This little board has a couple of key ticks that give it appeal.
The MSI MPG B650I Edge's good value for money, plus the inclusion of 20Gbps USB and four SATA ports give it some key expansion capabilities. It's sure to have years of upgrade potential ahead of it, though the lack of any Gen 5 support could count against it in times to come.Our experienced team dedicates many hours to every review, to really get to the heart of what matters most to you.
It's nice to see four SATA ports. With PCB space at a premium, and M.2 taking over, SATA ports are becoming rarer, with many ITX boards including just two. If you're after a board with the ability to support several SATA SSDs or hard drives, there are fewer options than you might expect. In summary, I was generally impressed by the MSI MPG B650I Gaming Edge. I quite like its aesthetic, though it's a bit sad to see chipset fans make a return to many SFF boards. You can thank hot M.2 drives for that. Luckily, the little MSI fan isn't obtrusive, and its speed can be controlled in the BIOS. Many boards in this price range lack 20Gbps USB, making the MSI B650i Edge one of few choices if you plan to use a USB dock or hub.SATA ports are becoming rare, but SATA is still useful.
