my case it works excellently, the voltage converters remain quite cool. I couldn't notice any difference to higher-quality motherboards, so the CPU is limiting here. I had more problems with the RAM. To be on the safe side, I would buy a Ryzen 5 RAM module that already reaches 3600 Mhz via the XMP profile to avoid performance losses at lower or higher clock speeds. For the normal user, the board probably offers the best price-performance ratio and is well suited for normal overclocking. Ambitious overclocking can be annoying, however, as neither a dual BIOS nor reset switches etc. are built in. The automatic reset also only works to a limited extent. Bios resets via battery can then quickly become annoying.

Hi I can't give you an exact answer, but with the Corsair Vengeance LPX (2x, 8GB, DDR4-3000, DIMM 288) bars it works without problems. Actually, it should also work with the 3600. PS: The compatibility should normally be listed on the manufacturer's page. I hope I was able to help anyway. Kind regards Beni1194

I didn't know that either until I went to MSI's own site. Some of the specifications for the products are incomplete and it's worth googling. But I am satisfied with the motherboard so far. But I would wait a bit, because I have heard that AMD have/will change the socket for the latest upcoming processors. So wait and see and then buy the latest MSI motherboard, where the latest Amd processors can also be installed.

I bought mine about 1 month ago and fitted it with a Ryzen 3700, ran straight away without a BIOS update or anything.

Yes I assume you already have a processor and GPU? Otherwise I would possibly buy a newer processor.

The price increase of 60 francs will probably have several reasons. But in my opinion/assumption, the main reason will probably be the corona virus. As home office and leisure/quarantine have increased due to the coronavirus, the demand for electronic articles has also risen sharply. Because the demand for these items has increased so much, but the supply of electronic goods has remained about the same, there is a price explosion. Supply and demand mainly determine the price. I have read in various newspapers that all online shops are literally overrun with orders because of the corona virus, so it is very likely that the price increase has something to do with it. But it's a great motherboard that I've installed myself. Personally, it would be worth the extra 60 (total 140) to me.

Yes, it fits because I have the larger rtx 2080 super Trio gaming Edition on it.

Hi, yes it certainly fits in the PCI express slot. 👍

Yes, I have installed the AMD Ryzen 3600. Everything runs great.

You can check this in the maunal. It can be downloaded directly from the digitec product page. are 3x 4Pin.

Yes you can, it doesn't depend on the mainboard. A suitable power supply would be a bequiet Straightpower 11 650W or Seasonic Focus Gold 650W.

Short question, short answer: Yes.

Yes this cpu fits in perfectly know someone who has the same mainboare and the same cpu
