Show MSI X570-A ProMoving along to the last of MSI's seven deep X570 product stack is the entry-level MSI X570-A Pro. For users not looking to spend the $200 + for gaming branded boards and looking for more office-based and professional use, the MSI X570-A Pro includes a decent core feature set which includes the same 8+2 power delivery as the MPG X570 Gaming Plus ($169), but with basic design. Also included is a Gigabit NIC, DDR4-4400 support, and one PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slot.  On the MSI X570-A Pro is two full-length PCIe 4.0 which operate at x16, and x8/x4, and three PCIe 4.0 x1 slots. Also featured is one PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slot, but this slot doesn't come included with a heatsink; a total of six SATA ports make up the rest of the board's storage options. This model is very resemblant of the X570 Gaming Plus, but with a more professional look with its all-black theme, but without RGB or red accented heatsinks. On the X570 chipset heatsink is a cooling fan, and the X570-A Pro also has four memory slots with support for DDR4-4400 and up to a maximum of 128 GB. It also shares the same 8+2 power delivery as the X570 Gaming Edge WIFI and X570 Gaming Plus models, and also includes an 8-pin and 4-pin pair of 12 V ATX CPU power inputs. MSI's X570-A Pro includes one USB 3.1 G2 Type-A, one USB 3.1 G2 Type-C, two USB 3.1 G1 Type-A, and two USB 2.0 ports on its rear panel. A clear CMOS switch is present, along with an HDMI video output, and a PS/2 combo port. The single Ethernet port is controlled by a Realtek RTL8111H Gigabit NIC, while the five 3.5 mm audio jacks and S/PDIF optical output are powered by a premium Realtek ALC1220 HD audio codec. The MSI X570-A Pro as it stands is the cheapest model from its X570 product stack with an MSRP of $159. It's solid and uniformed all-black look is very simplistic, and users not looking for NVIDIA SLI support and more than two PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slots will find this as an attractive model. This no-frills and inexpensive (compared to some others) makes this one of the cheaper entry points onto the X570 chipset for users looking to benefit from X570's features such as PCIe 4.0. MSI MPG X570 Gaming Plus Choosing The Right X570 Motherboard Executive TL?DR summary Note: My reviews are always in-depth, and aimed at experienced users in the tech community. You can ignore the rest if you're a normal person lol. ------------------------------ Incoming: Asus GeForce GTX 1660 Evo GPU (DUAL-GTX1660S-O6G-EVO) Old: Phanteks Enthoo Pro M case, Thermaltake TPD-750M PS, Silverstone TD02-Lite cooler, various system fans, cables, drives (HDD, SSD, optical). ------------------------------ ------------------------------ I hadn't had time to do the necessary "deep-dive" troubleshooting to determine the problem... and none of my usual bag-o'-tricks were effective. I mean, I highly suspected a heat issue of some sort, but my testing results were always ambiguous. I was hoping to get a couple of more years before a new build, but... Then, a client asked me to do a "super-build" for her over BF... so I took the opportunity to purchase the minimal (and least expensive) components to upgrade the existing build to current tech (and it's always nice to have spares for comparison testing when you do a new build). ------------------------------ Note: For the client system, I used better spec'ed components... she had a much higher budget than I did LOL. ... I built the client's system first... and rebuilt my "old" workstation afterwards (note: adding core components over an existing build is more complicated – and takes more time – than starting from a clean slate). I had zero issues with any components during testing, and build. ------------------------------ Note: For business oriented workstations, "fast" is a relative term. With the adoption of SSD's a few years back – and the concomitant productivity gains – speed has simply not been a problem for office level equipment. The "surprise" bit is: I discovered the specific cause of the problems on the [now defunct] AM3 system. As it turned out... even using new core components, I was still getting random power-offs. ... so the problem was NOT the mainboard, memory, or CPU. My speculation at that point quickly centered on my older XFX R9 380 graphics card... which was easily swapped out with the new R580 in my client's PC. And. No more random power downs... the symptoms were (and had been) caused by excessive temps in the GPU. (It turns out that overheating in R9 380/390 series GPUs is a known issue, especially as those cards have aged.) ...hence, the incoming Asus GTX 1660 Super GPU mentioned early in the review. The good is... I suppose I can buy an inexpensive case and power supply, and maybe a new GPU (I haven't tried sorting out WHY it's overheating... and I've read suggestions that replacing the heat paste my fix things) and pretty much have another backup workstation. The jury is still out on that LOL... for now, I'm putting the old, still good components back in their boxes (yeah: I keep empty component boxes lol). ------------------------------ Pro reviewers of the MSI X570-A Pro board mainly focused on weaknesses in the VRM components and tech on the board, and the potentially inadequate heat-sinks. And I suppose if I was a gamer planning on over-clocking, I might have opted for the more expensive (by about $40) MSI Gaming rendition board used in my client build... but this was a budget interim build (that put off by 2-3 years my next tech build), so potential weaknesses overclocking wasn't of particular concern. ------------------------------ Of interest to tech pro's is that I schlepped the existing boot NVMe m.280 onto the board... and (wonder-of-wonders) the existing Windows 10 Pro install (first boot of which was in 2016) had ZERO problems. I logged in, W10 thought about it for a minute or two, asked for a single restart, and the restart was gold. I was suspicious that replacing the mainboard, memory, and CPU didn't at least have licensing issues (if you've been around long enough, you know how picky Microsoft's activation algorithm's can be)... but... nothing. No issues. I didn't have to reactivate. Even the subsequent change GPU's didn't cause a problem. ... I think that was the one thing in the rebuild process that did actually come as a total "my-how-things-have-changed" surprise LOL. Anyways. As always, I'll update for any significant changes that trigger the need to reprise this review. If you have questions, post them as a comment.

First, it doesn't have built-in WiFi, so you'll need to add a WiFi card if you want to connect to the internet wirelessly. Second, the motherboard only has two USB 3.0 ports, so you'll need to use a USB hub if you want to connect more than two USB devices.
