I have build one system with this motherboard.
need to disable AMD graphics something wrong when paired with nvidia GPU
Max cpu power draw limited to 130w

no issues... But I think it will not last one year

HUB had this board in one of their VRM roundups, earlier this year. TLDR, it's junk.

The Power Consumption graph shows the MSI Pro B650M-P at 71/146/221 for idle/avg/load power but the description after says it's 66/170/273 which the graph shows as the MSI B650i Edge Wi-Fi. Which is correct?

Also, the System Components section has a picture but nothing else. What components were used for the system as tested?

This board "sounds" like it's up my alley. While I want performance from my PC, I much prefer a low power system. But, this seems to have come up short. It seems focused on not over building the system that can wastes a bunch of power with it. But it's the same or worse then other more powerful boards. So other then being cheap, there's nothing else going for it. The ASRock at 49 idle looks WAY better.

I once owned an MSi product, a flagship-level motherboard called the MSi K9A2 Platinum:

It died three months after the one-year warranty expired. I reached out to MSi to see if they could do anything for me. I told them that I realised the warranty was up and I wasn't asking for a replacement but I asked if they could do anything for me, like a discount on a replacement or something. After all, this was their flagship AMD board and I hadn't done any overclocking and only had two HD 4870 1GB cards in crossfire instead of the four that the board purportedly supported. I thought that MSi would be embarrassed that one of their flagship boards failed just after the warranty expired. MSi "customer service" essentially told me to go pound sand. If they were at least polite about it, I would've understood, but they weren't.

I worked at Tiger Direct at the time and not only did I never buy another MSi product, I never recommended one to any of my customers. I cost MSi tens of thousands of dollars in business because instead of MSi motherboards, I sold ASRock, ASUS, Gigabyte, EVGA or XFX. I also stopped selling their cards with BFG, Diamond, EVGA, HIS, Powercolor, Sparkle and XFX being the brands I sold the most (for some reason, Tiger Direct never had Sapphire).

I will never buy another MSi product and they only make it easier by producing crap like the Pro B650M-P.

Great for 65w TDP chips with a little OC if needed, but that's all. But the gist of the article is about budget builds so there's that.
