MSI 7972-002R B150M Mortar Micro ATX LGA1151 Socket Motherboeard GENUINE

Amazing value for budget builds

I was looking to upgrade my desktop from my old AMD FX-8350, so I decided to buy this board alongside an i5-6600k. While the b150m chipset does not allow for overclocking an unlocked processor like mine, it provides great value as there are four USB 3.1 ports and it also has a SATA express 6GB/s interface.

The BIOS is also great for a budget board as it provides a clickable interface to control CPU fan speed vs temperature.

Initially I was going to buy an i5-7600 but it cost 20% more than the i5-6600k and both processors have similar performance according to benchmarks, so even without being able to overclock it I was completely satisfied.Read full review
