MSI Pro B660M-A DDR4 Motherboard Review: Pro Board on a Budget

Tom's Hardware Verdict

At under $140, the MSI Pro B600M-A DDR4 a competent board all around. There are plenty of storage options and 2.5 GbE, and a dated mid-range audio codec. The jet-black board won’t draw attention inside your chassis, but you can add RGB lighting. While a viable option, we would like to see this priced around $120 to better compete with similar boards.
