Board purpose
The MSI B450 TOMAHAWK is an ATX motherboard built on the AMD B450 chipset for Socket AM4 processors. It targets builders assembling systems around first or second generation Ryzen CPUs, including models with integrated Vega graphics.
Suitability guide
This board suits users who need dual-channel DDR4 memory support up to 64 GB across a wide range of speeds from 1866 MHz to 3466 MHz. It also provides one PCIe 3.0 x16 slot, one PCIe 2.0 x16 slot running at x4 mode, three PCIe 2.0 x1 slots, six SATA III ports and one M.2 interface. Builders requiring more than a single full-length PCIe 3.0 slot or newer CPU generations should look at other chipsets.
Deciding specification
The single specification that determines fit is the CPU socket: this motherboard only accepts Socket AM4 processors. If your CPU uses a different socket, the board will not work.

Questions sur cet article
How can I confirm the board is running correctly after assembly?
Power on the system and check that the POST screen appears, the CPU and DRAM debug LEDs stay off, and the BIOS detects the installed DDR4 memory at its rated speed up to 3466 MHz.
What accessories are included and what must I source separately?
The package contains the motherboard, a CMOS battery, one SATA cable and the rear I/O shield; you will need to buy a Socket AM4 CPU, DDR4 modules, storage drives, a power supply and a case.
Which memory capacity should I choose for this board?
The board supports a maximum of 64 GB across four slots, so pick a kit that totals 64 GB or less — for example four 16 GB modules or two 32 GB modules.
